Consumer Description

THE TRUNK ON THE 2011 HONDA ACCORD DOES NOT STAY UP UNLESS YOU PUSH IT ALL THE WAY UP. I WAS LOADING A BAG INTO THE TRUNK AND THE TRUNK CAME DOWN AND HIT ME ON MY FOREHEAD. I RECEIVED A CUT FOREHEAD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT. MY WIFE WAS HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND I WAS HIT. IF A SHORT WOMAN/CHILD CAN NOT PUSH THE TRUNK ALL THE WAY UP, IT COULD COME DOWN AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. A MODIFICATION CAN BE MADE BY INSTALLING A DOOR HOLDING DEVICE AVAILABLE IN MANY OTHER VEHICLES. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO HONDA AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE ARE NO SAFETY WARNINGS ON THE TRUNK. *TR
