    Driver's side sliding door would not latch. Have had intermittent problems with it throughout the years. At those times, i manually close the door. Two times in the past week, i did this. 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…

    Passenger sliding door on 2002 honda odyssey sticks to the point where the handle on the outside has broken off when trying to open it. This is the second time this has happened. The door has stuck on and off over the years and the handle has been broken off once previously. The handle cost me $247 to replace at the dealer the first time, where i was told i needed to lubricate the seals on a regular basis to prevent…

    The sliding doors of our honda odyssey minivan don't (always) open when they are unlocked. They stick. This prevents passengers from getting out of the van in a timely manner in an emergency. In particular it prevents rescue workers from freeing anyone trapped inside in an accident. *tr

    Drivers side passenger door would not close, it would come very close to closing and then would retreat backwards as if something was in its way, though nothing was. I was able to manually close the door. The same day this occurred, my husband checked the car and tried taking out the fuses to see if we could reset the doors "memory'. The door would then close, no door light was lit on the dash, nor was there a…

    Driver side passenger rear sliding door will not latch completely. When the car is moving the door disengages and causes the buzzer to sound. Because the door does not latch or close completely the door cannot be locked. The car must be driven with the door not completely latched which is a safety issue as there are small children in the car. *tr

    2002 honda odyssey ex - left (driver's side) sliding door opened while i was driving with 4 children in the car. At the time i was making a right turn at a slow speed, fortunately they were all buckled in, but they were none the less terrified by the event. My son, who was closest to the door, is refusing to ride in a car. The car is at the honda dealer in keene, where they say that i need to replace the two sliding…

At first we were informed that in order for this to happen three components would have to fail simultaneously and that it was basically impossible. They have been in touch with american honda motors and were told that it is…
