The greatest danger is the inoperable doors and locks that intermitantly engage and disengage. This can be a serious problem with our small children being lock in a car. The dealer has not been able to remedy this issue after several attempts.

Had to move out of the way. Manual states that if a power sliding door runs into any obstacle while it is closing, door will stop and then reverse direction. Contacted dealer, and they contacted manufacturer. Manufacturer said it is supposed to work like this.

The automatic sliding doors on the Honda Odyssey are advertised as having the ability to stop when confronted with an obstacle, but they clearly do not and will easily crush anything that gets in their path. This is a horrible design for any vehicle but unthinkable and unforgivable in a vehicle designed to Transport children.

Left sliding door not locking, unlocking, or opening properly. Dealer tried to fix twice now and still broken. Door locks and unlocks itself while in motion. It pops, clicks, and buzzes at random. Right sliding door opens while in motion. Dealer tried to fix once and still broken. A/C makes tremendous "thunking" noise-clutch engaging improperly. Dealer tried to fix twice-told me"could not duplicate" still broken. Left & right front windows both had bad parts. Left still waiting on parts to be put in. Seatbelt in middle, left rear locked so tightly while van in motion that I was trapped. It would not release even while van was not braking, turning, etc. Doors are main safety concern and dealer not able to correct problems and zone office #6 unwilling to return my phone calls regarding this important matter.
