Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car was parked and I was exiting my vehicle. I pivoted to close the driver side door. I accidentally did not have my leg fully clear of the door. The wing tip edge acted like a shovel and took out a piece of skin on my leg as I closed the door requiring stitches. I was using a normal amount of force to close the door and was shocked at the damage the door tip did to my leg. It went through the skin layer down to the muscle. I believe the wing tip design of forward car doors are a safety hazard and risk for injury. Please consider making the edge more rounded like the rear doors. …”
