## Narrative
The tail gate automatically closes on us due to failed strut to support it.   This is a repeatable process. When open the tail gate, it will closes automatically - very dangerous when the user (me) is trying to put stuffs in or out of the trunk.  It closes on my head a few times. Went to dealership, they  said this is a common issue where the strut holding up the tailgate failed and had to be replaced.  It is currently not under recall, so I must pay fully for it to be safe.
