Consumer Description

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD) THE TRUNK LID WILL NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION, IT IS EXTREMELY HEAVY AND HAS DROPPED DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY ON BOTH ME AND MY HUSBAND NUMEROUS TIMES. IF IT FALLS ON A CHILD OR FRAGILE PERSON IT WILL CERTAINLY KILL THEM GIVEN THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUNK LID. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF HAVE RECEIVED LHEAD LACERATIONS FROM THE TRUNK LID FALLING
