NHTSA Complaint #11707321 — 2025 VOLVO XC60

On December 28 the tailgate on my Volvo 2025 xc60 PHEV began to open and close randomly while it was not running, parked in my garage and and plugged in. I unplugged the car from the charger, firmly closed the tailgate and went back in side my house. I checked on the car several minutes later to find the tail gate open again. I again firmly closed the tail gate and this time ensured that I locked the car with the button on the key fob. 10 minutes later the tailgate was open again, while the car was parked, turned off and not plugged in. After closing the tailgate again, I now locked the car via the app. When I checked again in 15 minutes the car was unlocked, but the tailgate was still closed. All of these incidents happened between 8 am and 9:45am. I was able to take video and still pictures of the incidents. Several weeks ago, I was driving and noticed that my tailgate was open. I had recently left a shopping center so I figured I had some how not closed the tailgate properly. This would be the first time I ever made such a mistake. I pulled over, closed the tailgate and continued on. I now wonder if this was a similar problem. Safety risks include injury to people from the tailgate itself and risk of loss and damage to items in the vehicle and the vehicle itself. This is an additional incident of a previously reported issue with the electrical system of this vehicle.
