Hi,
It seems to occur at random.
Sometimes when I use my key fob or the button in the trunk to close the power liftgate, it closes right up until the point it's about to lock and then reopens. It seems to be a two step process of first closing, and then within about a second the door gets locked. It's at that point it just opens again.
It's acting like there is an obstruction, despite there not being one at all.
It happens at random. I've tried to see if there is any rhyme or reason but I can't peg down any external factors that are causing it. If I shut it myself (pulling it down and closing it manually) it closes quite happily, and then it locks as I would expect, but no matter how many times I try to close it automatically it just will not work. It seems like some buggy sensor or software, because it works most of the time and there are no obstructions at all.
Is anyone having this trouble?
More often than note it works as expected, but now I constantly have to stand there like an idiot watching it to be sure it closes. It happens just enough to be very annoying!
I have a 2012 Edge SEL, which I love, in case that's necessary to know
