Consumer Description

TAILGATE TO TRUCK HAS OPENED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER 2019. I AM NOT SURE AT THE EXACT TIME AND CONDITIONS THAT THE TAILGATE OPENED BUT WEATHER WAS RAINING MID-DAY ON TWO OF THE OCCASIONS, THE THIRD WAS EARLY MORNING. ONE OF THE TIMES THE TAILGATE OPENED WAS WHILE TOWING A CARGO TRAILER WHICH RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE TOP OF THE TAILGATE AS IT FELL ON THE TRAILER TONGUE JACK HANDLE. AS A NEWLY RETIRED NAVY PILOT I 'PRE-FLIGHT' MY TRUCK AND TRAILER BEFORE EVERY DRIVE CHECKING SAFETY CHAINS, LOCKS, TIRES AND LIGHTS.
