Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Sounds like the tailgate motor in your Range Rover Sport may be struggling or worn out. The growling sound usually points to a failing lift motor or a worn gear, especially if the lift gate isn’t raising or securing properly. Given that it’s also unlocking after closing, the latch mechanism or sensor might also be misaligned or faulty, confusing the system into thinking the tailgate isn’t closed.
