2005 Honda Odyssey Body & Structure Problems

I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey. About 6 months ago the drivers side sliding door fell off the tracks. This happened while we were trying to close the door but it would not slide at all. We were out at a restaurant and it was imperative that the door had to be shut because it was not safe to drive in that condition. We were able to somewhat put it back on but it can not be used at all at this time. When the door fell off, it gouged the side of the van, damaged the gas filler door, and the rear door is hard to close. I don't know if its closed or not until I get in the car and see that the indicator light on. Also, the car alarm goes off on its own even though my son disabled it. It's very disruptive. After do some research, I have learned that this is an ongoing problem with Honda Odysseys. Honda needs to be held responsible because this is obviously a manufacturer defect. I can not afford to spend $1000 to replace it nor should it have to spend money to fix it.

THE DOOR WAS NOT OPEINING PROPERLY SO I WHENT TO OPEN MANUALLY ANTHE HEAVY DOOR CAME OFF THE VAN SCRACHED THE HELL OUT OF MY VAN AND HURT ME TRYING TO HOLD IT AS NOT TO SCRACH THE VAN I WAS ALONE AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP ME THIS IS VERY DANGERIOUS AND IVE READ IT HAPPENS OFTEN I CAN NO LONGER USE THE DOOR AS IT KEEPS HAPPINING

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. MY DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF AND WAS HANGING BY THE CABLE USED TO SHUT IT. THANK GOD IT HAPPENED TO ME ON BOTH OCCASIONS AS THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY. I HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE STATING THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. I AM FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF ONE SAID PERSON TO GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE LATCH EVEN THOUGH UNLOCKED AS THE DOOR LOCK KNOB WAS UP. THIS PROBLEM WAS OBSERVED ABOUT MID DECEMBER 2019. TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER, SOUTH TACOMA HONDA, AND THEY COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR EITHER. THEY SAID THE INTERIOR PANEL WOULD NEED TO BE DESTROYED TO ACCESS THE MECHANISMS AND REPAIR. HAD THE REPAIR DONE BY SOUTH TACOMA HONDA WHO REPLACED THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TEAR IT OUT, LATCH AND ACTUATOR FOR $1,092.56. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY THE ACTUATOR AND LATCH FAILED. I'M CONCERNED THIS COULD OCCUR WITH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR TOO. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE DOOR(S) WON'T OPEN.

SLIDE DOOR CAME OFF IT'S TRACK AND FELL OFF COMPLETELY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LEFT OUR FAMILY STRANDED. WE WERE STATIONARY AND SIMPLY OPENING THE DOOR TO LEAVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHEN THE CONTACT OPENED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, IT DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. A FAMILY FRIEND ATTACHED THE DOOR WITH A RATCHET AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED ECONOMY HONDA SUPERSTORE (LOCATED AT 6001 LEE HWY, CHATTANOOGA, TN 37421, (423) 381-6429), BUT THEY DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 235,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY HOOD FLEW UP AND SHATTERED MY WINDSHIELD. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM HAD SCREWS MISSING AND ONE SCREW VERY LOOSE LEFT IN PLACE. THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM FREELY MOVED AROUND WHICH IS APPARENTLY HOW THE HOOD BECAME UNLATCHED AND BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 50MPH ON THE MARQUETTE INTERCHANGE THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ONCE THE HOOD WAS UP AND HAD TO BRAKE IMMEDIATELY TO KEEP FROM CRASHING INTO ANYTHING POSSIBLY IN FRONT OF ME. THIS ALSO COULD HAVE CAUSED SOMEONE ELSE TO CRASH INTO ME. I ALSO COULDN'T SEE DUE TO THE HOOD. I HAD TO USE MY SIDE WINDOW AND MIRRORS TO MANEUVER MYSELF TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, TIE THE HOOD DOWN WITH A CORD. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? HOW DO SCREWS LOOSEN ON THE LATCH TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE?

PASSENGER REAR SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF AND IS HANGING BY A SINGLE CABLE. CAR WAS IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY.

SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF

PASSENGER SLIDING REAR DOOR FELL OFF TRACK AFTER HAVING PROBLEMS CLOSING BOTH AUTOMATICALLY AND MANUALLY. PLASTIC ROLLERS SEEM TO HAVE FALLEN APART. DRIVERS SLIDING DOOR MAKES WEIRD NOISES & DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY IN EITHER AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE DOOR FELL OFF THE TRACK & WAS HANGING BY THE CABLE.

WHEN IT GET COLD WEATHER THE SLIDING DOORS OPEN WHILE DRIVING WHAT IF KIDS ARE SITTING THERE HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES I FIXED IT BUT EVERY YEAR SAME PROBLEM WITH COLD AND FREEZING WEATHER DOORS DON'T CLOSE AND IF THEY DO WHILE DRIVING WILL OPEN BY THEM SELF IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON HIGHWAY AND REGULAR STREET MY KIDS WERE SITTING RIGHT BY THEM WHEN DOOR OPENED THANK GOD THEY WERE IN SEATBELTS

WE WERE OUT IF TOWN WHEN OUR VAN'S DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE AND IT CAME OFF THE TRACK AND I CAUGHT IT LUCKILY. WE HAD TO RIG IT UP AND DRIVE IT HOME. ONLY TO FIND OUT IT'S A COMMON ISSUE.

MY SLIDING DOOR OFF ON ME CAUSE ME TO PULL A MUSCLE IN MY CHEST AND PUT ME IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

SLIDING DOORS ON THE VAN HESITATE TO OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY AND THEN EVENTUALLY FALL OFF THE HINGES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO OPEN AND CLOSE, AND FELL OFF THE TRACK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 184,577.

WHILE STATIONARY, LIGHT APPEARS ON DASHBOARD INDICATING PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE USING ANY METHOD. MESSAGE STAYS ON DASHBOARD PREVENTING ME FROM SEEING OTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGES UNTIL A RESET IS DONE, I RESET BY REMOVING A FUSE, TURNING THE KEY TWICE WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR ON AND PUTTING THE FUSE BACK IN. THAT'S A TEMPORARY FIX BECAUSE THE PROBLEM RETURNS AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR A COUPLE OF TIMES. MANY HONDA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO HONDA AND INDICATED ONLINE THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH INVOLVED COSTLY REPAIRS THAT SOMETIMES DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AND HAS HAPPENED TO ENOUGH OWNERS OF HONDA MINIVANS THAT A RECALL IS NECESSARY.

SIDE DOOR OPENED, AUTOMATIC DOOR CABLE JAMMED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. ALSO, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR, THE DOOR BECAME INOPERABLE AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROLLER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR COMPLETELY LOCKED IN THE OPEN POSITION SATURDAY EVENING WHILE OUT WITH MY GRANDKIDS. MY DAUGHTER'S AND I HAD TO BREAK THE DOOR OFF JUST TO GET HOME IN THE DARK BY SECURING THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR WITH THE SEATBELT LEAVING ONE GRANDCHILD CAR SEAT UNSECURED. NOW THE VAN IS PARKED WITH THE DOOR AS IS IN THE RAIN. I CAN'T DRIVE TO THE DEALER AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE MUCH LESS PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. SAFETY IS A SERIOUS ISSUE DRIVING WITHOUT A SECURE DOOR.

AROUND 10:30 AM ON WEDNESDAY, 1/13/16, DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD KEEP OPENING UP "COMPLETELY VOLUNTARILY" WHEN THE VEHICLE (2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX) WAS IN MOTION AND BEING OPERATED ON A LOCAL FREEWAY. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOOR EITHER USING THE REMOTE/AUTOMATIC DOOR-CLOSING SWITCH BY THE STEERING WHEEL OR MANUALLY (UPON STOPPING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROADSIDE) WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SLIDING DOOR KEPT OPENING UP "VOLUNTARILY" ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT BACK IN MOTION / DRIVE MODE (ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE). THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE DRIVEN BACK HOME, ITS NORMAL PARKING LOCATION, WITH THE SLIDING DOOR OPEN DURING THE DRIVE (APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM HOME).
