“I am reporting what I consider to be a safety defect in the 2001 Buick lasabre. Tonight my husband's Buick lasabre was parked on an uphill slope. He popped the trunk and it went up when he popped it (as it is supposed to do). However, as I then went to put a package within the trunk, the trunk lid crashed down on my head, instead of locking in a upward position as it should have. I still have quite a headache from the impact. Evidently this is not an infrequent occurrence; my husband said that he feels there is a defect in the mechanism which should hold the lid up. …”
