2014 Cherokee - liftgate opens randomly

Asked by nelchris May 25, 2015 at 09:24 PM about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

In the past few weeks the liftgate has started opening by itself intermittently.  I switched to the spare key fob to see if that was it.  It did not make a difference. I took it to the dealership but they could not find anything and they sent me home.  In the past couple of days the liftgate opens every time I park the car, even though the keys are in the cup holder and I have not pressed the button to open the liftgate.

It's possible that one of the lift gate buttons on the vehicle is jammed or shorted. The lift gate electronics are disabled when you're not in park, so that could be why it opens when you put it in park.
