Electronic trunk (THE CAR IS ALIVE)
Is anyone having problems with the trunk not staying closed when you hit the lock button. A few days a ago it happend to my again. I closed the trunk with the lock button and as I'm walking away, all ready a good 5 feet away, the trunk just popped open, what an embarrassment walking away from a $100k car and have that happen. I walked back to close it and it did it 2 more times. I finally had to unlock the car close the trunk with the regular close button and then lock the car. What sucks more is that the dealer doesn't do anything about because the can't "replicate" the problem, (*******s) sorry it just make me upset... Anyone else with this problem...

I think.... it is senseing the key in your pocket. when you leave to quickly and out of the range of the sensor, the trunk opens back up. Stand by the trunk and let it finish closeing and locking. Then walk away. 
$10 says I'm right.
You can have a key in the trunk and lock it as long as you have one in your pocket.
