NHTSA complaint: 1998 CHRYSLER SEBRING — LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK
TRUNK LID SUPPORTS (NEUMATIC SUPPORTS?) FAILED TO KEEP TRUNK OPEN, CAUSING THE TRUNK LID TO FALL CLOSED ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHILE I WAS SECURING THE SPARE TIRE WHILE PARKED AT A GAS STATION. CAR ONLY HAS 55,000K MILES. THE TRUNK LID CAME CRASHING DOWN AS IF IT HAD NO SUPPORT AT ALL. IF THIS IS A MODEL WIDE DEFECT, I THINK THIS HAZARD COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN. *AK
