What is the Trunk Latch all about?

The trunk latch is the mechanism that holds a trunk closed. When the trunk latch is engaged, the trunk can only be opened by a handheld remote or a key.

In most newer cars, a trunk latch works much the same as a door latch. Generally, two components make up the trunk latch: the U shaped anchor, which sits in the frame of the vehicle, and the latching mechanism in the lid to the trunk. Either or both pieces could fail, causing the trunk latch to malfunction. The trunk latch can be triggered with the same handheld remote that opens the car door.

Older cars generally use a cylinder system that can be opened with a key. This system operates using a cylinder and striker, and the key that is used generally matches the door locks. The latch that holds the trunk locked is located in the striker.

Keep in mind:

While this may not seem like a serious issue, if the trunk latch opens suddenly in traffic, debris could be blown out of your trunk and into the path of other vehicles.

How it's done:

The trunk latch is verified to be needing replaced
The defective trunk latch is removed
The new trunk latch is installed
The inside trim panel is reinstalled to complete repair
The trunk is checked for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If you suspect that the trunk latch has failed, or is about to fail, call our expert mechanics to diagnose the trunk latch. There are different components that make up the trunk latch, so it’s important to know which part is failing before repairs are begun.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Trunk Latch?

Trunk won’t stay closed
Trunk has to be slammed hard to get the latch to engage
Latch comes open if the car is jostled, such as hitting a bump or stopping suddenly

How important is this service?

While it may not be a huge deal to the driver, it will be a huge deal to anyone who ends up with a trunk load of groceries in their path if items are blown out of an open trunk. Any items secured in the trunk may not be safe.

Dodge B2500 V8-5.2L - Car or steering wheel shakes when braking - Buckeye, Arizona

Peter knows his mechanics, I had originally had an appointment with another mechanic with your mechanic.com, but he niether called nor showed up on the scheduled date. I had Peter come out previously on an unrelated call regarding the A/C on the same vehicle. I would have requested him regarding this matter, which was a front brake problem, and actually did so, but he wasn't available 'til Thursday of that week. I had rented a car for a week so I settled for another mechanic that the company said would suffice that had 22 years of experience. I booked an appointment with that mechanic, who, as I had previously stated, didn't bother to call or show up. The next day I called your mechanic to request Peter at soonest availability. Peter showed up early on the appointed date, inspected the issue regarding my front brake caliper, and gave me a new estimate regarding the appropriate repairs. Mechanics that are honest and trustworthy are few and far between, and I consider myself fortunate to have met Peter, as I have met countless unethical and dishonest mechanics in my 52 years of existence.
