broken latch
you need to go through the back seat and pull trunk trim (unscrew it)then you can pop the latch from the back side
if you dont know how to do this you could take it to a shop

RE: Trunk Problems

If i had to guess I think your lock cylinder rod has come loose from the cylinder. Crawl through the back seat and remove the trim panel and check it out.
