I have a 2001 Chrysler town and country, I have a problem with the power sliding door, this has now happened twice first time fed. 2005 and now Dec. 2005. Both times it has happened it has been cold, single digit temp. When starting the car and the power sliding door is shut, the moter of the door kicks on and keeps trying to close the door, resulting from this, the door becomes ajar, and the auto slide door will not work plus the door will not shut the door latch freezes in the lock mode and the door will not close!!! this happened when I turn the car on, first time my kids were in the car the second time no one was in the car and the power slide door was never touched.
The power sliding side door on a 2001 Chrysler van opened automatically at 60 mph. These doors have been fixed before as they would open again after being closed but that only happened when vehicle was parked. Now it is happening while driving.
Traveling at 15mph, hit a small bump and the driver side sliding door opened 2 inches. All of the door locks in the van remained in the lock position, but the door disengaged and opened.
Consumer shifted gear into park, but vehicle was not in park ,it was still in drive. Consumer took vehicle to dealer, and is waiting for explanation of cause. Right rear seat recliner assemblies were replaced due to a rattling noise. Sliding doors don't always completely shut, while driving they will open, dealer states this is the design of the door.
