A 2017 should be under warranty, take it back to the dealership to fix ---

1. Ghost Busters is my first call 2. Is someone sitting on the key fob and accidently hitting the button to release the gate? 3. Is something sitting on the lever to raise it - if it is on the floor. ---

Have you actually seen it rise up on its own OP? Or do you discover it is up when you look at the car later, when you are sure before it was down? Ray has talked on the show before of a problem he had where ( I think )he’d find his car’s engine already started as he went to drive to work in the morning. . Turned out he’d accidentally pressed the remote start button on his fob while he was putting on his pants inside the house. ---

No way your spare key is getting pushed? It’s either unintentional activation, or some weird electronic glitch. ---

Radio interference ? Could be I suppose. You’d think there’d be pretty solid electronic security designed in with that system though, where random electrical noise which wouldn’t contain the proper security key-code wouldn’t be able to pop the trunk. But anything’s possible. Years ago I had a sewing machine that when a certain stitch was selected would open my garage door opener … lol
