 Description of the problemMy daughter had her right hand pinky finger top semi amptuated with a tuft fracture with the rear passenger door of the striker and latch. This happened on jan 2019 and we paid over 10k in medical bills and her pinky is disfigured. We haven't reach out to lawyers but we do see a flaw with the striker and door setup with the 4 door jeeps that a redesign or cover would help. The issue is any booster seat or child car seat puts a toddler or kids hand/fingers at risk which fall within 1-2 inches from the bracket of the door of the arm rest of most major brand seats. This sits level to the striker and latch. The proximity of the seatbelt and the level at the door striker is a safety concern for little ones sitting in back. There is no guard or barrier to prevent from tiny finger being caught in the stack and being struck by the door or striker. From the inside, with the door closed, you can clearly see the rear door striker and latch. Not only fingers but hair too is a problem. This is concerning to us every time we put our little ones in the back. If need be i can send a video of it and replicate the risk. I did contact a news agency but waiting to hear from them.*dt*jb*dt*js*dt*jb
