THR TRUNK WON'T OPEN WITH A MASTER OR SECONDARY KEY, NOR BY THE INTERIOR TRUNK SWITCH. THIS POSES A HAZARD BECAUSE WE HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS, LET ALONE WE CAN'T RETRIEVE ANYTHING FROM THE TRUNK OR LOCK THE CAR. ALL PARTS ARE ORIGINAL AND WE CONTACTED MAZDA OF KNOXVILLE, TN AND THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE US APPROX. $500. NO DAMAGE HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO THE CAR AND IT IS A DEFECT IN THE LOCKING MECHANISMS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
