Check your owners manual to see if the valet button is on that would prevent the trunk being opened by a casual driver. I actually spent about an hour trouble shooting my Olds before I found the valet button and turned it off.

Isn’t this car under warranty?

Thank you for your response. My husband and I were notified it was covered under warranty. Thank the Lord.

Now would be a good time to read your owners manual so you will have a better idea of what is covered and for how long. I also suspect that you have not read the service schedule either. Note that the fluid changes are in miles and months which ever comes first.
