Consumer Description
Rear lift gate misaligned and having issue closing the trunk after 2 years of owning. Im concern since I have to push down on the trunk to latch, that it may unlatch while driving and lift gate will open. If the trunk doesnt latch, vehicle will not shift to drive. I took the vehicle to a Tesla service center where they told me that my left hinge of the liftgate needs to be replace and to take it to a body shop. How can a metal hinge be a problem on a 2 years vehicle. I believe that the material are poorly made if this happens in just 2 year old vehicle, I wonder if this vehicle can hold for another 3.
