Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Doors will not stay open at positions less than full open, and even then slight wind will cause them to close. Have received numerous !! Bruises and gouges to legs mostly , but some arms, fingers, and often hurt back- due to premature closing of door. [it closes hard too!] suppose hinges inadequate for the weight/dimensions of the doors, or mechanism not functioning properly. Due to size/weight of doors - in tight parking spots - it is most often- impossible- to open door fully. Have had other cars same model- never this problem. …”
