| Description of the problem | After 1. 5 years and 15,000 miles, the latch of the trunk door went broken and the trunk cannot be opened in any way. I took it to the dealer to replace the trunk last. I was told this is a common issue on these vehicles due to the fact that hyundai uses plastic instead of metal latch. |
