Consumer Description

5 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE IMPALA I SLICED MY LEG QUITE SEVERELY (2"X3" AND 1/2" DEEP) SIMPLY BY CLOSING THE DOOR. THE BOTTOM CORNER OF BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR COME TO A VERY SHARP POINT. BECAUSE OF MY AGE AND SIZE I NEED STAND FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN AND ELDERLY, ACTUALLY ANYONE WHO MAY BE A LITTLE WEAKER THAN AVERAGE. I TRIED TO RETURN OR EXCHANGE VEHICLE BUT DEALERSHIP WANTED ME TO TAKE A $4315 LOSS. I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THIS VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP
