How to Deal with the Trunk Opening Automatically Without Reason?
2 Answers
The methods to deal with the trunk opening automatically without reason are: 1. If the hinge mechanism has excessive resistance or is deformed, lubricate or replace the hinge; 2. If the trunk opening motor is faulty, it generally needs to be replaced; 3. Go to a 4S shop to install a new type of trunk lid buffer pad (with elasticity). The maintenance methods for the trunk are: 1. When cleaning, use a brush to remove dirt, including the edges and grooves of the trunk, and perform odor treatment after cleaning; 2. Use separate bags for organized placement of items; 3. Lay a trunk mat to prevent dirt or liquids from entering the trunk and eroding its surface, while also preventing items inside the trunk from sliding, reducing the possibility of contamination or damage.
I've encountered the issue of the trunk popping open unexpectedly a few times, and it's quite annoying. Generally, you should first check if the key was accidentally pressed or if the battery is running low, especially with smart keys where weak batteries from prolonged use can cause false triggers. Also, inspect whether the trunk button inside the car is stuck—sometimes excessive dust can cause it to malfunction. If the lock mechanism is rusty or loose, it might also open randomly. I tried manually pushing it back in; if that doesn't work, quickly turn off the power and drive to get it fixed to avoid losing items. Additionally, short circuits or poor wiring connections are major issues. It's troublesome to dismantle and check yourself, so it's better to visit a professional shop early to test the voltage with proper equipment, preventing accidents on the road. Regular maintenance and lubricating the lock cylinder can help prevent such sudden issues.
