What is wrong
Vehicle description: minivan. The power door lock remote control actuator unlatches the door in response to input from the remote transmitter. Excessive grease in the actuator could cause a slow return of the activation lever to the proper latching position.
The risk
If the activation lever has not returned to the proper latching position by the time the sliding door closes, the door will not latch.
The fix
Dealers will replace the power door lock remote control assembly.
