It kept moving and mashed their hands between the moving door and door frame. The injuries were not severe. However, a safety switch is needed to stop the door. A much bigger problem, however, was found in the second row of the seat, just behind the front seat. The consumer stated she and her husband were sitting in the seats, and decided to take a nap. When she went to re-position the seat, to its upright position, she turned sideways to pull the lever on the side, but when she pulled it, the entire back rest assembly slammed her forward with considerable impact. At the same time, the head rest atop the back rest slammed forward with much more impact and it hit her in the back of the head. It was Tuesday, April 1, 2014 when this door issue occurred.

At the same time, the passenger in the right rear seat was in the process of opening their door and exiting. Due to the close proximity of their door edge (approximately 1/16 inch) and the car itself, a finger tip on my right hand was completely amputated when the door was opened.

Door problem of GMC Yukon
The vehicle was a 2007 GMC Yukon denali xl. Both rear door handles of my Yukon denali are loose from the door. It is just a matter of time before they fall off and my kids are stuck in the back. I called the dealership and he said that this is a common issue and he has fixed this problem before. However since it is not a safety issue there is not a bulletin. I think having easy and safe access to our kids is pretty important, but since the door were so poorly made and engineered that is not the true issue. I have gone online to see if there was a recall on this issue and to my surprise there is a you tube video on how to fix this common issue and there are blogs and bulletins that this is common. If this is truly common and defective, how come gm is not mandated to address and fix this matter? this is unfair that I need to take money out from my pocket to fix something that was designed poorly. I have had plenty of vehicles and this has never happened to me before and let me remind you this is now my 2nd door in a matter of weeks! please help!. The failure date was Wed., Oct. 30, 2013.

When I called GMC customer complaint line they offered no help just excuses. . . Poor customer service. . . Wow, no wonder gm went bankrupt!!. This problem occurred on Dec. 3, 2012.

Tired the key in the door and tried the keyless remote also tried the spare keyless remote, would not open. At 9:30 p. M. We call aaa to open the car, at 10 p. M. Aaa showed up and opened the front passenger door. He got the door open, we decided to take the car to the Honda dealer in the morning. During the night, the doors automatically locked. I needed to go to work, had to get a ride with someone else. My husband waited 3 hours for a tow-truck to show up to take it to a Honda dealership. We were very surprised to find out this was not covered by a recall, this is a safety issue. Where we live the temperature during the day in August runs from 95 degrees to 110 degrees, if this happened during the day and children were in the car, this could cause death. It was 08/09/13 when this door issue occurred.

Door problem of Hyundai Veracruz
In the 2. 5 years I've owned my 2011 Hyundai Veracruz, 4 door handles have broken from the inside. The first happened within a year of owning the car and was the driver's side door. The handle became embedded into the door and could not be pulled. The door could only be opened from the outside (or by rolling down the window and reaching my arm outside through window and pulling on the handle from the outside). This presents a serious safety risk in that the driver is unable to get out of the vehicle quickly in an emergency. The dealership replaced the handle and said they had never seen it happen before. Since then it has happened 3 more times (passenger door, rear door on passenger side, and again on driver's side). I have no children and am usually the only one driving the vehicle, so it doesn't receive much wear and tear. When the rear door handle broke, the door was unable to be opened from the inside or the outside. Can you imagine having a child in the car and being unable to get to them? this time when the driver's side door broke again, it also quit responding to lock/unlock button pushes, making the situation even more unsafe. The Hyundai dealership has said that it is a poorly designed part and that it will continue to happen but that there is not a new part and that, once my warranty expires, I will have to pay for all of these repairs myself. They also had no comment about my safety concerns with the vehicle. Having the driver or passengers be unable to exit the car quickly is a very serious safety concern and this needs to be addressed. My email to Hyundai USA has gone unanswered. It was 02/01/2012 when this door issue happened.

Door problem of Infiniti J30
The car was a 1997 Infiniti J30. The rear passenger door stopped working , a month later the rear drivers door stopped working, 2 weeks later the drivers door stopped working on my 1997 Infiniti J30 (which I purchased new, only 107,000 miles on it). Now the only door that works is the front passenger door. There are no blown fuses. It seems there is a problem with the actuator that electronically opens and closes the mechanism. If the other door fails , I will not be able to enter or exit the vehicle. If this should happen while I am driving the vehicle, it could be life threatening. It was Friday, Mar. 12, 2010 when this door issue happened.

Door problem of Lincoln Town Car
The car was a 2004 Lincoln Town Car. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is 1LNHM83W04_. The interior door lock within the panel broke off on the drivers side & the clips broke off on the passengers side. Per Lincoln we will need to replace the whole panel. They no longer make the panel nor can we find it at anywhere else. Lincoln offered two sites to try and locate however they do not have this part either. The car hasn't even hit 10 years for us and Lincoln offers no solution. The car runs ok but it's a bit embarrassing that we cannot open the door without the panel falling down. I believe this is a bad business transaction from the manufacturer and had we known we would get this type of service we wouldn't of bought this make of car. It was Monday, November 4, 2013 when this door issue happened.

Door problem of Mazda MAZDA6
The car involved was a 2004 Mazda Mazda6. On August 15, 2012 I stopped off at a gas station went to open driver side door and the door would not open from inside or outside handle. I then had to escape by climbing over the console to exit the passenger side door, good thing I'm a small girl and not a big guy trying to climb out. I have been without a door handle on my car for approximately 6 months, having to climb thru the window or passenger door. I finally take to mechanic to purchase a new handle at $100 and then charged another $150 for the labor to find out that this is a common problem with Mazda and the real issue are the door latches. I now have to purchase a new door latch assembly at another $205 and another $100 in labor. This entire time I have been driving in an unsafe vehicle that if I would have been in an accident I would have sued Mazda for. These are faulty latches they assembled on the driver side doors unsafely locking us inside the vehicle. Mazda needs to address this issue, correct this issue, and reimburse the owners that are paying for this faulty part. This has cost me out of pocket of $550. Uncalled for!!!. This door problem happened on 08/15/2012.

Door problem of Mercedes Benz SLK230
The vehicle involved was a 1998 Mercedes Benz Slk230. The VIN of this vehicle was WDBKK47F3W_. The car had a bad left door panel that was fixed under warranty last year. This summer I noticed that it was loose at the top so I had my wife take it in to be fixed. They fixed the panel and my drove home. When my wife got home she was locked in the car and the left door would only open if she put the window down and used the outside door handle. Se went inside and called the dealer, shaffer imports. They had her bring it back so they could correct the problem. She left the car and when she returned it had not been fixed. They said that the door latch must have failed on the way home and that we would have to pay to fix it. They also said that they have seen this problem on other mercedes models that use the same door latch. I believe that this is a safety problem and should be fixed and a recall issued. Being that this is a two door car with a console and a shifter, it is quite difficult for one to exit the left seat to the right door. This could cause lost time in an emergency and ultimately loss of life. Pleas give this problem your immediate attention. It was Sunday, September 1, 2002 when this door issue happened.

Door problem of Mercury Milan
The car was a 2009 Mercury Milan. Interior door handle will not open vehicle on driver's side door making it impossible to exit vehicle without crawling over console and exiting from passenger seat or opening window to access exterior door handle. This is a safety issue. As the same thing happened to my husband's Ford fusion 2010 hybrid (which cost over $200 to repair at the dealership), I believe there is an issue with the manufacture/design/integrity of parts in these vehicles. In addition, there are numerous complaints on the internet Ford/Mercury forums citing the same problem. It was Thursday, January 9, 2014 when this door issue happened.

Door problem of Mercury Milan
The car is a 2006 Mercury Milan. The plastic interior door handles broke without even touching them. Both front handles broke within a week of each other. I didn't know the front passenger side was broken until my wife asked me to get out of the car to let her out on her side. And then approximately a week later the driver's side interior handle broke also. Now neither door can be opened from the inside. The window needs to be rolled down and the outside handle needs to be used. When we bought the car (used) the rear driver's side interior handle plastic was broken and we knew this. Even broken you can still use it to open the rear door. I was in the drivers seat when the driver's interior handle broke. I was parked, and I heard a click before I tried opening my door from the inside and the door would not open. There is definitely a big problem with these cheap plastic door handles that Ford motor company needs to address. Three out of four interior handles are broken. It is truly a safety issue if you cannot exit your car using the interior door handles. ## VIN passed ## Mercury Milan 2006 ##. This door problem happened on Sunday, August 5, 2012.

Door problem of Nissan Titan
The car was a 2005 Nissan Titan. The VIN of the car is 1N6BA07B95_. The door handles and locks both fail to work when temperatures drop below around 20 degrees.

It took 30 minutes of manipulating the handle, door locks and window to try and get the door to shut. We cannot let our children ride in the car because we know the latch could fail and our children could be put in harms way. It was Sat., Oct. 29, 2011 when this door issue happened.

Door problem of Saturn VUE
The vehicle involved was a 2009 Saturn Vue. The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) was 3GSCL33P29_. 1. The interior driver side door handle is "chrome" covered and has caused cuts that required a 'butterfly' stitching. 2. Every time I open the door I get cut 3. I have contacted Saturn for almost a year to repair this to no avail. 1. The tire pressure sensors are on backwards. If my left front tire is going flat the sensors and lights say it's the left rear tire. 2. This happens each time my tire gets low and I just figured out the problem 3 months ago. It causes me to over inflate the incorrect tire and the low tire is still low on air. 3. I have contacted Saturn for almost a year about this and they have not helped. The failure date was Thursday, February 4, 2010.

Door problem of Audi A4
The vehicle involved is a 2009 Audi A4. After having my car for a year, it started to burn through oil at an increasing rate. Currently it is going through about 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles. I have taken the car in a few times to check for leaks or try to determine the location where it is going and have just been told that this model engine goes through at a faster pace and has been a common complaint amongst customers. In addition to this I have dealt with having to get the sunroof re-lubricated every few months, dealing with rattles in the doors, warping of the interior (dash, door panels, seat backs), and a one-time failure with the door latch not working during cold temperatures. This door problem happened on March 15, 2011.

Door problem of Audi A6
The VIN of the problem A6 is WAUWG94F89_. Purchased a 2009 Audi A6 as my primary commuter and family vehicle. As I was attempting to put some items in the passenger front seat, the door unexpectedly close on my arm and scraped off about 2. 5 inches of my skin around my right elbow. What worried me most was that I was holding my daughter, fortunately on my left side, and my daughter was not hurt. I also have a son which is currently I level with the door trim and am constantly worried every time I open and close the door. Something I should not have to do. I have contacted both the dealer and Audi corporate and apparently, this is not a big enough issue for them at the moment. According to Audi, that is the design of the vehicle and many of their vehicles have similar trims. All I requested was for them to somehow install some extra padding on the trim to give me piece of mind and was basically told to live with it. My main concern is the safety of my children. Purchasing this car as my family car, I should not have to worry about them getting hurt each time the door opens and closes and I wanted to share this incident to other Audi drivers out there. Please check both your front doors chrome trims and you will find that the edges are exposed and sharp. This issue happened on Saturday, June 19, 2010.
