Your trunk latch isn't holding the trunk open properly—it opens slowly and then closes on its own. You took it to the dealer, but they didn't diagnose or repair the issue, and Toyota confirmed there's no recall for your vehicle. The trunk may need a new latch assembly or adjustment to keep it open when you want it to.
