I also had same problem in the first week. I locked and unlocked the car with key in door a couple times and then closed the boot while holding the latch button depressed. That did the trick. I have had no problem since and always use the key remote to open.

I worried about denting the chrome handle -or breaking it off and now push on the license plate to close boot. Works well and keeps fingerprints off the chrome.
