| Description of the problem | Trouble with both sliding doors, replaced motor to passenger sliding door about 2 weeks after purchasing the vehicle, taken the car in multiple times since due to the doors not opening manually or with key fob. They have been checked out by dealership, but nothing has been found. I would get alerts periodically that the doors are opened while driving or turning a corner, many times when they wont open and with my kids in the car, have to pull over and open and close the doors again, its like they wont latch all the way. Now the driver side passenger door motor needs to be replaced, unable to open or close it manually at this time, i get constant alerts that the door is open while driving, i fear that it will fly open and my child might fly out. Since i have at least 5 kids in my car at all times, 2 in car seats, not many places to sit them other then next to the doors. |
