Seeking Advice on 2020 Nissan Elgrand's Tailgate Issue and Warning Light Problem

Hey folks! I'm dealing with some quirky behavior from my 2020 Nissan Elgrand with a gas engine. Lately, the tailgate isn't popping open automatically and there's a warning light showing on my speedometer. I'm theorizing it could be a faulty Hall sensor on the tailgate. Has anyone else run into this issue and if yes, how did you get it sorted out at the workshop? What kind of experience did you have? Any input would be much appreciated!

Hey! I'm no car expert, just an average Joe with some experience under my belt. I had a similar hump with my 2018 Nissan Patrol. Yup, the big brother of your Elgrand. The beast wasn't responding well with a warning light popping up too, turned out it was a Cable defect! I spoke to my usual guy at the workshop and they managed to sort it out for me. Fixed it up for about 95 Euro. But, hey, every case is different, isn't it? Can you share a bit more on what's happening? Any odd noises or events leading up to this? It could help zero in on the issue. Let's get that tailgate spry again!

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. That's interesting. I can't single out any weird noises or events that could've triggered it. It all seems rather unusual. My Elgrand's been running fine. We made it to 164505 km without a hitch, you see. After the last service, the tailgate just started acting out. Maybe it's about time I paid my guy at the workshop a visit. A cable defect? That's a possibility. By the way, big respect for managing a beast like Patrol. But yeah, every case is different, let's see how it goes. I'll keep you posted!

Hey, no problem! Glad we could connect on this. Randomness doesn't make it any easier, eh? But don't sweat it too much, these machines have their own quirky moments. They like playing hard to get at times just to keep us on our toes! Hmm, no weird noises or such, eh? Well, could very well be a cable defect, similar to the ordeal I had with my Patrol. Or, it could also be something minor like a loosened connector or a blown fuse. Who knows till it's checked out? Yup, do take the Elgrand down to your workshop guy soon. I'd say better sort it now than later. You wouldn't want to end up with a tailgate that refuses to open at the worst possible moment! And thanks for the compliments. Man and machine, we've gotten along alright so far. Looking out for updates from you! Let's solve this riddle together! Drive safe.

Hey! You couldn't be more right. Cars do have their ways of keeping us on edge. Maybe it's their way of testing our patience or love, who knows! Fingers crossed it's just a minor issue like a loose cable or a blown fuse. I scheduled a visit with my workshop guy for first thing tomorrow. Top-notch guy, he’ll sort it alright. Your input's been really helpful. Will definitely keep you in the loop. Appreciate the camaraderie! Keep taming that beast of yours. Cheers and stay safe on those roads. Over and out!
