IN FEBRUARY I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK XE. WITHIN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC DOOR MECHANISM ON THE LIFTGATE. WHENEVER I OPENED A DOOR THE LIFTGATE MECHANISM WOULD UNLOCK BY ITSELF. THIS WILL OCCUR EVEN WITH VIBRATION FROM SOMEONE WALKING BY THE VEHICLE.
