Design of sliding door is not well done because door will not automatically lock into place, like in other van doors. Contacted dealer. *akconsumer states; if parked on a hill front end down, door can close by itself without warning. Also, vehicle experiences loss of braking power, traction, on wet/bumpy roads.

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Sliding door would close whenever parked on a decline, there is nothing to lock door in that situation. Dealer notified, and informed consumer it cannot be fixed, and nothing will be done. *ak vehicle stalled intermittently hot or cold on very light acceleration from a stop, dealer could not find problem, service engine light also illuminated. Rear liftgate hatch binded due to lack of lubrication.
Ant-lock brake system had to replaced. Also, since purchase in may 2000, following components had to be replaced or repaired: lights on dashboard coming off and on/passenger side seatbelt tightened and won't release/driver's seat had loose bolts and moved/driver and passenger doors rattled/ mouldings inside fell off/passenger's window stuck/tv came on and off on its own while driving, replaced twice/interior lights stopped working when in park/ engine idled/ lights inside flickered/ fuel sender inoperative/ wires in ceiling rattling,air conditioner in rear not working/ replaced heater that did not work in rear, and passenger's airbag cover not flushing, and consumer worried it may deploy at any time.
Sliding door hinges broke, causing door to be off track. Dealer will repair vehicle.
My problems are as follows: fuel injection system, side door aligment problems, van rattles, dashboard noise.
