Yes, but it requires taking the back seat out.

2011 Hyundai Elantra trunk won't open but can hear mechanism working. The latches that allow back seats to be lowered are in trunk and there is no keyhole on trunk to open. How can we get into trunk?

Does your model have the anchor point for the child seats on the back shelf? If carefully remove each of the plastic cover you can get access to the seat release mechanism at the seat end.
Try this YouTube link to see if it helps. There should be an emergency trunk release on the inside of the trunk lid.

How to install front passenger seat on 2012 Hyundai elantra

Removing front seats isn't hard as long as your fitting seats that have the same rail mounts.
There are four bolts. One at each end of the sliding rails. Two front end and two rear end. You will probably have to slide the seat forward for the two rear bolts and back for the front bolts. Some makers might have small trim covers hiding the bolts.

How do I lower the back seat open to the trunk

If there are no latches or pulls on top or back of backrest to fold down, then take bottom cushion out first. Then you should see how upper part is removed-maybe bolted at bottom and lifted up and out after bolts are removed. Good luck.

Locked my keys in the trunk. The trunk release botton wont work. How do I get my truck open?

I am not familiar with this model, but most cars nowdays have a way to get into the trunk from the rear seat. Either it folds down or there is a passage way into the trunk from the arm rest in the center. If all else fails you can jump across the wire on the trunk button to activat it if the switch is bad, but I don't think I ever saw one that went bad!

Locked my keys in the trunk of a 2009 hyundai elantra

if the car has a fold down back seat fold it down and try to reach in the trunk there should be a safety pull to open it or if you can reach the keys you are done ! if it does not have a fold down seat the fastest and safest way is call a locksmith or AAA if you have the service you dont want to start using a coat hanger or a slimjim on that car you could break the plastic clips that hold the linkage rods in place in the door and do some damage to the car . hope this helps

Keys lock in trunk alarm will not allow trunk switch to lock

The solution is to pull out the back seat to get into the trunk. There are two bolts holding the bottom part of back seat (bolts located between bottom and top sections). Then pull out bottom section of back seat and you see the hinge for the top section, remove the bolts and then you can lift up and access the trunk. It's not that hard.
