Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Tail gate falls off when opening. The removable tailgate is both light enough and does not have a catch on the hinge to prevent the gate from falling out when lifting up on the tailgate latch with one hand. This can also happen if there is any snow on the back bumper. This is both a safety concern, as I had the gate fall off with a load of wood in my hands causing me to drop everything, and it damages the vehicle as the tailgate right rear corner gets caught in the body mounted hinge. The result of this is the right rear corner of the tailgate is bent ~90. …”
