- '17 Explorer Limited 4WD
I have a 2017 Explorer Limited which I've had for 18 months.
I use the lift gate frequently without issue, but in the last week I've had it happen twice that the lift gate wouldn't close. I tried the button on the lift gate, the button on the dash, and the remote. I tried stopping the engine, restarting the engine, locking and unlocking the doors, and finally just had to push the gate down manually.
I realized a common thread, in both cases I opened the lift gate when the engine was off, then started the engine, then the lift gate would not close.
Is this a known issue?
