Description of the problem | Yesterday my three year old had 3 of his teeth nearly ripped out of his head by an integrated sunshade in the sliding door of my 2007 honda odyssey. By nearly ripped out i mean they got caught in the thing when the door was opening... The door didn't stop opening and it caused his teeth to stick straight out of his mouth (moved almost 90 degrees upward). The window was completely up and the windows are tinted in the rear of the odyssey's so i couldn't see him holding (and apparently biting) the sunshade while approaching the rear passenger sliding door. I would not have opened the door knowing it was in his mouth. I applied pressure and got his teeth to go back in place and took him to the dentist. We are on a wait-and-see scenario with whether or not my child will lose his teeth. I inquired, with honda vehicles, if there was any sort of lock for this sunshade and why there isn't a sensor to indicate something is tugging on the doors. He told me there is no product that can lock the sunshade in the retracted position to prevent injuries, didn't comment on the sensors, and told me to move my child to the back seat of the van. |
