Pressed the button to open the rear passenger sliding door and it would open. When opened manually it would open only about 12 inches. Then when we were driving on the highway the door opened on its own. The door had to be manually closed and now it will not open. This is now a safety concern that in the event of a crash passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle or the door could open again while driving.

EVEN THE FRONT DOOR IS LOCKED AND IN DRIVE MODE YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR, WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND THE DOOR ARE LOCKED MY WIFE ALMOST FELL WHEN HE ACCIDENTALLY PULLED THE FRONT DOOR OPENER. ITS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND IT MAKE NO SENSE IF YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR INSIDE EVEN IF ITS LOCKED SPECIALLY WHEN ITS RUNNING. WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE THE DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THAT IF YOU CAN OPEN THE FRONT DOORS WITHOUT UNLOCKING IT. *TR
