You will need to go to a dealer and have the key programmed to the car again...

There's a button inside the glove box, top left, that disables trunk. Push it and you should be good to go.

"There's a button inside the glove box, top left, that disables trunk. Push it and you should be good to go." >>> Thank you, very, very much. With your guidance I was able to fix the problem. I caused the problem myself by inadvertently pushing that button sometime.

See if you can get a battery charger to the front battery/fuse/relay section. if it clicks a little, push the trunk release button.. I recently did that, then was able to get a jump via batteries in trunk . Can be a real challenge....
