Anyone have a trunk unlocking problem

Wheel Team 6 · 10-09-2016, 12:48 AM

Twice now mine has not opened when clicked on the key fob or the button on the driver's door. Kept locking and unlocking it then it finally opened. Done this twice in the past week.

One other thing I'm noticing is one day it runs very strong then a few days later it seems weak. Thought it was the phenomenon of getting used to the car but heads up races against a buddies car that runs low 12's and I leave it. Then against another buddies car that struggles to run mid 13's he is right with me. Almost feels like a throttle tune issue. Anyone have an idea let me know. One pass it pops on shifts sounds great and pulls hard then again it sounds weak and pulls weak. Mode set to track on each pull. I'm baffled by it.

My trunk seems to "stick" sometimes. I hit the button and hear the click but the trunk is still locked. I haven't had a chance to look in depth but I imagine it could be an adjustment issue. Seems to just get stuck and not let go. Maybe a some more usage will wear it in and stop the sticking. It's happened 2 or 3 times for me already an I only have 300 miles on the my 2017 SS,

Mine does it 50% of the time. I'll let the dealer take care of it when I bring my car in for it's first oil change at the end of the month.

about your second problem with the perceived fluctuation in performance....why not use your 0-60 timer and check the acceleration on a good day and when you have a bad day just to see it there is a real difference or its all in your mind.

My trunk does the same thing. Is very random. I hope someone can share some insight on this small issue.

My 60' times are awful. I honestly think a 4 or 6 car could beat me. I've tried it a few times here and there. Thanks for the suggestion. Actually I ran my buddies proven time and time again low 12 second modified 2000 ls1 transam and I pulled away from him over and over. Then a couple weeks later ran another friend of mine with an 02 camaro with very little mods 13.50 car at best and he actually pulled on me. This is where my thoughts are coming from if you understand what I'm saying. Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I dropped my car off with my dealer tonight. Will see what comes out of this latest trip to the dealer.

Update

Trunk was adjusted now opens every time. Was told if the adjusters are out to much the trunk will stick shut.

They think I had bad gas in the car. Ran it empty and put a fresh tank of 93 in. Seems fine for now.
