I parked my van and opened the manual rear passenger door. The rear door latch would not operate when we tried to close the door. This is a significant safety issue since I have a 9 year old son who rides in the seat adjacent to the defective door. I took it to the honda dealer and was told that replacing the latch and also the defective roller arm would cost $296.

I have a 2006 honda odyssey ex-l van. I now have 101,000 miles on it but ever since 48,000 miles, I have had difficulty with the driver side sliding door. It started with the buzzer going off as though we had not shut the door. The interior light was blinking on and off and it showed the door was open on the dash. We tried shutting it manually and with the automatic switch to no avail. We followed a protocol off the internet that involved several steps that got it to stop but at random times it would happen again. I had a friend who is a mechanic look at it and he suggested replacing the electrical components involved at great cost. The dealer finally told me there is a switch on the dash to turn off the buzzer but the door does not shut all the way. The back of the door sticks out a bit and makes it so it won't lock. Two other people I know have the same problem with their van and had it fixed at great cost. Given that the door is not all the way closed, it concerns me to no end when I have passengers on that side. The indoor light continues to come on as well. I have seen several complaints about this on several blogs. It seems to me this should be a huge safety concern to honda but they have been aloof about fixing it and don't believe they are responsible.
