This appears to be an intentional design feature; however, it creates a real-world safety concern.  Description of Safety Concern: In normal daily use, I needed to quickly access the rear cargo area (to retrieve my child\u2019s belongings) while parked with the vehicle turned off. The rear window was partially lowered, which prevented the tailgate from opening entirely.  This resulted in a delay while I attempted to determine why the tailgate would not open and then had to return to the driver\u2019s seat to raise the rear window before accessing the cargo area.  During this time, my child was left standing in a parking lot longer than necessary. While the vehicle was stationary, the inability to quickly access the rear compartment created an avoidable safety exposure.  Why This Is a Concern: The system does not account for vehicle state (e.g., parked, engine off, zero speed). A more appropriate design would allow the tailgate to open when the vehicle is stationary or automatically raise the rear window when the tailgate is activated.  Instead, the current behavior enforces a strict lockout regardless of context, which can delay access in situations where timely access is important for safety.  Requested Action: I request that this behavior be reviewed for potential safety implications and that consideration be given to a software update or design change that allows tailgate operation when the vehicle is stationary, or provides an automatic window-close function when opening the tailgate.  Additional Notes: This behavior may be present across multiple model years and could affect a large number of vehicles.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"4RUNNER","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
