Lexus LX · 2022–2025
Owners have reported intermittent operation of the LX split rear hatch/power tailgate system, including failure to open, failure to cinch closed, or warning messages indicating the rear door is open when it appears latched. On a vehicle with a complex powered rear closure system, faults can stem from latch alignment, pinch sensors, control modules, or weak power strut behavior. The issue is inconvenient and can create security or battery-drain concerns if the vehicle thinks the hatch remains ajar.
Common Symptoms
- Power tailgate will not open
- Tailgate starts to close then reverses
- Rear door open warning stays on
- Soft-close/cinch function fails
- Intermittent beeping from hatch area
How to Fix
Inspect for stored body or back-door control codes, verify latch alignment, and test the power back-door motor/strut operation and anti-pinch sensors. Dealers may update control software, adjust the latch/striker, or replace the latch assembly or powered support components. If the hatch is intermittently reported open, check for water intrusion or connector issues in the rear door area.
Owner tips & cautions
- TipOwners suggest cleaning and lightly lubricating the latch/striker area before assuming the power struts are bad.
