I WAS TURNING THROUGH A LEFT BEND ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. POSTED SPEED 40 MPH, WHEN THE REAR AXLE SPLIT AT THE DRIVERS SIDE HUB.

WE WALKED AWAY WITH MINOR WHIPLASH AND A FEW BUMPS HERE AND THERE, BUT THE VAN WAS TOTALED WITH LESS THAN 31,000 MILES ON IT AND IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED. *JB

POWER SLIDING DOORS DON'T HAVE SAFETY SENSORS ON THEM, THEY WILL SHUT ON WHATEVER IS IN THE WAY, THEY HAVE LEFT A BRUISE ON ME WHEN I WAS STANDING IN THE WAY OF THE DOOR. YOUNGER CHILDREN OR EVEN ADULTS COULD BE HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED IN THEM. *NM

REAR PASSENGER AUTOMATIC SIDE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE, POPS OPEN WHEN ITS SUPPOSE TO LATCH SHUT. A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IS BESIDE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR. DOOR OPENED WHILE MY 9 YEAR OLD SON WAS SITTING BESIDE DOOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MILES AND HOUR IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE. DOOR WAS TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, BECAUSE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, NO STEP WERE TAKEN TO REPAIR DOOR DUE TO FINANCIAL RESTRAINTS. *JB
