This same issue happened on Lexus ES 330 a few months ago. The trunk wouldn't lock shut then randomly it would lock for a while. Replaced the trunk lock assembly and it works every time.

So this thread is 10y old and the newest reply a yr old, but can't find anything closer.

I am in between.... mine is latched, but not completely, and won't disemgage. So basically it is loosely closed.

Can't get the back panel off bc it won't open, and the small panel opening doesn't tell me anything wout destroying the weather barrier.

Can't lock the car by remote and had to turn off the dome lights. Lol

Just want to figure out how to open the trunk at the moment...

I'm having the same issue
I just started having this issue today on my 2008. I took the trim piece off the back where the Toyota emblem is located so that I could plasti dip it. When I put everything back together the lift gate won't fully close and won't open. Everything is back the way it came from the factory. Were your able to find a solution? Thank you

This is the cause.
The problem with rear hatch latching shut and than a second or 2 later unlatching is because of the switch on the assembly. For some reason the switch thinks its in the open position and causes the actuator to open even when it should be closed. The fix is to buy a new latch assembly or try to fix this switch , but it is most likely wore out and needs to be replaced.
