1 Hatchback/liftgate Support Device problem

Failure Date: 03/19/2021

I was retrieving something out of the truck and the liftgate fell on me. I never felt such excruciating pain. I had to lift the liftgate off of me. There was no warning or anything that gave me the indication the liftgate was malfunctioning. When I opened the trunk of the SUV there was no indication something let this would happen because it opened just fine. This liftgate hit me so hard that it caused major bruises on my back and hips. I hurt my shoulder because I had to lift the liftgate off of me. To say the least I ended up in the emergency room. Me and my husband started seeing is this an ongoing issue with the liftgates and it is. So many complaints, yet no recalls. What does it take? someone to be killed by this? so many people are being hurt, but gm does not recall this? so sad. Its time gm put people over profits!!! this should have never happened!!!.
