Tailgate pops open

This evening after getting into my X5 and putting it into reverse the tailgate popped unlocked for no reason. I pushed the open button from inside and got out and closed it shut. I put the car back in reverse and started to back up more and the tailgate unlocked again. I got out and shut it again.

Has anyone else had the tailgate unlock for no reason?

Oh, yeah! This is a common problem with early model X5s. There are a number of threads here on this problem with a number of different solutions. Check them out, hopefully one will work for you. Mine was the most expensive, as I had to replace the latch because the license plate lights kept filling with water on my 2001. That also cured my hatch from popping open. Ususally it happened right after I started up the car and within the first 100 feet.
