Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THE POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, FAILING TO CLOSE PROPERLY, OR FAILING TO OPERATE AT ALL. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD, AND STARTED AFTER A SAFETY RECALL OF THE POWER SLIDING DOOR TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR OPENING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THAT TILL REWORK WAS DONE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT THE REQUEST OF PONTIAC BUT ALL ATTEMPTS AT REPAIRING THE PSD HAVE FAILED. THE DOOR WILL OPEN WHILE VAN IS IN MOTION, WILL NOT CLOSE, OR STOPS WORKING ALL TOGETHER. VERY CONCERNED WITH WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING AT TURNPIKE SPEED.*AK
