My lift gate failed and slammed shut. Now, the lift gate is nearly impossible for me to open and I have to hold the lift gate open myself. Otherwise it slams shut. Luckily when this happened I was not directly underneath the lift gate, I had free hands and reacted quickly enough to catch it. I did have the lift gate supports replaced already on july 1, 2017 as a result of the recall 16v644000, but it appears the replacement parts also had the issue. This is dangerous, and a little over one year is not an appropriate lifetime for these supports given the potential risk. The vehicle was parked.

Driving down the highway and heard a loud boom sound. Next thing I know, pieces of the sunroof start flying off the car. Nothing was around the car and nothing hit the car. The only damage was to the sunroof glass and the glass was bubbled out, not in like you would expect if something hit it.
