Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The passenger electric sliding door doesn't stay closed it opens when driving down the road. The chime will sound while driving down any road and the door ajar light comes on. The electric part doesn't work it's like a latch isn't holding the door closed any longer. The door actually has came open when I was making a left turn. Each time I turn left or right the door chime will go off. It has happened multiple times other than the date I'm reporting.”
NHTSA complaint #11112884, filed 2018-07, 80,000 miles“Back hatch door opens when it wants to, and it won't when we try the handle. Also, cold weather makes the sliding side door(entrance to the back) freezes up and won't work. All these issues with locks, doors, ever since we first purchased it”
NHTSA complaint #11096625, filed 2018-05, 20 miles“Recently I have been having problems placing the vehicle in park. I press the side button, but am unable to shift into the park position. Now, I am unable to place in park, and must shut the car off in neutral. Doing so means I am unable to remove the keys from the ignition. The vehicle was motionless and my foot was firmly on the brakes. This could become a major problem, not only in thefts, but anywhere in public that you must park it.”
NHTSA complaint #10860143, filed 2016-04, 12,257 miles“When van is put in park, the locks unlock automatically. When we stop to let someone out of the van it unlocks, and it locks on it's own after a min or two when we get out of the vehicle. I've been locked out when getting gas or walking away”
NHTSA complaint #11096623, filed 2018-05“The sliding doors of the Van do not stay closed. We could be driving down the road when they open and the chime starts going off. We find this is commonly associated with the scenerios right after the auto-close mechanism closes the door. (This is another issue as it does not reliably close the door.) To resolve the door suddenly opening situation, we have to stop, put the vehicle in park, and usually end up having to have the driver or front passenger get out of the car, wait for the auto-close system to get close to closing and then slam the back end of the door into place to get it to hold. …”
