Consumer Description

THE LIFTGATE IS BROKEN. THE HYDRAULICS SUPPORTING IT WILL NOT KEEP IT IN AN OPEN POSITION AND IT FALLS IF NOT HELD UP MANUALLY. IT ALSO ELECTRONICALLY MISFIRES AND WILL SHUT WITH THE LIFTGATE MOTOR AND CANNOT BE STOPPED. IT HAS CLOSED ON BOTH ME AND MY CHILD. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM FRUSTRATED THAT IT HAS BEEN RECALLED WITH NO REPAIR DATE FORTHCOMING.
