FAQS
My Trunk Still Won’t Open – What Should I Do?
First, try unlocking your car again. Your car has to be in park and unlocked for the trunk to be opened. This safety feature prevents the trunk from opening while the car is moving. If your car is unlocked but still won’t open, there may be an issue with the trunk touch button. Take your PT to the nearest Chrysler shop to receive further assistance.
Is there Emergency Access to My Trunk?
In an emergency, you can access the hatch area from the inside of your car by Lowering the rear seats and crawling into the rear of the car.
