2000MY problem?
I wonder if this is mostly a problem with the 2000 model year vehicles? It seems that most of the previous posts, the writers experiencing the problem had 2000 tundras. Maybe they switched to a tougher plastic near the beginning of the 2001MY?
My Tundra is a 2001 and the latch hasn't broken and is used extensively. I have a 7 year-old daughter who is fascinated by it. She opens and closes it at least 5 times everytime she sits in the backseat on trips around town. I couldn't begin to count the total number of times it has been used but it would be well into the hundreds!
Good luck on getting it fixed. It seems like an obvious warranty fix -- don't let the service writer tell you different!!
