WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SLOPE, THE PASSENGER DOORS, WHEN RELEASED CLOSE AT TREMENDOUS FORCE. THERE IS NO STOP OR SLOWING MECHANISM IN PLACE ON THE DOORS ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN RELEASED. THE DOOR ON OUR VAN WAS CLOSED BY ONE OF OUR CHILDREN. AT THAT TIME, THE TWO YEAR OLD WAS STANDING NEAR THE DOOR AND WHAS STRUCK BY THE EDGE. THIS RESULTED IN A FOREHEAD LACERATION AND HER BEING KNOCKED TO THE GROUND. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF SHE HAD BEEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE, OR IF ANY PART OF HER BODY WERE IN THE DOORWAY, SHE WOULD HAVE SUFFERED A SEVERE OR EVEN FATAL CRUSH INJURY. THIS DEFECT COULD BE EASILY REMEDIED BY THE MANUFACTURER THROUGH THE ADDITION OF A SLOWING MECHANISM ON THE TRACK OF THE DOOR OR EVEN AN AUTOMATIC STOP SIMILAR TO THOSE IN USE WITH GARAGE DOORS. WHEN CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED, THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN LESS INTERESTED IN HEARING MY CONCERNS. GIVEN THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO OWN MINIVANS DO SO BECAUSE OF SMALL CHILDREN, THIS DESIGN DEFECT IS A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN. *AK
