2005 Buick Terraza locks problems

During cruise on highway (I-95 in florida) while on vacation the left rear power sliding door became unlatched and warning chimes sounded repeatedly and interior lights illuminated, this occurred several times again on this trip there was an investigation by the federal safety agency in 2008 report #ea07019 which determined no defect was present which would require a recall. I beg to differ with that assessment there most certainly is a problem here, gm issued tsb #07-08-007 and #07-08-007 a-d which tells dealerships how to repair this problem. Please look into this matter again it is very unsettling to have my kids riding in the rear and having a door unlatch at highway speeds thank you for your time and consideration.

I was involved in an accident and had front end damage. The air bag sensor and light are on indicating that the air bag deployed; however, it did not. We have also experienced electrical problems as well with the van. The sliding door chime comes on randomly when I we are driving. Work had to be done previously on the wiring. Occasionally I hear rattling noises from the front end of the vehicle when I drive. The van also shakes excessively when approaching speeds over 45-50 miles per hour when I put on the brakes.

Door locks will not unlock, they just click. Was able to jimmy front doors but then they would not lock. Had baby been in back seats there was no way to get them out without someone very small climbing over the front seat into the far back, very dangerous. On star could not remote open vehicle either. Drove to dealership and discovered the remote fob thought it was locking the car and started it. Dealership says they have never seen this happen before.

The driver's side power sliding door constantly would lock and unlock while driving. It would also not shut and emit a warning bell even when nothing was obstructing the door. I was told it would cost over $1000 to replace the sensor and that might not even fix it. I finally had the dealer disconnect the automatic door. So we now open and close it manually. This is a safety issue, since the lock/unlock would occur when in drive and due to the number of complaints something needs to be done.

Power sliding doors in the rear fail to close on a repeated basis, often having to try and close them 10 to 12 times. After reading about this known issue and how others vehicle owners have reported the door(s) opening on their own while driving, I felt I needed to report my malfunction with the door sensors.
