Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When my driver side sliding door closes the door makes a loud grinding sound and the sensor wont register that it is closed. The lights will stay on inside because the door is still open even though it looks closed. You have to physically push the back of the door until you hear a click, which I assume of a latch engaging. Or you can turn the power door off and close it manually. This has been going on consistently for about 6 months now.”
NHTSA complaint #11123615, filed 2018-08, 85,000 miles“Driver side passenger door fails to close, loud noise when attempting to latch, and alarms sound upon entering or exiting vehicle in a parked position. Automatic door needs to be turned off, then manually close door. May happen all the time or fail randomly.”

NHTSA complaint #11150893, filed 2018-11, 58,000 miles“Sometimes, the driver side sliding door will not shut all the way. It makes a grinding / clicking sound and then opens back up automatically. This happens when the vehicle is stationary in park.”
