It still closes but its got a kink in it. Also noted, if you remove tailgate and do not put the chrysler plug into where the camera goes, your speed and acceleration are limited...... As soon as I reinstalled the tailgate I could go above 50 again.... Go figure....
Is your truck part of the tailgate recall? Mine is, not sure how far back the recall goes, but sounds like you have the bad latch.
