2000 Honda Odyssey locks complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 105, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2000 honda odyssey. On august 2nd, I was pumping gas at a gas station on the north side. The gas nozzle was in the gas tank. The sliding automatic door is not supposed to come open when gas is being pumped, however it did. I tried to stop the door, but couldn't, ended up cutting my hand, the door jammed, the pump was stuck, gas cap holder came undone and couldn't get the gas door shut. My paint is scratched on the gas door and the gas door cannot be opened with the gas lever release button inside the car. An attendant at the station came to help, but I do believe that this is a severe fire hazard.
Problems with electrical systems on 2000 honda odyssey.*mr power locks, cruise control, and power doors.
Automatic doors fail. The door could not be closed completely. This is the second door to fail. Honda knows about the defect and told me the wouldn't fix the second door until it failed. It did so while I was 100 miles away from home.
Had the door latch break on right side and was repaired. Then have on going issues of trying to open the sliding doors. At times you could not open either slider doors with out trying to get to release by pulling on it which you had to open the other door and either try pull it or pushing on the door from the inside. Husband came home then forgot he had to be very gentle with door or that could not believe the door would not open then broke the left sliding door handle off. Now it has no handle at all. Called the honda dealership and said it warranty was no longer valid. Had purchased the extended warranty and when to have it repair said door latch would be covered. Then was told since it was a design fault (well know) it would not be covered. Since then I have done some research and found Im the person with this problem. Dealership said they would cover the labor cost and not the part cost. After reviewing how many times some one has taken the time to file it here. Concern why it has not been recalled. As it stands not comfortable about the fact the side doors do not work correctly, if something happened were my children would have to exit the van quickly. Did call honda to see what can be done to resolve the issue. Was told it may take 3 days.
The vehicles sliding doors malfunctioned and caused the door not to open from inside and sometimes not to open from the outside. The dealer was notified and repaired the problem but it re-occurred.
Automatic sliding door on driver's side does not open at all when handle is used. Must open from inside or via remote. Doors make buzzing sound intermittently advising that doors are ajar even when closed contact pads have been replaced, yet problem continues. Sometimes door will not close fully. It closes, attempts to latch and then re-opens partially. Other sliding door has similar issues to a lesser extent. Lots of other diverse issues.
After the sliding doors were closed, the door chime would sound off while driving. Both rear sliding doors did not latch and the doors would unlatch while driving. Ph scc

While driving buzzer goes off to indicate sliding doors are open. There was recall 00v119000, but this vehicle was not affected due to VIN. Vehicle has been taken to dealer 3 times, cannot remedy the problem.
My mini-van experienced the same problem as the defect described in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 00v119000 . However honda did not do recall on my vehicle.
While driving the sliding doors dont remain locked (recall # 00v‑119). Nlm
There have been repeated problems with both power sliding doors jamming and being nonfunctional. The doors also frequently set off the alarms within the vehicle claiming that the door is open with the car in drive, yet the door does not show "open" on the indicator panel on the dashboard. There have been 8-9 attempts by the dealer to repair this problem and yet , it continues to recur. The honda regional service manager has been involved (greg bazil) and honda corporate has been contacted for help with engineering solutions. Nothing fixes my car.
The consumer stated that the trunk handle cable fell off.
Driver side and passenger's side doors will not open at all. Doors are stuck. Dealership is aware of problem.
Sliding door fails to open from handle on inside and outside without applying great force to handles, preventing occupants from entering and existing vehicle. Consumer has contacted dealer. Please provide any further details.

Sliding door would intermittently open while traveling. Vehicle been in/out of dealer shop on six occasions, and the problem still reoccurring. Vehicle back in dealer shop for seventh time for correction. Feel free to provide us with any further information concerning this matter.
Two sliding doors will not stay shut mostly on driver's side. This happens when going over a bump. Cosnumer has been to the dealer 6 times for door opening, and problem has gotten worse, door opens while driving.
While vehicle was parked overnight in a garage sliding door came open. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
While traveling passanger's side door came open, indication light flash on. Please provide further information.
Transmission failed and was replaced.
The left hand side passenger sliding door sticks in the closed position, 2 door latch assemblies have broken, dealer stated parts were on backlog due to other vehicles experiencing the same problems, the right hand side door has been stubborn, but has not snapped a latch yet. Nlm
Both the rear sliding doors are impossible to open in cold weather. We can open it only after the interior of the van warms up considerably. Have contacted the dealer last winter and he applied grease on the door seals which seemed to fix the problem at that time. It has returned again this winter. Currently the vehicle is under warranty. I am worried that once the vehicle is out of warranty the dealer won't even take a look at the problem unless I pay for it.
Vehicle has experienced several problems with the sliding doors prior to and after recall 00v119, on one occasion the door opened about one foot while the consumer was driving.
Side door will not open. Latch from either inside or outside appears to partially unlatched, but not enough to allow the door to be pulled open. Children cannot get out of the car. Also gas tank door is stuck open, when manually closing it the electric locks lock the car from the outside! It is possible to lock yourself out of the car.
Vehicle was parked. Engaged the slide door to close and forgot something. Reached in while door was closing and got caught. Safety feature was designed in a manner that door will retract if something is in its way, but it fails to retract until the door is almost closed. In the owner's manual it states that the door may close enough to cause bruising before it retracts.
The left rear sliding door has failed twice. It will close but not latch all of the way. The alarm goes off. The right sliding door has failed twice. It will close momentarily and then automatically reopen. A friend found my door wide open in a parking lot wide open. This could result in theft of contents of entire van. It could also result in someone hiding in the cargo area awaiting for my return undetected. It also leaves me stranded with my three kids. I do not want to drive a car with a door wide open with three young children. I do not want to drive a car when the door is not latched all of the way either. My neighbor has had his car in 7 times also for his sliding doors. I am going to arbitration on tuesday, may 23 hoping it be declared a lemon. My neighbor will be doing so soon also.
