Yes indeed. Once, I pressed the wrong button while stopped at a large intersection right before green arrow. Looked pretty stupid turning left with tailgate open. You can't close it from inside, and I wasn't going to get out to close it, being first in line to turn left.
On multiple ocasions, I would come out of the store, drop groceries in the trunk, hit the close button, and start driving just before tailgate is fully closed (yes, I am that quick, hehe). Unfortunately, the tailgate stops dead in tracks when car starts moving. Pretty stupid...
