I have a handicap accessible van made by m.c. Mobility and gm. My automatic sliding door opens itself and executes the ramp at different times. Once I was at the drive thru and put my car in park and it opened the door and executed the ramp. Other times it has opened and closed by itself. One time during an outdoor event some folks watched my car for entertainment for 4 hours and during that time period it opened and closed itself 14 times. We have had the door worked on many times and it is well documented and I would be happy to share the documentation. The wheels on my door have been changed several times I have replaced my car battery and the batteries of both key fobs. Right now it has been working correctly for about 60 days
The driver side sliding door continues to open and when you lock it manually it chimes while you are driving. The sensors have been replaced and the lock but nothing is working right.
2005 pontiac montana. Consumer states problem with front passenger door *tgw the consumer stated the front passenger door had to be repaired twice in less than one year at a cost of $117.69. The second time, the consumer had to pay $ 109.82. The dealer replaced the door panel clips and door handle.
I have a problem daily with the passenger side power sliding door, when I close the door it comes back open. I have to open and close the door several times for the alarm chime to stop and the door completely close. I have taken the vehicle to dealer who claims to have fixed the problem when the van was under warranty, but that's not true because the problem still continues! This is a safety issue especially since I have small children. I have taken my vehicle to 4 different dealerships who have been unable to fix the problem. I believe it should be a recall on the power sliding door for the 2005 pontiac montana.
