Trunk opening after "spirited" uturn.
So my trunk doesn't fully open, but it opens enough for my door ajar light to come on and stay on until I either go over a speed bump or open and close the trunk. It happens whenever I do a hard uturn. And I can only assume it would happen when i do donuts, but I would never do anything like that... It definitely occurs pretty much every time I do a "spirited" uturn. Does this happen to anyone else?

Mine did it a couple times now, both when I hit a speed bump at normal speed, and both when I'm carrying something bulky in the trunk (possibly it pulled that glow-in-the-dark handle inside it).
Someone suggested to keep the trunk locked with that button thing inside it, but meh..

Hostages don't appreciate U turns. You just need to be more considerate. Maybe throw some pillows back there as well...

I like how the word "spirited" is now used, instead of drove like an ass hole.

Happened to me a few weeks ago. I took one of my favorite roads with one curve that had some pretty bad washboarding. My dash light came on and I pulled over and sure enough it was open. Hasn't happened since.

Yea I think it was something hitting the escape handle. When I looked at it yesterday it wasn't clicked into its holder so it was kinda drooped down right where my backpack could reach so I snapped it back into place and took my backpack out. It hasn't happened again since.

You could just take the emergency handle off...That way it won't open from the inside anymore, and your hostages can't escape lol
