Consumer Description

TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON THAT ALLOWS TRUNK TO BE OPENED MELTED. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE RUBBER BUTTON TO MELT AND RENDER THE RELEASE OF THE TRUNK INOPERABLE. CAR WAS NEVER SUBJECTED TO CHEMICALS OR UNDUE HEAT. SOMETHING CAUSED THE BUTTON TO MELT AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD IF NOT REPLACED? THE CAR IS KEPT YEAR ROUND IN NEW JERSEY AND IS SUBJECT TO SEASONAL CHANGES BUT NOT IN A YEAR ROUND HOT CLIMATE SUCH AS THE SOUTHERN STATES. THE SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO HELP WITH THE REPLACEMENT COST. THE MECHANIC THERE WHO LOOKED AT IT SAID HE SEES IT ALL THE TIME.
