Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Extremely dangerous right front passenger grasps top of door frame to close door. Driver closes window but is unable to stop window from closing. Once it starts it can't be stopped nor is there a safety stop such as that found in garage or elevator doors. Window crushes finger of passenger and flesh is torn. Flesh retrieved and sewn in emergency room but hospital surgery required 3 weeks later on right ring finger. Potential death trap! Imagine if it closes on a child, a dog, or object.”
