Description of the problem | Within the last 6 months my rear gate has closed without any action by me. The first time it happened was 6 months ago. I was loading in the back of my edge and the rear gate started closing. It closed on my back and would not stop. I noticed it was not going to stop so i ducked real fast to get out of the way. I had a stiff neck for weeks. I went to pick up tile and they were loading it in the back and i noticed the gate starting to close and i yelled at the guy to duck and get out of the way. My wife was putting something in the back and i yelled to her to get out of the way. I have taken the vehicle to 2 dealers and each said no trouble found. This could be dangerous if a little kid was in the back when it was closing on its own since there does not seem to be any safety to stop it. The vehicle was off each time with the gate open each time. |
