The motorized flush door handles lack an automatic anti-pinch resistance sensor when retracting. If an object, hand, or child’s finger is caught inside the door handle while the vehicle locks, the motor continues to force the handle shut. This creates a severe crushing and entrapment hazard. This is available for inspection upon request. My child’s finger got caught in the door handle while the vehicle was locking. There have also been several near miss incidents. The problem has been reported to my local dealership where I purchased the vehicle, but they do not appear to take the issue seriously. The issue has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. There are no warning lights or messages due to this issue.
