Dear sir or madam, this past week we completed a purchase of a 2008 Chevrolet Impala form a local dealer in arnold, missouri. It is a model lt-1. After we got home I started to read the owners manual and examine the car. I eventually noticed that the trunk lid had no key hole. I checked an abbreviated manual we were given. It said I was to pull the rear seat back down to gain access to the trunk in case of emergency. They do not pull down in any way shape or form. I asked if I had come up with a dead battery and a child had crawled into the trunk that I was unloading and closed the trunk. How would I get the child out. No power, no key lock, no other access, unable to get to the battery to jump start the car. How do I save this child? the dealer called the manufacturer and the answer I got was I had opened a "can of worms". So what do I do?.

- on December 25, 2006, the contact was driving 35 mph when her child got out of the child safety seat and opened the passenger door. The contact immediately pulled over and secured her child. The contact stated that this was the first and only time that this has happened. The contact has since called thorobred Chevrolet from whom she purchased the car to find out why the car did not have child proof safety locks. The dealer tried to sell her a new car instead of providing her with information on how she could get some child proof safety locks for this car. The contact stated that this was the only dealership that she has contacted concerning the child proof locks . The contact stated that this was a safety issue, and she would like the child proof safety locks added to the car at no cost, or to be provided with a car that did have child proof locks.
