Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 10 year old niece attempted to open the power sliding door on the right side of our 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette outside the mall. The motor was already running, in park, as I had come to pick up my daughter and niece from the mall. The door appeared to be locked since it would not open, so I pushed 'unlock' a few times as she and my grown daughter tried to open the door. I just heard a clicking sound of the unlock mechanism as if it was locking and unlocking. The door would not open, so my niece entered through the manual side door on the left side of the van. …”
NHTSA complaint #11056021, filed 2017-12, 188,000 miles“The contact stated the sliding door on the left side opened without warning. Also, the door chime alarm sounded while driving various speeds. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer who determined the fuse to door alarm could not be removed because it was a safety feature. The dealer cleaned the door contacts and replaced the locks. The problems persisted. The manufacturer was not alerted.”
