Power Door problem
Hi all,
Suddenly the power door is my 2008 RX400h is acting up a bit. When I press either the button on remote or on dash, the door makes a sound as if it starts to open but it does not. When I press (and hold) again button door opens without issues. Basically always opens but in second attempt. Any ideas what may be causing this?

One day I propped open the rear hatch and partially removed one of the gas lift struts, and some of the gas had leaked out and it was Very Weak/Bad!
The other strut seemed OK, but since they were both the original struts, I decided to Replace both of them. The Rear Door/Hatch now Opens on the First Try, Every Time!
No More do it Twice, the Weak/Bad Struts were my problem!!

Only a matter of time
Yours are nearing the end of their functionality. Time to replace.

Change your lift struts. The symptoms you mentioned point towards bad lift struts, they are not expensive and easy to replace. Good luck.
