| Description of the problem | Electronic tailgate opens up on its own while driving down the highway or while parked. I nearly lost my cargo due to this which would have caused an accident. Also, i injured my hand when the tailgate opened on its own and was pinched between the tail gate and trailer jack. Nothing bones were fractured but was really sore and had bruising and laceration. I found online how this was previously investigated in the 2017 ford super duty but no recall was issued. I have a 2019 superduty and was injured and nearly caused an accident on different occasions. I have had the tailgate open on its own 12 times now and it is getting worse. I have not found any specific action/configuration that triggers this. It is totally random. Please help |
