Default stupid trunk opening issue

Sounds like the latch is sticking or possibly bent. Have you tried some lubricating spray on the latch mechanism and opened and closed the trunk several times to "work in" the spray?

okay ill make it sound simpler, if I go take my keys and stand at the trunk if I hit the button on my remote twice the latch opens, A. I can pull it up right away and itll open up, B. wait and after about a second the latch like clicks back over and closes , and I have to do step A, again
