| Description of the problem | I always use the keyfob to open the passenger side power sliding door. First thing this morning on my way to drop my son off at daycare, the sliding door opened just fine but was a little sluggish in closing. I had to make a stop at cvs to buy some cold medication and the sliding door jammed the next time i tried it. No amount of pushing the keyfob or in-vehicle buttons would cause the door to open/ close fully. The door was permanently jammed with an opening about 4-5 inches wide. Fortunately, the cvs is very close to the daycare and i asked for help moving his stuff while i carried him in. I could not risk driving around with the door open no matter what the distance because of the safety issues. I promptly dropped the car off at the dealership. The 2 mile drive to the dealership with the door ajar and the alarm beeping the whole time couldn't have felt longer. I've yet to hear back from them, but i did some online research and it sounds like the sliding door motor has failed. I am very concerned by the frequency that this problem occurs. I am shocked that there has been no recall due to the inherent danger this defect could pose for passengers. |
