Accent 4-cyl

  • 38,900 miles
My back seats were folded down. Before I went to work with the car off and at rest, I went to fold them up, grabbing the small hole that holds the latch that attaches to the back. My right index finger slid across the apparently sharp, uncovered metal edge of this hole. The top couple millimeters of the tip of my finger were sliced off by this metal edge. I had to go to the doctor. I needed a tetanus shot. It was a judgment call whether I needed stitches or not but the doctor gave me sutures. I may lose this part of my finger - we will see.
