Broken Trunk Emergency exit handle
 

I popped my trunk the other day and I found this on the carpet trunk floor. It looks like the steel cable broke off. I have not seen or heard of this issue before. Just an heads up.
Car has 19K miles, 2013.

I will see if I can fix it with fishing line.

Leave it off as a weight reduction.
Just don't lock people in the trunk though.

If I have someone in my trunk, I dont want them to get out.

I think you are better off.

You probably got it caught on something in your trunk and pulled it off when you opened it. I opened my trunk one day after a grocery run to find a grocery bag hanging from that handle.

@USMC think of the new career opportunity that just opened up for you!

I have always found that if you tape the wrists to the ankles they can not get to the handle anyway.


Ummmmm.... I mean in theory.

There is a creepy line, and I think you just might have crossed it. Just saying'.

Happened to my car at about 30k miles. It's now in the spare tire well if and when I feel like repairing it.

In case you throw another hooker in the back you should know they can still pull the rear seat straps. You need to "break" those off too.

Happened to me too. My backpack caught it and yanked it off. I just leave the handle in the trunk, no real interest in getting it fixed.

You have to wonder exactly what chain of events happened to make them put it in there in the first place!

USMC ......... improvise ......!!

(yes, from the movie ..... ;))
