2010 E350 4Matic ML350 on order
Spooks in this car?

We've owned our E350 4matic for 10 months now and absolutely love it. Something rather spooky has happened 3-4 times now in the last several months and once tonight after coming out of a restaurant. The trunk (or boot for you Brits) is opening seemingly by itself. The doors are all locked. I have found it open in the garage several times also.

I thought the button might be getting pushed with the key fob in my front pant pocket but this doesn't seem to make sense. I have to consciously push the trunk button and hold it for several seconds before the trunk opens. Any ideas?

Tom

On the times when it opens itself did you use the auto trunk closer when closing?

Yes, I use the auto closer every time.
