Reported on Aug 02, 2013
| (TOYOTA, SIENNA 2011) PASSENGER AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ANTI-JAM SENSOR FAILED. OBJECT (MACBOOK) WAS PLACED IN DOOR POCKET COMPARTMENT. DOOR SWITCH WAS PRESSED AND DOOR BEGAN OPENING. MACBOOK DID NOT COMPLETELY CLEAR THE DOORS PATH COMPLETELY AND DOOR BEGAN CRUSHING IT. I COULD HEAR SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT AND SAW THE DOOR BEND THE LAPTOP AND PARK IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION. YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE AND HEAR THE DOOR HAD MET AN OBSTACLE AND WAS STRUGGLING, BUT JUST PRESSED THROUGH IT. DOOR MADE NO ATTEMPT TO STOP OR REVERSE. THE MACBOOK WAS DAMAGED. THE WHOLE MACHINE WAS BENT BY THE DOOR AND I CAN NO LONGER FIT A CD IN THE OPTICAL SLOT BECAUSE IT IS NOW CURVED RATHER THAN FLAT. THESE DOORS ARE STRONG ENOUGH BE BEND METAL! THE ANTI-JAM SYSTEM FAILED. AFTER SEEING THAT, I REALLY THINK THAT THESE DOORS HAVE TO CAPABILITY TO SERIOUSLY INURE SOMEONE. | |
