Trunk no longer opens. Came with trunk release button on fob, by stearing wheel and by trunk on outside, and none of these buttons actually do what they are suppose to do. It is attempting to release somehow because you can hear the trunk when any of these button are pushes, but no actual movement. Huge trunk, and no way to utilize.
