Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 FORD FOCUS. I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE TRUNK WOULDNT LATCH SO I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND TRY IT AGAIN. THROUGH TIME IT EVENTUALLY WOULDNT LATCH SHUT AT ALL. I WAS THEN UNABLE TO LOCK MY TRUNK COMPLETELY. IN THE PROCESS OF ALL OF THIS SOMEHOW MY TRUNK HOOD GOT BENT. I ASSUME THAT SINCE THE LATCH WAS BROKEN,EVERYTIME I TRIED TO SHUT THE TRUNK IT BENT THE HOOD SLIGHTLY. TO FIX THE PROBLEM I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TRUNK MECHANISM AND INSTALL IT MYSELF. I QUOTED THE COST TO FIX IT AT A REPAIR SHOP, AND IT CAME UP TO OVER $100. DOING IT MYSELF SAVED ME ABOUT $20.
