    The passenger side power sliding door will not open/close using any of the controls. We have to close it manually but it won't latch completely so we are forced to drive with the door slightly ajar. This is a huge safety issue for me with my two daughters sitting there. Because the door is slightly open we have to turn off the main power switch to the sliding doors to avoid having the constant buzzing noise. This…

    I am owner of honda odyssey 2000. I have had problems with sliding doors on this vehicle from early on. After the warranty expired, i have had multiple failures on these doors and they have cost me hundreds of dollars. Dealer charged me $500 to fix these doors in my recent incidence. These repair charges are a highway robbery since i feel i should not be paying for what is clearly a manufacturing and design defect…
