the art of solving problems is the art of visual intelligence.
pop the trunk and look at the latching mechanism, try to activate it with the FOB....what do you see going on? I dont have an answer for you, just helping you diagnose the issue

 

Yes, you probably have a problem with the actuator. As above, LOOK at it, you may find something loose or worn.
