Why does the tailgate of a Kia Sportage get stuck?
Years 2016-2022

Answer

The tailgate of a Kia Sportage can get stuck for a variety of reasons, both electrical and mechanical. If when you try to open it, the lock makes a “click†sound then the problem could be solved by lubricating the lock and its striker with disulfide unlocking agent. Alternatively, the blockage could also be due to a malfunction in the control unit and therefore be of an electrical nature.
