Consumer Description

THE TAILGATE AUTOMATICALLY STARTS CLOSING ON ME WHEN I AM LOADING OR UNLOADING. IT STARTS BEEPING SO I AT LEAST GET A WARNING BUT I HAVE TO PUT MY HAND UP AND STOP IT FROM CRASHING ON MY HEAD. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS SINCE THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOTE MY FEET ARE NOT GOING UNDER THE BUMPER (AND THAT FEATURE DOES NOT WORK ON THIS CAR EVER ANYWAY). THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF. HOWEVER ONE TIME THE TRUNK OPENED ON ME WHEN I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT AND HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR TO GO SHUT IT. NOT CONVENIENT.
