ONE OF THE TWO LIFTTGATE SUPPORT STRUT ANCHORS SHEARDED OFF CAUSING THE LIFTGATE TO FALL, COMPONENTS NOT REPAIRED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN.

WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES, HATCH SUDDENLY SLAMMED SHUT DUE TO FAILURE (SHEAR) OF HATCHES RIGHT STRUT BODY ANCHOR. MY HEAD WAS GRAZED, BUT AM OK. PLASTIC TRIM BY ANCHOR DAMAGED. DOOR IS EXTREMELY HEAVY, AND WILL NOT OPEN WITHOUT STRUT ASSIST. A FAILURE OF THIS NATURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - WHAT IF THE DOOR (500LBS + ENERTIA) FELL ON US OR THE KIDS WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES, OR SITTING ON GATE FOR TAILGATE PARTY/DRIVE-IN? FALLING WITH THE SPEED AND FORCE IT DID WOULD ACT LIKE A LEG/NECK/BONE CRUSHING GUILLOTINE. IT IS LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT SOMEDAY, SOME ONE WILL IF THIS WEAK DESIGN IS NOT CORRECTED. I SAY IT IS WEAK BECAUSE ANCHOR DIAMETER APPEARS TO BE 1/4" WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. 3/8" WOULD BE MINIMUM DIAMETER FOR PROPER DESIGN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. SIGNED - BRIAN D.
