    The power sliding doors will not close on a hill. They will start to close and then reopen automatically on there own, they will only then close when you get to level ground. I bring this up now because i was with 7 odyssey owners that have the exact same problem. *tr

    At the time of purchase i was forced to obtain an extended warranty, etching and many other things. One year later i began to have problems with the sliding doors. I informed honda because doors are covered under the extended warranty and the dealer refused to do any repairs.

I called dealer - honda carland in roswell - they…

    Welds between the rear driver's side wheel well and the vehicle floor failed/cracked resulting in water leaking into the van at this site. Dealer service department attempted to repair this 3 times without success. They determined the welds were cracked and rewelded this seam. It is not known if this solved the problem as the van has not been driven in the rain since the last repair.

Door closed normally at garage, and neither that mechanic nor the honda dealer could find any problem with door. Problem repeated sporadically through the years, and dealer could never resolve problem. I discovered that i could manually assist the door to…

    Tailgate closed unexpectedly while i was standing underneath while loading groceries. 1.) there was no warning that this was going to happen. Until this point the tailgate had functioned normally in the manual or automatic open/close mode. 2.) after the tailgate fell it never worked again until i made repairs to the hold open strut. 3.) i checked the struts and found that the drivers side strut had failed. The strut…
