Chrysler Town & Country power sliding doors open partially and stop, intermittent operation issues reported on Chrysler Town & Country

Some Chrysler Town & Country owners report experiencing issues with power sliding doors that open partially and then stop, along with intermittent operation problems. These issues may stem from a failure of the sliding door actuator, particularly when the unit is stuck in the "lock" position. Additionally, aggressive handling of the automatic sliding door can lead to further operational complications. Owners have also noted that problems with lock switches in the driver or passenger doors, or with the key fob, can result in only one door responding to commands. Furthermore, some report that power sliding doors lose their assist functionality when using the inside or outside handles, indicating potential issues with the door mechanism. Chrysler has acknowledged these sliding door problems, which led to a federal investigation, and has taken steps to address them. In cases where the overhead button activates the wrong sliding door, there may be a wiring or control system issue at play.
