Trunk deoesn't open all the way - Normal??
 
So I had opportunity to drive a Buick Lacrosse. When I popped the trunk, it sprung open all the way which my Lexus does not do. While the rest of that Lacrosse was garbage, I really liked that the trunk did that. Especially when your hands are full.

Am I whining enough yet? :p

So this is normal right?

Trunk opens all the way in mine

Mine opens fully. The only complaint I have is some cars open and close more quickly than the LS. One trick I did learn here is that if you push the close button twice, it will close more quickly.

Uh oh.....let me clarify.....this IS NOT the automatic trunk. Just the standard trunk release. My BMW had the auto close but not this one. However, I would at least like it to fully open when I unlock it like the Buick did. I just wondered if the struts are weak.

What package did your car come with?

ML, self park, That's about it. Why?

Strange, I thought all LS's came with the auto trunk open by remote and close after hitting button under trunk lid

roadfrog Mar 16, 2014 08:12 PM

Nope......but I wish!

My GS trunk just opens about an inch or two.

Mine pops up all the way, Think all 6 I checked out before purchasing this one did as well. i wonder what packages it came with standard.

Can you open your trunk and take a pic underneath the trunk lid. Maybe it's wired for a push button.

Wiring won't be an issue, but the hydraulics involved would be. Assuming it's anything like my Beemer was.

Mine only opens a couple inches....unless it's windy and catches the trunk lid and then it fully opens, which is always a nice surprise!


Mine pops up all the way,
And you don't have the power trunk?
