I had the same problem with mine. The first day in Yuma (where the wind blows everyday) the screws pulled out. It was under warranty and the dealer used Riv-nuts in the door frame to correct it. Two years later the bracket is still as firm as when they installed it. Yours has to be under warranty. Have the manufacturer/dealer fix it.
The other solution is to drill the holes all the way through the door, install a spacer equal to the door depth, and run 1/4" x 20 bolts with Nylock nuts through there to hold everything. That quick and dirty fix also solves the problem.
I am pretty sure I posted on this topic in the past. I will see if I can find it.

My bracket pulled out of the door and I used bigger screws to refasten it. Lasted a short while and pulled out again. I then used bolts as suggested above and it is now very secure. I also replaced the stock 20lb strut with a 13lb one to reduce the forces on the bracket.
