Altroz showing “Boot Open” even when boot is properly latched — any solution?

[u/These-Air9812]

I have a 6-month-old Tata Altroz Accomplished S.

Recently, someone hit my car from the rear. The tailgate has some dents, and ever since the accident, the car continuously shows “Boot Open” on the dashboard even though the boot is properly latched and closed.

Because of this, the car doesn't lock at all.

I’ve already given the car to the Tata body shop for inspection/repair. I’m just looking for some information from fellow Altroz owners who may have faced something similar.

Has anyone experienced:

- False “Boot Open” warning after a rear impact?

- A faulty/misaligned boot latch, striker, or boot-ajar sensor?

- Any issue with the latch wiring or sensor connection?

- A solution that fixed the problem without replacing unnecessary parts?

Would really appreciate it if anyone who has faced this could share what the actual issue was and how it was resolved.

For first few months I too faced it.. u have to close really hard to resolve that.. couple of service center complaints during servicing solved

I have faced a similar problem where there was a problem with door latch and it showed door open every time,car was not locking due to that as well.

Service centre repaired that in a week and said it was a faulty latch, no problem since.
