Description of the problem	2006 dodge grand caravan sxt. Sliding doors are inconsistent with operation and create concern for a quick exit in an emergency situation. The sliding passenger doors either will not open with the remote key set or will not open entirely with any of the door release buttons on the interior of the vehicle. This has impacted both the driver side and passenger side sliding doors. Inability to open these doors without support of an adult has created concern for a quick exit in an emergency situation for all passengers. To open these doors without support of the automatic door opening system is also very hard. The doors are heavy and often take several attempts to hold the (black) release button down to open the door(s). My children do not have the strength to do this on their own due to this mechanical failure. The button which you should be allowed to push and automatically open the doors (from either the front driver seat or the back two rear passenger buttons are not functional). From my research, of the dodge mini-vans, i'm finding this is a very common problem. I would like to have this researched to determine the need for safety recall action. If a 9 year old child and children in their early teens cannot open these doors on their own, this presents a major safety concern. We purchased this car new in 2006 and 3 years later, the problem started impacting both doors. I will attempt to bring the minivan into dodge to inspect but the information i've gathered has proven inconsistent outcomes with dealer repairs and even more concerning, an inability to fix this issue on a permanent basis.
