Mine randomly does this too, you can be driving along and next thing it pops up a message to say tailgate open.....they are a pretty weird vehicle in fairness

If you find out how to stop it let me know guys.

I imagine if the lock is opening its self, wouldn't it be the micro switch in the tailgate ? ( the button on the tailgate to open it)

My old ('old' - 2016 plate, keyless entry) Skoda Superb used to randomly open the boot .. thankfully only when parked outside the house, rather than moving!

Bit weird getting up in the morning to find the boot open and a cat asleep in the car, though..
