As it states, the trunk doesn't pop open like it should. I have to stand back there and lift up on it while I push the trunk release button or turn the key, even then it takes a few times for it to open. I'm gonna have to take it in and have them fix it......

 

I had the same issue recently. I noticed that it clicked and opened progessively slower over months until it would not open at all. Like you I had to push up or down after unlocking to get it to open. I first thought that the seal was sticking to the trunklid, so I gave it coat of armorall to no avail. I then sprayed a little WD-40 up into the lock mechanism from the trunk side (not in the keyhole.) This worked immediately, no more problem. The only concern I have is that WD-40 is sort of thin and tends to evaporate. If the prblem occurs again I will use a thicker lubricant like aerosol lithium grease. Good luck, I hope you don't have to take it to the dealer. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon24.gif[/img]

 

Mine still does it.

Basically pop the trunk.... then push down on the lid and up.. and it should open right up.

It's a weird problem though.
