Altazi Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Greetings fellow C-Maxers, The other day, I took my C-Max over a particularly nasty speedbump in a parking lot. When the rear wheel cleared the bump, I heard the liftgate latch motor (or whatever secures the hatch after it closes) make its little "gear-cycle" sound. Everything continued from then in normal fashion. . . Days later, after numerous normal operations of the liftgate, I waved my foot under the bumper to open the liftgate; it made the little latch gear cycling noise, and then nothing happened. I waved my foot again, and the gate opened normally. Do I need to worry about this? Have any of you out there experienced similar issues with your power liftgate when your rear suspension makes an abrupt transition (speedbumps, potholes, etc.)? Do I need to get something checked? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I would be very surprised if an automatic door opener would work while the car is moving... I'm new to these technological marvels, but this just seems like something a lawyer would insure. HAve fun,Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkraider Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Our latch broke completely. I would take it in and get it checked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
