Owner Complaints (6)
Your power sliding doors aren't closing properly and are opening too far, which has damaged the motors and caused repeated beeping. This is a serious safety concern because objects or body parts hanging out the window could get crushed. You've already replaced the motor and actuator, but the problem persists, and now your left door is developing the same issue. The dealership discovered that the left door actuator was incorrectly installed in the right door from the factory, suggesting a manufacturing defect that may require complete door system inspection and replacement.

Your driver's side power sliding door doesn't always close and latch properly when you use the automatic opener. The door usually beeps to alert you that it hasn't fully closed, requiring you to manually shut it. In two instances, the door has opened on its own while parked, and you've heard reports of this happening to other owners while driving. The fix will likely involve inspecting and adjusting the door latch mechanism or replacing the door's electrical actuator assembly.

Your driver's side power sliding door won't close properly — it grinds, beeps, and shows as open on your dashboard display. When you turn off the power feature, the door also won't open manually, leaving you unable to operate it either way.

Your sliding doors trigger the car alarm even when they're properly closed. You've had the door sensor replaced, but the alarm still sounds—and it beeps more frequently when turning away from that door or coming to a stop. This appears to be a known issue affecting multiple vehicles of this model year.
