What year is your cruiser? Is it still covered by warranty? Give us some more info. I, myself haven't heard of this, maybe someone else has.

Only other hatch problem I recall is someone's wouldn't unlock.
Are you saying the hatch actually pops open, not just unlocks???
If it unlocks, does it lock with the door switch or when you hit 15 MPH?

If you are saying the hatch latch releases (thus the hatch OPENS) when you Start the Engine:

The problem is the MORONS at DC replaced a simple, reliable mechanical latch release with an annoying electrical latch and push button combo. It could be a surge tripping the latch, or a body computer that has had a minor stroke?


Take it to the dealer and say the magic words:

SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD

Driving with an open hatch will not only allow your stuff to fall out, but will suck Carbon Monoxide in and Cause You to DIE.

DC better fix it for free, or you can file a complaint with NHTSA
