Sliding doors: one door stopped opening all together, so passengers cannot get out on the drivers side in the back, creating a safety hazard. The passenger side sliding door opens but the alarm sounds when driving, so the master switch in on the front must be in the off position in order to drive. This makes the door inoperable unless the switch is on, and this must be done manually every time the door needs to be…

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…
