I feel it is necessary to report an incident with the potential for death. The rear windows in this vehicle can close with such force that it can strangle, decapitate, suffocate or collapse the airway of a child. My child almost died as a result of an inadvertant closing of the window with the child's head sticking out of the window while parked.
