try a new battery in key fob might be a bad key fob. The keyless start and trunk controls are handled through the BCM which sounds like it might be bad but to be sure lets doa CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon here is a video to show you how.

Here is a guide to walk you through how to replace the BCM which you can get a rebuilt-preprogrammed unit by searching google or ebay
