My car was broken into recently and the trunk of my 2003 nissan maxima GLE does not stay closed. While being broken into, the lever on the driver side door that opens the trunk was taken completely off so the trunk opens at random times while driving and I have to pull over to close it again often. Sometimes it opens as soon as I close my door. Does anyone know what the problem may be and how much it may cost to fix this?

It sounds like the damaged the latch itself. Also, there is a cable that runs to the trunk that opens it. Check the cable to make sure it wasn't damaged and sticking so the latch is always ready to allow the trunk to open. It could be bent.
