2015 Trunk Lid not rising...

[surprisinguy]

The trunk lid does not rise on it's own (not the automatic kind). Should it? Seems the counter balance is a little off. I can walk behind it and it will unlock but it just sits there.

From the manual, it look like it does not go up. Can be a benefit to keep rain out should it get accidently released. See No.3 from the manual
To open:
1. Make sure the shift lever is in P
(Park).
2. Then do one of the following :
- Press the Smart Key Trunk
Unlock button for more than one
second.
- Press the button on the trunk
itself with the Smart Key in your
possession.
- Use the mechanical key.
- Use the trunk release button.
3. Lift the trunk lid up.

It was the exact reason, I was kind of happy when it didn't open wide on my '15.

Hit & miss with ours. Sometimes it rose, sometimes it did not. I disabled the proximity release, so no longer matters. My fault, but twice, circumstances forced me to linger around the car after exiting & locking. I was unaware the proximity release had unlocked the trunk. After coming out of stores, I was welcomed with a trunk wide open in the parking lot.
