Description of the problem | Both my power sliding doors are starting to fail. There seem to be numerous complaints about rear power door issues on the odysseys. Our driver side rear power door does not lock or unlock properly unless done manually and it will not open with the remote or the button on the dashboard. The passenger side doors makes a loud popping noise when it opens and also make a noise after its closed as if the door hadn't latched properly. Have not had any broken or fallen doors yet. This seems to be an endemic issue rather than a few problems here and there. This is also an issue with safety more than anything else hence requiring immediate attention from honda what will happen if i have to rush my three small children out of the car in an emergency and am not able to open either doors or as it has happened to other parents my door falls while driving?????? This is a part of the car that should not fail after any year of service and sensible use, however is happening to new as well as older models. And why are we continuously being stuck with the bill (upwards of $500. 00) for honda's failure to produce quality doors and door assemblies for one of the most critical part of a car. I would like to know from you government what are you doing about this. We do not need another toyota situation, where we had to see people perishing before you guys did anything about it!!!!!! |
