Problem overview

Some Acura TLX owners report experiencing issues with the trunk and gas lid opening unexpectedly. These problems may stem from a faulty trunk latch, which can cause the trunk to open while driving. Additionally, key fob interference from other electronic devices has been noted as a potential trigger for the trunk to pop open unintentionally. Accidental pressing of the interior trunk release button can also lead to unexpected openings. Furthermore, a malfunctioning trunk lid control module may require replacement to resolve the issue. Owners should also check for loose or disconnected trunk spring bars, as they can affect the trunk's operation. Regarding the gas lid, some owners report difficulties with it not opening, which could be due to a frozen mechanism or a mechanical issue with the release system. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problems, consulting a professional mechanic or contacting the dealership is recommended.
