trunk release button - strange alarm
Just in the past week or so the trunk release started acting strange.
With the FOB pocketed and the car locked, I push the button on the trunk... it opens... but when i close it it latches for 1 second then pops again and the car starts emitting a steady tone. Not super loud like an alarm but almost like it's trying to tell me the trunk is not latched. I have to push the door unlock button on the FOB to get it to stop. This will go on repeatedly until I actually open a door at which point the trunk will stay latched.
Seems like something with the security system is wonky. Anyone ever experienced this?

It is one of the coolest features of these cars. My 08 Altima had the same smart key configuration and one day after a round of golf i popped the trunk and threw my golf bag in w my key in the bag. Closed the trunk, but the car wouldn't let me. Without this feature I would have been hosed. Car locked and key in the trunk.
