I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC MECHANISM. I WAS HURT WHEN THE TRUNK WAS OPEN I SAT ON THE BUMPER TO PUT MY GOLF SHOES ON. AT THAT TIME THE HYDRAULIC AIR PUMP THAT HOLDS THE TRUNK OPEN FAILED AND FELL DIRECT ON BY BACK. FORGETTING THIS HAPPENED IT ALSO CLOSED ON MY HEAD CUTTING IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALL BEFORE A FINGER IS CHOPPED OFF. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHO I CAN RESPOND TO. STATIONARY
