Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1)power sliding doors do not operate properly. intermittently, doors won't open, doors open partially and stop, and doors close partially and stop. more importantly, power doors do not stop and retract when pressure is applied in accordance with manual. today was the fourth time that one of my children hesitated when exiting the van and was stuck within the doorway when the door was automatically closing. not only did the door not stop and retract when it reached my child's body, but did not stop even when i placed the full pressure of my body against the door. today, my daughter was thrown out of the van to the ground and i incurred bruising on my left shoulder where i had braced my body against the door to stop it from advancing over her body. i have reported these problems to the dealership time and again. in 2000, they replaced some parts but the problems still occur with regularity. 2)some of the seat belts, particularly the one in the second row, driver's side, jams constantly. we are very often unable to use that seat because the seat belt gets stuck when being drawn out to be buckled. 3)the rear hatch is sometimes inoperable. the unlock button of the remote must be pressed 5 or more times for the hatch to unlock, and even then, it releases only partially. since there is no release inside the car, this is extremely inconvenient and could be dangerous, in combination with the doors not working properly. *jb
