“I opened my tailgage today, 12/13/09, to put some items into my trunk. I leaned in to get them situated & secure when suddenly the liftgate slammed down on my lower back, trapping me against the inside of my trunk. I was unable to lift the gate and had to slither out onto the ground, at which point the liftgate completely closed. I reopened the liftgate, unsure of what had happened, and woosh! It slammed shut again. The liftgate will not stay up, and clearly the sensors that are supposed to detect objects impeding it's closure are not working. …”
