Welcome!!!
The 2005 Sedan uses an electric membrain switch under the handle on the hatch. Earlier PTs used a mechanical lever. The switch may be bad. Do you live in a cold climate? Sometimes these type of switches act up in the cold.The rubber/plastic shrinks/ get stiff in the cold and the circuit could close opening the hatch.
If you have under 36,000 miles, you should still be covered by the factory warranty. Have a dealer check it out.
