Crawling into the trunk is my favorite every time I do grocery(Unfortunately). I even developed the skill to do a hard brake so everything slide to the frontI had an issue with the emergency release getting loose and jammed in the trunk when closing. It actually broke the emergency release lever off internally in the latch. It’s made of plastic. I was able to get the trunk open by crawling through the front into the trunk and following steps 1-2d in this post. After 2d I was able to unbolt the striker. and pull out the striker with the bottom panel. Then I was able to access the bottom of the trunk and pull out the latch.

Pedantically, relays don't move, they're just switches. You're talking about the servo.With enough pressure/friction, the relay can't move the catch from the latch.
Super pedantically, unless it's a transitor based switch, nearly every switch incorporates moving parts. Even hall-effect switches require the positioning of a magnet for on and off states.Pedantically, relays don't move, they're just switches. You're talking about the servo.
You're so right here it hurts. Thanks for being an asshole and correct me being an asshole.Super pedantically, unless it's a transitor based switch, nearly every switch incorporates moving parts. Even hall-effect switches require the positioning of a magnet for on and off states.
Every electromechanical relay ever made has a contact positioned on a moveable-armature to form one-half of the switch. And these wear out. A lot. I restore EM pinball machines, among other hobbies...
But yes, you're correct. The part that holds the trunk latch in place is more properly referred to as a servo.
Same thing happened to my Supra today… Hatch is jammed with the emergency release. Could you share a bit more about your fix? I tried @vrwm ‘s way but could not get 2d done. Thanks!Ending:
So I finally got it fix now. A lot had happened during this period and I have talked about it in another thread.
What Toyota said is the emergency handle got tangled and messed up everything.
The conclusion is it's necessary to tape the handle because when you slam the hatch there's a chance that handle would pop off and catch something in the trunk.
The hatch design is probable the worst part of this car...
Yeah, that's a new one.I went to do grocery couple days ago. Put the foods inside the trunk and it never opens again
Brought her to Toyota this morning and they couldn't fix it. Apparently this is a new issue. Rescheduling for Toyota engineers to come over and have a look.
I guess this defined Supra as a BMW
PS: Not the same as the common re-latching problem, the door is completely locked
I brought it to Toyota service center. They had to broke the bottom part to get it fix. It was covered by the warranty so all it toke is a lot of time.Same thing happened to my Supra today… Hatch is jammed with the emergency release. Could you share a bit more about your fix?

I took it into the dealer as well under warranty. They replaced the striker unit, emergency hatch release, door panel, etc. Just going to have to wait till parts come in.Same thing happened to my Supra today… Hatch is jammed with the emergency release.

Looks like this problem is quite common. They really should have released a recall or something.I took it into the dealer as well under warranty. They replaced the striker unit, emergency hatch release, door panel, etc. Just going to have to wait till parts come in.
I taped my release down since it comes off the pin way too easily.
