Beginning at 15K miles the power sliding doors began not functioning properly. The would automatically open as if there was an obstruction in the doorway. At 18K miles there was a complete failure to the motor drive assembly. After repair both doors continued to auto open. During normal driving conditions at interstate speed the door did come open with no passengers in it. When the doors are not functioning properly you must deactivate lock out rocker switch on overhead console, then manually close. If you re-energize the lock out switch door will auto open. At times the door ajar chime will sound while the doors are shut and locked and will not turn off, once to the point of running out the battery. When doors do not want to shut they force themselves open repeatedly. Multiple occasions a month since 2006, I have had it in for service numerous times with no success. The motor and control logic sits adjacent to the rear seatbelt mechanism. Both seatbelts in the 3rd row are not working properly since they have attempted to repair this problem.

Whistle noise from front of vehicle around 60 mph. Dealer has replaced the front windshield seal, door seal, and a gasket under the hood but this has not helped. The dealer told me that they didn't hear the whistle unless they drove it 90 mph!!! I was told that this is a problem with Pontiac's design and it can not be fixed. Passenger side sliding door doesn't stay shut and doesn't open when outside handle is pulled and motor running too long and grinding after door has closed. The door motor has been replaced yet there is still a grinding noise when the door shuts. Headlights surging causing me to constantly be bright lighted by oncoming traffic. The dealer told me that this is normal!

My 3 year old son pushed the button to close the automatic sliding side door and the door caught his left thumb and part of the palm. I took him to the immediate care center and he had a bone that was chipped in his thumb. They put a splint on his thumb and was going to re X-ray him in about a week.

The door design is poor. If one is not directly up against the door it jams and a child could get trapped. If one is in the doorway it takes a lot of force to reopen the door. The consumer stated that the sliding door poses a safety hazard for small children. The consumer stated that a child could not exhert the force necessary to cause the door to reopen and could be injured while being dragged / pushed by te door until they are lodged between the door and the jam.
