Default Electric door closing

2008 Caravan with electric sliding slide doors. One door gets about 95% of the way closed and then opens back up. After multiple tries or with a little nudge it will close. Is there a sensitivity adjustment?

Does the recall or flash go back to 03? In cold weather my electric doors won't open or close on their own. And since they didn't incorporate a clutch, the doors are difficult to open and close manually.

We had similar issues with door closures on our 2006 Grand Caravan. It was out of warranty and required a new wiring harness as the other one fell victim to the know wiring issue (yet wasn't covered under a recall).

Now our other door is acting up too, but still no recall for a 2006 aged vehicle...
