This poses a high risk to children and small adults with narrow limbs and/or the fingers of any aged person.  On January 11, 2023, my 4 year old's hand was closed in the door without the door stopping or re-opening.  This resulted in deep lacerations to his fingers and swelling necessitating emergency room medicine and imaging to eliminate potential of fracture.  I tested this morning with the doors by opening and closing and inserting objects as well as my body to determine an approximation of closing force.  Even with a full sized adult, the closing force is sufficient to move the trunk of an adult body to the side before safety mechanisms engage.  Door travel continues for 2 to 3 inches before safety retraction engages.    Children arms, feet, or other appendages are narrow enough that they will be impacted with the force of the mechanism in a pinching mechanic before the safety engages and allows removal of the limb.  In this case, the fingers of a child closing their own door was not sufficient to activate the safety mechanism and the door closed fully, causing (thankfully) minimal injury.  I have contacted Kia service this morning and will follow their directions.  Internet research indicates no recall or technical service bulletin for this problem at this time.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2023","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"CARNIVAL","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
