My car was parked in my parking spot at my town home. I went to start it and the battery was completely dead. I went to release the trunk lid and the trunk would not open it operates on the battery. There is no ket slot to open the trunk. I contacted consumer affairs at Nissan and they agreed there is no key slot on the trunk. When asked them how to get in my trunk to get my battery cables and my emergency kit(whick came with the car). I was told the only way to open the trunk was to release the back rest on the rear seat and crawl in the trunk and pull the the release on the trunk lid. When asked is there a fix for this problem I was told no. I am a man of 70yrs. Old with a bad back how am I supposed to crawl in a trunk. As I stated the car came wit an emergency kit what good is it if I can't get to it. To me this a very dangerous problem. If were on the side of a road when this happend when cars are doing 60 to 70 mph I could get hurt or killed I would appreciate some one looking into this dangerous problem.
