Example complaints

“The vehicle was stationary. The driver-side sliding door fell off when we opened it, falling to the ground, causing extensive body damage to the rear panel. We had the passenger side door repaired already but are having problems with it opening again. This should be a recall from Honda. I've read online that many Honda Odyssey owners are having this same experience”
NHTSA complaint #11083949, filed 2018-04, 190,000 miles“Sliding door issues. First incident happened while driving on the freeway and my passenger sliding door opened. Took to dealership and got fixed at a cost. Continued to have problems with both my sliding doors not closing properly for a total of 6 times. I am now having the same problem again with my drivers side passenger door. The doors beeps while driving and does not close properly driving or standing still.”
NHTSA complaint #11327018, filed 2020-06, 210,000 miles“Unable to lift the window glass up when it's down. Generally occurs in winter. This was the same problem that I had from the first year that I bought the car. Once the problem occurs if I wait a while no firm timing I can bring the windows up. Generally occurs on passenger side of the windows both front and rear window. Taken to dealer but by that time it recovers so I am stuck with problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11144422, filed 2018-10, 150,000 miles“Front driver side door will not unlock manually or electronically. While taking a drive to the store and upon arriving today I was unable to get out of the driver door. This could present a danger if for some reason I can't exit my car in a hurry.”
NHTSA complaint #11217364, filed 2019-06, 75,000 miles“The struts failed to hold up the tailgate and fall on my wife head, during the loading of our groceries on our recent grocery's outing. The two gas-powered tailgate struts (support rods) that raise and hold up the power tailgate of the Honda Odyssey van's equipped with them failed to hold up the tailgate. They are now no longer functional.”
