Description of the problem | My 2017 ford sd f-250 tailgate has opened by itself on several occasions. Several times last year both stationary and in motion. It has happened twice this year while stationary. I've never seen it happen in real time only after it has happened. In 2017 on 2 different occasions i was going down the highway and passing cars pointed to my tailgate. This year 2018 the truck was parked at work for several hours and when i walked to it the tail gate was wide open. The key fob is always in my front pants pocket. |
