| Description of the problem | 2008 hyundai veracruz limited. Just picked it up on friday. Prior to my purchase i read in an on-line hyundai forum that the proximity key fob that is used to arm/disarm the vehicle, lock/unlock all doors, and open/close the liftgate has an issue that causes the liftgate to open by itself even tough the doors are locked. I went outside today to find my liftgate open . The key fob was in my pants pocket. I would like hyundai to investigate a re-design. |
