Description of the problem | About a week ago, i was unloading groceries from my kia sorento. The hatchback has a handle in order to pull down the hatchback. In this instance, i pulled it down a little bit and it felt like it had been jerked out of my hand and fell on my hand. I have some deep cuts and possibly a break in my hand. It felt as if the hatch once i let go continued as if it was pulled down. |
