The rear hatch will open when I press the button, but it beeps twice when I try to close it and won’t close. If I manually close it, it latches shut, then one second later automatically unlatches. The car is essentially undrivable because it beeps constantly and displays a warning that the rear hatch is ajar. Also, the interior lights won’t turn off when the car is off because it thinks a door is open, so my battery is going to die eventually. I’ve toggled every setting related to the rear door to no avail.
Any ideas?
Sure bud
I literally work at a Toyota dealer, not how it works. The car has to be diagnosed with failed repairs multiple times before lemon cases apply. Varies by state, but generally it must be at minimum three times. The only exception is if it’s something where the OEM just accepts that something is a serious problem that cannot be rectified, but that almost never happens.
The OP probably just has a shitty tow hitch that’s causing the power door kick sensor to activate. You can’t lemon law a car for that.
Thats cool bro. But you call a manufacturer and say the word lemon, by law they have to escalate it.
Not how that works.
