The rear strut that holds up the tailgate exploded as the tailgate was closed at the grocery store. It sent a metal piece shooting through the air, striking me in the head, then cotinuing on and breaking the front windshield in 3 places before finally stopping. I was sent to the dodtor with a concussion, and blurred vision. I later had to return to the eye doctor because of the blurred vision. The vision and the headaches have since cleared up. I was very lucky I didn't lose an eye or someone wasn't killed. The piece of metal is about 12 inches long, and it struck me in my temple area.
