Description of the problem	While the rear hatch of our 2008 dodge grand caravan was closing, our daughter walked behind the van. The rear hatch came down on her and did not stop. I hit the remote for it to go back up and it bounced on our daughter and began coming down again on her. I tried to lift it up while pulling my daughter out and it continued to come down. This van has been taken to rick hendrick dodge on numerous occasions for the power side doors failing. The side doors bounce open upon closing and we find one or both doors open when returning to the van from a store, etc. This has been reported as a safety issue to the dealership and to chrysler. We get the same response each time, which is they are unable to duplicate the problem. We have many witnesses who have seen this happen, including our salesperson. Unfortunately, instead of rectifying the problem, our daughter now has a serious, complicated neck injury. She is being followed by a pediatric neurosurgeon at present. We have no idea what her prognosis will be. To date, she has had x-rays and an mri and remains in a cervical collar. She will have more x-rays in 2 weeks. She is a competitive gymnast who now has no activity. The power doors to these vans are extremely dangerous and people need to be aware of this.
