I am the only one home at the moment so I can't try what I am about to suggest....but why don't you back the Kee into the driveway (or whatever), leave it in drive, lock the doors and have someone try to open the back lift gate?Just a question on the lift gate here. So I get into my Cherokee, start driving and notice the doors automatically lock. I love that option and will not change it. What about the back hatch though?
Yesterday my wife and I did a quick run. We pulled into a parking lot and went into different stores. I got back first, jumped in and started it up. When she came out of her store she went right to the back and opened up the lift gate by hitting the button.
That got me thinking - Now what if I am stopped at an intersection - Can anyone just walk up, hit the button and my hatch opens because the fob is in the vehicle? Maybe the above happened because we had stopped and started up without moving.
I am hopeful that the lift gate auto locks along with the doors while moving.
Thanks,

Not sure if you have the keyless entry or not, if you do, there is a sensor to the right of the lift gate button that senses when you are at the door and unlocks it for you. There is also a small button on the right side where you can press it and the whole jeep will lock, just like the ones on the driver and front passenger doors.Just a question on the lift gate here.

Quick question……any chance your wife had her FOB in her pocket or purse, the lift gate reacted to it, and did its easy entry thing when she touched the button?Just a question on the lift gate here.
