| Description of the problem | The liftgate "slipped", failed and came down on the owner. Because it was set for auto closure, it came down with a mechanical force behind it. I had to disable the auto closure because of this and then it just came crashing down by gravity. It would start to slip slowly so you didn't know it was happening, then past a certain point, just came flying down. *jb |
