Rear driver's side sliding door shut and locked one day and never opened again. It's not a power door, so I'm guessing either the power lock failed or the handle mechanism failed. Can't push or pull the lock, so I have no idea - just that I'd probably have to bust the inner door panel to get to it. Can't open the door, so I'm assuming I'd end up breaking the panel trying to get it off the closed door. Fortunately the passenger side slider still works, so while only having one usable door on our 4 door van is inconvenient, it's not the end of the world. This van is nothing but problems anyway. It's not worth putting any more money into it. It just hit 117,000 and the head gaskets just went - right after we put new tires and brakes on it - of course.
