Back in January 2017 I took my car in to have the power liftgate recall work done at my dealer. On 3/1/17 in the evening, while loading groceries in the back of my car the power liftgate fell full-force right onto my head and pushed down onto my neck (and it is a very heavy liftgate!). thankfully I did not pass out. I immediately called my service guy to let him know what had happened. I also brought the car in to the dealer the very next day. After not feeling well the night before, I went urgent care, who in turn sent me to the er for a ct scan of my head. I suffered a concussion. I do not believe that the problem with the liftgate has been solved and think it is a very dangerous situation since there was no indication or signs of a failure. I contacted GM who has opened a case and said they will be contacting me. Quite frankly I want to get rid of the car because of this situation. I think all Acadia owners should be aware of how serious in fact this issues is. I was totally unaware until I read articles and other materials on the web. I am in the process of gathering all of my paperwork to be scanned and will be filing a lawsuit if GM cannot resolve the issue with me. I will be happy to forward to you any documentation you desire.
