Owners/service Manual problems of the 2018 Hyundai Elantra

These new cars do not have a manual release for the trunk anymore - making them extremely dangerous. The only way to open the trunk is by releasing the level on the very front driver's side or you must have the keys in your hand. So the car is parked and my son goes out with a friend to get a poster out of the trunk and shuts the door on his hand by accident. - or should I say the trunk came down on his hand and locked his hand inside! and now he can't open the trunk door - and neither can his friends because there is no manual release anymore! and they are all to young to know there is a release on the front driver's side. If I had not been close by - my son would have lost his little pinky finger. It was cut all the way down to the bone. When I called Hyundai to let them know - the first and last response was, "MA'am, could you calm down before we continue?" I said "sure. I am going to calm right down and call the press. " and I hung up and have already notified abc, nbc and the automotive news - this is so dangerous. How could anyone allow new cars to have no manual way to open the trunk anymore. This is not evolution of the auto industry. This is a huge strep backward and it could really prove to be harmful to many people out there. It's one thing to shut the door on your finger or hand - but a door that can not be opened . . . Why in the world would they come up with this faux pas? jill gatsby (310) 359-5164.
