The trunk lid hydraulic support devices are failing to hold the lid open allowing it to fall without warning. This started happening in the past six months and has resulted in minor injuries to both me and my wife (bumps and bruises). I purchased the car new in 2001 and it only has 36,000 miles. The car has always been kept in an enclosed garage and has never received any damage. I fear a more severe injury will result if this problem continues.
The hydraulic struts that hold open the trunk lid on my 2001 chrysler concorde lxi have failed resulting in a painful bump on the head for yours truly. I fear for the safety of anyone who uses the trunk for any purpose, especially family members. It seems to stay open ok during warm weather.
Engine failure at approx. 61,000 miles. Regular maintenances has always been up to date. Engine sludge. $6000 in damage with $9000 still owed on car!
