I wish they could put a spring loaded cover over it or double push like BMW hood latches. Mine has opened by me pressing button reaching for e brake.

And to add to that, unless you are googling it or on a forum, you have no clue that there already is a repair procedure in place therefor people experience it and jump right on the NHTSA site to complain.
Heck, even on a forum, clearly there are people on here who still have no clue about it.

Agreed. Mine WILL NOT open with the button on the dash unless circumstances are just right. I think I had mine open by itself once. After that I greased all the connectors underneath the truck and haven't had it happen again.
