| Description of the problem | Front driver's side and passenger side, and the cargo sliding door, handles pinch fingers. The way the handle latch opens provides the opportunity for your fingers/hand to slide into the opening part of the latch, and get severely pinched. Bleeding was somewhat sever recently, with blood streaming down the vehicle's door body. The skin on my left small fingertip was pinched are removed, causing substantial bleeding. I had to often change the bandages to maintain pressure. Vehicle was stationary, and occurred while opening sliding cargo door latch |
