Consumer Description

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE TRUNK LID WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE TRUNK LID, LATER HOWEVER THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL AFTER REMOVING THE QUARTER PANELS AND REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THERE WERE NO EMERGENCY RELEASE LATCHES INSIDE THE TRUNK. THE DEALER INSTALLED TRUNK RELEASE LATCHES AND THE TRUNK BEGAN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED WITH OR WITHOUT THOSE TRUNK LID LATCHES. UPDATED 03/09/06. *JB
