The rear hatch opened on it's own. This most recent time my husband did not notice that it had happened & entered our garage with it up, breaking the window & wiper unit. As we thought back, I had one time within the past 3 mo. When I was driving & discovered it was up. Also, each of us had one time when we came out of a store & found it up, even though we always lock the vehicle. We each dismissed these earlier incidents thinking we must have done something wrong. We are having the dealership that repaired the damage check to see if they can find some defect that would cause this problem.
