Major oops! Tried to back out of garage with brand-new Grand Cherokee trunk OPEN

This is embarrassing. 8) I have a BRAND-NEW Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. I was racing out the door to a football game — loading chairs, blankets. The phone rang, etc., etc., then I hopped into the Jeep and backed out of the garage — with the trunk still open. There's a small dent from the garage door apparatus and the paint chipped (about the size of a silver dollar). The worst part is the trunk will automatically open, but not close automatically — right before it does, it pops back open again. I can close it manually.

My question is this: Have any of you had trunk repairs like this? Any ballpark ideas of what it'll cost to fix?
 
Welcome to Jeepz.com. I think JPNinPA is right, pics may help.

Sounds like something it bent out of shape slightly. How hard did you hit the garage - something like a light tap, or did you really gun it?
 
man that hurts, if it helps when you get my age, you expect things like that to happen, not be suprized when it does
