“Right glass lift gate hinge failed and broke away from glass after approximately 50,000 miles. Lift gate was rendered inoperable but stayed shut. At about 60,000 miles the entire lift gate broke away and fell onto the road while driving. A replacement lift gate glass had to be purchased from a junk yard for $500. Installation was performed by myself.”
