Description of the problem	I am writing you due to an incident that happened to my child concerning the vw routon minivan. We were looking at one on display at hickam air force base this past saturday, the 4th of july., 2009. The back hatch was open and my 7 year old found buttons that powered the last row of seats. These buttons lifted the seats up and down. To my horror i all of sudden heard my 3 year old screaming. He was standing in the car directly in front of the last row of seats with his foot lodged in between the seat and the floor. The power lift was still running and smashing his foot. There was no sensor that stopped the power seat. I feel this could be very dangerous. What would happen if a child's head got lodged in this mechanism. Luckily my child had crock shoes on and was able to pull his foot out of his shoe but there was quite an indentation mark from where the seat was pushing on his foot. The doors in minivans have sensors--i believe these power lift back row seats should have some sort of sensor. I would hate to have a child get killed by this.
