THE BATTERY ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY WAS FOUND DEAD THIS MORNING. THIS IS MORE THAN 10 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS AND MORE THAN 50 TIMES SINCE I GOT IT IN 2007. HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACE AND STILL NO IMPROVEMENT. READING ON THE INTERNET SUGGEST A HONDA ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT THEY DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. LETTING THE ODYSSEY SIT FOR AN HOUR OR TWO SOMEHOW FIXES THE ISSUE AND IT STARTS. VERY FRUSTRATING AND NEED AN AUTHORITY TO PUT PRESSURE ON HONDA. *TR

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY, THE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY AND THERE IS POSSIBILITY THAT IT CAN OPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED, THAT CAN RESULT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE MOSTLY SMALL CHILDREN ARE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER SLIDING DOORS. ON OUR 2000 EXL ODYSSEY, THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOORS CLOSE BUT NOT QUITE ALL THE WAY, IT WILL NOT "ENGAGE", OR "CATCH". THEREFORE, THE VAN THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN (OPEN DOOR LIGHT IS ON, BUZZES CONTINUALLY WHEN PUT INTO GEAR, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON). I HAVE TO GET OUT AND BUMP THE REAR OF THE DOOR TO GET IT FLUSH. FOR SOME REASON THE BACK LOCK PART ISN'T "CATCHING". *TR
