STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE POWER SLIDING DOORS ON THIS VAN DO NOT STOP CLOSING VERY EASILY IF AN OBSTRUCTION (IE A PERSON) IS IN THE WAY. THE REMOTE DOOR OPEN/CLOSE IS VERY SENSITIVE AND EASILY TRIGERRED. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE SOMEONE IS IN THE WAY OF THE DOOR AND A SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT. THIS HAPPENED TODAY TO MY WIFE AND WHILE SHE WAS ONLY BRUISED FROM THE INCIDENT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF ONE OF OUR SMALL CHILDREN WAS IN THE WAY OF THE DOOR. IF YOU TURN OFF THE POWER CLOSER, THE DOORS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE BY HAND. I FEEL THAT, LIKE AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOORS, THESE DOORS SHOULD BE MUCH BETTER AT DETECTING OBSTRUCTIONS AND STOPPING ACCORDINGLY.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT DUE TO MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN WAS UNABLE TO OVERRIDE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK BY USING DOOR HANDLE. DESIGN ISSUE WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR DISABLED OR ELDERLY PERSONS TO REACH ACROSS THEIR SHOULDERS TO LIFT/MOVE MANUAL UNLOCK SWITCH. *AK THE LOCK/UNLOCK SWITCH FOR THE DOORS DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN ELECTRICAL POWER IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THAT THE SWITCH SHOULD NOT UNLOCK ALL DOOORS. THAT IS, SHOULD UNLOCK ONLY THOSE DOORS THAT THE CONSUMER DESIRES TO UNLOCK. *YH

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
SLIDING DOORS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE STUCK MULTIPLE TIMES RESULTING IN BOTH DOOR HANDLES BEING BROKEN OFF. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE WE ARE UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS EASILY. THEY HAVE STUCK MULTIPLE TIMES EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VAN AND WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVEN'T KNOWN WHAT TO DO TO KEEP THEM FROM STICKING.

3 PREVIOUS TIMES THE ELECTRIC DOORS WENT FOR SERVICING TO THE DEALERSHIP.3 TIMES NEW SENSORS WERE INSTALLED. LAST INCIDENT 1/28/01 THE PASSENGER'S BACK DOOR WOULD NOT COMPLETELY CLOSE/LOCK IN PLACE, AND WOULD NOT OPEN EITHER. A VACUUM SOUND WAS MADE AS THE DOOR WOULD NOT PROPERLY CLOSE WITH AIR COMING INTO THE VAN. SIMILIAR TO CABIN AIR PRESSURE FAILURE ON A PLANE. IT WAS TERRIFYING AS WE HAD TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE TO GET HOME AND COULD NOT ENGAGE THE DOOR TO SHUT. THOUGHT IT MIGHT DISENGAGE WILL IN OPERATION.NO MANUAL OVERRIDE EXISTS FOR THE ELECTRIC DOOR FAILURE! AFRAID FOR FAMILY SAFETY.
