My trunk release button, both the button in the glove box and on the key fob actuate the trunk release but it won't stay actuated long enough to open the trunk. So unless you are standing pulling up on the trunk lid at the same time as you are pushing the button the lid doesn't open.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

 

You need to replace the shocks for the hatch. that is the reason it will not open after you pop the release.

 

The shocks have no problem holding the lid up, but you think they are to weak to pop the trunk lid up. Thanks I will try that.

 

My trunk lid never pops up when I press the trunk release button,it just unlocks .

 

my ride has 14,000 miles and it's like new. I get about a half inch of pop

 

Car may look like new, but those hatch shocks are 13 yrs old and they DO NOT get better with age. A good set will pop that hatch wide open without any help. My opinion
