I had a similar problem and it was one of my keys. It was unlocking the door, but not the frunk. I was able to clear it using my spare key. I believe your car does have emergency release cables. On the front and rear you have to pull back the fender insulation. Not sure thats what it is called but turn the front wheels to get some room, remove the pop outs and pull back the plastic on drivers side, up
Close to the bumper. The cable can be reached Same sort of thing in rear, same side of car. Before doing all that though, use your key to manually lock then unlock the car and see if that resolves the problem.
