For months, almost 8 now, I have been to the dealership numerous times to have my 2005 buick terraza serviced for problems with the sliding doors. I have had the latch system replaced on the passenger side sliding door because the door would not shut and would continue to ding. Less than 8 months later I had the entire power door module and door contacts replaced on the passenger side sliding door. I also had the contacts replaced on the drivers side sliding door, and not even 2 weeks after being repaired the drivers side sliding door would not close automatically and when we manually closed the door it would ding constantly, even while driving! So another trip into the dealership to have it looked at and it seems I need to spend another $600 dollars to have the drivers side sliding door latch system completely replaced, apparently it was fine 10 days prior when I brought into the dealership, but the few times we used the door caused major latch issues. This year alone I have spent almost $2200 on the sliding doors (not including the $600 I will be spending once the latch is ordered and replaced), the dealership loves seeing me walk in because I have yet to spend less than $500 there at a time. My fuels lines had to replaced when the van was less than 3 years old, that is only after the dealership told me it was a the fuel sensor that needed replacing, $375 for that and when I got the van home I had to have it towed back to the dealership because, come to find out, it was never the sensor, but the fuels lines that were corroded and needed to be replaced, not covered under warranty either, because replacing fuel lines is considered wear and tear... Yep after 3 years. I am wondering if it is the dealership I am taking my van to ,or the van itself... I think its a combination of both. I am just completely frustrated.

2005 buick terazza rear passenger sliding door will not close or stay closed. When closed, an alarm sounds continuously. Have had this issue serviced by buick for over three years. Buick has replaced some of the parts, but it continues to happen. The problem still exists today.

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.

Sliding driver's side rear door opened while I was fueling the car. My wife pushed the open door button. A very dangerous situation developed as the sliding door slid backwards toward the gasoline hose. I jammed the door with my body and attempted to press the door button but the door kept trying to slide back. I squeezed the handle and yanked the hose out of the gas tank filler. I splashed quite a bit of gas on the side of the car. There should be some safety switch that would prevent the sliding door from operating when the gas tank door is open. My wife was disoriented at the time because of a diabetic sugar low and felt she needed air. I had visions of the sliding door striking the gas hose and starting a fire. The door has a safety switch that prevents it from closing if an object is in the way. But there is nothing to prevent the door from opening even when it is held or strikes something.

Dt*: the contact stated the automatic sliding door locked by itself and would not open by the key or power controls. The vehicle was seen by a dealer for replacement of the power door lock motor. Although the door lock problem was corrected, the door rattled while driving at various speeds. The vehicle is currently awaiting further inspection by the dealer. *ak updated 5/10/2006 - the vehicle rolled back while on hills.

2005 buick terraza left sliding door would not open either electronically or manually. Door later opened while vehicle was in motion. *ts the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times but they were unable to find the cause of the problem. They did update the sliding door module per service bulletin 05-08-64-013 but that did not correct the problem.
