Trunk Issues

[Seattle Genesis]

not sure where I read this but someone else was having issues with the trunk being unlached. Ive noticed this myself. Ive come out several times to see that my trunk is unlached. I know that my fob is sitting on my desk and not touched. Very strange.

Never happened on my 2009 Genesis. I just walk out and its opened. Very strange.

If you think the car is acting out now; wait until the winter when the PNW gloom settles in for months at a time. Might have to add meds or a regular diet of microbrew to the tank for the poor thing to get through.

Haha. Microbrew always helps.

I lived in Portland for 5 years. I know about the gloom and the microbrews.

Not trying to be a smart ass but are you sure it's latching when you close it? Mine requires a healthy push to get it to latch. Now I know to watch for the turn signal flash to confirm.

Yes. My trunk needs a good slamming too... PLEASE DONT COMMENT ON THAT ONE !!!!!

Ive been making it a point to track my every move just to make sure that Im not getting senile. The jury is still out on that one . I will keep at it.

It's happened to me on quite a few occasions, I'm not sure what was causing it. I don't usually keep my fob in my pocket while at home, so I didn't *think* that was the issue.

Hasn't happened in a few months, though.

I had an issue where the post (the rectangular object that the latch grabs onto) became loose over time. At first I didn't realize it was occuring, but I did notice considerably more force (again, over time) to get the trunk to latch. I pulled the plastic trim off to access the bolts (star drive by the by)...once I tightened them up the lid only required a 'feather touch' to latch.

Check it out...
