Mickalo Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 (edited) Hello got a strange problem with our power liftgate. This only happens when parked at our local Walmart. The liftgate opens fine but doesn't want to close with remote button, dash button or button on liftgate. If hit the button a few times it does finally come down. No where else does happen just at the walmart parking lot. Any suggestion what to check. Also there are no obstruction that would cause the liftgate not to close TIA Mike Edited August 18 by Mickalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Your remote or vehicle is getting jammed by a stronger frequency. Hackers can hang around crowded parking lots and scrape the owner's key fob code and spoof it. Once spoofed, they open the door as the alarms are off. Plug in to the OBDII port, and make a new key fob. Start the car and..... Store your key fob in a Faraday shielded fob case. In crowded parking lots, try to not use the fob to remote lock ( hit twice for that good old "it's locked" feeling) the doors, lift the hatch etc. The new breed of car thieves are pretty dang smart!

Mickalo Posted August 18 Author Report Share Posted August 18 Hey thanks appreciate the info. I've also heard some stores security camers can also screw your cars signal too. I'll try your suggestion next time. Thanks Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
