Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Tailgate Automatically Closing
Sep 5, 2016
We purchased our 2016 Santa Fe Sport about a year ago and we've always had issues with our automatic tailgate. When we open the tailgate with either the tailgate button itself, the key fob or standing behind the back of the car while it is locked with the 3 beeps; once the tailgate reaches the top, it will start descending back to close right away. It happens more often than it not happening and it's absolutely annoying. I can stop it quickly by hitting the button on the underside of the tailgate and then push it back to the top.

My Power Tailgate opens automatically using the remote or the button next to steering wheel but no longer closes using the remote or that button. It only gives 2 beeps!
Tried toggling the button in the glove box but nothing.

I've looked through all the settings on both the phone and the car and can't seem to find anything. My phone is connected to the Bluetooth system and I am able to use it fine. Only issue I have is that when I get in the car my phone automatically turns to vibrate mode if I get a call or text even though I have it set to "Loud". This is fine for a call because the radio will stop and the ringing notification turns on but not fine for when I am receiving a text. I do not hear the vibration and no sound comes from the car to notify me on an incoming text. Can this be changed to have the phone make normal notification noises even though I am in the car?

I have just purchased a second hand Lexus Rx300. The boot isn't opening or closing automatically. It just beeps twice and makes a noise like it's trying to do something but that's as much as I get ?

Passenger window......When I try to close the window with drivers side switch, the windows hits the top then automatically reverses, and stops halfway. If I close it with the passenger switch, it remains closed.

2007 Santa Fe tailgate will not open. When I use the key fob it goes through the lock and lock motion. When I grab the handel and squeeze the tailfate does not open. I took inside pannel off and checked and nothing seems broken. Also, sprayed wd40 to lube.

Just purchased a 2013 Lexus GS 350 Luxury with 22,000 miles. I took it to Lexus service for a recall and the rear window shade was not closing on one side. Service declined to cover it under warranty because they claim it was broke by a child or person. I purchased the GS 350 at Manheim using me dealer friends incense. The inoperable rear window shade was in the condition report but I never thought Lexus would not repair it under warranty....

I think the door when closed leaves too much space for dirt and mud to accumulate. Especially combined with the fact that the car has no mud guards. Usually wont complain about something like this but this happens just a day or 2 after detailing the car.

I've not long had my 2007 SF but I noticed that the tailgate area is not as quiet as it should be. There is a definite thump over typical poorly repaired roads in the UK, but there is also a rattle. I thought one culprit might have been the spare wheel since there is a spring which allows some movement. My main focus is the tailgate I was wondering if anything can be adjusted to keep it still.

I've just got a new to me 2007 Santa Fe and it's full of electrical gremlins. Today's problem is the idiot light indicating the tailgate is open is always on and the light in the hatch and the alarm randomly come on as well... the neighbours are not impressed. I can't find any pin switch on the hatch and where the switch is located. Is it a magnetic sensor? perhaps on the lock mechanism?
There is so little technical info available for these vehicles. I've always had VWs and the tech support online is insane. Hope i can resolve these problems as it seems like a good vehicle.

I've got a 2005 F250, and I found a good deal on a 2013 tailgate in town. Just wanted to make sure a 2013 tailgate will fit a 2005 before I go through with this.

Today I had to replace spare tire and although i closed well the tailgate, lamp never turned off, as always (amber light on instrument cluster). I had to disconnect battery to avoid draining it. Can it really drain with only inbst cluster turned on permanently. Where is the switch of this light? Could not find it?

I have a new 2013 Prius C2 I bought a couple of weeks ago.
I listen to a lot of am talk and it works fine. Problem is when I start my car it automatically switches over to FM.

Last night while getting the circus out of the car, the door didn't get locked. This morning I went out and found the old iPhone I had in my console was missing - the usb cord was strewn across the drivers seat for good measure. So as I'm here changing passwords to anything that may have been connected to that device - I'm wondering if there's a setting that can automatically lock the doors if I happen to forget...

I have a 2013 Passat SEL Premium TDI with the Climatronic system. I have noticed that the AC light never turns on unless I press the AC button...then it stays on regardless of the temperature until I turn it off. Is this normal operation for the Climatronic? When I think of "set it and forget it," I think of the AC turning on and off automatically depending on the temperature. I drive too much to have the AC on all the time (about 600 miles per week).

My '13 GTI want to automatically turn on the a/c whenever I select fan on the climate controls. Am I missing something here? Can't I just have it in fan mode w/o the a/c coming on?

I have a 2013 Sonata GLS. Something I noticed (for the first time). If I leave the car unlocked and I stand in the proximity of the car, after about a minute or so, the lights will flash and lock the doors automatically (without me pushing the fob button). At first I thought the button was being pressed accidentally, but I proved myself wrong by taking the keys out my pocket and laying them on the garage workbench. Is this normal ?

Assuming the car is locked and the option has been selected, are the driving lights, interior lights, and puddle lights supposed to come on automatically if you approach the car with key in pocket or must you first use fob to unlock the car?

I noticed yesterday that each time I turned the car on it would automatically be set in EcoMode. I thought our cars start in normal mode because of epa mpg testing purposes. I'm not complaining just wondering how this happened on its own since I've read on this site that the GS starts on normal. I have a '15 model.

Every time I start the car and turn on the radio, enforum, etc. the volume is always at 22 which is LOUD. I'd rather have it start where I was before or set it 8 or 9. I've gone through the settings and looked through the manual, but don't see a way to set the volume.
