st_OP38 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi Haas anybody experienced problem with the trunk open assist on the Edge 2011 (I know there is an extra cylinder to open the trunk door) at very cold temperature. I did experience at -25C on my wife Focus 2006 hatchback the trunk basically falling back on my head when its very cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkxtra Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I use to have this hatchback (Toyota celica GTS) When it got very cold the hatch would no longer keep the hatch up,, it would just fall closed. When it got warmer all came back normal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Sounds like the strut freezes in the closed position then doesn't provide any resistance when opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70Mach1Speed Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Sorry, I never had that problem with my liftgate even when it got to -22 for my area one night. What I did get was frosted windows (both front/rear side doors) that would not clear up no matter what fan setting I tried (hour long highway journey too). Did you by chance experience that? I was disappointed that a 2011 vehicle couldn't handle the very cold outdoor temps within the cabin. Other vehicles I passed on the road didn't seem to have the same issues.
