WHEN USING OVERHEAD CONSOLE BUTTON OR KEY FOB TO OPEN THE REAR LIFT GATE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, ENGINE RUNNING OR NOT - NO DIFFERENCE- THE AUTOMATIC GATE WILL OPEN FULLY AND THEN CLOSE IMMEDIATELY ON ANYONE STANDING UNDER IT TRYING TO ACCESS THE CARGO AREA. WHEN OPENING THE LIFT GATE MANUALLY IT WILL OPEN FULLY BUT WILL NOT REMAIN OPEN WITHOUT SOMEONE HOLDING IT OPEN OR PUTTING SOME TYPE OF BLOCK IN THE MECHANISM. THE LIFT GATE MALFUNCTION IS QUITE HAZARDOUS AS IT WILL COME DOWN ON TOP OF A PERSON AND WILL NOT STOP IF ANYTHING IS IN THE WAY, SUCH AS AN APPENDAGE OR A CHILD.
