THE LATCH ON OUR POWER SLIDING DOOR IS NOT LATCHING. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL WAS SENT OUT FOR IS WHAT THE LATCH IS DOING AGAIN. THE DOOR HAS OPENED UP ON US WHEN WE WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. WE SHUT THE POWER OFF TO THE DOOR, LOCKED THE DOOR AND DO NOT ALLOW ANY ONE OF THE KIDS TO USE THE DOOR.
