Trunk is constantly popping open, although no one is hitting the button on the keys nor pulling the lever. i can be in the house with my keys on the counter and it will pop open. actually had stuff stolen because of this. this will happen whether it is stopped, when i'm driving, anywhere. i don't have to hit a bump or anything. radio is crackly and cuts out and beeps but only when playing bluetooth. when i use an aux or just fm it works perfect.
