    I've had this same problem after shopping and cramming groceries in the trunk. After about 100 different attempts after I got home it finally started to work again.

    The other day my power steering warning light came on on thehighway.The car was still driving fine.After we parked and ate lunchcame out it was off, the car was still fine. The next morning when Istarted it I had a squealing noise like a fan belt, but it went awayafter about 1/2 a block, now a few days later it is getting much worseand and stays on quite awhile. Does the power steering have a belt? andcan this be fixed without replacing the whole unit?

Try to apply pressure from the top of the trunk and push short burst while using the key, If this doese not work you can try to enter from the rear seat taking out the bolts for the rear back rest.

There is a relay in the rear fuse block for the trunk release. marked trunk relay #36. It is marked on the under side of the lid. If you knew how they worked you could open it by jumping pin 30 to pin 87 in fuse box. on the side of the relay is a diagram of what pins are what . This system uses an electronic control module called ( the BCM ) body control module .When you push the inside release button , that sends a signal to the BCM ,then the BCM activates the relay opening the trunk . Well that won't help ,you won't believe where the fuse box is ! Fuse Block - Rear
In the rear compartment, behind the left wheel well. You could jump the wire at the BCM that goes to the relay. Can't you pull down one of the rear seats to gain access ?

Hello. The electronic opener needs new battery. Change it and it will open. The dealer can get you a new key. Get the Vehicle Identification Number & Bill of sale or good proof it is your car and they will help you get a key.

Try pressure on the trunk cover with the key turning the locking mech. Also spray loosening oil in it as well. If this doesn't work u might have to remove the back seat. Check fuses befor u take this step or drilling it out. Hope this helps.

Hatch won't open on 2004 Malibu Maxx

Try pushing the trunk release and turning the key in the lock at the same time.
It sounds like the electric lock has not released for what ever reason.
You should hear the trunk release relay when you push the remote.
