| Consequences |
If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. |

6/8/2013 - Misty
I just bought a 2009 Traverse. I've had my issue with it. Its been in the shop 4 times in 2 months and getting ready to go back again. My dash lights keep going out and the passenger window at times won't go down. I had it in the shop for this problem. they said it should be fixed now. The dash light have gone out twice since it was in and the window got stuck three times. I've called and they told me to bring it in but by the time I get there everything is working. I have small kids and would hate for my car to catch fire or something with my family in it. I'm taken it in again Monday. Advice is needed... Thanks
