“The driver's side power sliding door rarely works. Typically it opens 1-3 inches then stops and beeps. If I manually open it a few more inches then press the button again it works on occasion, other times I must turn off the power to move it at all. It is a 2005 MPV with only 22,500 miles. Also, on occasion the rear latch of the sliding door cycles, like it's trying to secure the door, while driving. I only recently purchased it so I don't know if this only occurs in winter (in wi) or not. I have not yet taken it to the dealer. …”
