The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the contact did not have the failure diagnosed and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 61,000.

Latches/locks/linkage problem #2

2008 Dodge Caravan rear door the automatic door was beeping it was closing after I pushed the button. I dropped my keys and reached down to get them forgetting the door was closing. The door came down on my right arm just below the should causing a large bruise. The door continued closing after it hit me. This is the 2nd incident I have had with the van since I purchased it Dec. 31, 2008. The other time it was a similar incident I dropped something and the door hit me quite hard in the head and did not stop closing. I believe the door should stop closing if something gets between it.
