WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH ALL THE DOORS LOCKED, THE HATCHBACK OPENED WITHOUT ANY PROMPT FROM THE KEY FOB OR DOOR LATCH. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING, SO I WAS ABLE TO USE THE DOOR LATCH TO CLOSE THE BACK HATCH. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER, THE HATCH UNLATCHED TO OPEN, BUT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND AS SOON AS I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE HATCH STOPPED OPENING AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A PARKING LOT TO FULLY CLOSE THE HATCH AGAIN.
