| Description of the problem | Just in front of the shifter and behind the center storage console, metallic trim on plastic peeled up leaving a razor sharp edge. I did not see this defect. As i pulled my keys out of the console, the smallest finger on my right hand was badly sliced, causing quite a lot of bleeding. Had i been driving at the time, this could have caused an accident because of the surprise, pain, amount of blood and the distraction caused by those things. Fortunately, i had just parked at my home and was able to run inside and stanch the blood flow. |
