Default Trunk latch

Twice in the past month and a half my trunk latch open light has indicate the trunk was unlatched...and it was although I know I had closed it both times. Anyone else with this issue and a fix?

Thanks.

Just so someone responded to ya, sorry, I do not know about any issue or fix. There is a sensor back there somewhere I am sure...

Bad ground, or bad latch, the sensor is built in the latch.

I forget what its called, but see if you can adjust the metal piece that the trunk latch connects to? I fixed mine by tightening that up - it was loose.
