When loading groceries in the trunk of the SUV, I had keys in my pocket and my 8 year old was leaning over in the trunk putting the bags in the back- her feet were under neath the back of the car and the trunk started closing bc I was within range for the handless entry (where you wave your foot under the rear of the car for the trunk to open) the trunk started closing with her leaned into the back of the vehicle. . . I tried to grap the tailgate to get it to stop and open back up, it didn't!!!! if I had not of acted so quickly and grabbed her, the trunk would have shut on her! this is a major danger and could not have turned out ok!!! there needs to be a safety feature where if you touch it tailgate it stops closing and opens back up.
