| Description of the problem | My tailgate opens by itself. Does not matter if i'm driving in park. Multiple times, it has opened while driving done the road or on the highway. It first started while just sitting in the garage or driveway. I would come out and find it down. Its not a key fob issue as i believe the tailgate should not go down regardless if your driving down the road. This has been an issue for the past few months. I took it to dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. |
