For a few months now i have noticed that when i make left turns, whether from a stopped position or a speed of 0-5mph, the van jerks and slows to a almost stop. I am afraid that it will shut down and cause a very serious accident one day. I have called honda a few times to inquire about it and nothing is being done. The breaks are only a year old and seems to work fine but there is a noise every time i push the…

Passenger side sliding door came open about 10 inches while i was driving down the interstate. The power door quit latching and the door ajar light was on randomly. For the rest of the trip, we had to keep pressing the button to shut the door every time it came open. We also had to move the kids around so that no one was sitting in the seat closest to the door. This same thing happened with the driver-side sliding…

Seemed to have latched since the light went out. Driving down the road with my 3 year old on that side, secured in a car seat and the door opened - even though i had the switch to manual. Had to try to get off the road, while at…

I have even installed a remote starter, so i can have the car running trying to heat up the inside for 20 minutes or so. This…

Passenger side auto-sliding door opens and closes itself on occasion; has not yet happened while driving, as having door locked seems to prevent it from opening on its own. Usually closes itself while i am leaning in putting my child in the car seat, and pushes me against the door frame until the sensor makes it open again. *nlm

This is a serious potential safety hazard. I was unable to get to my daughter and get her out of the vehicle because of the sliding side doors sticking. Had there been an emergency, who knows what could have happened. Honda looked at it and lubed the door. I looked online and found many other consumers with the same complaint. This is very serious and please investigate as this could be a matter of life or death. Dt
