Consumer Description

I have approximately 7K miles on my truck. The problem I am reporting is the omission of a warning light or some other method of warning if the tailgate which is electronically controlled by a button center near the console, central to and just above an area provided for storage of loose personal items, and also activated by a electronic key FOB which I keep in my pocket while driving. I have had at least 8 instances of the gate opening while driving. I expect others have had the same issue. It seems GM could add a dash light or tone if this happens while vehicle is in motion.
