Consumer Description
I RENTED A KIA SPORTAGE AND WHILE CLOSING THE TAILGATE THE TOP HINGED PORTION OF THE TAILGATE LIFTED UP AND THEN SLAMMED DOWN ON MY FINGER CAUSING A PAINFUL CONTUSION AND EXTENSIVE DISCOLORATION UNDER THE FINGERNAIL. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA THAT THE UPPER PORTION OF THE TAILGATE WAS HINGED OR I NEVER WOULD HAVE HAD MY HANDS LOCATED ANYWHERE NEAR THE GLASS PART OF THE TAILGATE. *TR
