Hi Brenda.
if it does this with the power lock button this would be a prob with the elec system ,or possibly a malfuntion of the trunk opening lever. if this happens with your remote then i would suspect a problem with the remote. an easy fix is simply go to the trunk unplug wire going to latch. but you will have to open your trunk with a key.
