Consumer Description

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR LIFT HATCH (USING EITHER MY KEY FOB, THE DASHBOARD CONTROL BUTTON, OR THE BUTTON ON THE REAR LIFT HATCH) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, THE REAR LIFT HATCH RISES TO NEAR THE TOP. IT SUDDENLY STARTS CLOSING BEFORE IT GOES INTO A COMPLETE LIFT POSITION. THE PART THAT MAY BE DEFECTIVE IS UNKNOWN. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE COULD REACH IN THE REAR OF THE ENCLAVE TO GRAB ITEMS, AND THE HATCH CLOSES IN ON THE PERSON BEFORE THEY CAN ESCAPE.
