Picked up my GTS on Saturday morning. I love this beast other than the fact that the power tailgate doesnt want to open. Anyone else have issues with the power tailgate?

I wish everything in life had a "Sport" button.

I haven't had issues with mine. Sometimes if I have been driving and then I open the driver's door and get out, the tailgate won't open. You have to make sure you unlock the doors. I assume you've tried that...

Yep, tried everything Dennis. The tailgate unlatches but wont lift on its own. The Owners manual isnt overly helpful either. Stopped by the dealer this afternoon and they couldnt figure it out. Booked in for Wednesday. At least they can get me in quick.

Door latches that have a mind of their own. O, the memories.

...and I thought it was just me. Picking up / dropping off people at the airport used to be sooo boring.....

gotta say the power tailgate drives me CRAzy–dogs go in and out the side doors now. didn't have one on my 06 liked it much better (no issues yet tho)

if you are trying to open it from the inside car has to be running and you have to hold it to the height you want.

Have you figured out how to permanently disable the interior motion sensor? Taking my German Shepherd to Home Depot the other day was a real challenge, I could not disable that sensor. Wound up just leaving the Pepper unlocked. Poor dog, she was a lot calmer about the alarm going off than I expected her to be.

Yes, I've read the manual, the only way it could be more confusing is if it was written in Chinese.

Know whatcha mean...I haven't locked it once yet. Been meaning to spend some time w/ the manual. Until then i tell myself 2 slobbering bernese mountain dogs and one golden retriever will keep the bad people out.

If it's like my 997 - you have to hit the lock button on the Key Fob 3 times in quick succession. E.g., Lock, Unlock, Lock. That disables the interior motion sensor. Had the same problem with my 997 - dog was pretty upset with me for leaving her in there with the alarm blaring....

On the Pepper there is a button down the lower "B" pillar (1 of 2 buttons down there) that's supposed to disable the interior sensor but I couldn't get it to work.

Fortunately for my dog's trip to H-D, I parked out far from the front doors and she tripped the alarm before I got inside the store so was able to go back and shut the system off. Tried again, same result. 3rd time I just left the Pepper unlocked.

Now if I had made it inside the store and she had to stay out in the vehicle the entire time while the alarm was going off she most likely would have jumped out of the Pepper and followed me inside the store. (None of my dogs have ever gotten out of the car without being told to)

You can take your dogs inside H-D or Lowes on a leash or in a basket or cart, so that somewhat solves your problem with the alarm.

One of the reasons that I regretted selling my 92 turbo was that the dog could remain locked inside with windows down for short stops, and not set off the alarm.

Can't you disable the interior motion sensor through the menu in the instrument cluster? I haven't tried it... but I thought I recalled seeing an option in there...
