| I opened the passenger side door with my remote and began placing groceries in the van. while performing this action, my daughter thought she would help me by turning on the light on the overheard panel. she pushed the wrong button. the automatic door began closing while i was leaning into the van. it continued closing, squeezing me into the door frame itself. i was not able to free myself until the door began retracting on its own. both hips are bruised and sore and it is painful to walk. *tr | |||

| After shutting off van, tried to open sliding passenger door with key fob, nothing happened, tried yanking on door, again nothing, tried opening door with switch in upper console, nothing. door was unlocked, but would not open under power. son was locked inside the van. my husband was finally able to manually open door with great force. had to manually force door to close. when i took the van to dealership to have the manifold gasket replaced had the service tech look at the door and was told they couldn't recreate problem, there was nothing to be done. was told to bring back van if it happened again. was told to tie door closed as the lock might fail, but there was nothing that could be done. any wonder why we are not buying out the lease or purchasing another montana. *jb | |||
