Consumer Description

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS IN CASE # PE18-011. MY TAILGATE WILL OPEN RANDOMLY ON ITS OWN. THE TAILGATE RELEASE WILL ACTUATE OVER AND OVER WHEN THE BUTTON IS PUSHED ONCE. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS TSB 17-2196. WATER GETS INTO A WIRING HARNESS. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THE TAILGATE OPENING WHILE TOWING COULD CAUSE A LIMIT TO STEERING ABILITY AS THE TAILGATE CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE ITSELF IF IT LANDS ON SOMETHING.
