The assist tailgate no longer works. The tailgate is supposed to lower slowly. Now it just slams down. The first time it happened it slammed down on my leg. I have the extended warranty that does cover this,however the repair doesn't last. We've had it to the dealership 3 times and it is still broken. They know what the issue is ,but say they are not authorized to repair the actual issue. Please help.
My truck has large spots of paint chipping off all over the truck. Hood, cab, tailgate and sides. It was garage kept with no exposure to hail or chemicals. The service manage at the dealership admitted it was a defect in the paint but they refused to cover it under warranty.
