While my 3 year old was entering the vehicle through the side sliding door, she pressed the button to close the door. While the door was closing, she slipped getting her ankle/foot trapped between the door jam and door but over the bracket attaching the front of the door. The door continued to close until it jammed, she fell outside the vehicle while still being trapped. We had to push on the door to try to slowly open it to attempt to free her. After picking her up and reaching under the door to move her foot we were able to free her. The entire time we were trying to free my daughter the door kept making a clicking noise.

2009 vw Routan, electric door failure. Doors fail to stop, there's no sensor, closing on your hand or whatever. Also randomly fail to close, close half way, re-open, open without warning. This is unsafe. We have two small dogs, if one of the dogs accidentally steps thru the door while it's closing, it will close on the dog. I would never have bought this car if I had known. I'm thinking of having the electric doors disengaged. Read that other owners had door catch fire. I want to return this car.
