The passenger side automatic sliding door came off track and shattered the rear window. Glass flew all over our daughter in her car seat. The van had recall power sliding door service done, but it still failed. Roller bearings were badly worn.

NHTSA ODI report, 2021-08-18

The sliding door was opening (Via keychain button), but opened only halfway before slamming shut very quickly. It was like it thought it hit something in by the back tire, but there was nothing there.

NHTSA ODI report, 2013-11-30

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.
