Just a bit of curiosity as I don't know if its just me or consistent through out all owners here. I noticed the rear tailgate struggles and slow to open initially from the closed position until its lifted maybe one third of the way. From that point on, all seems normal. Is the motor going bad?

someone mentioned that issue is a piece of trim plastic somewhere getting caught during opening and should be an easy fix.
