Consumer Description

TAILGATE LATCH DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AT COLD TEMPERATURES. FAILURE IS COVERED FOR V70, BUT NOT V70XC. LATCH ASSEMBLIES ARE THE SAME. NUMEROUS OTHER REFERENCES TO V70XC LATCH FAILURES FOUND ON INTERNET. PROBLEM IS MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD THAN ACKNOWLEDGED. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO MULTIPLE DEALERS. THEY ONLY SPRAY LUBRICANT ON THE LATCH AND IGNORE THE PROBLEM.*CN
