Default Rear hatch opens on its own. Need advice
When I shut my car off the rear hatch opens automatically. Sometimes it opens while I'm driving or just pull the key out of the ignition. Would anyone know why this is happening ?

you don't state year ect ...
Do you have the hatch release on the key ?
Might be the key switch is touchy
I've not heard it opening while driving though
