Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 01 FORD WINDSTAR LIMITED WITH AUTOMATIC DOORS, WITH SAFETY SENSORS. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, NOT ALWAYS OPENING AND CLOSING WITH THE BUTTONS. MY 3YR OLD DAUGHTER REACHED IN THE VAN TO GET A TOY AND THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER ARM,(WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING A BUTTON TO CLOSE THE DOOR) THE DOOR EVENTUALLY OPENED. THE INJURY CONSISTED OF BROKEN SKIN AND A SEVERE BRUISE ON THE OUTER AND THE INNER SIDE OF THE ARM. THE VAN WAS STILL COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FOUR PARTS WERE REPLACED: 1. CONTR ASY BDY S 2. SENSOR ASY - AC 3. R/CONTR & LAT A 4. ACTU ASY - BDY SD THE DOOR IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS OPENING ALL OF THE TIME. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT.
