Consumer Description

THE TAILGATE ON MY 2016 RAM 2500 POWER WAGON HAS FALLEN OPEN THREE SEPERATE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I MADE SURE IT WAS FULLY SHUT BY PULLING/TUGGING ON THE TAILGATE. ALL THREE INCIDENTS OCCURED IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENTERING THE TRUCK AND WHILE ACCELERATING. THE TRUCK WAS MOVING JUST UNDER 30MPH.
