Sliding door failure. Both sliding doors failed on jan 17, 2011. The doors were stuck halfway open. I consider this to be a safety issue. Was repaired for the price of $800. Luckily the van was no moving that the time, but we did have to drive it to the mechanic with the doors open.

The rear bumper beam on my 2001 honda odyssey rusted and broke up into pieces that have fallen out from under the bumper cover. I assume that I no longer have full rear end crash protection. My mechanic suggested that since this is a safety related failure, I should see about having the manufacturer replace it for me. They referred me to my local honda dealer. The service manager at the dealer referred me to their preferred body shop for an estimate. Not sure what will happen next, but am hoping the local dealer will ask the manufacturer to cover the repair.

Doors do not work properly. They do not close at times. Our passenger door won't close. When you drive, it opens automatically. This was recalled in 2000 but not 2001. There is no way to keep it shut manually. Someone could fall out, van is useless. Costs an arm and a leg to fix.

Sliding doors: one door stopped opening all together, so passengers cannot get out on the drivers side in the back, creating a safety hazard. The passenger side sliding door opens but the alarm sounds when driving, so the master switch in on the front must be in the off position in order to drive. This makes the door inoperable unless the switch is on, and this must be done manually every time the door needs to be used, creating a safety hazard in an emergency.

Power sliding doors under normal conditions are not manually operable. Automactic door function is activated with door handles, from the dash, or from the key fob. These functions alternately work poorly or not at all. On a snowy & icy day one door quit completely and could only be opened and closed manually. Then the other door also. Researching the issue LED me to user posted online instructions involving various combinations of pulling fuses and turning switches. After pulling the battery cable and leaving it off 1 minute, then restarting the engine, the door function was restored. Aside from normal operation being a potential safety issue in the event of an accident or emergency, the system is subject to failure that can be a costly visit to a repair shop or dealership. I hope later models of the odyssey have an improved system in place.

Sliding rear doors fail to open or close. One must remove fuse #13 to reset the door. In the even of an accident or emergency, passengers sitting in the re rear seats could be trapped in the vehicle. Dealer repair quotes are in the $400 - $600 range. But the removal of a fuse resets the doors. Something is not right here. This happens several times a year and has been happening for the last 5 years.

I have a honda odyssey 2001. Power sliding doors always have problems. This begins about one year after I purchased the car. Now I have to drive my van with doors not being secured and switch off so buzzer shuts off. I only can open one side door (rdriver side) because other one is not working. I's really bring me concern about my kids safety. I hope you can investigate this matter and tell honda to fix the problems.
