| Component | STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEV |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Lift gate will not stay open any longer. When power lift is enabled, it will open the back hatch (slowly) and immediately begin closing -- in power mode! This has some pretty fierce force behind it and am glad that we do not allow our children anywhere near it until this is fixed. One or both of the gas lifters has obviously failed. It used to be that this was bad only in cold weather but now it happens regardless of temperature (70 degrees today). |
