| Description of the problem | Since i bought my car, it randomly opens the trunk by itself without pushing any button on the dashboard or on the remote control. One time, i almost drove back into a car passing by, because my rear view was blocked by opened trunk. I am afraid that my trunk may open while i am driving by itself or run into another car because my view was blocked by this trunk. I have four videos of my trunk being opened by itself, but hyundai's distric parts and service manager is refusing to fix my problem. Http://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=wqudghgozug http://www.
