Consumer Description

THE TRUNK RELEASE SWITCH THAT IS LOCATED ON THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK IS BY USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE. THOUGH THIS DOES NOT POSE A DIRECT THREAT TO SAFETY IT IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT DUE TO THE NEED FOR THE KEY JUST TO OPEN AN UNLOCKED VEHICLES TRUNK. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY BEING ONE YEAR OLD WITH 50,000 MILES (SO THE WARRANTY IS OUT) AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS I PAY FULL PRICE. *TR
