The sliding doors are unsafe. They do not stay locked and are hard to close. I have seen were several other vehicle owners have had issues with the sliding doors. I have slammed the doors and the doors still show as opened and have slid open while i am driving. This is actually the 2nd time it happened. The auto function of the doors also doesn't work well.
