When I place key fob in my pocket, if there is anything else in said pocket ie: pen, coins etc. If any pressure is applied to trunk unlock button on key fob...the trunk will open leaving anything I have in the trunk vulnerable to being removed. This issue has happened a half dozen times either at work, I'll be in the building and co-workers will inform me that my trunk is open, at church and at grocery store. I am now paranoid of putting my keys in my pocket at any time because I do not know how far away the remote will unlock the trunk. I know that I have parked the car in the garage at work and looked back at the car as I was more than 50 feet from vehicle before I entered building and the trunk was still closed. So it is able to open the trunk when I have my keys in my pocket INSIDE THE BUILDING.

There should be a distance limit attached to this feature to ensure the trunk does not open when the car is out of my sight.
