Consumer Description

I FEEL IT IS NECESSARY TO REPORT AN INCIDENT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR DEATH. THE REAR WINDOWS IN THIS VEHICLE CAN CLOSE WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT CAN STRANGLE, DECAPITATE, SUFFOCATE OR COLLAPSE THE AIRWAY OF A CHILD. MY CHILD ALMOST DIED AS A RESULT OF AN INADVERTANT CLOSING OF THE WINDOW WITH THE CHILD'S HEAD STICKING OUT OF THE WINDOW WHILE PARKED. GARAGE DOORS HAVE A SAFETY MECHANISM TO PREVENT CRUSHING OR DEATH, WHY NOT AUTO WINDOWS! I WILL BE FORWARDING MY CONCERNS TO THE DETROIT FREE PRESS. PLEASE RESPOND.
