I have complaints in both know problems w/ electrical. The PCM was replaced under warranty, and seemed to correct the problem. However, it has since returned. Rather than pay a small fortune to replace again, I simply go through the ridiculous routine of releasing my trunk, and BEFORE closing my trunk I need to unlock my drivers door and open it (leaving it open). If you do this in any other form/fashion the alarm goes off. If you don't go through the routine, you simply set the alarm off and have to disengage by hitting unlock on your key fob. I guess I should just be thankful my car isn't mysteriously stalling out (I'm not), but I've had to replace several batteries from the continuous draw on it from the security.
