At first the trunk wouldn't shut every time. You had to hold your tongue right and cross your toes and hope it would shut. Then one day it shut ok, got to destination, and lid wouldn't open. Have looked at it from the inside by lowering the back seat and problem seems to be the cable, but haven't been able to fix yet. So not sure. With 3 kids and all their stuff, it really sucks not having easy access to the trunk.
