Description of the problem | ,when the automatic locks engage for the doors and tailgate after reaching a certain speed, t unknown times and without warning the tailgate will disengage and open. It happens every couple of days, depending on how often i use the truck. Luckily no one has been behind me and so far the tailgate cables have held up. I made an appointment with a local ram dealer to have it looked at and the service person stated they've had a couple come in like that. I saw where ram is recalling the 2015-2017 trucks and feel this should be looked further back. |
