Consumer Description

THE LIFT GATE WOULD NOT STAY OPEN. IT WOULD OPEN BUT THEN SUDDENLY JUST SLAM DOWN. THE LIFT GATE STRUTS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE WE WERE UNLOADING GROCERIES, THE LIFT GATE CAME CRASHING DOWN ON MY FAMILIES HEADS. IT BEGAN THE SUMMER OF 2014. I ENDED UP TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED IT, HOWEVER, I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. I JUST NOW RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE SAME PARTS SO I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER.
