| The left rear sliding door has failed twice. it will close but not latch all of the way. the alarm goes off. the right sliding door has failed twice. it will close momentarily and then automatically reopen. a friend found my door wide open in a parking lot wide open. this could result in theft of contents of entire van. it could also result in someone hiding in the cargo area awaiting for my return undetected. it also leaves me stranded with my three kids. i do not want to drive a car with a door wide open with three young children. i do not want to drive a car when the door is not latched all of the way either. my neighbor has had his car in 7 times also for his sliding doors. i am going to arbitration on tuesday, may 23 hoping it be declared a lemon. my neighbor will be doing so soon also.*ak | |||
