| Component | STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEV |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While removing items from the rear section of the vehicle the lift gate dropped down and begin closing on me. As thought the locking device failed holding it up and open, it did not stop once gently touching me and i had to use force to stop it from closing further until i could get out from under it. The only thing i have noticed prior to this incident is that the gate seems to open/close slower than previously. Now i do not use the rear storage unless absolutely necessary and even then, i do not allow anyone to work underneath it without a second person being there for support. |
