Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Within a period of three days both lift cylinders failed on my Astro van. I first noticed the tailgate was hard to lift and did not stay up very securely. Then three days later I tried to open the hatch but noticed it was very heavy and would not stay up at all. The only way I could use the rear doors was to prop it up with a stick. This created a very dangerous situation as the hatch door is very heavy and could close very violently if the stick were to be bumped. I called the dealership to see if there might be a trend with this problem, they said not to their knowledge. …”
