Consumer owns a Pontiac, 1998 model Trans sport minivan. When driving at 40 mph the side doors opened without notice when pressed the button was located on the right passenger's side. Had not contacted the dealer or manufacturer regarding this matter. Consumer wanted to know if this office could investigate this problem. Also, the seats shake when driving.

Drivers power seat has a poor design. The side trim (right) bottoms-out on the vehicle floor at the back when lowering the power seat. This causes the seat to tilt laterally. As a result, the tilting over time has loosened the entire mechanism. I suspect that if this vehicle were to be involved in an accident, this seat mechanism would not retain the seat. Wouldn't this create a hazard for the driver? the increased mass would be incurred by the driver and the seat-belt.
