Narrative

Trunk opening and closing without warning. First incident occurred when sunroof was open and wouldn't close. Trunk would randomly open even when the car was parked and locked. Trunk opened when car was off and parked and pinned my 5 year old son between the trunk and our garage door. Trunk closed without warning and almost decapitated my husband and son Additionally, the door handles on the exterior of the car are constantly closing on our hands, pinching fingers and hands.
