Narrative

The Gesture Liftgate feature that is equipped will both open and close eratically while vehicle is in park and there is movement around the side and rear of the vehicle and there is no way to disable. This has resulted in: the liftgate opening when my daughter has walked behind the vehicle, almost striking her head; the liftgate closing numerous times on me, my wife, my daughter doing things like removing groceries from the vehicle or sitting in the back putting shoes on - several head strikes have resulted from the unintended closing; and the liftgate opening when parked in the garage while the garage is closed resulting in the liftgate being pinned into the garage causing damage to the garage and the liftgate.
