Power door locks lock on their own after car reaches a certain speed. It happens quickly, and if arms or fingers are nearby, the skin gets pulled into lock hole. It's very painful, like a very strong pinch or shock. Happens very frequently and causes bleeding occasionally. Ph **dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**767679
