Some Volvo XC60 owners report experiencing issues with the trunk not opening using the inside button or key fob, even after multiple attempts. These problems may be temporarily alleviated by reassigning key profiles, but they often recur. Some users recommend manually pulling the trunk down into position with the hydraulics after using the key fob or the interior button. If the trunk still opens using both the fob and dash switch, the issue may be related to the exterior tailgate handle, which might require replacement or manual activation via the metal tab switch under the rubber push pad. Additionally, some owners report hearing a mechanical whirring noise when pressing the key fob, indicating that the latch has disengaged, yet the trunk remains closed, necessitating manual intervention. Furthermore, challenges with the tailgate not closing automatically and partially reopening have also been noted. These experiences highlight that trunk opening issues in the Volvo XC60 can arise from various mechanical faults and may require troubleshooting steps such as manual intervention, key profile adjustments, or handle replacements for effective resolution.
