THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A FEW FAILURES TO CLOSE COMPLETELY BUT EVENTUALLY IT DID CLOSE PROPERLY. HONDA SERVICE SAID IT REQUIRED A NEW MOTOR (COST $600 CDN), BUT MANAGED TO CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY AND SHOWED US HOW TO SHUT OFF THE "BEEPING". WE HAVE AVOIDED USING THAT DOOR, BUT THIS WEEKEND A FRIEND OPENED IT AND WE COULD NOT SHUT IT PROPERLY. WE HAD A 6-HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM THE COTTAGE. SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY HOME THE DOOR SLID OPEN WHEN MAKING A TURN. I MANAGED (FROM THE FRONT SEAT) TO PULL THE DOOR BACK TO ALMOST CLOSED. WE HAVE NOW TAKEN IT BACK TO HONDA -- THE COST TO FIX WILL BE ABOUT $600. FOR SAFETY REASONS, THERE SHOULD BE A MANUAL OVERRIDE TO KEEP THE DOORS CLOSED.

I HAVE OWNED MY HONDA ODYSSEY SINCE 2004 AND I LOVE IT. I HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH HONDA IN GENERAL. THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THE SLIDING DOORS STICK SO MUCH THAT I HAVE TO PUSH ON THE INSIDE AND PULL ON THE OUTSIDE IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO OPEN. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 OF THE HANDLES WHICH WERE AROUND $80-$90 EACH TIME BECAUSE THEY ARE PLASTIC AND KEEP ON BREAKING. THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BROKE AGAIN AND I HAVEN'T YET GOTTEN IT FIXED.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS HAD TROUBLE (SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES) WITH ITS SLIDING POWER DOORS NOT LATCHING PROPERLY AND I'VE HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS ON THEM OVER THE 8 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. AS OF A FEW DAYS AGO, MY DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL USING THE POWER. I HAVE A BABY CARSEAT INSTALLED IN THE SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT, SO I'VE HAD TO GET MY BABY IN AND OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, AND I REALIZED THAT IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IN MY CAR, THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY BABY OUT QUICKLY. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR, I WOULD HAVE TO REACH INTO THE CAR FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR, SLIDE THE LOCKING MECHANISM INTO THE "UNLOCKED" POSITION, TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE SLIDING DOORS, AND THEN USE A LOT OF FORCE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR. AND SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE TRIED THIS, THE LOCKING MECHANISM IMMEDIATELY SLIDES ITSELF BACK INTO THE "LOCKED" POSITION BEFORE I AM ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR, A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT WE HAVE HAD CONTINUAL "DESIGN FLAW" PROBLEMS WITH FROM VIRTUALLY THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAD TO PAY CLOSE TO $535 TO GET THIS DOOR LATCH REPLACED!! AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CORP. IN TORRANCE REFUSED MY REQUEST FOR ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER!! I DO NOT THINK A DOOR LATCH SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED, ON ANY CAR, AS THIS IS PART OF THE BASIC CAR CHASIS/FRAME AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. WE HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE THIS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL AND MY WIFE HAD TO CRAWL IN/ACROSS FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR TO GET IN UNTIL WE COULD GET IT FIXED.

DRIVING ON I270 SOUTH TOWARDS 33 EAST AT 65 MPH WITH 4 TEENAGERS AND 1 8 WEEK OLD BABY IN MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE REAR SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR FLIES OPEN ON ITS OWN. MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT NEXT TO THE DOOR WHEN IT FLEW OPEN. IT SCARED HER HALF TO DEATH AS SHE WAS STARING AT THE PAVEMENT GOING BY AT 65 MPH. THE DOOR WASN'T EVEN ON. I TURN THEM OFF BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THEM OPENING WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T AFTER HEARING ALL THE STORIES ABOUT THESE DOORS. IT'S A GOOD THING MY DAUGHTER HAD HER SEATBELT ON AND SITTING IN HER SEAT OR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY TRAGIC. NO ONE DIED THIS TIME. WHY WILL HONDA NOT SEE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE. THE LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND YET IT IS STILL FAILING TO THE POINT THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT ON IT'S OWN. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES HERE!!!

RIGHT SLIDING DOOR FAILS TO OPEN. WOULD ALLOW MANUAL OPENING ON SEVERAL OCCASION THEN THE DOOR LATCHED INTO LOCKED POSITION AND WOULDN'T OPEN EVEN MANUALLY. TAKEN TO DEALER SERVICE CENTER. THAT WORKED ON IT HALF A DAY TO FIND THAT THEY REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG AND CAN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. NO REMEDY. TOOK TO A HONDA/ACURA SHOP TO HAVE LOOKED AT. SAME OUTCOME. SAID EVERYTHING LOOKS TO BE IN WORKING ORDER HOWEVER THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE WHY DOOR WAS NOT OPENING AND COULD NOT GET THE DOOR OPENED. CLAW THAT HOOKS TO LATCH WILL NOT RELEASE. DEALER SERVICE CENTER SUGGESTED CUTTING THE LATCH WITH PLASMA CUTTERS IN ORDER TO GET THE DOOR OPEN, HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THE WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THEN. WE CAN'T FIND ANYONE WHO CAN FIX THE DOOR. WE ARE IN A SAFETY DILEMMA AS OUR 2 YEAR OLDS CAR SEATS SITS ON THIS SIDE OF THE DOOR. SHOULD THERE BE AN EMERGENCY WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FAST ENOUGH TO GET ALL THREE CHILDREN OUT DUE TO THE DOOR NOT WORKING. CAN ANYONE PROVIDE A SOLUTION?????

HONDA ODYSSEY 2000. SOME MANUFACTURING DEFECT HAS CAUSED THE REAR MOTORIZED SLIDING DOOR TO FAIL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE SECURELY. IF THE DOOR HANDLE, OUTSIDE OR INSIDE WAS PULLED OR BUMPED THE DOOR CAME UNLATCHED BUT WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE, WHETHER THE VEHICLEWAS IN PARK OR NOT. THE DOOR OPEN LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE SO THE DRIVER WAS UNAWARE THAT CHILDREN RIDING IN THE BACK WERE AT RISK.

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS THAT MALFUNCTION. THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THE DOOR IS NOT FLUSH WITH THE SIDE (REAR) PANEL. THERE IS ABOUT A 3/8 INCH GAP BETWEEN THE REAR PANEL AND THE BACK OF THE DOOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DOOR MIGHT NOT PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SECURE. WILL THE DOOR FLY OFF DURING AN IMPACT? I HAVE HAD TO TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE DOORS SO THAT IT OPERATES MANUALLY. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE - MY WIFE AND FOURS KIDS, INCLUDING MY 15 YEAR OLD SON CANNOT OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT EXITING THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. THE KIDS MAY BE IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE TRAPPED. IT ALSO WOULD BECOME A PROBLEM IF WE HAD TO ENTER THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND WERE NOT ABLE TO DO SO.
