Trunk latch issue

[JenneyD]

Anyone have issues with their trunk closing? I keep temporarily fixing it but today I had to go through the back seat to get it to open lol Any thoughts? Replace the latch? Just curious if anyone else has had this happen...

Thanks!

That has to be a warrenty issue. Call your dealer, It probably needs to be adjusted. Thats on them. Good luck !

I keep adjusting it myself but it isn't a permanent fix....I suppose I should call...I just don't like other hands on my pony...I'm very over protective

Does it not latch or release with the key or fob? I would have the dealer look at it since you only had her for a little bit.
I would wait for it while they look at it. Could be a tsb or just a fluke.
I hate hearing this, the little things ate what bothers me. Best of luck JD.

It takes a few minutes to close it...but not consistently. Yesterday was the first time it wouldn't open on the release. I went in through the back seats and pulled the safety release cord . Oddly it doesn't bother me much... biggest annoyance is having to find the time to drive to the dealer. Quirky Fords...gotta love em!

Like when you go to close the trunk it doesn't stay closed? You have to keep opening and closing it until it finally closes correct?

The latch won't accept a close...it's an adjustment thing. I keep fixing it but only temporarily. I play a gambling game everytime I go to open the truck to guess if it's gonna work or now It's kinda fun...but not really

Mine does the same thing except that it rattles whenever I open the trunk. If it doesn't close I hit the trunk button again and it will close, for me it isn't a big inconvienance since I almost never open up my trunk.

Sounds like a electrical issue. Tue latch is momentary, so it releases then go back to latch. If it is staying open, that means thsy it is getting hung up or not resetting.
I would open the trunk ( if possible ) and press the trunk release on the fob. You will hear the latch do its thing. If not, then possibly fob battery is dead .....unlikely or there is a glitch in the matrix.

If you are gonna be at the commack show we will be there to check it out.

I am definitely going to be at the Commack show!
I really don't think it's electrical thou...because I fiddle with the latch itself and it works....

I like the Matrix

Our cars are a matrix of electrical. My car is a piece of shit, but I will still bring it out on the 25 or whatever the date is
