Caravan sliding door.

Asked by GuruLKSYS Apr 22, 2019 at 12:51 AM about the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

A friend has a caravan. It’s a 2008 with a towing package. He regularly drives
off before the passenger side sliding door has fully closed. This causes the
door to re-open and is very unsafe. Can this be fixed?

The latch has usually started to engage, or so it seems, but what prevents it from continuing to lock? Does the door motor have feedback that is sensing a false door opening pull so the door then starts to reopen?

Ed92626, Yes, the door is powered, and works correctly when the van is not moving. No door misalignment is visible. I agree with you about the added stress on the door components if the van is moving. Just glad it’s not my problem.
