Lift gate stops at upper lift position and starts to close with out notice. If your not paying attention to full operation of lift gate can come down stricking a persons head. Seems that automation safey feature would be to stay open !!! Not close unexspectedly??
My 2008 buick enclave leaks and now has a mold smell inside of the vehicle. Also, the blower motor has failed twice and the car overheats without any warning. I have taken the car to the dealer and the problem continues to happen.
