"lift gate motor failed. trying to operate the lift gate caused a vampire drain that killed the battery 3X. Took 4 hours in the shop the first time. They re-flashed the gate controller. It helped for a week or two. Then back to battery drain and lift gate not opening. Back to the shop, they decided to replace the motor. When they went to pick it up at the parts counter, there were several others lined up for pickup as well. FoMoCo has a parts problem, and they havent addressed it.
