Had this repaired at same time as replacing rear window motor. Lived without operating the rear window for a long time-couldn't live more than a few days without the use of the rear hatch.

This is the second time this PLASTIC handle has broken on this vehicle. There is an obvious design defect in the asymmetrical load placed on material that cannot withstand repeated torque pressures. The part should be manufactured out of metal. They must know this and continue to produce plastic replacement parts. Therefore, I must conclude that this is part a campaign to keep their service personnel busy and the coffers at the dealership full. When this part breaks, you simply lose the utility of the vehicle.
I shall never buy another Toyota. I believed this to be a quality truck and am truly disappointed.
