US 08 + models all have Power assist closing fiture.
I beleave Canadian versions didnot come with it.
my 08 at 1 point stopped working.
I had 2 ways of closing it:
1- close it slowely and there will be a gap since the power assist wouldnot close it tight
2- Slam it hard, only way to close it all the way.
went to the stealership...
dealer mechanics where arguing with me trying to tell me that that fiture doesnot exist. Even do i was teling them ( dont tell me something doesnot exist when my vehicle has it and it stoped working..)
They where showing me on newer exteras models how there is a power assist opening mechanism not closing mechanism, they told me there is no motor instaled to do such thing.
until I came back and removed little plastic cover next to the bottom door latch where you can see the assist motor, and showed them in their 08 manual the section same as the section listed in few earlier posts.
SO after i came to pick it up they told me that they took a look at it and it was working fine??? after not working for few months, it was working fine all of a suden..
Yeah right. they fixed it since they where wrong all along, they didnot dare say it.
