Consumer Description

THE POWER SLIDING DOORS IN MY NISSAN QUEST 2004 REQUIRE A VERY STRONG FORCE TO STOP THEM ONCE THEY ARE ACTIVATED TO CLOSE. MY 4-YEAR OLD SON GOT HIT BY IT ON NOV 11, 2005 AND ALMOST GOT STUCK BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE DOOR FRAME. I HAVE IN MANY OCCASIONS BEING HIT BY THE DOORS ON THE WAY TO CLOSING AND ONLY A VERY STRONG RESISTANCE CAN STOP THEM. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REFERRED ME TO NISSAN BUT NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER ON THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN SAYING THAT YES THE FORCE REQUIRED IS VERY LARGE. ISN'T THAT A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE? SHOULDN'T THE POWER SLIDING DOORS, LIKE THE DOOR OF ELEVATORS, HAVE A SAFETY SPECIFICATION TO ENSURE THAT THEY CLOSE AT THE SLIGHT USE OF FORCE? MINIVANS ARE USED BY MANY FAMILIES WITH KIDS. I SEE THAT AS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT THIS TIME. *NM
