Rain issues
My 2017 C7 is almost 2 months old and I have had 2 rain-related issues.
Last week, on a rainy day, I opened the rear hatch to put in my computer bag, closed it like normal, got in, started the car I got a ping telling me to look at the dash and the rear hatch open indicator was on. Got out and opened and closed the hatch again but the indicator stayed on. I planned on taking the car to the dealer the next morning but when I started it the next day, no indicator!
It rained hard yesterday and when I started the C7 this morning to go to work, the radio didn't work. No volume. When I cranked the volume up with the **** or with the steering wheel button the volume indicator said "Phone Volume" not radio or media.
After work, the radio controls and volume worked as normal.
I plan on taking the car to the dealer but I was curious if anyone else had seen either of these?

I have a 2017 convertible but had a similar trunk not closed message. I was on a slight hill opened the trunk and when I closed it the pull down mechanism seemed to relax slightly after closing the lid. The engine was running and I proceeded to my destination with the trunk open display. I shut down the engine and looked for anything that would inhibit closing the trunk lid, found none closed the trunk and the problem has not resurfaced.
When it was in for its 500 mile oil change, I had the dealer look for the problem but they found nothing.
