Tl the contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Cts. While attempting to close the trunk manually, it rapidly closed down. The contact was concerned for their safety and stated that it could cause injuries. Due to the distance and the contact's handicap, the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 47,500.
This incident was the first of 5 times that the trunk lid, when completely opened, blew shut on my head. My boyfriend has been hit 2 times. When it's open all the way, it's at an approximate 90 degree angle and the least amount of wind will cause it to blow shut. The trunk lid itself is extremely heavy and I'm fairly strong. I actually have scar tissue on my head from being hit. I didn't seek medical attention but there were a couple of times that I was almost knocked out. I love my car and would get another Cadillac Cts in a heartbeat if it wasn't for this problem.
