Replying to: brennerb (Mar 04, 2008 6:15 am) Yes - my Veracruz Limited tailgate has opened several times but it is always associated with the key fob being in my pocket and apparently accidentally depressing the tailgate button. My short term solution is to put the key fob in a plastic Eclipse 24 piece gum case - it fits perfectly. The long term solution is for Hyundai to program the tailgate logic so that it does not open unless the key fob button is depressed continuously for 2-3 seconds. This is the approach Honda and others have taken and it works well. Everyone should talk to the dealer service managers and suggest this solution.
#12 of 19 liftgate opening by kdmsm Mar 30, 2008 (11:01 am)
The same thing has happened to me. I thought it was malfunctioning. I have went into a doctors appt, and came out and was parked under a garage and my hatch was open. I was in the office for about 1 1/2 hours. I was also in a supermarket. The same thing happen. I took the car in for service to Hyundai the guy asked me if I made a mistake and pressed the remote. until reading all these problems I now know that is what I did and perhaps it is not a malfunction It really annoys me I am afraid that I will be parked somewhere and some one will steal what i have in my car. I love the Veracruz but if I had to second guess on getting another. I would not because of this. They need to do something about this. Replies to this message: gingrasr (May 02, 2008 9:05 am)

Replying to: kdmsm (Mar 30, 2008 11:01 am) Yes, we have had our Veracruz for almost a year and the hatch has opened at least 10 times. If we do touch the button, it is far too slight a "touch" to have the hatch open. Normally it needs to be depressed at least a couple of seconds as it should be.   This is a malfunction and I believe it should be recalled to properly repair. Other wise we love the Veracruz.

I have a suspicion, and boy, do I hope I'm wrong. My hatch has opened several times so I glued some very small pieces of plastic around the button ( so as to make the button be slightly recessed). It opened again while I was sitting "still" at the dinner table. I wasn't leaning over tie-ing my shoes or any bending whatsoever. Annnnnd also the button has to be held for about 2 seconds so it wasn't just a "brush by" touch. Still it opened.   Could it be????????????..(what are your thoughts people)......that some neighbor opening his electronic garage door or some other electronic device that has the same frequency is triggering the opening. If so.........wow, this is a real problem.   I tried taking out the 30a fuse in the engine compartment ( so I wouldn't have to "worry" that I'd come out and all my stuff would be stolen), but with that I was unable to even open the hatch manually as the release button on the back of the car to manually open the hatch has some electrical relay which won't work if the fuse is out............Your thoughts people Replies to this message: tidester (May 20, 2008 4:34 pm)

Replying to: simagic (May 20, 2008 3:21 pm) It's not very likely since modern remotes work with a HUGE number of possible codes and I suspect Hyundai uses the modern systems. On very old systems, people could "grab" the codes simply because there were far fewer codes. Excuse the pun, but the possibility is remote!   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: oldgriff (Jan 30, 2008 7:31 am) I don't have a powe liftgate and unless one is disabled, I can't imagine why anyone would want this option. Seems to me, just another thing to wear out/break down. And from what I hear, it is very, very slow. Good luck. Replies to this message: larrymcj (Mar 19, 2009 4:51 am)

Replying to: rick2456 (Mar 19, 2009 4:41 am) rick2456: There are appx 37,500 items on your Veracruz...and you're worried about "one more" to break? Regarding the utility of a power lift tailgate:   1. Approaching the car with an armful of groceries or packages, or golf clubs. 2. Getting out of the car, needing to get something out of the back (saves time) 3. Just wanting a bit of luxury   Have I ever inadvertently hit the OPEN key when the garage door was shut...you bet. But when I first got the Veracruz I put heavy rubber padding at the place where the tailgate would hit the door. Result...no damage at all.
