POWER SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS STOP WORKING DUE TO WIRES INSIDE WIRE HARNESS BREAKING. SPLICING THE WIRES BACK TOGETHER IS ONLY A TEMP. FIX ADDITIONALLY RUST HAS DEVELOPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDING DOORS. ADDITIONALLY, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.
IF I USE THE KEY FOB OR THE INTERIOR PANEL BUTTON TO RAISE THE TAILGATE IT WILL START TO SHUT ON ITS OWN AND WILL PUSH THEN PIN YOU DOWN QUICKLY TO THE VEHICLE UNTIL SOMEONE HITS EITHER BUTTON OR IT FINALLY DISENGAGES WHICH TAKES AWHILE. IT DOESN'T BOUNCE BACK UP IF IT TOUCHES YOUR BODY. TAILGATE WILL SOMETIMES START RAISING AND SHUTTING SEVERAL TIMES. MOSTLY HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS COOL TO COLD. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY - LOADING GROCERIES. MANUALLY UNLOCKING IT AT THE TAILGATE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY UP BUT IT DOES NOT PIN. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE COOL TO COLD. IT STARTED DOING THIS SINCE LAST YEAR AROUND THE HOLIDAY SEASON. LAST TIME WAS EARLY MARCH 2016. REPORTING SO INTERESTED BUYERS KNOW TO ASK ABOUT THIS ISSUE IF ITS NOT COLD AND FOR PRESENT OWNERS WATCH FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEN LOADING ITEMS AND TO KEEP CHILDREN/ELDERLY AWAY FROM TAILGATE AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPEN.

OUR VAN WAS SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY ON A DAY THAT WAS COOLING FROM 69F TO ABOUT 50F AT 7PM. WE HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK FROM A DRIVE TO THE STORE.

BOTH HOLES WERE A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE MIDDLE, TOP TO BOTTOM.

2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH STOW AND GO SEATS, DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN LUBBOCK, TX THE LANE HAD ABOUT 3 INCHES OF RAIN WATER IN IT. HEARD A LOUD NOISE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE VAN. THE NEXT DAY I DISCOVERED THAT THE SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY WAS MISSING. THOUGH THIS MAY NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME, IT MAY BE TO OTHERS FOLLOWING. I THINK THE WATER PRESSURE SPLASHING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE VAN CAUSED THE CABLE HOLDING THE SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY TO LOOSEN AND EVENTUALLY SNAP. *TR
