trunk demon

Coda (new 300SDL) has a trunk demon. The slot is in the 3 o'clock position; however, on ocassion, it will just lock. In order to unlock, I have to lock the driver door and then unlock the driver door. Passenger front door key lock does not move. Key is original and key fits trunk.

Sometimes it will be days before it happens; sometimes minutes. I can usually open the trunk about 3 times and then POOF; it is locked.

The vacuum on the lock system never leaks all the way down ---- I think if there were a leak in the trunk; then all the vacuum would leak out. I'm guessing it has to be in the trunk pod........... but I haven't been checking the fuel filler door. I should start checking it.

Anyone else experienced this?
