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.
