Mercedes-Benz’s soft-close doors are now found on a number of models, but a recent lawsuit has branded them as a "modern-day guillotine". Plaintiff Richard J. Kastigar, Jr., the deputy sheriff of Pima County Sheriff Department in Arizona, has filed a lawsuit alleging a power closing door caused the loss of part of his thumb, according to Car Complaints.
