When it happened the noise was loud and scary. We are so glad we were not moving at the time.. Our children were sitting in the back seat and thankfully nothing flew inside the car from the trunk. It has been a pain to have to hold the trunk up while trying to place groceries in the back. We do not let our kids go to the trunk, it is extremely heavy for myself or husband to hold up. We dare not let them near it. Please warn other owners of this problem. Thank you.
