kluger rear glass door issue

[simonjnunn]

hi i have 2008 kluger kxr base model when i start the car the glass door latch unlocks wondering what causes this best way to fix

[trentmeyer23]

Unlocks or locks? If it locks, it may be a feature that Toyota can fix with their scan tool.

unlocks pops open

Pops open?

Gee wiz, I think that's quite an issue.

I should be under warranty?

Toyota have an answer for this?

I have the exact same issue!!!

It has just started.

When I start my car the rear glass door unlocks.

I hear a click and the display screen says "GLASS DOOR" and the warning triangle appears.

Did anyone find a fix for it?

I have recently had this issue too (2007 model), Toyota where I live have no idea about it. Doesn't happen every time I start car, but is quite annoying

Hello.  This problem has just started happening to me.  Did anyone find a solution?  Thank you

Has not happened to my 2012 yet but was wondering if anyone had tried resetting the ecu?
That would be the first easy fix I would try.  Disconnect the negative terminal for 10-15 minutes.
(When you do this you will find that the tailgate will not open.  Just lock and unlock the car using the drivers door button to fix that.)
Let us know if this works?

I had this issue for the past 12 months it started off happening randomly then as time went on it happened more frequently. My fix for the issue was to unhook the power plug to the rear glass lock. To do this requires removing the inner rear tailgate panel. This makes the rear glass inoperable but we never used it anyway. When driving you can hear a faint click sound every now and then coming from the left side of the vehicle in the luggage area but no more open window. The process took 15 minutes to do so fairly simple.

Hi All

I have fixed the issue its a temp fix but works...

All you do when you get into car LOCK All doors before starting and glass windows does not open.

I tried it for past week, when I don't LOCK doors before starting window opens.

Hope this helps as it was super annoying closing glass door everytime car starts.

Thanks Michael

I have to say, that is a very strange issue. I wonder if there is something going within the wiring harness that controls the rear tailgate. Could be an intermittent short happening when starting the engine. One would need to consult an electrical diagram and then go about probing the relevant pinouts. I don't expect anyone do it as a DIY, I'm just saying in general. This would definitely be a job for someone clever with modern day car electrics who uses the proper test equipment.

Have Toyota ever offered a solution or are just as dumb founded ??

I didn't go to Toyota as they would sting me a whole lot of money for nothing, I was going to disconnect the glass window but when this solution worked I was happy

I think I assumed you have your car serviced there like most tend to do and you could've just asked for advice on it. Then again, they'd probably be cagey about it and want you to book it so they can milk more money out of you. They wouldn't offer free advice I think.

Has anyone found a proper solution to this issue? It just started happening to my 2008 kluger kx-r.
