Rear trunk door won-??t lock when closed and open up while driving. It-??s unsafe as I have to constantly keep an eye in rear view mirror to see if door popped open by itself. Took to service station and they said it-??s tied to battery and it is preventing door to close because trunk door takes power to open. I do not understand how trunk door locking close cannot be independent of battery. It is quite unsafe for vehicle occupants and poses danger to other vehicles driving behind.
