When I exit the vehicle and close the door, the design of the door is so it cuts my leg. I have cut the leg three times in the one year I have owned the vehicle, each time drawing blood through material. The door is designed where the bottom corner protrudes about three inches from the straight edge of the door, the door curves out. So when I close the door, that edge extends past the door and cuts my leg. This is a design flaw with the door and should be corrected. I am tired of scaring my leg.
