Consumer Description

MY TAILGATE KEEPS OPENING ON IT'S OWN WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. IT OPENS WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. I TRANSPORT RVS FOR A LIVING AND IF THE TAILGATE FALLS AND I DON'T REALIZE IT, IT CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT AND I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT, WHEN IT IS A CHRYSLER KNOWN ISSUE. THE RECALL THAT JUST CAME OUT IS FOR ONLY SHORT BEDS AND I HAVE A LONG BED. I NEED THIS ISSUED RESOLVED UNDER THE RECALL, BUT CANNOT BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSEDLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *DT*JB *DT*JB *DT*JB
