What owners wrote

Our daughter got her hand caught in the automatic sliding door, inside handle, when she went to open that door to get out of the vehicle. The door does not have any way of sensing that something may be caught in the handle while it is opening so it kept going while her hand was stuck there. Her wrist was broken as a result of this.
