NHTSA Complaint #11670408 — 2025 GMC SIERRA 1500

Tailgate switch Tailgate opened on its own with trailer attached while driving damaging the top of my tailgate. No notification inside cab. No console / fob / tailgate buttons were pushed. Discovered tailgate was down after I arrived home and had done a wide u-turn in my back yard. So far dealership has done very little diagnostic wise. Two trips to dealership so far with little to no results. Now I’m scared to use my trailer or utilize the bed of the truck to haul anything due to tailgate might open on its own at 75 mph on a major interstate/ 2 lane road hurting or killing the people in the vehicles behind me. Totally unacceptable from GMC / dealer for a 70k truck.
