Spring that holds trunk open is too weak, most noticeable with factory installed spoiler. Has hit me in the head several times. Dealer sugested prop-rod to hold trunk open. Trunk will not stay open if parked on small incline or slight headwind. If a child was reaching into the truck, it could severly injure there back.
