Trunk will not open
when i hit my key FOB to unlock the trunk i can hear it latching and unlatching but it will not open.The button inside the glove box does the same thing.Can i remove the back seats to gain entry to see what's going on or is there another way?

your trunk release actuator cable is broken..... you have top buy an actuator to get the cable..... there is a vin break on the design.... go to a dealer to buy a new one.... there is a emergency release cable for it in the back seat until you get a new one

ok so next part of the question my key FOB doesn't work had it open a couple times with the emergency release behind the head rest. my question is if the manual release cable behind the head rest broke to anyone know a third way to get it open. just got my new cable to replace the broken one but now the head rest release doesn't work, anyone know another way????

i had this same exact problem... wouldnt open with my fob but i could use the manual release under passenger rear headrest... how i fixed mine was i took off the carpet on under the trunk lid so you can see the small cable that actuates the release mechanism. indeed it was broke so i cut up and bent a coat hanger to fit instead of buying a whole new assembly. been working fine ever since.
