04 RX330 lift gate issue. When I try to close the lift gate with either the pad on the gate, the remote, or the dash button, the gate will close approximately 25% and then beep and return to the open position. I replaced the struts last week but no change. Maybe 8 out of 10 times the gate works correctly. It acts as though the safety reverse is malfunctioning. Ideas?

Thanks in advance, as this is my first post having just joined the forum. I apologize if this subject has been covered, but I could not find it in the search feature.

Sorry, I meant to say that 8 out of 10 times the gate operates INCORRECTLY. Can someone guide me to a previous thread on this subject?

There are numerous threads on this issue. Do a search this forum using the words "lift gate" (with quotes) or hatch. It's possible you have a problem with the hatch motor or the new struts you installed are binding and causing the hatch to reverse.
