Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My rear gate was extremely hard to open & close. Brought to dealership & they advised that the hinges needed lubricating. The sprayed a yellow foam on the hinges. In the week that followed, I noticed that opening that rear gate became very easy, so much so that the rear gate falls out of place. In order to close the gate I need to lift up with all of my might & shove it closed. Looking closer at the hinges, they appear to be snapped. …”
