I had a very similar problem with the trunk on my ford. Driving down the road, or when the stereo was really loud, it would just fly open, it actually got me into an accident! I replaced every part (latch, striker, power actuator, etc.)
Before you go doing the same, try to disconnect the wires to the actuator that pops the truck. If this fixes it, you know where your problem is. If not, I'm gonna say that its the latch that is defective and it was just a coincidence that this problem started at the same time as your other troubles.
Good luck.
