1997 Honda Civic body & structure problems

My 75-year old mother has a 1997 honda civic ex. The trunk lid is constantly falling from the open position and this evening caught her right across the bridge of her nose, resulting in a deep laceration. Hondas are so cheaply made, that I see no way of adjusting the trunk lid. Perhaps I will file a lawsuit!!

I had car computer problems, air conditioning problem and paint on car body is cracking. These problems started to happen gradually, computer problems happened while I was driving on the road in the city; the paint started to crack for many years and the car looks miserable. The air conditioning broke down during a summer time, when I had no money to repair it and had to suffer due to the high heat weather. There is also a crack somewhere in the engine, not sure where, which can make things worse.
