MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON ITS OWN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY CORRODED ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. AS A RESULT, THE SEATS COULD NOT BE LATCHED INTO THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT LOCK DETACHED AND LEFT A HOLE IN THE LOCK AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE CORROSION WAS SEVERE; HOWEVER, A REMEDY COULD NOT BE OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 232,000.
I HAVE 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY THE POWER SLIDING DOORS FAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS WHICH ENTAILS NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN AND OR CLOSE SLIDING VAN DOORS. THEY WILL START TO CLOSE THEN REOPEN, NOT CLOSE AT ALL AND WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY. WHEN YOU START TO DRIVE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE BUZZER WILL BUZZ INDICATING THE DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY SEALED. MY SON HAS DIFFICULTY WITH THESE POWER DOORS AND HAS GOT HIS HAND CAUGHT ONCE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A LIABILITY WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR
THE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY. *TR

SLIDING DOOR DON'T OPEN AND CLOSE RIGHT,DOORS STAY OPEN AT REAR EDGE. *TR
2000 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS STICKY SLIDING DOORS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN AFTER IT RAINS. DEALERSHIP GREASED THE DOORS AND THE SITUATION GOT WORSE. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A FIRE. I GOOGLED PROBLEM AND OTHERS COMPLAIN. WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR IT UNLOCKS BUT WILL NOT OPEN. WHEN THE SUN COMES OUT AND YOU COME BACK TO YOUR CAR THE SLIDING DOOR IS AJAR AND UNLOCKED! *TR
MY HONDA ODYSSEY PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR GLITCHES AND NOW IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK I'VE BEEN SEARCHING ONLINE FOR HELP AND I'VE NOTICED EVERYONE WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SLIDING DOOR IT'S ALWAYS THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT'S YEAR 2000 AND I BELIEVE IT'S A PROBLEM WITH MANUFACTURING. *TR
THE POWER SLIDING DOOR ON OUR HONDA ODYSSEY STOPPED WORKING. IT IS EXTREMEMLY DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE AND OUR CHILDREN CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE SAFELY. *TR
2000 HONDA ODYSSEY DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE AND LOCK PROPERLY. *TR
THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN/CLOSE USING ANY OF THE CONTROLS. WE HAVE TO CLOSE IT MANUALLY BUT IT WON'T LATCH COMPLETELY SO WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR SLIGHTLY AJAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME WITH MY TWO DAUGHTERS SITTING THERE. BECAUSE THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPEN WE HAVE TO TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER SWITCH TO THE SLIDING DOORS TO AVOID HAVING THE CONSTANT BUZZING NOISE. THIS MEANS THEY ARE LOCKED IN THE BACK SEAT AND UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN AFTER TRIPS TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA. *TR
THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR, A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT WE HAVE HAD CONTINUAL "DESIGN FLAW" PROBLEMS WITH FROM VIRTUALLY THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAD TO PAY CLOSE TO $535 TO GET THIS DOOR LATCH REPLACED!! AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CORP. IN TORRANCE REFUSED MY REQUEST FOR ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER!! I DO NOT THINK A DOOR LATCH SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED, ON ANY CAR, AS THIS IS PART OF THE BASIC CAR CHASIS/FRAME AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. WE HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE THIS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL AND MY WIFE HAD TO CRAWL IN/ACROSS FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR TO GET IN UNTIL WE COULD GET IT FIXED. *TR
DRIVING ON I270 SOUTH TOWARDS 33 EAST AT 65 MPH WITH 4 TEENAGERS AND 1 8 WEEK OLD BABY IN MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE REAR SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR FLIES OPEN ON ITS OWN. MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT NEXT TO THE DOOR WHEN IT FLEW OPEN. IT SCARED HER HALF TO DEATH AS SHE WAS STARING AT THE PAVEMENT GOING BY AT 65 MPH. THE DOOR WASN'T EVEN ON. I TURN THEM OFF BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THEM OPENING WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T AFTER HEARING ALL THE STORIES ABOUT THESE DOORS. IT'S A GOOD THING MY DAUGHTER HAD HER SEATBELT ON AND SITTING IN HER SEAT OR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY TRAGIC. NO ONE DIED THIS TIME. WHY WILL HONDA NOT SEE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE. THE LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND YET IT IS STILL FAILING TO THE POINT THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT ON IT'S OWN. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES HERE!!! *TR
THE SLIDING DOOR ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY GETS-2000 STUCK OPEN. I KNOW IT MA NOT BE A CRASH CONCERN, BUT WHEN WE GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE IN THE WINTER WITH TWO SMALL KIDS AND IT'S 10 DEGREES OUTSIDE, IT'S NOT A SAFE SITUATION. *TR
I OWN A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY EX MINIVAN WITH AUTOMATIC SLIDING SIDE DOORS. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS, AS IT FAILS TO AUTOMATICALLY OPEN AND/OR CLOSE USING THE DASH SWITCH, REMOTE (KEY) BUTTON, OR THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE SLIDING DOOR ITSELF. THE DOOR WILL DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: UPON ACTUATION OF ABOVE OPENING METHODS, IT WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL, BUT BEEP THREE TIMES; OPEN PARTIALLY AND STOP - AND BEEP THREE TIMES; OPEN PARTIALLY, THEN CLOSE ON ITS OWN; OR SUCCESSFULLY OPEN. I ESTIMATE THE FAILURE RATE FOR FAILING TO SUCCESSFULLY OPEN TO BE APPROXIMATELY 66% - ROUGHLY 2/3 OF THE TIME. THIS VAN IS USED, AT TIMES, TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN, AND I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO BE SAFETY-RELATED, AS IT IS MOST-DIFFICULT TO OPEN THIS DOOR MANUALLY - FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE MINIVAN. *TR
POWER SLIDING VAN DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE OR OPEN COMPLETELY,WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH INFANTS IN SEATS NEXT TO DOORS THAT WILL NOT CLOSE. IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANY EMERGENCY THAT REQUIRED IMMEDIATE EVACUATION THESE FAULTY DOORS WOULD PROHIBIT TIMELY DEPARTURE FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT ANY CONVENIENT ACCESS BY EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. SO FAR HONDA IS IGNORING THIS MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT AND CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
2000 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. BOTH AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS RANDOMLY OPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITH ADULTS AND CHILDREN IN MIDDLE SEAT. *TR
I AM OWNER OF HONDA ODYSSEY 2000. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SLIDING DOORS ON THIS VEHICLE FROM EARLY ON. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES ON THESE DOORS AND THEY HAVE COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. DEALER CHARGED ME $500 TO FIX THESE DOORS IN MY RECENT INCIDENCE. THESE REPAIR CHARGES ARE A HIGHWAY ROBBERY SINCE I FEEL I SHOULD NOT BE PAYING FOR WHAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. WHY ISN'T HONDA RECALLING THESE VANS AND FIXING THESE DOOR PROBLEMS ONCE & FOR ALL? *TR
