Left liftgate hinge bent.

When the liftgate is opened, jamming of the liftgate lock (caused by faulty actuation from the rear SAM) can bend the left liftgate hinge, actuating the drive of the automatic liftgate at the same time.

Remedy:

1. Replace left hinge and adjust liftgate.

2. Replace Rear SAM.
