“When using the remote buttons for the power slider doors, there is a loud popping/grinding noise and the doors fail to open. The first time we realized this was a concern, the vehicle was parked in the driveway. Our concern is that one day the doors will quit working all together and our children will not be able to get out of the vehicle in the event of an emergency.”
