NHTSA Complaint #10227965 — 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA

DEAR SIR OR MADAM, THIS PAST WEEK WE COMPLETED A PURCHASE OF A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA FORM A LOCAL DEALER IN ARNOLD, MISSOURI. IT IS A MODEL LT-1. AFTER WE GOT HOME I STARTED TO READ THE OWNERS MANUAL AND EXAMINE THE CAR. I EVENTUALLY NOTICED THAT THE TRUNK LID HAD NO KEY HOLE. I CHECKED AN ABBREVIATED MANUAL WE WERE GIVEN. IT SAID I WAS TO PULL THE REAR SEAT BACK DOWN TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE TRUNK IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THEY DO NOT PULL DOWN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. I ASKED IF I HAD COME UP WITH A DEAD BATTERY AND A CHILD HAD CRAWLED INTO THE TRUNK THAT I WAS UNLOADING AND CLOSED THE TRUNK. HOW WOULD I GET THE CHILD OUT. NO POWER, NO KEY LOCK, NO OTHER ACCESS, UNABLE TO GET TO THE BATTERY TO JUMP START THE CAR. HOW DO I SAVE THIS CHILD? THE DEALER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE ANSWER I GOT WAS I HAD OPENED A "CAN OF WORMS". SO WHAT DO I DO? *TR
