NHTSA complaint: 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY — STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY RIGHT FOREARM WAS CRUSHED WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR CLOSED ON IT AFTER ENCOUNTERING AN OBSTRUCTION (A LAWN CHAIR). I HAD PRESSED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE DOOR, REACHED AROUND TO PUT A DRINK IN A COOLER ON THE BACK SEAT FLOOR, THE DOOR RAN INTO A LAWN CHAIR AND REVERSED, CRUSHING MY ARM. SIX DAYS LATER, MY ARM IS STILL HORRIBLY BRUISED AND SORE. I HAD SOMEONE TAKE PICTURES TO DOCUMENT THIS ACCIDENT. THE DEALER DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE SIDE DOORS HAVE NO SAFETY SENSORS LIKE ON THE POWER LIFTGATE. THE SIDE POWER SLIDING DOORS SHOULD ALSO HAVE SAFETY SENSORS! IF IT HAD BEEN MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON, HE'D BE DEAD NOW! *TR
