Dt*: the contact stated unless the trunk was raised all the way, the trunk closed so fast resulting in hitting several family members in the head but no one was seriously injured. The contact tried to catch the trunk before it slammed shut which resulted in the contact's finger being pinned in the trunk. The contact had an x-ray performed and the results displayed ligament damage. The dealership was contacted and referred the contact to the manufacturer. *ak
