Reported at 6,700 miles, June 2015 Fire

Passenger side sliding door grinds when attempting electronic closure. Sometimes it doesnt close completely. On this occasion, door was completely closed, no door light on, and while driving on the highway the door electronically opened while at speed. Our 2 year old child was in his car seat on that side providing a life-threatening situation with the open door.
