TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD FREESTAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND WOULD RANDOMLY OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (DICK SMITH FORD, 7201 GARNERS FERRY RD, COLUMBIA, SC) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

MY HUSBAND HAD ALREADY GOT OUT OF THE VAN AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING ON HER. IT DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY STOP AND GO BACK ON CONTACT. THEN IN DEC MY SISTER-IN-LAW WAS ALSO STARTING TO EXIT THE VAN FROM THE SAME DOOR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER. THE DOOR OPENED, HESITATED AND THEN STARTED TO CLOSE ON HER. ON APRIL 6, 2008 MY 80+ MOTHER OPENED THE REAR PASSENGER VAN DOOR AND STARTED TO ENTER THE VAN. THE DOOR STARTED CLOSING ON HER. HER LEFT FOOT WAS ALREADY IN THE VAN AND THE DOOR CLOSURE CAUSED HER TO FALL BACKWARDS ONTO THE PAVEMENT. HER LEFT FOOT WAS TANGLED UNDER...
