LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE REAR SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND ENGINE IS OFF. IT ALSO OPENS WHEN I ENTER THE DRIVERS SIDE AS I CLOSE THE DRIVERS DOOR. YESTERDAY IT OPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES WITHIN SECONDS BEFORE I FINALLY GOT IT TO STOP. IF I LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE UNLOCKED IT WILL OPEN SOMETIME LATER AFTER I HAVE GONE INTO THE HOUSE. THE ONLY WAY I CAN KEEP IT FROM OPENING IS TO MAKE SURE IT IS LOCKED. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO OPEN WHILE I AM IN MOTION. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
ONE DAY I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T LATCH ALL OF THE WAY. AFTER ABOUT 10 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE DOOR TO LATCH COMPLETELY, IT FINALLY DID. BUT WHILE ON THE ROAD, I HEARD THE WARNING SOUND LETTING ME KNOW THAT MY DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WAS AJAR. THE DOOR DIDN'T COMPLETELY OPEN, BUT WAS CRACKED AS I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO GET ANOTHER REPAIR DONE UNDER WARRANTY AND I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD FIX THE SLIDING DOOR PROBLEM AS WELL. THEY HAD DECIDED THAT IT WAS THE SEALS AND REPLACED ALL OF THEM, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE THEN AND NOW MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS STILL OCCURRING. *TR
