The first time we had an issue we were in the country and we stopped and got out of the car. When we got back in the door would not close. We put the switch on manual however the door would still not close. We had it looked at and the line that works the door needed to be cut to close the door. Within a week the other door started not opening and closing properly even when it was set for manual use. We were the driving down the road and the door flew open. We did contact the dealership and they indicated they are aware of the problem however its the consumers responsibilty to pay to have this safety issue fixed.

Driver side sliding door will not latch/lock and was told this can cause air bag deploying problems as well as door could open. Had to replace power latch mechanism. This also happened to the passenger sliding door around a month ago. This is strange since my wife and I are in our 70's and very seldom use these doors.

For the second time the rear passenger sliding door would not lock closed and the warning tone sounded. When I took it into the dealer for repair he said that the air bags could deploy if it wasn't fixed. The door latch had to be replaced. I am 71 years old and the door is very seldom used by my wife and I. I am concerned about the fact that the door could have come loose and deployed the air bags while I was driving. I'd like to know if this is happening to other honda vehicles. I do have the old part if that would help.

The first time this problem occurred was driving on nd hwy. 15. The driver's sliding door would come unlatched when driving down the road at 65 MPH. Push the automatic door latch button again and it stayed latched for about 7 miles and it would unlatch itself and the alarm would go off. Telling you the slidingdoor was unlatched. I took the van to rydell's honda dealer in grand forks, nd they replace the latch and rollers on both sliding doors. They said it happens when you live on gravel roads and the rollers and latches would get wore because the rollers and part of the latch is made of plastic. Honda service manager told us to try to keep the roller guides clean and pressure wash the roller guide really well. We did this for about a year clean the the guides biweekly and we had the same troubles again. This time honda replaced on latch on the driver's side and three weeks later the other side had the same problem too. We were luckily this only had happen close to town and we never were in an accident when this problem occurred. The doors would come unlatched without notice and the door will be open about an inch or two. It doesn't matter if you try to shut the doors manually or automatic it will still open and unlatch on its own when ever it would like too. We only live on about 3 miles of gravel so to have this problem with two young children ages nine and eight is scary.

In the end of august the power windows stopped working in our odyssey. When I dropped the car off at the dealer to fix the windows, the alarm system did not recognize the keys and went off every time the dealer tried to open the door. I brought in my wife's set of keys to see if that would resolve the issue but it did not. The car no longer recognizes either key or key fob and triggers the alarm whenever I unlock and open the doors. Additionally, the unlock button on the key fob somehow caused my windows to go down so they are stuck down and no buttons, door locks, windows, power sliding doors, or rear tailgate lift work. Honda does not know what the problem is and has been resistant to help fix the ca despite it still being under warranty.

On at least 2 occasions, the passenger side door failed to unlock even when using multiple methods to unlock it. Even when the knob on the door was lifted manually, the door would not unlock and open. After trying different things (key fob, auto door unlock button, manually lifting the locking knob), it finally opened. We thought it was just a glitch when someone tried to open the door at the same time that the door unlock button was pushed, but since reading a report of a similar incident on an odyssey, there may be a problem with the locking mechanism. Once the knob was lifted manually, the door should have opened regardless.

Tl*the contact owns a 2010 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the sliding doors on the right and left of the vehicle failed. The safety mechanism failed to keep the doors in the open position after it was unlocked. The doors failed continuously when it was cold and ice formed on the vehicle causing the door latches to remain unlocked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated there was no failure since it only occurred during frigid temperatures. A representative with the manufacturer inspected the vehicle and found no failures within the doors. The representative also added lubrication to the doors. The failure mileage was 11,000 and the current mileage was 12,800.

2010 honda odyssey now has 19,000 miles on it. Purchased in april, 2010. At least four separate times since purchase in various types of weather (cold, hot, mild, wet, snow) the front passenger has been unable to exit the vehicle due to the door latch not disengaging. The button was pushed to unlock. The door locks appeared to unlock (the stem went up). However, the door was still locked. After trying various things like reinserting the key, turning on/off the engine, activating the unlock feature on the keyless entry button, the door finally would unlock and open. As a side note, when exiting the van I always receive a slight static shock.
