Tailgate continues to open on its own primarily while driving on unmaintained dirt roads. Recently this happened while out hunting and had some cargo fall out of my truck. Fortunately, another hunter saw what happened, grabbed our gear and caught up to us to return it.

Had recall perform for tailgate opening unexpectedly on march 3, 2020. In december 2020, the tailgate opened multiple times while driving on the highway and while reversing to attach a trailer causing damage to the tailgate. We contacted kendal ford in meridian id to get this problem resolved and they said ford would not cover it since the recall was performed and is now closed. They want in excess of $1500.00 to fix the problem that should have been fixed with the recall. Ford will not budge in covering this issue which was part of the original recall. Obviously the recall for the tailgate did not work. Please can you have another recall issued for this tailgate issue. It is extremely dangerous to have items in the bed of our truck and not knowing when the tailgate will open and contents fall out causing an accident.

The power tailgate will release while in motion. I had the ford recall completed once, I believe around september of 2020. I just had the truck back to the dealer because the power tailgate fix does not appear to correct the issue. They just removed the original recalled parts and did the recall again on my truck. This current work was completed on 1/20/21. Please force ford to do a reprogram of the body control module to include notification when the tailgate is open in the display in the dash. I will have to wait and see if the reinstallation of the recall will correct the issue, my thoughts are not.
