    Ford Can't Fix My Broken Trunk Liftgate - "It's a Feature, not a Bug"

    I was pleased to find this behavior was changed by a recent liftgate software update! It came a few months ago OTA, and I think it mentioned something about liftgate safety (I expected it to beep when closing or something). But now just one push on the exterior liftgate button opens it fully...

    Ford Can't Fix My Broken Trunk Liftgate - "It's a Feature, not a Bug"

    Reading the thread about installing a liftgate button led me to why I saw inconsistent behavior when I tried to unlock the car before opening the liftgate. I had the option to only unlock driver's door selected (a security feature I think is useful for my wife). So unlocking the car with a...

    Ford Can't Fix My Broken Trunk Liftgate - "It's a Feature, not a Bug"

    I have noted one more thing about the partial open. If I unlock a door with one of the buttons on it (say, as I am rolling back the cover), the liftgate button then opens the liftgate all the way. If I unlock the car with the fob or phone, then it partially opens.

    Ford Can't Fix My Broken Trunk Liftgate - "It's a Feature, not a Bug"

    Yeah, it used to fully open most of the times when the car was unlocked. But today I explicitly unlocked it and it then partially opened on first press. My guess is it's a defective liftgate button module, not properly sending a signal to open the liftgate. But I am not a Ford mechanic. :)

    Ford Can't Fix My Broken Trunk Liftgate - "It's a Feature, not a Bug"

    I tried and a quick press of the liftgate button didn't make any difference on my '23. I always get a partial open, even when when the car's unlocked. But the key fob button always opens it fully. Come to think of it, maybe someone at Ford always wants us to press twice. That's how the fob...

    Ford Can't Fix My Broken Trunk Liftgate - "It's a Feature, not a Bug"

    I have the same problem with my 2023 Premium, and have just gotten in the habit of pressing the button twice. I'll have to try the quick press. The liftgate is the *only* thing that annoys me about my car. This exterior button behavior, plus the interior button buried under settings and often...

    Power liftgate doesn't work when vehicle is locked

    Same problem with my 2023. Pressing a second time works, but toggling the setting doesn't seem to help. Thanks for the tip!
