## Narrative
The auto close feature on the Tesla Model X can quite dangerous. I’ve been hit by it unexpectedly closing several times.  The most recent time,  the rear trunk closed on me while I was taking out my grocery bag out of it. It hit my forehead, and  I got a major bump. I ask NHTSA to investigate if there’s a manufacturer defect, so us Tesla owners are not further injured.
