This happened to me 4 times since I bought my car in August. I park my car in a parking lot for work and lock it before I walk into work. When I get off of work, I unlock my car, start the car, and find that my trunk is opened. I am 100% sure that I didn't touch my trunk AT ALL before work. It magically opened. I'm afraid to put valuables in my trunk now because of this. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me..? I have a 2009 IS250 RWD.

I thought about that too but I haven't put my keys in my pocket. If I did, I don't think there's anything that would hit the trunk button. I would've heard it pop and when it pops, its pretty damn loud. I clip my key on my pants so I don't think it could've happened.

Try keeping the valet switch in the lock position and see if it still does it. If so, something is really wrong.
Or else--change where you keep your key. Maybe in a jacket pocket.

hey, i thought i was the only one and blamed it on my subs somehow. But i have experienced the same problem. Randomly my trunk would be open its not noticeably open, just enough that it warns you that your trunk is open from inside.

Thank god I'm not alone on this. Is there a fix for this? I'm paranoid about putting my belongings in the trunk even though it's not noticeable. Too risky. Would it be a waste of time telling the dealers?
