Sliding door don't open and close right,doors stay open at rear edge.
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!
I have had problems with my honda odyssey 2000 sliding doors since the year bought it brand new. I have taken it to the dealers multiple times. They were never able to fix it. They would not even try when it was under warranty. Both sliding doors work off and on, but the passenger side will not latch closed any more without having to manually push it from the out side. To keep them from buzzing we turn the door control switch off, which is a real safety hazard. No one can open the doors until the switch is turned back on. There have been times when everyone in the car has to get out the drivers front seat because neither sliding door will work consistently. It would be impossible to exit the car quickly in an emergency. The doors can be opened manually only if you are a strong adult.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda odyssey. The contact stated that both of the sliding doors were experiencing numerous failures. The doors are supposed to automatically slide open whenever she presses the buttons or pulls on the handle. When she does this, the doors fail to open properly. Occasionally, the doors do not open at all and will close halfway, forcing her to have to exit the driver's seat and close the door manually. The failure has since worsened. The rear driver's side sliding door was not working at all. The passenger side sliding door will not automatically close and must be opened or closed manually. Both doors were replaced under warranty. The contact was unsure of the work performed on the doors at the time of service; however, the failures would immediately recur. The only way that the rear passengers could exit the vehicle was through the front passenger or driver's side door. The contact believes that in an event of a crash, the children would not be safe. The doors have not been replaced and only the passenger side sliding door is currently able to open. In addition, the transmission is failing and has been repaired at least three times. While driving, the contact noticed that the brake and TCM indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. When she reached 40 MPH, the RPM dial began moving up and down randomly. She took the vehicle to the dealer, but they could not find any failures. A few days later while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle shut off and was towed to the dealer. The dealer rebuilt the transmission; however, it failed again six months later. The transmission was replaced a second time, but failed again after a few weeks. The failure mileage was 74,614 and current mileage was 137,066.
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.
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.
2000 honda odyssey driver side power sliding door does not close and lock properly.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
2000 honda odyssey van. Both automatic sliding doors randomly open while vehicle is in motion with adults and children in middle seat.
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?
Automatic sliding doors do not retract when obstructed by a child. Several instances of doors narrowly closing on a child. This despite doors being repaired (at my own cost). Apparent obvious manufacturer defect.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the sliding door on the passenger side will not close tightly. The door open alarm continues to chime due to the failure. The dealer diagnosed the cause of failure as the motor on the sliding door and they made the repair. However, the failure continues. The current and failure mileages were 111,916. The dealer stated check lens on cyclops brake light, small lens access cover broken. Updated 08/28/07
My 6 year old daughter's finger got caught in the sliding door of our 2000 honda odyssey mini van. The door mechanism failed to detect her finger in its path and proceeded to close resulting in contusion and abrasion. She was treated at an emergency care facility where they ruled out any broken bones (thankfully). Extreme human force was needed to pry the door open so that she could remove her injured finger from the closed door. This door has been checked in the past on 2 occasions by 2 separate honda dealerships. Both determined that the door operated in compliance with the manufacturer's guidelines. I am so thankful that the outcome was not more serious as it could have been. I am only interested in getting the word out to other owners and find out what the manufacturer has to say about these circumstances.
Manual sliding doors stick to the point that occupants cannot get out of the car. It has taken two large adults (one pulling from the outside and the other kicking from the inside) to open the doors. Problem began in summer, 2003. We broke and had to replace one of the door handles in 11/04 because we were pulling so hard to get the door open. Complained whenever we took the car in for service, but our complaints never appear on our invoices. Therefore, according to honda, there is no record of a problem with our doors. Honda's recommendation has been to lubricate the doors, but we never notice any improvement in the problem. My dealer just informed me that a service bulletin has been issued recommending the replacement of the door seals at a cost to us of nearly $400. As a "goodwill" gesture, they have offered to pay for the parts, but we will pay nearly $200 to correct this problem. This seems to be a safety issue that honda should correct, but as the problem arose after our 30,000 mile warranty, they feel there is no obligation to fix the problem. I keep thinking about my children being trapped, perhaps with the car on fire, and wonder how honda can treat the issue so casually.
The manual doors on my 2000 honda odyssey continually get stuck in the closed position. I had it looked at several times when I first bought the vehicle and it continues to be a problem in hot or cold, wet or dry weather. People get stuck inside, and can't get out unless they put their shoulder into the door, and people get stuck outside not being able to open the door. This is a real safety hazard. If the doors won't operate properly under noraml conditions, how likely will they operate in an accident situation? Please instruct honda to initiate a recall and fix this problem.
The left sliding door malfunctioned every time it was opened due to the defect as described in the sliding door recall 00v119000. This vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.
Right passenger door has beeped on and off since owning it. Nothing could be done about it. Now the door won't work at all. We cannot close it manually or electrically. The dealership says it needs new rollers and motor at a cost of $1339.00.
Driver's side automatic door opened on its own while the vehicle was being driven. Dealer made the correction. Currently, the doors jam by either opening or closing halfway consumer had to force the door by hand.
Driver's door locked while vehicle was parked and the engine was running. Dealership has been notified.*ak when opening the drivers door all the doors locked causing consumer to be locked out of the vehicle.
Transmission defect/extended warranty problem/pulsation of brakes when braking, slider doors sticking/loud buzzing sound (intermittent)
When the temperature changes the sliding doors on either side of the vehicle become stuck. Consumer cannot get the doors open. Dealer suggested using a silicone spray on the door seals. Consumer called the dealer about this problem several times but received no help. *ak
Ongoing problem with the sliding door sticking when closed. Consumer was unable to open the door even if the door was unlocked. Dealership has serviced vehicle twice, and lubricated the door. Dealership indicated that one of the wheels that made the door close broke.
