You can still lower your rear seat to get your stuff out. The unlock mechanism may be bad? Take it to the dealership. Covered by warranty.

I hope this thread does not end up like jqueens....lol

How ironic, a member posted two days back his hood won't open. Turns out it was the linkage to the latch was broken when he modded his headlights

Go through the back seat and try the release latch inside the trunk.

I think there is a button inside the glove box that controls the locking mechanism to the trunk. Check that out to see if it helps.

There is also an "emergency" red loop in the car, that if you pull it, it will flop the seats down. Its in the center of the back seat, between the bottom and the back- dead center of the car. If you reach in between the top and bottom of the seat and feel around, you will get it. (Not too many people know about this feature).

Good ol' crowbar will do the trick too.

I never flip that switch on though. Whenever I valet (not very often after a bad experience I had), I give them the entire key fob since they usually complain that there's no ring they can hang it on if I take just they key like you're supposed to do.
