Trunk release issue
So my electronic truck release (both the dashboard switch and pressure pad above the license plate) have been functioning intermittently. Sometimes I would only hear a click and the trunk wouldn't open.
I had the car serviced today at Uftring Chevrolet in Washington, Il and they found the problem. This spring when I jump started the car I apparently snagged the manual trunk release when replacing the carpet. It was pulling the handle just enough that it caused the electronic release to be overridden. I felt like an idiot but I'm happy it wasn't a serious issue.
They also did the airbag recall (a software update) while I waited. Thanks to Uftring for the fine work.

There is a pressure pad above the license plate you can open the trunk with? Huh, did not know that. Guess I didn't know about the manual trunk release either. I DO know about the hidden key slot above the tag.

Sounds like the appropriate time to remind everyone that there is a manual door release handle on the floor on the left side of the driver's seat, and on the same area on the right side of the passenger seat.
