| Description of the problem | My family was leaving a celebration of life her ein elk grove. And we were in the parking lot of project ride where our vehicle was stationary at the time of malfunction. My husband had loaded the stroller into the trunk and the baby into the van. When he shut the trunk, the lift arm on the the passenger side on the vehicle popped off and closed between the galas and the van, causing a huge bang and glass shooting out everywhere at my husband and exploding into the car where my baby was rear facing at the time. It caused damage to the lift arm, shattered my entire back window, and dented the back side of the body. I was in complete disbelief this happened. Luckily two women where walking by and saw the entire thing happen. One of them works for the bar and told me that this should never happen and i needed to report this to you guys. |
