Consumer Description

TRUCK TAILGATE OPENS RANDOMLY. THIS WAS A PROBLEM ON OVER 20 OCCASIONS BEFORE THE FORD SUPERDUTY TAILGATE RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED. HOWEVER, SINCE THE RECALL FIX WAS IMPLEMENTED ON MY TRUCK IN MARCH 2020, THE TAILGATE HAS OPENED ON IT'S OWN AT LEAST 6 MORE TIMES! USUALLY I DISCOVER THE TAILGATE HAS OPENED UPON REACHING A DESTINATION, BUT OF THE SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS OPENED AND I'VE HEARD THE THUNK, IT SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE TRUCK IS AT REST AND I HAVE JUST SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO DRIVE, DRIVE TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO DRIVE, ETC. MOST RECENTLY ON 10/26/2020.
