| Description of the problem | The cable on the automatic sliding door frayed and broke, preventing the door from securely closing. For that day, the door would slide open or shut depending on how i drove and the angle of the terrain. Then later in the day, the door would not close at all. I was able to slide it shut about halfway and then it would get stuck. I figured out that the broken cable was getting tangled in the door, preventing it from closing so i had to cut the cable to close the door. A loose door like this is dangerous because it is heavy and would sometimes slide back on the kids. This door is a very heavy door and can easily hurt someone. The cost to repair is prohibitive so we have had to switch the door to be used manually, but sometimes it still does not lock in place in the open position. *tt |
