The consumer pulled the door handle to open the automatic sliding door, the consumers arm was between the right armrest and the door, the consumer did not let go of the handle, forgetting that the door is automatic, and was trying to pull the door open, as the door came back it began to place extreme pressure on his thumb and hand and he could not get his hand out, eventually the door was reversed but the consumer sustained bruised thumb, hand and strained muscles in his right arm and shoulder.

August 2001 Injury

I own a 2000 silhouette van. The warranty expired this past december. However the mileage is within the warranty. I was told by my local olds dealer that I had a water leak underneath the dash. The carpet was drenched, underneath. I was not aware of the leak, due to the carpet has a rubber barrier underneath it. They could not tell me where the leak was coming from. They removed the whole dash. They located three separate leaks in the seams on the fire wall.

Reported at 33,000 miles, June 2003
