NHTSA complaint: 2008 SATURN VUE — UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2008 SATURN VUE, LIFTGATE GAS STRUTS THAT HOLD THE LIFTGATE UP WHEN OPEN. THESE STRUTS FAILED AND THE OPEN LIFTGATE SUDDENLY FALLED AND UNEXPECTEDLY IT STRIKES ME ON HEAD. CAR WAS PARKED IN LEVEL DRIVEWAY AND I JUST OPEN IT UP - 7 SECONDS LATER IT CRUSHED MY HEAD. VERY UNSTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO CLOSE WITHOUT GAS STRUTS IT'S TOO HEAVY AND SLAMS CLOSED.
