1 Hatchback/liftgate Support Device problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2017

The rear air deflector located on the back liftgate flew off while driving down the interstate striking another vehicle. This part of the vehicle is a manufactured part.

2 Hatchback/liftgate Support Device problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2016

The welding on the left strut that holds open the liftgate failed. When the liftgate is opened, it momentarily stayed in the upright position before smashing down hard. The safety feature usually in place where anything in the way causes it to go back up failed as well. First noticed as my 11 year old son was loading things into the back and I heard him scream asking why I closed the trunk on him??? I had to lift it off of him and use a ladder to hold it open. A body shop replaced the struts and welded the new one in place since the welding component that failed was inside the liftgate, so a $2,000+ repair. Welding was accomplished for $500.
