the back gate doesn't stay up. It doesn't always want to open either. I push the button and nothing happens or I push the button and it opens but then the gate slowly lowers back down without being touched. And after it is up the button to close it wont respond so it has to be closed manually which is difficult due to the hydraulics. There is a recall for this issue but it doesn't include my VIN #. I think it may be affecting more than the vehicles already recalled.
