Tailgate stuck

[Prashney]

Just got the evsuv last week. Tailgate seems to be stuck. I have to manually pull by an inch to get it out of jam, and then it works. Dealer said others have seen it too. He is calling me back in for an adjustment.

Just got the evsuv last week. Tailgate seems to be stuck. I have to manually pull by an inch to get it out of jam, and then it works. Dealer said others have seen it too. He is calling me back in for an adjustment.

This seems to be a common issue. Our SUV's rear gate would not open with any of the buttons. But 1 visit to the dealership sorted it out, and we haven't had any more issues. Our dealer readjusted the latch and applied new lubricant.

Tip: if the gate is completely stuck closed, you can press the button and then yank on the spare wheel to easily open it up without damaging the body.
