2 Tailgate Latch problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2004

I have a 2004 Nissan Titan crew cab 4x4 truck and I have had problems with the tailgate of the truck bed. It is very heavy and my wife has dropped it on herself several times. I have even dropped it myself. I believe Nissan knows about this problem because they fixed it on the 2005 model. I believe there is a serious safety problem in the 2004 model and I believe that this needs to be fixed!.
