“The sliding door on the right side will not open from inside, leaving the back and rear passengers no way to quickly escape in an emergency. I understand this a widespread problem on GM minivans, and I would like to know what is being done about it.”
NHTSA complaint #717860, filed 2000-01“In a parking lot went to open the sliding door and the door would not slide open. Was trying to get inside the driver's side door and was not able to. Made the necessary repairs themselves. It appear that the lock mechanism broke off inside the door.”
