“The tailgate opened by itself while I was driving on the highway. I had a short local driving before entering the highway. About 5 mins in the highway at around 60 MPH, the tailgate opened by itself. The car felt very noisy and hard to control (I was on a windy highway). I had to exist the highway, stop on a local street, and close the trunk. The same random opening also happened once in my garage while the car was parked and locked, a week ago. With two random opening happened in one week, I am afraid of driving it. You never know when the tailgate will suddenly open again.”
