Certain issues with the 2012 Chevy Equinox rear hatch include difficulty keeping it open and instances where it opens fully before dropping a few inches and automatically closing. A leaking gas strut in the rear hatch often causes these problems. While some vehicles may have multiple sets of gas struts for different parts, the most common application is in lifting the boot. The subtle action of most car-fitted gas struts often goes unnoticed by drivers, who may not realize they are assisting in raising the tailgate rather than just keeping it in place. The wear and degradation of these fixtures become apparent as they struggle to lift heavier loads.
