Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: For the most part i am very statified with the 2005 hyundai elantra, 4 door sedan. however, the locking mechanism inside the trunk lid can cause head injury. i hit my head numerous times on it, and i think the manufacturer needed to to take action redesign the inner locking mechanism so it was out of range of a person bending into the trunk and bending back out of the trunk area. i am a cauctous person, but it hurts when the lip of the inner locking mechanism of the trunk hits the head. i don't have exact dates of the particular incidents, but can generally say i have hit my head numerous times between 4/2006 to the present. *ak
