Cold weather makes it worse for sure. I did the penny fix but now that it's colder it's not working any more, I'll have to add more pennies.

I just dropped off my car today, this will be the 4th time in the shop for the rear hatch problem! I don't know why they can't fix this. I'm about ready to do the lemon law thing on my car. Also getting the sport seat TSB done. I hope they can fix some thing.

Not necessarily true. I did the "Three Penny Opera" over a year ago. Haven't had a single failure since that time. Just sayin'.

I did 3 pennies about 3k ago, and have had it fail to open once or twice since. Mostly as it gets colder.
Figure I'll get the TSB done around oil change time, and then add pennies until I'm back to 3 if it fails

I am hesitant to take it to the dealer because I think it may just be a waste of my time and gas to get it fixed and then it won't eliminate the problem. I guess I just have to press the button twice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Cold temperatures have something to do with this. From April through November---no stick. December through March---gotta' click twice. No big deal and I'm simply resigned to it, as my gar is garaged most of the cold weather season. I would, though, like to have an official explanation of why the temperature seems to be involved.

Any one using the penny trick with the new springs? That's my plan if mine starts acting up next winter.
