So far I think I have seen a couple of potential workarounds posted.

1. Have the dealer code the car so that the trunk will never open when the car is locked
2. Have the dealer disable the kick-to-open feature (at least I'm assuming that is a dealer code option?)

Anything else that can be done? I know neither of the above are ideal as we lose functionality in either case.
You will more than likely not have the issue...this is only happening on a handful of vehicles and is a pain for those owners....
