The trunk kept opening on it's own, without the key fob anywhere near it. I googled the issue and it looks like it's a very common issue on the charger and challenger models yet the dealership had never heard of it. It was 199.00 before tax for parts and labor for a new trunk sensor. The scary part is that it opened while the vehicle was in motion backing up as well.
