What RSX owners report

Recent unknown or other complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.

THE TRUNK RELEASE RUBBER HAS MELTED INTO A STICKY TAR THAT STICKS TO ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT AND IS NOT PLEASANT TO DEAL WITH. SEEMS LIKE THE HEAT HAS SOME EFFECT. NOW MUST USE TRUNK RELEASE (INSIDE OR REMOTE) TO OPEN TRUNK.
