With vehicle parked (not running) and all doors/hatches locked, I was able to open the passenger power sliding door. Security system did come on (lamps blinked & horn sounded), but I was still able to open a supposedly locked door.

Door lock on right hand slider is inpoerative. Van has been to dealer 6 times to repair, Chevrolet contacted, no resolution. Dealer is waiting to get a loaner car to proceed with diagnostics.

The Chevrolet Venture passenger power sliding door has a gap at the base large enough to trap a child. The door does not stop while reversing and the result of this can be seen at www.thecarplace.com/Venture.htm please, please go see this video -- third on the page. I test vehicles and have no further interest in this one. But this is a safety problem that warrants some action. I look forward to testing other power sliding doors on minivans.
