| Description of the problem | In the past 5 months, i have been having problems with the automatic sliding doors on both sides of the van. After activating the close button on the side or with the remote, the doors close and then re-open by them selves repeatedly. On several occasions we had closed the door and driven off and the door would open by it self. This is dangerous, someone or something could have fallen out. When the doors will not stay closed, you have to physically using your body to push and hold the door in the close position to make it stay closed. I took it to the dealer and they charged me 2 hrs labor to look at it and they could not replicate the problem. They said if it keeps happening he suggested changing all the lock buttons and a new ecu for about $900 as i am out of warranty as of this past march. This is crazy and dangerous. |
