power tailgate would not close when the button is pressed

[JAH1]

SA when I first got there: "hmmmm, NEVER see these things fail? Very odd? May be covered under cpo....but sign here anyway, that you acknowledge the $130 diagnostic fee if it's not"

me: "sweet"

Fast forward 6 hours, SA: "yep, you were right, the right spindle drive failed, replaced under cpo"

I guess I'm happy as it would have been $600 out of warranty. Did not look like complicated fix but I would have never been able to diagnose myself.

Man, I do love this beast (2008 4.8) but the once a month visits to dealer (last one was on a flatbed) make me scared for cpo expiration!
