After returning from the grocery store, the trunk release from the key, nor the inside dash release would open the trunk. We have been using the mechanical key. Driving home one night, I noticed the third brake light wasn't working. After testing all the fuses, and researching online, I discovered the problem was the wiring harness that feeds the break light and had broken. Where the wire feeds from under the back window deck into a rubber boot, then in to the trunk lid. Three of 6 wires are broken in half at the same location. This is all over forums online that this is a known issue and that the opening and closing of the trunk causes these wires to break since the radius is very tight when closing the trunk lid.
