Power doors consistently fail to operate properly. Passenger side sliding door opens while driving and, often, cannot be shut manually. The last visit to the dealership, 2 days ago, they informed us they would replace some of the door parts. Despite 'fixing' the problem, the door will not shut at all and the dealer replaced the sensors so it no longer buzzes when the door is open. This is a severe problem. Van has…

We have a 2000 honda odyssey with 40,000 miles on it. Great car, except the power sliding door latches keep giving out. This happened during warranty period too and was returned to dealer for repair. However, no parts were replaced; they just reset the computer (cleared error codes). But the problem recurs. Now honda has recommended we pay $700 to install new re-designed lock mechanisms ( we are out of warranty…

The left automatic sliding door no longer closes all the way on its own (misses by about 1/32") and to keep the buzzer from sounding continuously, you have to "bump" the door closed with your hip. There is also a small, sharp point that is trying to work its way through this door from the inside, and it's getting worse. I took it to honda and they said that they've seen this problem before and fixing it would cost…

The passenger sliding door would automatically open while driving. Intermittently the sliding doors would lock by themselves, and not open from either side. Also, the door ajar/open alarm remained on while driving, and both doors would be closed. Consumer would have to turn off the sliding door switch to turn off the alarm, which caused both doors not to open in case of an emergency. The vehicle is at the dealer. *ak

Both of my 2000 honda odyssey sliding doors could not be opened today. They get stuck very often. It seems to be related to moisture getting into the door because they get stuck most often after bad weather. The danger here is if there an accident and the doors can not be opened to get out a child from either the inside or the outside.*ak
