Passenger doors stick and can not be opened without extreme force. Sometimes unable to open & driving down the road "door open light " comes on, because the door has come ajar. Inside door latch has also pierced a dent in the body of the door.

The automatic doors dont stop closing if they bang into someone, only at the last two inches will the door bounce back and that is only if it comes into contact with something heavy.
When filling fuel tank consumer's daughter was able to unlock the driver's side power sliding door. Door opened quickly and jammed over the fuel filler door, damaging fuel filler door, also caused fuel to spill on ground. Safety and environmental problem. I would think that door would be totally inoperable under these conditions.
Right electric sliding door opens intermittently when car is in park. Of some 20 incidents only 2 have occurred when the engine was running (transmission in park) and doors unlocked. Other incidents ocurred when car was unattended and doors unlocked. Dealer notified. Dealer requested car be left for observation. This approach is not acceptable to owner as problem may take a week or two to reoccur.
Rear sliding doors are not opening/closing properly. Intermittently doors would not open at all. This causes child to be locked in at times. Also, rear passenger's outside door handles broke off as well. Dealer notified, and waited on handle replacement. Repairs have been made on several occasions, problem still exists. *ak
Rear passenger sliding door opened up and made sounds. Consumer took vehicle to the dealership, and mechanic told her that there was a sensor inside of the door panel.
The drivers side sliding door on our van keeps getting stuck ajar when I try to close it. I believe this is very dangerous and have had to put a lot of force against it to get it closed since I have two small children in the back seats. I have taken it in to hall honda to get fixed once and they thought they fixed it and it still does it. The problem is that is doesn't do it always, it is on and off. Yesterday was the last time. I does it at least 5 out of 7 days a week. I put two small dents in the door trying to close it while I was away from home once since my children were in the back and I didn't want to leave it that way. The honda dealer is acting as if they are not going to fix the dents but if the door wasn't malfunctioning the dents wouldn't be there. I was afraid my children could fall out while I was driving home and couldn't leave it open. I am taking the van back in tonight and we'll see if they fix it this time. Also I will be talking to them about getting the two little dents fixed free of charge since this wasn't my fault. This problems started shortly after we bought the van. Thank you cheryl cepek.
My son accidently pulled the level to close the power sliding door. My wife was still putting stuff in the van. The door pinned her against the frame, it did not stop as expected. I later checked the operation of the doors and found the passenger side to be intermittent (sometimes it would stop) and the driver's side would never stop. My wife suffered severe back and neck pain and bruises on her shoulder. According to the owner's manual the door should stop. However, the next sentence says it may not be immediate and may cause "bruising and discomfort". This is a serious hazard for people with children. If my 18-month old would have had his head in the way the door would have smashed it hard. Honda needs to take a close look at these to ensure that they are operating correctly. We decided it was too much risk, so we got rid of the van and bought a toyota sienna without power doors.
The passenger side sliding door is sticking. Yh
Opening the left side sliding door for filling gas causes the door to jam against gas flap and nozzle resulting in damage to gas flap hinge and tank. Yh
The steering vibrates also at lower speeds, has also problem while opening sliding doors
Both the left and right sliding doors automatically open by itself while vehicle is parked and while driving. Yh
Power sliding doors reverse themselves the first time anything gets in their path. If you stop the door and attempt to close it a second time the doors will not stop closing. The door closed on my husbands fingers the other week at the car dealership. We are looking to buy a honda odyssey, but are thinking twice because of this issue. I am concerned that a child could get hurt pretty bad by the power of this closing door. The salesman told us that you cannot try to close the door a second time without waiting for a least 1 whole minute, because the mechanism needs to reset itself. If children are getting in and out of the door it is hard to say that they would not wait the full 1 minute and that someone might be in the way of the sliding door.
Power sliding doors are hard to open and can not be locked with remote key due to controlling computer failure. Yh
The right sliding door opens while driving without manual operation. Also, door becomes stuck. Passengers cannot enter or exit vehicle. Dealer cannot identify the problem. Please give any further details.
While putting kids in the car, one of the children pulled the side door handle and the door automatically rolled shut. This door could injure someone, especially a child if caught between the door. Consumer feels there should be a better sensor system to stop when there are objects blocking the door.
Side sliding door does not close properly. When the door is pushed/shut it does not stay in place, it slides back, and becomes uneven with the body of the vehicle. Dealer has been contacted.
Electric sliding power doors do not rebound when encountering obstacle. Should a person inadvertantly get in the way of a closing door, the motor will exert tremendous force on individual, likely causing injury. The owners manual suggests pressing the "open" button on the remote key ring or the dash board. In the case of a small child entering/exiting (which in the case of a mini-van is quite likely), the potential for injury is severe. The manufacturer should have designed an adjustable pressure sensor, over-current senser (similar to garage doors), or other detection device to create a safer door. Please investigate.
Reoccurring problem with left turns and electric sliding door indicators showing that door is open. The door has not actually opened as of yet. I know the 1999 model had similar problems, but their doors were opening. This should serve as mostly an awareness alert. I will have dealer look at it when I take it in for first scheduled maintenance in about one month.
