| Description of the problem | On five separate occasions, the tailgate of the vehicle has opened on its own. It has happened during various hours of the day, both daytime and overnight. And on three of those occasions the home link system has also been activated which then opened the garage door causing damage to the rear of the tailgate. Also, since the onset of this issue the home link button does not always work even in close proximity to the garage door itself. |
