The liftgate on our 2015 QX60 can be manually opened from the outside even when the doors are locked. We'd like it be locked until we unlock the car. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you have the fob in your pocket then the hatch release acts just like the door request buttons on the door handles. There's an I-key antenna at the back of the car expressly for that. It should only stay locked if you don't have a key in proximity. If it's unlocking with no key around, then your hatch lock has an issue.

Thank you. That worked. Don't understand why it's just the liftgate that unlocks when the key fob is close by, but now we know.

There is a little button to the right of the bigger button that will unlock/lock all of the doors. I didn't know it existed until about 6 months after owning our 2016.
