Default 2001 Dodge Caravan power sliding door issue

The passenger side power sliding door will not stay closed even if it is locked when driving on a rough road or hit a bump.

The back side pops open a little and then you have to shut it manually before the power door will work. It will power close just fine and works ok until we hit a bump.

It doesn't open all the way just a little and it did this before I replaced the cable.

Is there some adjustment on the rear latch?

Anyone have this problem?

Thanks,
Tom

it sounds lke the latch has worn out. usually the actuators fail and you replace long before this. with it closed push on it from the inside and if it falls open that's most likely the prob. the power slide won't work when this happens because it sees the door is not closed. i'd surprised if it doesn't have a code in the psdm for incomplete door close.
when it opens from the button does it work correctly if it's closed allop the way first?
