Per the Acura Integra Owners Manual I should be able to unlock the hatch by turning the key in the drivers door clockwise and holding it there for a few seconds. I hear the electric locks click, but I cannot open the hatch without using the key.

According to the manual, "If an unlocked hatch does not open, turn the master key clockwise past the unlock position. Open the hatch as you hold the key in that position.

If you need to use this procedure to open the hatch, your car may be developing a problem. Have the vehicle checked by your Acura dealer."

Has anyone else had this problem? Is a trip to the Acura dealer the necessary?

Sorry to bother y'all with such a boring/non-performance problem.
