NHTSA Complaint #11533897 — 2023 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

The motorized doors have no apparent safety features and will allow them to fully open and close even when obstructed. The rear hatch takes my full 200lbs body weight to stop from fully opening. It will lift the garage door and there is no safety mechanism to stop it from damaging the car door or the garage door. When closing it will not stop untilI use all my strength for about 20 seconds when it finally gives up. The open/close button simply reverses the direction. If something is pinched in such a way that stopping the door is the only way to reduce injury, it cannot be done. The door will simply keep reversing direction every time you push the button.... repeatedly moving against what is in the space. The side doors have similar issues. The button and door handle do not release the most, it only reverses the direction. Other vehicles I owned had some way to disengage the motor to prevent further injury. The 2023 Pacifica needs to be fixed to prevent injuries due to there being no method of disengaging the door motors.
