Anyone else have their emergency trunk release (that button on the inside of the trunk in case someone gets locked in the trunk) suddenly go haywire? It seems like either the button/switch is bad, or there is some other sensor or module that is messed up. When I try to close the trunk, it will not close until the third or fourth try, and then the car tries (no phone connected) to make an emegency SOS call. Seems like the car thinks that someone is trapped in the trunk. Any ideas?
