“Turn lights and stick signals most the time do not work appropriately I turn on to the left and the right side come on some times nothing happens some times I try to use to de left and the fourth way hazard come on. I really scare to have a crash because I send the wrong signal or get a ticket”

In addition the power sliding doors continued to close on me while I was trying to push it back open. Car was parked in the driveway and off, my front passenger pressed the overhead psd button before he realized the kids hadn't finished climbing out.”

When I tried talking the people on the phone could not hear me and I could not hear them. When I shut off the bluetooth the person could hear me and I could hear them. If I shut off the car and turned it back on it still wouldn't work. After about 20 minutes it started working like it should again. This has happened twice.”

NHTSA complaint #11129664, filed 2018-09, 20,000 miles“The power sliding doors have crushed me to the point of brusing my ribs. They did not retract with me in the doorway. Sliding power doors fail to retract when pressure is applied and sometimes spontaneously close without buttons pushed or handles being touched (vehicle was sold to us with documented door noise issues that was undisclosed to us) doors will also alert that they are open while driving. Doors can not be opened unless van is in park. We have had to pull over on the interstate put van in park open and reclose doors to get the alarm to turn off. …”
