2022 Toyota Venza Body & Structure Problems

Your rear hatch locking system is freezing up and malfunctioning even without rain or snow, preventing the hatch from opening or closing properly. The hatch unexpectedly popped open while you were backing up, even though you thought it was closed. This issue has happened twice, and the dealership has already inspected it.

Both of your front doors have faulty lock assemblies that prevent them from locking and unlocking properly. A Toyota dealer diagnosed the issue at around 38,000 miles and confirmed the lock assemblies are defective. Fixing this will require replacing the front door lock assemblies with new ones.

Your power liftgate has started making groaning and grinding noises when closing, and it's struggling to shut properly. The motor and support struts appear to be wearing out prematurely—the problem began around 38,000 miles and has gotten worse. The dealership says this is no longer covered under warranty since you're over 36,000 miles, and repair costs are around $1,700. You may need replacement of the liftgate motor, struts, and associated hardware to restore normal operation.
