I bet your button is stuck. It’s a well known issue. I’ll see if I can find the thread.

Quickest fix till you can get it into the dealer is press the lift-gate button and then press the ridge to the right of the button. Works every time for me.

my button physically failed. had it replaced.
That works! Why does it work? What's behind the ridge? So bizzare.

It's not what's behind the ridge, it's just that button gets hung up somehow and pressing the ridge releases it. Holding the button is how you set the liftgate max open height; when the button gets hung up, the vehicle thinks you're just trying to set the height not close the gate.
Mine was a quick dealer fix when I was in for an oil change, just swapped the whole button assembly.

In the "plus" category, you are just about the only owner on here who has stated that their kick sensor works.

my Kick sensor works, but only the left side. never could get it to read on the right side.
This is a result of the tow package...not sure if yours is so equipped or not.
