2017 Ford F-350 SD electrical system problems

I'm april of 2018 the electric tailgate on my 2017 ford f-350 started opening on its own anytime and anywhere. It did not matter if the truck was in park or in gear but did not open at speeds above 10 MPH or so. After going to the ford dealership in elkhart in. I was told there was nothing that could be done because if they unhooked the wiring l could not open the tailgate. I pull a 5th wheel trailer with the truck so this was not an option if l wanted a tailgate.

The 2017 ford superduty trucks have a remote tailgate release in the lariat and king ranch models. The tailgate of my truck and others have dropped without action from the user. This makes these vehicles unsafe when carrying cargo that is only secured by the tailgate or when towing 5th wheel trailers. Mine has dropped some 16 times since november. Apparently ford dealers are universally blaming the operators for accidentally pushing the tailgate button twice on the fob.
