On February 14, 2009 I incurred a scalp laceration that required 6 staple sutures when I hit my head with the rear hatchback door of my 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. I later learned from other motorists that this has happened to them in their SUV's. I would suggest a visible warning sticker be placed somewhere near the pull strap warning motorists when they lower their hatchback doors.

Two months after purchasing my Santa Fe, I had to take it back to the dealer for water a water leak. They stated that they repaired the leak by sealing the tail lights, however, there was water on the cargo cover in addition to the carpet. This repair does not seem to have corrected the problem as the rear cargo area of my vehicle was wet after it rained yesterday!.
