One problem related to hatchback/liftgate has been reported for the 2009 Toyota Prius. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The rear hatch release on my 2009 Toyota Prius has begun to decompose and turn into a rubbery, gooey mess. It interferes with the use of the hatch as the goo not only gets on the fingers but appears to be blocking the release mechanism.
