Maybe you are experiencing a similiar problem to one that I had a year ago with my '05.
My remote trunk opening became intermittent. The doors were OK, but this may be related. The short story is that the dealer had to replace the Body Module which also involved reprogamming the keys because each body module has it's own factory preset code.
Have your dealer check into that as a possible malfunction.
A way that you might self-check this is to try remote opening of the trunk several times or more in a row. Do this while sitting inside the car and listen for a relay clicking sound that will be noticeable coming from the area of the console or righthand dash area. Each time the remote operates the BM you should hear the relay, but if you hear the relay and the trunk latch fails to operate, the BM is bad.
Hope this is helpful in solving your problem (and the dealer's).
