| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The trunk lid on my 2002 nissan sentra gxe is free falling and has injured many. the dealer states that my trunk is within normal operation for my vehicle. i consider it to be very dangerous. it has fallen on the top of children's head and shoulders causing much pain. i have investigated to discover that all the trunk lids of the 02 sentra's that i tested are free falling. the 04 sentra's do not have this safety flaw. i am very worried that this is going to seriously hurt someone. since the purchase of my vehicle 5 children unloading backpacks from my trunk have been injured by the trunk lid falling on top of their head. i'm reporting the incident date as the purchase date because this has been happening since then. the injuries have occurred between then and now, 3/28/2004. please note that my trunk has fallen many times without causing injury. i would say the attempt to injury number to be 300 times. this is very dangerous. *jb |
