Trunk opens on its own. At times you can even hear it clicking as though you are pushing the release button. Sometimes i open the garage in the morning and the trunk is open sometimes right when i start the car it will open, ill shut it then it opens again. Other times it wont open again on its own after i shut it. This should be a safety recall!
