5 Door Hinge problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Venture

Failure Date: 10/01/2004

Automatic sliding door on driver side opens by itself. I will close the door using the keyless remote or the button on the inside of door frame but door will reopen. Happens multiple times in a single attempt to close door. Slope of vehicle is not a factor as it will reopen when van is parked on even ground. Cold weather may be factor. There is always a loud "kachunk" as I assume the mechanism is trying to work. To finally get it to stop reopening in single incident, I will engage the lock or will turn off automatic option. Have made numerous calls to dealer and have taken van in twice to be inspected. Each time mechanics are not able to duplicate problem and end up "cleaning" the track and adjusting striker. I am concerned that the door is not latching properly and may pose danger of injury to my small children in accident.
