Consumer Description

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE, BREAK, TURN, COMING TO A STOP AND GOING OVER A BUMP MY DOOR AJAR CHIMES ON THE DASH FOR THE BACK DOOR (HATCH). ALSO, THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE CHIME AND PICTURE POPS UP THAT MY REAR GATE IS AJAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I AM NOT THE ONLY CAR WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED SINCE THIS POTENTIALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A CONTINUAL AND ONGOING ISSUE.
