STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
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.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
BOTH THE REAR SLIDING DOORS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN IN COLD WEATHER. WE CAN OPEN IT ONLY AFTER THE INTERIOR OF THE VAN WARMS UP CONSIDERABLY. HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER LAST WINTER AND HE APPLIED GREASE ON THE DOOR SEALS WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. IT HAS RETURNED AGAIN THIS WINTER. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. I AM WORRIED THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE DEALER WON'T EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. *AK
