| Description of the problem | The power liftgate started to randomly close. It closed on myself and my child while we were unloading the trunk area of the minivan. It caused some discomfort as it was quite heavy. One time it automatically reopened when it hit my body but 3 other times it did not and i had to jump out of the way. I have had to take the power control off and open it manually - even now it will shut on me but with the power disengaged i can hold it open. It is a heavy door and could easily cause some injury. I have tested it using the remote and it is still malfunctioning. I indicated injury below as i was hit with it and my son banged his head though it was all minor. |
