Parked on a very hot day in a parking lot the electric doors won't open. If I drive the van for a minute or two and stop, the doors will work. This is an intermittent problem. Honda can not find the problem. On the internet, other people have the same issue with their honda vehicles. One person wrote that he replaced the power on off switch on the dash that controls the doors even though his vehicle showed no computer code errors. He said that so far it solved his problem. Honda only looks for computer code error and if there is no error, they say there is no problem.

My sliding doors do not work correctly and not even sure if they are latching properly. There is a major electric issue with this vehicle and honda is unwilling to address it, there is numerous places on the internet of the same door issues!!! Give a place to send videos, I have about 10 I can send where you can clear see that the doors and electrical are not working. Also since this is electrical I am on my 3rd battery for this 2014 vehicle, if you test the battery while in car it will test at about 1300+ cranking amps, which the dealership can not explain. Take the battery of of the car and it tests correctly and by more company.. Clearly an electrical issue. The sliding doors will not open under power of the car often, it is as if there is no power going to the door, switches, or the key fab. I do have younger children in the vehicle and do not feel safe and should be investigated.

Passenger side rear door will not open under any condition. The door will not open manually or via the power door feature. This limits the egress from the vehicle.

My door came ajar while driving down the road!!! When the dash temperature reads above 96 degrees, the electronics of the rear-sliding doors will not operate. This has occurred since the van was 3.5 month old. The local service dept cannot recreate the issue, and no error code displays on the dash. My baby has been trapped in the backseat, because I cannot open the door. During the hot temps, the door will not open manually. The doors are completely stuck! Once I drive around and the van cools, the electronics/sliding doors operate just fine. This is a huge safety concern. This occurs when the van is parked, because being stationary in the sun allows it to get hotter. Even with it's only 93 outside, the dash may read 101 after sitting in the parking lot for a few hours. Last week, I tried to open it around 3pm. It would not budge. The dash showed all doors closed when I pulled out of the parking lot. Five minutes later, as I was driving down the interstate, at 65 MPH, the door came ajar! I had to pull over and close it. I have read many blogs with other odyssey owners having the same issue. I have a recent video of the issue, but this site does not allow that formatting.

While my son was reaching for seatbelt his arm/wrist got stuck in door as it was closing. Door would not move and just sandwiched his wrist. Whether car was in drive or park door would not open or close. Finally we got his wrist out and door closed.

I took the vehicle to honda dealership for service because of a vibration when braking. Tech found rotors are warped. This is the second set of rotors. The first set warped at 13,000 miles and were replaced under warranty. The second set have warped at 11,000 miles. Dealer said that they can turn the rotors but cannot replace again under warranty unless american honda authorizes replacement. I contacted american honda (ah) 1‑800‑999‑1009 on 5/29/15. Received voice mail message from ah on 6/1/15 that they would contact the dealer for information. Received call from ah rep christopher (ext. 117726), on 6/9/15 stating ah would not replace rotors but would turn as courtesy. I asked why not full replacement as 1st set of brakes degraded at 13k miles and 2nd set at even lower mileage, 11k. Rep says many reasons could have caused wear, weather conditions, driving style, weight of the vehicle. I said that if it was weight of vehicle then ah has faulty brake design. Then he said that according to the dealership service department it was my driving style. I said that backpeddling and that they don't know how I drive. I then asked him for the estimated lifespan, in miles, of the brakes and he said they don't have a lifespan. I said that there has to be one, is it 15k or 40k? He repeated that there was none available. I asked him to put their (ah) conclusion in writing, using the assigned case number, n01-2015-05-29-01387. He said ah would not provide anything in writing, but that the dealership would write up a service order. I repeated my request for a written reponse to my complaint and he insisted that ah does not do that. Note: vehicle had strut assembly replaced, under warranty, at 6k miles. Under warranty, dealership to have faulty door lock accuators (locks activate after every stop), window run channels/seals, and back up camera circuits replaced. Parts ordered 5/29/15.

Rpms race while van is in idle an takes off with a jump in transmission. Clanking noise metal on metal in rear brakes, downshifts at lower speeds when trying to accelerate above 35 MPH, slowing to make a turn and transmission jumps feels like being rear ended, parking brake doesn't engage at times, on flat when putting into park transmission clunks and vehicle has a definite movement like something falling out or on vehicle, looses power at 65 MPH no matter how much the gas pedal is floored then suddenly jumps into high speed thrusting van forward, transmission jumps severely when parked on a graded slope and make metal clanking sound. Dealer says there are no issues and this is all normal. This is a direct safety issue for me and I am worried that something might happen causing an accident. At one point some adjustments to sensors were performed but did not correct issue. Brake issue discovered and attempt was made to correct twice. Told this is normal. Also a loud electronic computer sounding like an ancient reboot of an old computer is greatly noticeable when the problems act up. Told this is normal an no problems by the dealer. I feel I am being ignored and treated like a stupid person each time I call. Service manager actually stated that his hands are tied and took to next level of district service manager who stated this is normal. I beg to differ. The district service manager did not speak with me at all. What game is honda playing. Safety issues and performance of vehicle are being ignored. Rearview camera is acting up as well as electric door locks and sliding doors are slow to respond while closing. Worried about safety while driving.
