Anyone else'* trunk release go "eeeh ewwww", if you know what I mean? It'* kinda loud. Would a lube job help? It always works, and doesn't make any sound that would make me think it'* weak. It'* done it since I've had it. Just kinda loud.

Lube job. On the solonoid and the latch mechanism.

Mine makes a grinding noise, and doesn't release, so I'm guessing something is majorly messed up. Haven't checked it out, but will have to soon. I hate working overhead with the trunk lid. I'm scared of giving myself a broken nose if I lose my balance, as I'm prone to do

I'll probably turnaround and sit in the trunk with my legs hanging out to do this.

mine makes that EXACT same sound! sometimes it pops open and sometimes it doesn't. needs to be lubed.

I tore into the stupid plastic mechanism, and I see how it works... or fails to work, either way. I still don't understand why it makes a grinding noise, though. Hmm. They really don't want you to tear these plastic things apart. Was a son of a gun to crack open. I figured I might as well waste the time doing that and trying to make it work. I was planning on getting a new one, anyway. For now, duct tape holding together a grinding noise! Woowoo.

The things we do for amusement

Hmm...mine makes more of a "WEH UHhh" noise

Mine is more of a Duh-Uh. The 'Uh' depends on how long you hold the release button. Mine works everytime. I don't like using the key, because it is more of a "Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't" ordeal. Not sure why.. but it is certainly annoying.

Works every time. Sounds like it should. Not disturbing the parts that work well.
