| Description of the problem | In the winter of 2006 the gas struts that supported the rear cargo door failed. The struts did not fail completely. It appears that some, but not all, of the gas that charges the struts has leaked out. The problem manifests only in the cold weather when the gas volume in the struts is less due to the cold. In the summer the struts perform normally. |
