ML550 Hatch Issue

We traded our 2008 ML350 for a CPO 2011 ML550 and have issues with the hatch. Sometimes it closes all the way, sometimes not, no consistency to when it works or not. I don't like having to stand beside the hatch continually to make sure it closes all the way. The 2008 ML350 never had any issues at all like this. Does anyone know how to make this get fixed? It always works properly when its at the dealer. We LOVE the car, but we just want it to work like its supposed to.

I was having a simular issue and there was a fault code for a bad pinch sensor which was replaced and cured the problem.

I had the same thing happen on my 08 ML550.. I moved the latch towards the front of the car until it stops and re-tightened.. It works everytime now. If you do not hear the motor pulling the liftgate in after it shuts then that is probably your problem..
