Hatchback/liftgate Support Device Problems of Dodge Durango

While parked in our driveway with the vehicle off, my wife opened the rear liftgate using the exterior latch handle. The liftgate raised to the open position automatically, but then slammed shut without warning. When the pneumatic strut that holds the liftgate open failed, the entire weight of the liftgate landed on my wife's head, who was reaching into the trunk to remove its contents.

2016 Durango liftgate has water damage on the left side within 2 years of it being purchased brand new. I called Dodge and they advised me that the car was out of warranty, by less than 500 miles. I recently purchased a 2019 Durango liftgate from ebay because mopar has a nationwide shortage on this item and within 60 days it happened again but this time on the right side. Mopar is manufacturing this liftgate to gain profit, because they know that this will continue to happen. They are not help to customer who are a victim of their defective product.
