I may have a gremlin in my car.
 
Okay, I have two issues with my SRT.

First, I have had to clear out the garage door buttons because after I first set them the garage door would go up and down on its own. In the morning I would never know if the garage would be up or down. Since clearing the code from the car the garage door is back to normal.

Second, I have twice had the trunk open up while I was in drive. I think I may have triggered the key fob button accidentally but why would the car even allow the key fob trunk button to work while you are in drive?

I am not sure I understand. Do you think your garage door is interfearing with the car or the car is intefearing with the garage door opener? What brand of garage door opener do you have? I ask becasue a number of the sears craftsman door openers have mother board problems and the door opening and closing on its own is a sympton.

I can only pop my trunk in park.

There was a recall notice regarding the Key Fob awhile back...you may want to check with your dealer, although I can see how it could be causing this issue. (My trunk will not open, using the dash button, unless the vehicle is in park).....

Have to activate the auto pilot, then drop the rear seats, then crawl into the trunk and finally I pull the big yellow handle………as you can see I need to plan my stops…....well in advance!!

Well I think I overreacted. The garage door is still activating by itself so it must be something other than the car since I cleared the code. Also I probably accidentally popped the trunk prior to putting the car in drive and didn't notice until later.

Is something on garage door blocking electric eye when it gets down almost shut?

That's not a Sears Craftsman garage door opener is it? A certain model of the Sears Craftsman door opener has had a large number of mother board failures. One sympton is that the door opens and closes itself.
