Grand Cherokee L

  • miles
Rear liftgate will not open, attempts about 1/4" of movement then back in to lock and gives an object detected alert on driver's instrument cluster when nothing is behind vehicle. After multiple attempts to open the "Lift Gate Temporarily unavailable" alert presents on driver's cluster. This occurs from inner switch or trying to open from the lever and the key fob next to license plate. Cleaning cameras and bumper sensors seems to work once but the issue reoccurs immediately or after few cycles of door. Power cycling via pulling fuse for liftgate and disconnecting the bumper sensors does not change anything it still will not open and displays object detected alert. Took to dealer verified issue and lubed and adjusted lock, tested ten times and door opened. one day later wife trying to open liftgate would not open. this morning tried and did first couple time then didn't wipe one sensor, and it opened tried again would not open, wiped all sensors and cameras would not open. took to dealership, service advisor attempted would not open issue verified. this issue is intermittent as brought home tried when got out of car would not so approx. 20 mins after dealership visit. Then I typed this form up and went back out and attempted and it opened multiple times. I am concerned not being able to access my fire extinguisher or first aid kit rapidly if need be.
