problem #1

Jun 062005

Equinox 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,500 miles
The liftgate support rod detached while in the up position allowing the liftgate to fall freely on my head and neck. If I was in another position or if I didn't react quickly I might have been seriously injured or killed. It seems the liftgate supports are not strong enough or attached properly. The other support rod didn't have enough strength to hold the door up.
