Bootlid opens by itself?
Hello everybody,

I am writing for a good friend who has a very strange problem with his Merc. On his brand new MY 2017 E220 Sedan, the bootlid opens by itself.

The key is NOT activated in any way, but from time to time and totally at random, the bootlid opens by itself. MB can't find the fault - does anyone in here know about it and how to cure the issue?

Best regards

CJ

Might be the new key fob design. Happens to my cousin (not an MB though)
Let him sit or walk around his car with the key in his pocket.

As I said, it has nothing to do with the key fob - the car is 8 months old and all sorts of tests have been performed. Any other suggestions?

In the pocket, on the table etc. Anyone got some input not related to the key?
