    Door · Latches/Locks/Linkages

    I parked my van and opened the manual rear passenger door. The rear door latch would not operate when we tried to close the door. This is a significant safety issue since i have a 9 year old son who rides in the seat adjacent to the defective door. I took it to the honda dealer and was told that replacing the latch and also the defective roller arm would cost $296. *tr

    Door · Latches/Locks/Linkages

    I would like to report a safety issue with the honda odyssey minivan. The metal hinges on the driver and passenger door do a terrible job at keeping the doors open. I make sure that the door is in the detente position. It doesn't matter. A slight gust of wind or if the car is on an incline, the doors will slam shut on their own. Itt smashed & broke a bone in my left hand. It slammed close on my shins before that…

    Manual sliding doors broke. Both manual sliding doors broke within one month of each other. Cables apparently snapped which prevented the doors from being opened from the inside or outside. Had to have cables on both doors replaced. An expensive safety defect. *tr

    Back passenger door won't completely close on my 2006 honda odyssey (touring). Electronically, it gets very close, but won't shut completely. I can't manually do it either. I took it in to the dealership and was told it would cost almost $200 to even look at the problem. I cannot afford that. *tr

    Internal door handles on the sliding doors on the 2006 honda odyssey frequently stick. Consequently the automatic side sliding doors don't fully latch or securely lock. This still is a persistent problem on a vehicle that was purchased brand new. The issues were brought to honda's attention during the warranty period. They attempted to solve the problem with additional lubrication, but the problems still persisted.…
