What owners wrote
The power sliding doors do not work properly. They can open while driving. Open after car is shut off. They also do not open when they feel like it. Car door driver side opened on I95 at 65 MPH. My daughter watched as her stuff and her hamster flew out the vehicle.
Bought car used. It dinged and salesman said door just not closed properly. We brought it in 2 weeks later as door decides when it wants to close. Driver's side rear door to 2005 pontiac montana minivan. Dealer aligned door. Still won't close.
