The trunk keeps unlocking. While I'm driving, when I unlock the door, sitting in traffic...etc. I'll be riding along and hear the locks on the trunk disengage and then the trunk light flashes on the dashboard and sure enough the trunk is open. It's maddening because I have to get out and open the trunk and shut it, then as I walk away I hear them disengage again so I have to open and shut it again. When I stop at my destination, the lock disengages again and I have to make sure that the trunk is locked before I leave the car in the parking lot. Totally frustrating.

door locks opening and closing on their own

This car has been a fine automobile but I have never seen a car whose door locks open on their own and then try to close but can't and just sit and buzz at you. Manually locking the doors results in their opening again within 5 minutes. In order to prevent further damage, I remo=ved the fuse.
