Description of the problem	When the liftgate is closing a "clicking" noise is made due to stress on the liftgate motor. This is caused because of the significant amount of strain on the motor to open the liftgate. This is a significant safety issue because the motor was designed to be under significant stress and when it fails, will cause the liftgate to fall potentially injuring my children unloading the trunk. The subaru dealership agreed this is an issue that needs to be resolved but does not cover the cost of repairing this safety issue.
