It appears if you move the car with the tailgate open it refuses to electrically close for about 5 minutes.

Neat "feature" eh...??? (not)

I understand that it does it deliberately, however its not terribly logical.

yes the power tail gate should not be operational when the car is moving. But you open the taligate, get out, realise you need to reverse further get back in start car and reverse, stop car and now the tailgate is buggered. Totally user unfriendly, and now you have a tailgate that instead of being effort free, requires the strength of samson to close.

Why they can not determine that someone pressing the button on the remote, or pressing the acutator on the boot, five times in a row of something is a way to reset this failsafe, i don't know.
