Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE TAILGATE WILL OPEN WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS DONE THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS.. I HAVE HAD ITEMS FALL OUT ONE TIME ONTO THE ROADWAY LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENTS ONLY SOME ITEM DAMAGE.I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DODGE RAM DEALER THEY SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE LATCH IS FAILING. THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2015 THRU 2018 RAMS FOR THE PROBLEM I AM DESCRIBING. THEY SAID I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE LATCH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IF THERE WAS A PROBLEMS WITH LATER YEARS THAN MINE I WOULD GUESS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2013'S.
