Why can't the trunk of the Chevrolet Cruze be opened?
2 Answers
The Chevrolet Cruze trunk may not open due to a damaged trunk switch, and if the remote control also fails to open it, the lock block is likely damaged. The Cruze's trunk door is remote-controlled; remember to press and hold the trunk unlock button on the remote to open it. Of course, when pressing the trunk unlock button, the central locking system should be activated, allowing the remote to open it. The Chevrolet Cruze has a body length, width, and height of 4450 mm, 1807 mm, and 1459 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. The Chevrolet Cruze features front-wheel drive, a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension, a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension with a Watt's linkage, and a unibody structure.
I've been driving a Chevrolet Cruze for several years and have encountered the issue of the trunk not opening multiple times. The most common problem is the trunk lock getting stuck, especially during winter or when debris blocks the lock slot. If the remote key isn't working, it might be due to a dead battery—try replacing it with a new one. Another possibility is a blown fuse; locate the corresponding one for the trunk in the car's fuse box and check it. During regular maintenance, remember to apply some lubricant to the lock to prevent sticking. If it really won't open, don't force it open as this can damage the car's paint or the cables, leading to more costly repairs. It's advisable to drive directly to a 4S shop or auto repair shop where they can use professional tools to diagnose and fix the issue more efficiently. Ignoring this problem long-term could also affect emergency escape—safety first.
