 Ford Mondeo III - 02 2.0d Tailgate Gremlin - Runfer D'Hills
My Mondeo estate has started to do a strange thing. It releases the tailgate whenever you start the engine. So, once the engine is running you have to get out and shut the tailgate. Then it stays shut for that journey. There is a way around this which is to lock the doors from the inside before turning the key and this prevents the tailgate from opening so it's no big deal yet anyway.

I suspect a bewitched microswitch in the tailgate locking mechanism. Any other theories ?
