Today, the rear liftgate suddenly decided not to stay up anymore. If I hit the "lift" button on the remote, the gate goes up no problem, but when it reaches the top of the "arc" it starts right back down. Manual operation allows me to open the gate but it seems like the hydraulic pistons have suddenly lost the ability to hold it up. When I let it go it slams down hard as if having no support at all.
Is it common for those supports to go out suddenly like that? My MDX has relatively low miles (36.5k) for a 5 year old car and I'm disappointed the shocks have given out after so few cycles. If that's what the problem is. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem so soon?
