Description of the problem | On 1/23/12 while attempting to close drivers side power sliding door with remote, it was noted that while attempting to close, said door closed about half-way and then reopened. Several attempts were made to close above door until it finally did close. It was also noted at this time that when it did close it made a thumping noise. "thump... Thump... Thump..." while the door was closing. It should be stated that this problem has continued to happen several times this past week, however not all the time. The thumping noise was noted all the time though, only upon closing. Annoying, but not terrible. Tonight, 2/1/12, however is a different story. I opened the above door using the exterior door handle, the door began to open. When it (sliding door) was just about completely open (more than 3/4 open but not fully), my six year-old son attempted to climb into the van (something he has done before without there ever being a problem) when the door began to close on its own! Thankfully, i was standing right there and i was able to pull him out of harms way and stop the door from closing on him. The door then opened, when i physically stopped it from closing on my son, and then began to close again and then open, to where it stayed. It was then that i turned off the power slider and closed the door manually. I realize nowhere on this form does it ask for potential injuries, however this could have been devastating. A necessary component (a door) that one believes to be safe is not only unreliable but hazardous. |
