Consumer Description

MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND I WERE PARKED OUTSIDE A GROCERY STORE. WE CAME OUT WITH SEVERAL BAGS AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER OPENED THE BACK LIFT GATE. IT WENT UP AND THEN CAME BACK DOWN AGAIN. IT DIDN'T STAY UP. I TRIED TO OPEN IT AGAIN WITH MY KEY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. WENT UP, HESITATED AND CAME BACK DOWN AGAIN. I STOPPED OPENING THE GATE AND PUT BAGS INSIDE. I TOOK HER HOME THEN DROVE HOME MYSELF. I SHOWED MY HUSBAND WHAT THE BACK GATE WAS DOING. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER I BOUGHT MY TERRAIN FROM LAST YEAR (FEBRUARY 2017) AND GOT APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE TODAY. THE FORD SERVICE CALLED THE CHEVROLET SERVICE AND REFERRED ME TO THEM FOR SERVICE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHO CHECKED IF MY CAR WAS ON ANY RECALL, SHE SAID THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS, BUT WE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH MAY COVER THE COSTS. HOWEVER, I HAVE TO PAY THE FIRST $200 OF ANY SERVICE REPAIRS. I DON'T BELIEVE THE BACK GATE SHOULD STOP WORKING WHEN THE REST OF MY CAR WORKS FINE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET HELP TO REPAIR MY CAR'S BACK GATE?
