My 4 year old son was standing inside the van, facing the powered door, waiting for me to open the door. I pulled the handle and the power door started to open (sliding to my left). When the door reached the midway point my son slipped from the edge and fell with both feet between the door and the door frame. The door continued to travel toward my left, my hand was still on the door handle. I pulled the handle with much force, enough to cause the entire van to jerk forward (I am a 37 year old man). The door would not stop moving. I quickly pulled my son out at the last second. He hugged me and I could see the fear in his eyes. With my son removed I repeated the action and found that at least 50% of the time the door would not stop travel when I pulled on the handle. I reported this defect in engineering to oldsmobile, report # 000014933. I also notified almo corporate headquarters. It is good, for everyone involved, that my son was not hurt. Please look into this matter. I don't want someone to be injured because not enough safety devices are installed in these doors. Note, when the door has traveled half-way your left are is extended about 45 degrees away from the center of your body. This prevents the door handle from pulling straight out. P.s. I haven't received a reply from almo or oldsmobile. Please call me if more information is needed. Thank you.
