Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Passenger side sliding door has had four failures. 2 latches have been replaced, as well as other components. I have never received paperwork on the last incident. Nor has the dealer called to follow up on the last two attempts at repair. I have contacted chrysler, but I dont feel that they care. The main problem is that the door would lock, and it could not be unlocked at all. We have electric locks, but they would not work. You also could not open the door manually. I have had this vehicle in 9 times since purchased. …”
NHTSA complaint #746310, filed 2001-06“Right side sliding door mechanism is inoperable. Someone sitting inside vehicle would have to open door from inside to unlock door. Took vehicle to dealer for repairs. .”
