Design of minivan door caused it to open with power assist resulting in it bending back passengers hand, cracking a bone at the wrist. ( note: power sliding door has a safety feature causing it to stop when closing if there is an obstruction but this feature does not exist when opening). Nlm pe04064.pco
My 1999 chev venture had the bottom suspension frame member that holds the wheel and steering assemblies,on the passenger side fail while diriving. This failure resulted in loss of vehicle control. Some one could be killed if it happens again. No frame should ever brake under normal driving. This vehicle has always been driven within normal operation on the highways. It has never had more than 6 passengers in the vehilce. Their had to be a flaw in the part when it was manufactured or it is a very poor design.
