CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND TOLD CONSUMER THAT THE SENSORS FOR THE DOOR WERE OPERATING PROPERLY. HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER INJURED HER SHOULDER AND LOWER ARM BECAUSE THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR DID NOT RETRACT WHEN HITTING AN OBJECT. *AK |

LAST THURSDAY APRIL 4 THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. FRIDAY DID THE SAME THING 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. REPLACED ALTERNATOR, BELT TENSIONER AND BELT. MECHANIC ASKED WHAT IT DID, THEN SAID IT MIGHT BE THE TORQUE CONVERTER. HE CHECKED POWER STEERING, AND WATER PUMP THEY ARE FINE.
