Both latches on sliding doors have been replaced twice now, while driving the doors come unlatched although they do not open they are unlatched and this is a serious safety concern.

I was driving my children to school, ages 9 and 6, and as I was driving the sliding passenger door on the driver's side opened. My 6 year old daughter who was sitting next to the door said "mommy the door is opening". I was driving only about 10 to 15 mph and was able to immediately pull over and I kept on opening and closing the door and would appear to be closed but as I continued to drive it would open again. I continued to drive to school with my hazards on and if the door opened again I would have to pull over and open and close the door again. While this was happening we heard a continuous beeping noise like I would hear if the door was open. This incident scared my children and myself and should have never happened. I consider this to be a major safety flaw in this car and should be recalled. I have heard the beeping sound before when it is very cold but this is the first that the door actually opened while I was driving.

This issue is related to the electric sliding doors for a 2005 Honda Odyssey ex. The right passenger electric sliding door stopped working when the odometer read 99722. At the time it stopped working, the van was parked in a parking lot. When the button was pressed to open the door, the door refused to open and a light went on the instrument panel "slide door". when I consulted the instruction manual, it said to take the vehicle to the dealer. I was really suspicious with the sudden failing of the door because up until that particular moment, the door was working fine. The way I opened the door and the weather conditions it was in remained the same from when the odometer read 99700 until the incident. When I did some research online, I found that I was not the only Odyssey owner with this issue. It seems model years 2005-2010 have these electric sliding doors problems without any clear indication of issues beforehand. Multiple reports have stated owners taking the vehicle to the dealer only to have the dealer charge thousands of dollars to fail diagnose the problem. I visited a forum that offered a solution to the problem. The solution stated to reset the internal computer by pulling a fuse labeled as "back up". I was skeptical of this solution because Honda wouldn't design a vehicle that states an error with a door unless something was wrong with the door, for example the motor. However, given the circumstances in which the sliding door failed, I gave it a try and reset the internal computer. I started the engine back up and noticed immediately the error was gone which makes sense since the computer was reset. When I pushed the button to open the passenger electric door, the door opened normally without any hesitation of movement. I am now very concerned about the integrity of Honda motor corporation. If help can be given, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi I purchased used Honda Odyssey touring 2005 and driving the same present meter reading is 160K. I did not get any service records of the vehicle from previous owners and could not know whether these problems exists previously also. One day left sliding door of the touring could not open manually and auto also. After a week a time it started opening it self. Later I found the front passenger door and tail gate door or back trunk door are locked and can not open with electrical switches and also can not open manually also. It is serious safety issue not able to open manually also in case any accident which may take life of person not able to come out of the van. I would like to complain about this feature in this vehicle and I did not approach the Honda company about this problem. Please suggest me to take further action.

For the second time, the passenger side power door on our car opened while we were driving. The doors are very troublesome, refusing to close, shutting on passengers and emit a loud beeping noise when not able to latch. No matter what we do, we cannot get the noise to stop and have to put the door in manual to get the noise to stop. After the first time the door opened, I took it to the dealer who said the mechanisms were fine and it was probably a string. Yesterday it opened about 5 inches when I had a child in that seat. The dealer told us today there is nothing they can do unless they can recreate it. Honda told us to make sure the kids wear seat belts. An online search proved our situation is not unique. We are shopping for a new car, but are astonished at the lack of care Honda has about the safety of their clients.

During cold weather, the automatic rear passengers doors failed to close and lock properly, allowing the doors to open. This only seems to happen when the temperature gets below 32 degrees. Problem is the van is kept in garage where it is warm, but when out of the garage (away from home) and this happens, no way to safely get home with the doors not closed properly, especially with children in the back.

The driver side rear sliding door stuck closed. Son could not get out. Panicked state because he went back to get something from van and closed the door while he looked for it. Could not get out as door was stuck. He tried to open several times, but no use. Door will not open manually or automatically. This could have been a bigger problem if it were summer here in phoenix Arizona as the temperature could have been 115 degrees or higher outside making the temperature at least 20-30 degrees hotter inside. Luckily the outside temperature was in the 80's in the phoenix area today. We visit our relatives in Arizona at least once every year and cannot afford to have door issues on our almost 3,000 mile round trip. We have 2 children and for safety reasons cannot have our doors fail to close or open properly for any reason, at any time!

Sliding doors do not latch completely. They close but a few seconds later open again with light showing they are open. Doors have come open while driving with children in back, even when they were supposed to be locked. This is a huge safety issue despite children being secured in a seatbelt.

2005 Honda Odyssey. Consumer states problems with door alarm the consumer stated the alarm sounded on two separate occasions. In both instances, there was no light on the display dashboard and the door was physically opened with wind noise. The first repair was not a success as the problem continued. When the consumer returned to the dealer a month later, it appeared the problem was fixed. The consumer stated three years later, the problem resurfaced again. While driving down the highway, the alarm began to sound with no dashboard display. When the consumer turned the steering wheel to the right, the door opened and the door display illuminated. The consumer had to manually close the door and lock it leaving the master switch off.
