This vehicle was rented by my son-in-law from enterprise leasing company in issaquah, Washington. It was used to carry my 2 daughters and my 2 grandchildren. He noticed that the tailgate would not latch securely. Further investigation showed that the left side tailgate latch had never been installed at the factory. The original paint is unmarred and is present in the bolt holes and threads. One canno help but wonder how many other vehicles left the factory with this major safety defect. I took photos of this defect and have them available for your records, information, and investigation. I would appreciate being contacted and kept up to date on your investigation. Thanks.
