Sliding door soft-close motor bangs/jumps when temperatures go below freezing, occasionally causing sliding door to latch improperly. The Mazda dealer could not identify a cause. The only "solution" offered was an expensive door motor replacement with no guarantee it would fix the problem and they suggested I try a body shop instead. Since the problem goes away above freezing and spring has come it is no longer possible to reproduce the problem for anyone else. I will have to wait until the return of below freezing temperatures in the fall when the problem will return, as it did last year. |
