Description of the problem | Returned to the car after shopping. Opened the tailgate for loading groceries. Tailgate closed without warning. Fortunately, no one was under and no one was injured. Afterward, tailgate would not stay open. Struts failure was the reason. Struts failure without warning is a big safety risk because the tailgate is very heavy, and could cause severe injuries if someone is under. |
