Went to put my groceries away after leaving the store. Lifted on the rear hatch handle and was surprised to find the trunk still closed and the handle still in my hand. Now my license plate lights and my handle to open the trunk are dangling from the rear of my car.

Hatch handle, made of flimsy plastic and held on by a couple of screws, broke off. This part, which contains the handle, lock mechanism and the license plate light, gets a lot of use, opening and closing the hatch, and is not very well made for the amount of use it is subjected too.

Glass roof/sunroof assembly constantly creaks and pops. Taken to dealership and tsb performed, noises went away for approximately 2 weeks and noise returned. Took back to dealership, was informed it needed "lubrication" and it should be fine, noises have returned again. Also, the hatchback always rattles, as recommended by a Scion message board, slightly larger bump stops were purchased, which lessened the rattling, but is still present when going over bumps, sounds like if hatch was not fully closed, but it is. All of the above information is for a Scion tc, option for this vehicle was not available in complaint form so a Scion Xb was selected.
