Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Sliding doors on chevy venture van keep opening , van is unsafe for kids or anyone to ride in the back because we aren't sure if the doors will open up . dealership told us to drive the van until doors open again so they can find the problem, i can't keep anything inside the van because you think the van is locked up and you leave the van and come back and the sliding doors are open again. this also has done this while driving the van too. the dealership unplugged the remote to see if this was the problem and told us they didn't see a problem yet , so drive the van until it happens again and bring it back in. we have 3 kids, and i don't want to see my kids hurt because a door slides open while driving. i would like them to have there kids drive around in the van until the problem happens again. i can't tell you how many times the doors open and won't shut, the problem started last yr while on vac. the dealer replaced something (weather strip on floor where the door slides) but this summer it started up again. while driving about 30 mph the driver side door open. i almost ran off the road because i thought someone was in the back seat opening the door. i thank god my kids weren't in the back seat at the time this happen. *jb
