| Description of the problem | No option to disable (only) the hands free lift gate feature. An open lift gate can be triggered by children helping load/unload the rear of the tahoe causing the heavy liftgate to begin to close (or open). All power features of the lift gate may be turned off, but not just the hand-free feature (kicking foot under bumper). Gate has closed 3 times on my wife/children loading/unloading groceries. Vehicle parked, off and key fob in pocket of wife (near the rear of the vehicle). This is dangerous for children especially. |
