THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK MANUALLY, I WAS TOLD IT IS A BAD ACTUATOR. THIS POSES A SAFETY RISK FOR PASSENGERS IN THE SECOND AND THIRD ROWS IF THEY MUST EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH IS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AND SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY RISKS

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON THE EVENING OF 03/04/2021 @ 9:00PM. WHILR DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE DOING APPROX 35 MPH, MY VAN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND ABILITY TO USE POWER STEERING AND USE OF BRAKES. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP ME GET THE VAN OUT OF THE TRAVEL LANE AND SAFELY INTO A PARKING LOT. VAN DID NOT WANT TO START AFTER CUTTING OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CUTTING IT BACK ON. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VAN IT WOULDNT ACCELERATE PASSED 15MPH WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR THEN IT CONSTANTLY STALLED OUT 8-10 TIMES THE LAST MILE FROM HOME.
