Consumer Description

I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES FROM BED AREA. TRIED TO CLOSE THE TAILGATE AND TAILGATE WOULD NOT LATCH. I ALWAYS PULL ON TAILGATE AFTER CLOSING TO MAKE SURE IT LATCHES BUT THIS TIME IT DID NOT. SINCE THEN IT HAS REPEATED THIS ACTION 3-4 MORE TIMES BUT NEVER OPENED WHILE MOVING (YET.) I MANIPULATE THE LATCHING MECHANISM A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT WILL CATCH. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WAS PURCHASED PREVIOUSLY OWNED ( I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-1/2 YEARS), AND CURRENTLY HAS 92,430 MILES. ALL OTHER RECALLS ARE FIXED AND UP TO DATE.
