HAVE HAD THE SLIDING DOOR LOOKED OUT & "RE-SET" 4 TIMES. IF WE PULL THE DOOR A LITTLE, IT WILL CLOSE, BUT WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE WITH ANY BUTTON (FRONT PANEL, KEY FOB OR SIDE PANEL). TODAY IT STARTED TO CLOSE ON MY CHILD & SHE COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP, HER BACKPACK STRAP WAS CAUGHT ON THE SEAT. PRETTY SCARY. RIGHT NOW THE KIDS ARE CLIMBING IN THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. ALSO, ABOUT 1/2 THE TIME EVEN WITH MANUALLY CLOSING THE DOOR, IT REMAINS OPEN & WILL BEEP WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR, SO I HAVE TO JUMP OUT & GO PUSH IT CLOSED. **TT
