GM minivans’ doors probed
From Times wire services
General Motors Corp. minivans are being investigated by U.S. safety regulators because of reports that power sliding doors on 2005 and 2006 models opened while the vans were in motion.
The inquiry covers as many as 175,000 Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6 and Saturn Relay minivans, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
The agency said it received nine complaints of doors that opened. NHTSA began a preliminary investigation, the first step in its review process. About half of such inquiries lead to recalls.
