| Description of the problem | The van was parked and i had the passenger rear side door open. I used the push button feature to close the door and realized i had forgot something on the floor. I reached in and grabbed it and the door hit my arm and instead of stopping and opening again it continued to close and my arm was caught in the door. The door didn't stop closing until i reached out with my left hand and grabbed the handle and pulled it off of my arm. My arm was bruised and has been sore since it happened. This is not the first time the door hasn't responded and re-opened when something was in the way. This is the first time anyone was injured. |
