Beg to differ. Standing beside the car should not activate it, and it should have some sort of safety sensor to either not let it hit something or to at least stop it from trying to open once it does hit something. I admit, I have a weird parking situation, but still.
I think it should definitely have a sensor to stop the process once it encounters resistance. As far as washing and storage I would just keep the key off my body when I know I’m going to be near the vehicle unless I want the vehicle to open. I think they give you three warning beeps before the trunk opens. Thanks for sharing.
I wouldn't say it is a design flaw. And it's advised in the manual to keep the key away from the car if the auto-open is enabled in cases where the vehicle will not be used (like cleaning, or just standing near it). It adds unnecessary strain to the battery.
You have a unique situation with those wood racks so low...quick fix...don't lock your car in the garage...don't think it's a flaw...to me it's like complaining that my McDonald's coffee is too hot...we have to pay attention more and think ahead.
@@HammysShowcase Hmmm now that is crazy if your car is unlocked...my telluride and forte only does it locked...so I guess best to disable it in your menu...too bad because it's a great feature when needed.
Every car I've driven that has this feature requires you to be directly behind the car to trigger it. I literally was standing beside it and as you saw in the video, can't get behind my car unless I crawl. So I was not concerned in the slightest bit about it potentially being triggered
I mean this guy has an interesting parking situation, but not his fault. I've never seen a car that triggers the trunk when standing beside it. Normally you gotta kick your leg behind it or do some sort of ritual dance
I just turn that off. Its annoying but also good at the same time. Im out driving for fun, went to the grocery store, come out with some bags of grocery, its useful when it automatically opens for you lol.
I had that happen to me in my garage as well. I love the feature. I just don't have the fob on me when I'm washing the car at home. You get four beeps, so at least you're warned!
Mine did the four beeps, but I couldn't make it stop. I tried pressing all the keys on the fob to make it stop. I had my buffer in my hands so I didn't think to stand up and run away lol
@@HammysShowcase Funny you state that you run away to avoid having the tailgate open unexpectedly. Yep! My wife has my other set of keys in her purse and I have hers. We're running away quickly to avoid it lifting up! 😂 It's handy with groceries though! No kicking and swinging the foot!
Same issue on my Stinger GT2. I turned off the feature because I found it more of a hassle than helping. I get it right, we are all expecting the latest and greatest, but my hands are never so full to where I can't depress the trunk button on the fob or button on the trunk.
Im calling BS without video evidence. You have to be behind the rear parking sensors with the key fob for the trunk to open. Trunk is not going to open if you are only at the rear door.
I wasn't at the rear door, I was at the rear quarter panel by the back wheel when it started to open, but as you can se, . I can't get directly behind the car unless I crawl
Yes I saw where you pointed, rear quarter/door. Smart lift gate is not designed to operate nor will operate there unless there is some sort of major malfunction…post some evidence and maybe people at Genesis will take this claim seriously. But this is not a “design flaw” because the system is not designed to operate the way you claim the vehicle behaved.
That's a great question.. 🤔❓I don't normally lock it, but the trunk opened, so maybe it opens when the car is unlocked as well. Havnt enabled the feature in forever so not really sure
Didn't intentionally try to open it, nor did I expect it to open standing beside the car. Regardless, I have a really odd parking situation so yes, part my error I guess. But notheless, I definitely think any powered trunk should have some sort of safety sensor or safety shutoff if it hits something and can't open.

That's not a design flaw. That's an operator flaw.

I normally keep my key off me when washing, sometimes I forget tho haha
Sounds like your garage has a design flaw.
You honestly couldn't be more correct, it really does 😂
LOL
Any power trunk should have safety sensors I think
I wouldn't say it is a design flaw. And it's advised in the manual to keep the key away from the car if the auto-open is enabled in cases where the vehicle will not be used (like cleaning, or just standing near it). It adds unnecessary strain to the battery.
Who actually reads those manuals anyway lol😂😂
Same thing happens to me when I'm filling up gas.
That's hilarious 😂

It still activates even if unlocked. Nor did I think it would activate while standing beside the car, wasn't even a concern lol.
@@HammysShowcase Hmmm now that is crazy if your car is unlocked...my telluride and forte only does it locked...so I guess best to disable it in your menu...too bad because it's a great feature when needed.
The design flaw is the motors trying to open against all resistance. It should detect resistance and stop before damaging the components.
@@OPgrits absolutely correct
@@HammysShowcaseit will not activate when the car is locked. Being locked is literally a prerequisite for it to function
all drunks are like that. that isnt a flaw. they expect the end user to have some level of intelligence.

Thanks for the head’s up. Considering a 24’ 2.5 AWD. Will definitely go into settings & turn that auto function off.
I just turn that off. Its annoying but also good at the same time. Im out driving for fun, went to the grocery store, come out with some bags of grocery, its useful when it automatically opens for you lol.
It works really well, better than most cars with this feature, but yeah is more annoying than useful lol

Agreed 🤝
Then it's better to have a hands-free trunk that opens with your foot instead

Should have a sensor... not sure why they even power the trunk. It weighs nothing.
Agreed
It's a luxury feature other cars in the close have so they included it in the Genesis G70
@@NileshR12 Yeah, just feels unnecessary everytime I use mine.. but nothing to complain about!
Why did they put a trunk senor for opening at the side rear of the car??? That's just ludicrous.
I mean it works really well, better than most cars.. Almost too good lol😂😂.
its not, its at the back of the car based on key location, he just got close enough to the sensor with his key in his pocket (i have one)
Why would your car be locked while you are washing it?
That's a great question.. 🤔❓I don't normally lock it, but the trunk opened, so maybe it opens when the car is unlocked as well. Havnt enabled the feature in forever so not really sure
@@HammysShowcase it doesn’t do it when unlocked, I have a sonata with that feature
moreso a operator error than design flaw
