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.

Daniel was a consummate professional. When an appointment prior to mine ran long, he let me know as soon as he could with an updated ETA. He walked me through everything, was quick, efficient, and very friendly. I appreciate his work so much! Thank you!

Toyota Prius V L4-1.8L Hybrid - Brake Rotor/Disc Replacement (Front) - Frederick, Maryland

Let me start by saying I don't take kindly to shops trying to take advantage of me. I was told by a local shop that I've been to a few times that I needed front brake pads and rotors and rear rotors. The price they quoted me was a bit high so I called a few other places. My last resort was YourMechanic.com. Their original quote for the front and rear pads and rotors was very reasonable and I was ready to have the service done. I scheduled an appointment and within a few minutes received a phone call asking to reschedule since the mechanic was taking time off. I was totally fine with that, and when he showed up on the scheduled date; he informed me that I didn't need rear rotors so I'd be saving around $300. Granted the service didn't get done until today, I'm still very happy with what I've paid and I couldn't have asked for a more polite and hardworking individual. Brian is very professional, doesn't slack off, arrives either early or on time and gets right to work.

Toyota Prius V L4-1.8L Hybrid - 35,000 Miles Maintenance Service - Houston, Texas

Travis is a very nice young man. He arrived early, went about his job with diligence and good cheer. Upon completing the job, he gave me a run down on my car's condition, how long he thought my air filter would last, and made some suggestions for the future. Thank god I never have to go to a dealership again.
