Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Well, its an old car yes and haven't had any severe malfunctions except on pretty much every latch mechanism on the car. currently, the trunk does not open. the latch is broke and will not open with key placed in it or with release button. to open it, i have to lay the back seats down and crawl into the trunk and activate the emergency release manually. to add to the mess, both rear doors will open but under no circumstances will close again. i've had to rig a wire to pull the latch into its locked position to keep both doors closed. (resulting in the only 4 door coupe i know of!) *tr
