Trunk opening after "spirited" uturn. - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ftc~brz · 07-30-2013, 02:21 PM

I thought I was going crazy one week when that happened to me twice a day...to and from work.

Then I realized when I put my book bag face down the straps would pull the glow handle for the emergency release when shifted around back there.
It now rides on the floor in the passenger side.

Turns out I was not crazy, just blonde.

That emergency trunk handle is extremely sensitive I think. I've had it pop open on the interstate, through town... just about everywhere when I have something back there. Plastic bags and my golf clubs love to snag the thing. I thought about taping it back but shudder at the thought of using something as crude as duct tape on my precious.

I've had this happen many times, it's definitely from something in the trunk hitting the button.

One time when doing a spirited turn, my shoes & my sunglasses fell off!

j/k--probably as stated above w/ something inside hitting button.

Totally thought that button on the side of the trunk was another way out or disabled trunk hatch all together, turns out it only turns off the remote and console button lol.

It's probably something hitting the button on your keyfob. I disabled the function because I was opening the trunk by mistake. It hasn't occurred since.

Idk about that since the button has to be held down

It has happened to me many times. Another key, the edge of a coin, etc... Can push in the button.

My hostages always seem to make their escape over the rear seat, none have tried the emergency handle.

Happened to me 3 times in the last 3 days. I just hit 1000miles and started driving the car. I thought I was going insane . Speed bump closed it the other day.

My trunk opens everytime I fart.
