| Description of the problem | Following warranty work on defective door locks, the rear tailgate opens electronically but oftentimes will close immediately on you. It is inconsistent, sometimes it occurs twice in a row and sometimes it is every third opening. It has come down on my head and that of my wife. This happens when the vehicle is turned off and happens when using the interior button, the button on the key fob and the button on the tailgate handle. |
