The tailgate on my 2016 Forester is so low when opened that I hit my head on it every time I reach into the car. I am 6 feet tall. Other people have the same experience with my tailgate. I had an earlier model Forester where this was not an issue. The Subaru dealers I complained to said that the hinges were designed so that a longer shock absorber or other after-market fix was not available and the problem could not be fixed until the model design was changed. This is dangerous!!.
