| Description of the problem | I am a 53-year-old woman who got the tip of my right index finger caught in the power window of a 2004 toyota matrix. It felt as if it would have cut it off had i not been able to press the release button with my other hand. As it is, one week after the event occurred, the tip of my finger is still numb. This was so easy to do, and so potentially damaging. Pressure-sensitive power windows need to be implemented asap! |
