No, Heaven's Door rewrites memories not reality, in the last Rohan spin-off, Yukako asks him to cure a girl that was born with multiple deformities, but he laughs at her for thinking that he could do something like that in the first place, as he isn't even able to cure a simple fever of his own.

The command of flying at 60 Km/h (or whatever speed) could be explained as the following, the body of every person that was a passenger or drove a car "remember" how it fells to move at that speed, so HD is capable to use that unconscious memory to make the body move by itself in a short burst.

(Not unlike how the stand The Book is able to make someone experience a painful memory of the user by implanting it on the target.)

If HD wrote "I'm immortal" in someone, the maximum that would accomplish would be the person believing that he/she is immortal.

I never understood why ppl think that HD is a reality bending power, just bc Rohan never turned to the camera and said: "Hey dear audience, I can't do X, Y and Z!" (you know, clunky exposition, something every good author SHOULD avoid) doesn't mean that he have no limits, if he never said that he could do something so crucial as reviving a person or bend reality to catch Kira, you can naturally assume he can't do that.

There' something called "No limits fallacy" (that I hate to bring on, bc its mainly used by ppl that like to argue which ficticious character is "stronger", aka shit no one should care about) but I think applies nicely to JoJo, just bc a stand never had its limits stated in dialogue, that don't mean that limits don't exist, as IMO a better way to show what a character can do is by just showing them doing things and let the audience undertand the limits by itself after seeing the aplication of the powers, rather than spoon feeding every bit of information, but feel free to disagree.
