NHTSA Complaint #10733449 — 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE

THE POWER LIFT GATE FOR MY CAR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT DOES ONE OF SEVERAL THINGS, WORKS CORRECTLY WHEN IT WANTS TO. DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL WHEN PROMPTED, OPENS HALF WAY THEN SHUTS ON ITS OWN, OPENS ALL THE WAY AND SHUTS ON ITS OWN, OR OPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN AFTER JUST LOCKING AND SECURING THE CAR. ALSO WHEN OPEN AND PROMPTED TO CLOSE WITH THE BUTTON/S, IT WILL EITHER CLOSE, NOT CLOSE OR CLOSE HALF WAY AND RE OPEN. TODAY MY POWER LIFT GATE DECIDED TO OPEN SUDDENLY ON ITS OWN WHEN I LOCKED THE CAR AND STEPPED ABOUT 2 FEET AWAY, IN JUST THAT MOMENT A PASSING CAR IN THE PARKING LOT WAS COMING BY AND HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP TO AVOID HITTING MY NOW RAISING POWER LIFT GATE. NEED LESS TO SAY HE WAS INCHES FROM HITTING THE CORNER OF THE GATE WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF HIS CAR.
