Consumer Description

THE HYDRAULIC PUMPS THAT HOLD THE BACK HATCH OPEN(UP) ON MY EQUINOX JUST QUIT WORKING WITH OUT ANY WARNING . THE HATCH IS SO HEAVY I CAN'T USE IT THERE IS NO SAFE WAY OF HOLDING UP THE HATCH TO PUT ANYTHING INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR. I'M LOOKING INTO BUYING A NEW SET ,ONE FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE .IF I FIND THEM I WILL KEEP THE OLD ONES.,UNTIL I HEAR OTHERWISE .. IF I ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE HATCH, ITS SLAMS DOWN VERY HARD BECAUSE THE HATCH ITSELF IS SO HEAVY . IF A CHILD HAPPEN TO BE NEAR THE HATCH WHEN IT GOES DOWN THEY COULD BE HURT VERY BADLY AS COULD AN ADULT. I NO LONG CAN OPEN THE HATCH AS ITS TOO HEAVY TO LIFT . THE INFO ON THE PUMPS IS STABILUS USA GASTONIA NC 28052 5480869 4992RQ0830N 007105 B20 *TR
