2005 Buick Terraza Latches, locks and linkages Problems

“Power sliding doors in the rear fail to close on a repeated basis, often having to try and close them 10 to 12 times. After reading about this known issue and how others vehicle owners have reported the door(s) opening on their own while driving, I felt I needed to report my malfunction with the door sensors.”

“During cruise on highway (I-95 in florida) while on vacation the left rear power sliding door became unlatched and warning chimes sounded repeatedly and interior lights illuminated, this occurred several times again on this trip there was an investigation by the NHTSA in 2008 report #ea07019 which determined no defect was present which would require a recall.

We have also experienced electrical problems as well with the van. The sliding door chime comes on randomly when I we are driving. Work had to be done previously on the wiring. Occasionally I hear rattling noises from the front end of the vehicle when I drive. The van also shakes excessively when approaching speeds over 45-50 miles per hour when I put on the brakes.”

“Sliding driver's side rear door opened while I was fueling the car. My wife pushed the open door button.

I splashed quite a bit of gas on the side of the car. There should be some safety switch that would prevent the sliding door from operating when the gas tank door is open. …”
