“My 2006 Honda Odyssey. The passenger side electric sliding door fell off of the hinge. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that the door was not covered under the warranty and told me that I was responsible for the repair cost. The Honda manufacturer has not been contacted. The failure mileage was 48,000. The drive side squeaks, creaks, rattles, and clunks it sounds like it is also get ready to fall off.”
NHTSA complaint #10332582, filed 2010-05, 48,000 miles“Back passenger door won't completely close on my 2006 Honda Odyssey (touring). Electronically, it gets very close, but won't shut completely. I can't manually do it either. I took it in to the dealership and was told it would cost almost $200 to even look at the problem. I cannot afford that.”
NHTSA complaint #10283344, filed 2009-09, 75,000 miles“Our Honda Odyssey is equipped with automatic sliding doors. My 3 year old daughter got her fingers caught in the rear part of the slider and the door closed all the way. It appears there are no safety features as we thought in the rear part of the door. This to me seems to be a design flaw.”
NHTSA complaint #10203987, filed 2007-09, 32,000 miles“My 2006 Honda Odyssey's electrical system completely died. I had two dog crates in the back of the minivan with dogs in them. The doors had been locked prior to the failure occurring. Once the electrical system died, I had no way to open the tailgate in order to get the dogs out of the car. I was unable to reach the emergency release because it was blocked by the dog crates. There is no outside key access for the tailgate nor a manual release in the driver's compartment.”
NHTSA complaint #10352873, filed 2010-08, 82,000 miles“The sliding door of my Odyssey (touring) model will not close all the way. Similar to another complaint, the door gets close to being closed, but will not close either electronically or manually. The van is able to be driven with the sliding door open. This first happen at only 29k miles and continued to happen periodically until I took it to a Honda dealership who could fix the problem. The service person at the dealership (that was able to fix it) showed me that it was a design flaw of the center roller for the sliding door. …”
