Why does my Hyundai trunk not open with key fob?
Hopefully the reason why your Hyundai trunk won’t open with the key fob is because of the valet lock being activated; if not, then unfortunately, you might have an issue with the lock mechanism itself and will most likely need replacing and can cost up to $200 to fix. ??

What to do if your trunk latch fails?
In 2000 it became mandatory all cars 2001 and up have an emergency release handle inside in case someone gets locked in the trunk. Until the latch fails theres no way to know if it will still work (possible extra mechanism?) but you could tie a rope to it and run that into the cabin and tuck it beside the back seat.
Is there a way to open the trunk manually?
Dealer fixed it but says this is a common defect & that there is no way to open trunk manually from the inside. When it fails again, my valuables will be trapped until it can be repaired. I contacted Hyundai & they basically told me to “live with it”.
