This made me laugh so hard! I yell at my girlfriend almost everyday for this! LOL the dam window sounds like it's coming off track and with all the problems we have with them, that's the last thing I need!

It's a fun game for me, get out really quick and watch my door close itself. When I drive any other car I get out and start to walk away and wonder why the door hasn't closed.

hehe... I'd just park the car in the opposite direction so the doors open facing down the incline.

My mothers 2009 jeep cherrokee is the exact opposite, you have to THRUST the doors to get past the dentents, if you dont, it literally springs back to annihilate your knee. Has happened to me so many times.
