Consumer Description

THE REAR DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. THE SECOND TIME WE WERE CHARGED $80 TO CLEAN THE CONTACTS. THE THIRD TIME THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE MOTOR DUE TO AN INTERNAL TIMING FAILURE AT A COST OF OVER $1000. THIS DOOR HAS BEEN USED VERY LITTLE SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE VAN AND IT POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD SINCE IT CLOSES, THE ALARM SOUNDS AND THEN THE DOOR REOPENS ON ITS OWN. THE DEALER REPORTED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE TIMING ON THE MOTOR WITHOUT REPLACEMENT. *TR
