I brought it to the dealer in 12/2022 and showed it to them, and it had been failing for some time. It would not open using the latch next to the drivers seat. That just did nothing. The guy at the dealer told me that there was no recall and it would cost $800 just to diagnose the problem. I can\u2019t afford that so I didn\u2019t have it done. It completely doesn\u2019t work now. You can\u2019t open it. If you are lucky and get it open then you can\u2019t close it. It is barely closed right now. Light on panel inside the car is on saying the trunk is open. If I am driving and hit a bump it could fly open. The guy at the dealer ordered the part and told me to use painters tape to keep it shut in the meantime like I know what I am doing. It will cost me $400 to fix\u2014I am on Social Security and don\u2019t have $400\u2013and I don\u2019t have access to my spare tire if I get a flat tire. There was a recall for this exact part for 2016 Hyundai Elantras but it didn\u2019t include my VIN number. Sounds to me like it should have. The dealership sent me on my way with my trunk still just barely closed. Use painters tape. Couldn\u2019t even help me secure it. I need to figure out out how to secure it on my own as I need to drive in the highway. Don\u2019t know what happens if I need the spare. I don\u2019t know why it wasn\u2019t included in the original recall. There were other 2016 Elantras. I am basically on my own on this. Nobody has paid a bit of interest. Dealer told me to call Hyundai. Hyundai told me to call dealer. Who\u2019s on first? All I know is I feel like I am paying this $400 but I\u2019m going to have to not pay something else\u2014like groceries, cable, gas for the car, etc. I don\u2019t understand. Why are some covered and some not?","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"ELANTRA","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
