Mercedes W212 electric trunk problem
Hey guys.
I hope everything is alright with you.
I have a problem with the electric trunk of my mercedes W212 facelift. Whenever I open the trunk with the key, it opens but in the middle of the movement it closes again without anyone having given that order. After the first time, the second time and the rest open normally. It only happens if I open the trunk with the key, by manual opening or the button on the driver's door doesn't happen.
Has anyone had this problem? Is it a physical problem (wires, motor...) or coding?
Watch the video of my car where you can see the problem I have.
Thanks

My trunk lid does this, but its because IO got the copding changed so that I can open and close the trunk via the key. If you do a quick second press, it will open on without hesitation.
Did you buy your car like this? Or did it happen all of a sudden?

It happens 1 of about 50 times on my sedan, but I never use knob buttons, waving the feet or pulling the trunk lid with a hand.
I just learned to be aware about possibility and when it happens, I stop the lid with hand and it will automatically go to fully open.
Did I say I hate dealing with software?

I also installed the opening and closing with the car key.
It was a good explanation.
