Why is the tailgate not latching on my Jeep?
Went to close it and nothing…tried it from the overhead button, rear button and key fob. Nothing. So I “closed” it manually and it will not latch/secure the tailgate. Tried to put it in reverse, then drive, then park and open/close…and it just stays open! :slapfight: Thoughts?

Why is the liftgate on my Jeep not closing?
Stop it from lowering so you can keep it open and at least use it at that less than fully open position and it will switch off and go into manual only mode. It won’t shut by any of the electrical options and you will have to manually shut it then also. All fixed from the dealer…contact issue.
Why is the latch on the rear door stuck?
The rear door latches often get stuck because they simply aren’t used as frequently as the front doors. One thing that happens is the door handle button will feel like it isn’t doing any “work”, and/or the door lock slider on the inside will be jammed in between the lock and unlock positions.
Is there a way to close the lift gate?
That will at least close it so the interior lights do not stay on and the dash display telling you it is open. Yeah, the gate can also be operated manually and when closing manually it won’t electrically suck itself shut the rest of the way.

Why does the back hatch on my Jeep Cherokee not stay open?
The back hatch doesn’t stay up when cold so I have hit my head several times. The front and passenger door won’t stay open when pins or mech that holds door open goes out so have been hit by door, or swings too far and has damaged outside front wheel panel.
