“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

“The sliding passenger doors of the van do not completely latch. Driving down the highway when door alarm starts going off and sliding door starts opening up. At that point I have to pull over and power off the doors and try to get them to latch with power again. If that doesn't work. I have to have one of my kids hold the doors shut with their foot until we can get home safely. This only happens intermittently. Other times loading into the van; the door will act like it's latching and then door alarm goes off and beeps and ricochets open again. …”

“The side sliding doors will not lock. This creates a safety hazard for my children. The locks will not lock by the automatic actuator when the car is placed in motion . And they will not lock with the power button on the control panel, nor will they lock with the electronic key fob. They will however, lock manually.”

“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. …”
