Trunk Keeps Opening Itself
My trunk keeps opening itself, randomly. It has happened a couple times now, and my key fob is not in there. Have no clue why, anyone else had this happen?

When I had knee surgery a few months ago, I was getting into my car differently and found that on many occasions, I had hit the trunk release button while getting in. Not sure where/how your situation is happening.

No sure what you mean about the fob location but I occasion open my truck with a butt release on the fob button when I sit down.

I just meant that the trunk isn’t opening because the fob was inside. I still haven’t figured it out, maybe I am accidentally hitting the button, idk.

My 2013 Accord EXL used to have that problem - the trunk would pop open while I was driving on occasion.

Try turning off the trunk release using the switch in the glovebox until you get it checked by a dealer. That should kill any accidental button push open of the trunk. If it still opens then it might be something with the latch.

It's a combination of the button's location and its hair trigger activation. It's too easy to hit with a knee when getting into the vehicle. They should have made it a press and hold type switch.

It is a real pain. I think I have the same problem. I walk to my 2021 TLX after working all day and see my trunk has been open...apparently ALL DAY! I wake up in the morning and look out the window... and again my trunk was open... all night apparently! But if I stand in front of my car and push the fob button I have to hold it for a couple of seconds for it to activate. This sounds like a known problem because I have seen many similar posts. Who needs this nonsense? Does Acura have an answer? Not good!
