What are some of the 2012 Chevy Equinox rear hatch problems?

Some of the 2012 Chevy Equinox rear hatch problems are that the rear hatch won't stay open. Also, the rear hatch will open fully, drop a few inches, then power close. A leaking gas strut in the rear hatch is a common cause of these problems. Some cars will incorporate multiple sets of gas struts into the design of their various hoods, panels, and compartments, but by far the most common usage is in boot-lifting mechanisms. The action on most car-fitted gas struts is subtle enough that many drivers dont realize theyre helping to raise the tailgate, as opposed to just holding it in place once its up. Its easy to tell how much heavy lifting these fixtures do once they start to wear and degrade.
