| Description of the problem | My son got in his seat in the van and i got in drivers seat i pushed power door button on ceiling and heard door closing i thought it closed all the way but had power failure and stopped halfway. I started van and started to go, there was no alarm or anything to inform me his door was still half open. Luckily my son is 5 and told me his door was open so i stopped and button did nothing i got out and button on inside of his door did nothing i than manually closed door. This is very unsafe if a child wasn't buckled or unbuckled themselves they could fall out. |
