Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We were walking up to our vehicle and used the keychain remote to open the rear liftgate. It went all the way open and my wife walked underneath it to put some things in the car. After it went all the way open, it stayed there for a couple of seconds and then all of a sudden came down hard and slammed my wife in the head. She sustained a sore neck and a headache that has since gotten worse. I tried operating the liftgate again while we were clear and it did the same thing. …”

Chrysler will not cover this vehicle claiming the VIN # is not included. The problem and safety concerns are the same and the recall should be extended to cover all affected vehicles.”
