Consumer Description

THE REAR HATCH KEEPS OPENING BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR IS RUNNING AND MOVING DOWN THE STREET AND YOU HEAR THE LATCH ON THE LIFTGATE ACTIVATE UNLATCHING IT. YOU GET A CONFIRMATION NOTICE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT THE LIFTGATE IS OPEN. IT IS CONSISTENT ON THE FREQUENCY BUT NOT CAUSED BY A CERTAIN EVENT, LIKE HITTING A BUMP OR TURNING OR COMING TO A STOP, BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. FINALLY DID SOME INTERNET SEARCHING AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PT CRUISER LIFTGATE LATCHES FOR SEVERAL MODEL YEARS
