“My finger was partially amuputated - surgery required. I had been standing outside of my parked car when the door closed on my finger. When the car was brought into the dealership repair following the injury becasue several friends said the car door was not closing properly, the service manager told me that my inner car door molding had to be replaced on the driver and passenger side doors. From the beginning of my lease of the c-240, 2002 auto there were at least three other incidents when the car doors needed repair. …”
