Trunk Release

Anyone ever had a problem with the trunk release popping opening when driving?

I did by accidently pushing the trunk release when driving thank goodness it was not on the highway.
Now I lock the trunk but at the same time I cannot used the trunk release on the remote.

Thr trunk doesn't pop even 2 inches, and with all the downforce on the rear of the car there is no way it is going to open. It wouldn't be a problem at any speed unless you were going really fast in reverse. And then it would be a real problem because you wouldn't be able to see where you're going!

Cyrus you are right on with that one,

Imagine you are just standing there and a Maxima comes backing on by you in reverse, with the trunk open, I think I would die from the laughter! No, first I would run after the guy and try to help save his Max, then I would laugh my a$$ off!!

I had this prob when i would put my cell phone in my left pocket. all you gotta do is in the back where the latch is pull the little lever up... the dissables the trunk release... the only way to open it now is with the key though.

I just unplugged the switch in the door. When I installed my alarm/remote start, I just setup one of the channels to pop the trunk so I don't need the door switch anymore. The only way it will open is by the remote or the key. A little more secure that way if you've got something to keep secure in the trunk.
