| Description of the problem | 2008 dodge caravan rear door the automatic door was beeping it was closing after i pushed the button. I dropped my keys and reached down to get them forgetting the door was closing. The door came down on my right arm just below the should causing a large bruise. The door continued closing after it hit me. This is the 2nd incident i have had with the van since i purchased it dec. 31, 2008. The other time it was a similar incident i dropped something and the door hit me quite hard in the head and did not stop closing. I believe the door should stop closing if something gets between it. |
