6 Door problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2013

On April 10, 13 we came home from the grocery store. I got out of the van and went around to the left side to unbuckle my 3yr old son. I then went back to the back of the van to get the grocery's out. I heard the side door closing. Then a yell. When my son got out of the van he pushed the button like he has many of times. He must of noticed something in the van he forgot and went to grab it. The door shut completely on his right hand. He broke the bones in his hand and now is in a cast. The big seller point from the car dealers were about the sensor and see this and see how it stops. Well it did not and my 3yr old now has a broken hand.
