#1 of 19 Veracruz Limited Power Tailgate by ajm25 Dec 02, 2007 (11:12 am)
The subcontrol button on the base of the tailgate itself does not seem to be functioning, it just beeps when you press it. There is no problem with power operation from the key fob and driver's seat however. Does anyone have any ideas?   Thanks Replies to this message: mdhutton (Dec 02, 2007 6:29 pm) bigal70 (Dec 03, 2007 3:46 am)

Replying to: ajm25 (Dec 02, 2007 11:12 am) Is the power button located to the left of the glove box (when opened) turned on? If it is turned off, the power tailgate can't be controlled with the tailgate button or handle button. It can, however, be controlled with the keyfob or the main control button on the instrument panel.

We have a 2007 Hyundai Veracruz Limited SE and really like it.   Two weeks ago the power rear tailgate ceased to function. Tried the fob, dash button and outside the hatch itself. Took it to the dealer a week ago and after hours of diagnosing, they decided to order a module and replace it. We picked up the car yesterday we tested the tailgate and it worked so off we went. My wife ran a few errands and then went to pick up the kids and....... the rear tailgate will not open. >< So now we're back trying to have the dealer tell us what the heck is going on. Anyone else run into this? Replies to this message: rick2456 (Mar 19, 2009 4:41 am) larrymcj (Mar 19, 2009 4:51 am)
#5 of 19 Veracruz Limited Tailgate-- Opens accidentally by brennerb Mar 04, 2008 (6:15 am)
I picked up my Veracruz on Friday and read in another forum (and it happened to me yesterday) that the tailgate opens non-intentionally if the key fob is in your pocket and it brushes against something or you simply sit down, causing the fob to come in contact with your pants pocket or thigh. Has anyone else experienced this?

Replying to: brennerb (Mar 04, 2008 6:15 am) It's probably like the button on the remote for our Odyssey for the power doors. You have to hold the button down for 1-2 seconds to have it react. Sometimes I do activate the doors if I put the remote in my pocket and bend over to tie my shoes or sit down.   See how long you need to hold it for it to start working.

Replying to: brennerb (Mar 04, 2008 6:15 am) I read your post and was worried it might happen to me, but we love the veracruz and bought one last monday. I sat down to eat dinner a a restaurant across the street from the dealership and BEEP BEEP BEEP the tailgate started going up! I had indeed pushed the button in my pocket when I sat down! I immediately put it on a ring of its own and now treat it with respect. Have not had a problem since. Thanks for the warning, your post kept me looking for this problem and it certainly helped.

Replying to: brennerb (Mar 04, 2008 6:15 am) Yep, me too. Thought it might be from a remote control or other RF source. But I put my keys on a table when I don't need them and the problem stopped. Must be a very sensitive fob button. Replies to this message: oscar_gata (Mar 28, 2008 8:00 am)

Replying to: pthurston (Mar 27, 2008 7:31 pm) Maybe your pants are too tight.

Replying to: brennerb (Mar 04, 2008 6:15 am) Yep. It's happened to me several times. Even left it open overnight without knowing it. I'm much more careful now.
