Doors do not work properly. They do not close at times. Our passenger door won't close. When you drive, it opens automatically. This was recalled in 2000 but not 2001. There is no way to keep it shut manually. Someone could fall out, van is useless. Costs an arm and a leg to fix. *tr

Sliding rear doors fail to open or close. One must remove fuse #13 to reset the door. In the even of an accident or emergency, passengers sitting in the re rear seats could be trapped in the vehicle. Dealer repair quotes are in the $400 - $600 range. But the removal of a fuse resets the doors. Something is not right here. This happens several times a year and has been happening for the last 5 years. *tr

2001 honda odyssey: the sliding side doors intermittently stick shut for no apparent reason, and they will not open until they decide to cooperate. This, to my mind, is a very serious safety concern as people in the vehicle would not be able to exit, and emt personnel would be greatly hindered in extracting victims of a crash. This condition can and does obtain for days at a time until, suddenly and for no apparent…

My brother-in-law looked up if this problem was mentioned online. The problem was mentioned and they said you have to disconnect a battery cable then reconnect the battery cable so it will reset the electronics for the power sliding doors. Sure enough…

2001 honda odyssey minivan power sliding doors keep failing especially in icy conditions. Several times i have had my children in my car when the doors failed to operate fully. I had to crawl to the back through my front doors to reach my very young children to put them in and out of their car seats. Then i needed to drive home in icy conditions with the door partially open next to one of my children. In addition,…

We have a 2002 honda odyssey the sliding doors will continue going no matter what is in the way. On several occassions i have been put my kids in their car seats and the door starts to close. The door would have crushed me if i did not jump out of the way. If that would have been a child it would kill them. I would think the mini van would have some kind of sensor on the doors but it doesn't. *tr

Honda odyssey minivan power side doors short out regularly and will not open or close automatically. The doors will still function manually but require a strong adult. Youths have trouble opening the doors. This poses a safety hazard. This is a common problem with this type of vehicle and requires regular visits to the mechanic to keep the doors operable. *tr

Sliding side doors stick and do not open periodically. This problem began during the 1st year we had the van. When this happens the door must be opened from the outside, but it does not always open easily, evev from the outside. I am the original owner, & the dealer has not been able to correct this problem. So the problem began in 2000 and is still ocurring. *tr

The automatic sliding doors both stopped functioning. I learned that they could be reset by removing fuse #13 for a few seconds and replacing it. This worked until it happened again several months later. This time it didn't help. Now one door works but because the other doesn't i have to turn off the auto-door switch because it buzzes constantly. I have also had the clock light burn out and my honda mechanic (who…

While exiting our 2001 honda odyssey minivan, my 2 year old daughter got her foot caught in the motorized door mechanism as the door was opening. I understand there is some type of sensor to detect an obstruction when the door is closing but there is no sensor to detect an obstruction when the door is opening. She had her foot pinched in the mechanism along the door sill. Her foot was "squashed". We took her to the…
