| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In purchasing the uplander the salesman demonstrated the safety feature of the blocking of sliding side doors by sticking his arm in the path of the door (well before it shut) and the door stopping and retracting. in demonstrating this feature to my grandchildren i placed my hand in the way of the driver side sliding rear door and allowed it to close on my hand, the door did not retract and trapped me there with my hand in the door. it was painful to say the least and my grandchildren were the only ones that could push the button to open the door. i reported the mishap to the salesman at the chevy dealers but nothing was ever done. the problem as i see it is that any small child trying to keep the door from closing would reach for the door and in doing so would place his hand in the door in the same position i was in when i demonstrated this "safety feature" to my grand children. this feature apparently works only when the door is sliding forward and not when it is closing. *jb |
