Consumer Description

NO EVENTS LEAD UP TO FAILURE. WHEN MY 5 YEARS OLD DAUGHTER OPENED THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OF OUR 2001 PONTIAC MONTANA EXTENDED MINIVAN FROM INSIDE, THE SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF AND LANDED ON THE GROUND ATTECHED ONLY BY BOTTOM BOLT.*AK IF ANY SMALL CHILD HAD BEEN PRESENT OUTSIDE THE MINIVAN THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED BY THE FALLING DOOR. WE HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THE MINIVAN, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED AND MAINTAINED. THE VEHICLE HAS ~42K MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT LONG'S PONTIAC IN FRAMINGHAM, MA I AM CONCERNED THAT AS THESE FAMILY VEHICLES AGE A CHILD MAY BE INJURED FROM A FALLING DOOR. THE REPAIRS CONSISTED OF PARTS REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRING DAMAGED CAUSED TO OUTSIDE OF DOOR AS HIT DRIVEWAY SURFACE. NO MODIFICATIONS WERE KNOWN TO MAKE SURE THIS EVENT NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
