If the person is not attentive or physically unable to react quickly, child/elderly/pets, anyone really, the door could knock them over, possibly causing more serious bodily harm from the tires or other parts of the vehicle since it continues to move.
When this occurs, the lane departure warning system becomes disabled while driving. This happens without driver input and results in loss of lane safety alerts. Additionally, the driver’s side power window intermittently stops moving while the switch is being held in the up or down position.
The contact pulled over to the side of the road and reattached the drip rail molding. However, the drip rail molding detached again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer ordered the replacement part since the vehicle had a warranty.
