problem #1

  • Manual transmission
  • 28,000 miles
My 2003 BMW 5 series car was stopped in traffic and rear-ended. The collision pushed the contents of the trunk into the back seat area by breaking the latches that hold the fold-down seats. Anyone in the back seat would have been pushed forward by the seat backs, and simultaneously held in place by the seatbelts.
