Description of the problem | The tailgate opened and once it was completely open it fell suddenly a few feet and without warning. We took it to the dealership to get it fixed and they said they had seen this on multiple times. They said the struts go bad. They replaced the strut (spelling?) and it fixed the problem. We are very concerned that if this occurs with someone else it could hit their head and cause serious injury. |
