Sliding doors seem unsafe. They take a tremendous amount of force to stop the automatic door from closing. There is no safety mechanism to prevent a child from getting stuck and/or extremely hurt due if caught in sliding doors while closing. Seems like there should be a lesser resistance necessary to cause doors to open back up if encountering an object to prevent injury.

2022 kia carnival. The outer middle seats in the 8 passenger model. I have accidentally used the lever to fold the seat foward when i meant to use the one that pulls it foward on the track. When the seat came foward it hit me in the head such force i though i was going have a concussion. I was left with a minor headache afterward.The second time i thought it broke my nose. I can still feel it as i type this. This in my opinion would cause sever injury to a small child or elderly person if they were to do the same. To me those seats are dangerous if not prepared when folding the seats foward.
