| Description of the problem | Tailgate or back glass cannot be opened. They are locked, fuse good. Slight click can be heard when try to open, but does not work. This is an electric lock and no way to open manually. When search on the internet hundreds of complaints could be found about the same problem. This is definitely a problem in the design. Hundreds of vehicles from 2005 to 2007 have experienced the same problem . I have seen recalls even for child safety sticker. I wonder why there is no recall for this problem. |
