What owners wrote

On august 2 2018 I was driving. I had my oldest daughter in the back seat. We came to a stop sign and made a right turn. As I was turning the rear driver side door flew open and my daughter and her cell phone went flying out. She got scrapes and bruises but nothing major. Her cell phone screen smashed. I immediately pulled over thinking she just didn't shut the door all the way and tried to shut it. It wouldn't latch.
