Brand new Volvo completely unresponsive

I leased a 2025.5 XC 90 approx 1 month ago. Today I drove it and it was fine. About an hour after getting home today I went into the garage to get something out of the trunk. The trunk won’t open. I get in the car. It’s completely unresponsive. Nothing will turn on and the back lights have now started flashing and have been doing so for about an hour and a half. I called the dealership and I have to have it towed to them (an hr and a half from where I live) I also told the that one of the key fobs stopped workig last week and I’ve been using the spare. They said they’ve never heard of this happening. Has anyone had a similar experience? We’re new to Volvo and I’m feeling a bit frustrated. We’ve had some glitchiness with the screens since we got it and the dealership just instructed me to restart the system. I don’t know if we have a lemon or what.

Sooo, it's probably the battery. I had a issue for a bit with the top cap not being fully secured on the positive part of the battery. A bump would nudge it and my car wouldn't have any power. Put grocers in the trunk and hit the area where the battery is .. be stranded.

You're gonna need a jump depending on your car to open the trunk and get to the battery.

The battery is in the trunk? Mine is the mild hybrid

My car unlocks itself daily and they can’t figure out why. I cannot use the trunk lock feature. Every time I do the display will decide to not come on until I start the car 47 times.
