The electrical sliding door is opening on its own at night. I was not sure if this was recalled on this vehicle. I could not find it. We also had a 2007 honda odyssey that the sliders had the same issue and was recalled. I believe this is recalled for doors opening while driving. It had happened previously before happening last night.

When automatic sliding door open/close is enabled the door will open, but will not close. When the doors are placed in manual mode, the door panel comes loose from the force of the door closing making it so the door cannot be opened because the loose door panel extends out just far enough to wedge itself like a door stop.

I have found the power sliding door open when i returned to my parked van. This has happened about 4 times. I have taken my van for recall 18v-795 which has to do with the power sliding door components, but i found my side sliding door open again even after the recall fix. So i think honda has not completely fixed the whole problem.

Takata recall second: upon closing the rear sliding doors they became stuck in an open position. It took stopping and physically closing them to ensure they would close and lock. Upon research honda has a recall for this brand new van for the sliding doors as well but failed to mention it during our recent service and complaint. The vehicle was parked and loading.

Panel behind the gas pedal and brake pedal is missing. This exposes a large area of electrical wires. A driver will easily be able to get his feet there while stretching his legs and intentionally mess up the wiring. This is an electrical fire hazard and also a safety hazard. Pictures uploaded. Earlier models (2006 which i own) has a majority if this area covered by panel. I contacted the dealer and they said it is…

Sliding doors do no close at times. It is inconsistent and when taken to the dealer they cannot replicate. There are numerous complaints online as well as videos of the issue. I had an issue where the passenger sliding door stopped opening altogether. The dealership said they replaced the mechanism that opens the door as well as the sensors on both sliding doors to address the closing of the doors. The passenger…

Sliding doors will not close. Sometimes the door will close almost to the end and then recoil or the door will not close at all (it just beeps). A large number of people appear to be having this issue with all sorts of fixes that are not solving the problem (https://www.odyclub.com/forums/81-2018-odyssey/309801-driver-s-side-sliding-door-stopped-closing.html#/topics/309801?page=6) and appears related to nhsta…

Both driver and passenger side rear sliding doors often fail to close using the electric closing system. This is dangerous if not noticed because the doors are not latched. This happens while the vehicle is stationary.

The passengers side sliding door would not open automatically. The open/close button on the dash would not open the door either. The key fob wouldn't open it. We shut off the automatic door feature and the door still would not open manually. This is a huge safety issue. After driving the car home, the door opened without issue.
