problem #1

May 312007

Monterey 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 38,000 miles
The rear lift gate hydraulic lift support gave out (passenger side) instead of a steady failure, it just gave, and when I opened the door, it slammed back shut from the full open position, almost landing on top of my 4 year old daughter.
