Default Convertible trunk acting up

When I push the button on the key fob or on the dash to open up the trunk, it sometimes works fine. Other times it won't open up the trunk at all. Much of the time it opens, and then immediately closes again with no delay. The dealership says this is a known issue, and the "fix" is to cycle the ignition off/on twice to reset it. Anyone else have this issue with their trunk or hatch?

No issues on my 16 convertible but must admit I seldom use the fob, and even fewer times the dash.. always popping with the release at the rear of the car.. so now you've got me curious.. will start to use the fob/dash more often..

Is it the weathersripping holding it closed, or is the electronic lock not firing open?
