In owners’ own words

Structure mileage not reported 0 mo in service
REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH LEFT TURNS AND ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR INDICATORS SHOWING THAT DOOR IS OPEN. THE DOOR HAS NOT ACTUALLY OPENED AS OF YET. I KNOW THE 1999 MODEL HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT THEIR DOORS WERE OPENING. THIS SHOULD SERVE AS MOSTLY AN AWARENESS ALERT. I WILL HAVE DEALER LOOK AT IT WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE IN ABOUT ONE MONTH.
