Narrative

First problem is the trunk door. About a week ago I was getting something out of my trunk and accidently hit the button and the door started to close so i tried to get away from it and somehow my arm got caught and there is absolutly NO sensor to stop the trunk from crushing my arm. Unforunately, i did have some injury to my arm from the trunk coming down and have pictures of the brusing on my arm. A sensor to stop the trunk from closing on a body part or anything for that matter needs to be better made or put in the vehicle. I took pictures of my arm days later because i was in to much pain to take them when it happened. It was not a fun injurying. Saturday night iced it, sunday had to have it elevated because it was so swollen, didnt take the picture until Wednesday when it finally had calmed down. There is bruising and swelling still on Wednesday. this happened July 9th Second problem i recently had an issue with my wiring i guess it was. Specifically it was reduced engine power message displayed and my engine stalled out on me. I was told that this is a common problem with Buick Enclaves, Chevrolet Traverses, and GMC Acadia's which is the car i have. Being that this is a common issue wouldnt this be something that would be concerned a RECALL? i dont know how recalls so im more curious about it. my car stalled out on me in the middle of traffic on July 16th
