Trunk Lid Problems of Nissan Sentra

The paint on the roof, hood, and both left and right quarter panels of the vehicle is starting to come off towards the front of the roof nearest to the top of the windshield, the inside of the quarter panels closets to the trunk lid, and the front top part of the hood. Qm1 I think is the paint code. It's a 3-stage white. I don't believe the paint is supposed to already be peeling off of a 2016 vehicle. I have more photos if necessary.

Premature rust showing on trunk lid. Taken to three different certified Nissan dealers who have stated the rust isn't big enough to place an adult fist through and would not be covered under their corrosion warranty.

Consumer has a 1998 Nissan Sentra. When she went to remove items from the trunk, she sliced her hand sliced on the surface of the trunk lid in the back that connects to the back of the car. There was a sharp piece of metal that was unseen to the consumer. This cut felt like a razor blade cutting her hand. The metal was towards the center of the trunk. This happened on July 2, 2005. Dealer and manufacturer had not been contacted as of yet. There was no hospital visit. Owner had never noticed this before. Consumer did not have any information about the dealership available. Consumer said it was a scary thing to find hand cut like that.

The trunk door did not stay open when it was fully opened. The new torsion bar did not work and while loading the trunk, the lid fell on the passenger's head. No warnings in manual and no instructions for the open position.

Trunk fills with water everytime it rains, though there is no visible leak. In the winter when I realized this problem, I needed to retrieve my spare tire and it was frozen n inches of water, making for a very difficult removal (crow bar).

The trunk lid on my 2002 Nissan Sentra gxe is free falling and has injured many. The dealer states that my trunk is within normal operation for my vehicle. I consider it to be very dangerous. It has fallen on the top of children's head and shoulders causing much pain. I have investigated to discover that all the trunk lids of the 02 Sentra's that I tested are free falling. The 04 Sentra's do not have this safety flaw. I am very worried that this is going to seriously hurt someone. Since the purchase of my vehicle 5 children unloading backpacks from my trunk have been injured by the trunk lid falling on top of their head. I'm reporting the incident date as the purchase date because this has been happening since then. The injuries have occurred between then and now, 3/28/2004. Please note that my trunk has fallen many times without causing injury. I would say the attempt to injury number to be 300 times. This is very dangerous.

Trunk failed to open. Assembly loose and kept falling into valet mode. The first time I took it in they acted like I was stupid even though I tried to explain the problem to them. All they did was push it up out of valet mode and send me home. Problem persisted so I returned and told them that it must be loose or faulty. It was fixed that time and has been ok ever since.
