Both of the automatic sliding doors have came off tracks and fell off and will not close all the way it seems the door is only in place with a wire that supports the sliding component and has fallen off and the doors now are only supported by a single top track and this is a safety issue due to passengers riding in the van and if this falls off going down the road it could cause a accident

Van doors opened by themselves going 60 down the highway while my children were in the vehicle. Happened 3 separate times.

The sliding door on the driver side has had trouble latching. It has repeatedly caused the battery to drain and has been previously repaired at an independent service center. On 7/16/21, the same sliding door wouldn't close and fell off. The slider center wheel detached causing the door to fall off the track. This resulted in body damage to the side of the vehicle as well as the door needing to be repaired. The vehicle is currently at a body shop, an independent service center. There were no warning lamps on. The door could have injured myself or my son but fortunately we were able to catch it.

Door stopped working left and right side... now the door fell off. Car was parked. Could've been driving though. Very dangerous. Read many many many (hundreds) of peoples posts about this happening to their Honda Odyssey's. there should be a recall.

My passenger doors stopped opening by button and handle, turning signals, brights, dash signals, windshield wipers, door locks, horn. All stop working whenever the car feels like it and more then a couple don't work at same time. Driver side passenger seatbelt doesnt stay tight for my daughters car seat abd unable to use other seat as that door doesnt work at all anymore. The steering is also very difficult when turning into a parking spot to the point that I have to use all strength from both arms to pull the wheel into the direction I need the car to

I am having a problem with the power steering freezing up on slow turns and the transmission torque converter clutch is stuck making the car transmission heat up and quit until it cools down, I was stuck on the side of the road 4X for this. Once with my 97 yr old brother in law and 79 yr old sister.they want $4000 to fix this. The driver side sliding door cable broke also.I had the run flat pax tires on it when it was purchased, I was not told that I would have to drive at least 100 to 200 miles to get them changed out as they need a special machine to fix them. I had to buy new rims and tires for $1500. I have 125,000 miles on the car. I will never buy or recommend a Honda to anyone.

Driver side power sliding door fell off. Had just parked. No previous issue, just came off the tracks and fell on me as it opened. Very alarming as my toddler was sitting in there in her car seat. I've now had to wait in 108 degree heat waiting for a mobile mechanic. This seems to be an ongoing issue with all Odyssey's and really needs to be recalled.

The 2 sliding doors open while the vehicle is in motion. This should not happen. The door closes and latches but becomes unlatched when driving at any speed. This is a safety issue. I have read about many other owners who have the same issue online. When we contact Honda they say it is not their problem and they won't fix it without me paying for it because my van is out of warranty. Please look into this because it is a safety issue.

Passenger side sliding door does not open. If opened does not close at the first attempt, it takes atleast 3-4 attempt to close or open. Sliding door light is on.
- Richmond, TX, USA
There is rust over the rear wheels on both sides. I have seen this on almost every single similar Honda Odyssey, same model as the 2006 model I own. The rust is on the body panels immediately over the rear wheels, on both the driver's and passenger sides. This has happened gradually, and occurs on no other part of the vehicle, so it is a quality control issue.

The back doors in the car do not latch properly. One door opens while driving and the other only latches on one side.

This van has been a frustrating nightmare. Besides the pax system tire issues, we have had to fix both sliding doors because they fell off. Last summer the door wouldn't close, then it fell off the track while I was out shopping with my kids. My husband came with some tools and helped to get it closed so we could take it to the auto shop. It was an expensive fix not to mention the damage to the exterior. Yesterday while I was at the library with four of my children ( 8,6,3, and a baby) the other door came off the track. This time, my husband was not around to come help us ( he is deployed serving in afghanistan). We had to get the van towed, and the door stayed open all night because the shop was closed. While there, one of the men working said he is having the same problem with his Odyssey. Looking online I see this is a common issue because a piece was made with nylon ( to reduce noise) when it should have been made with steel. There is obviously something wrong with the hardware on this. Honda needs to fix these, instead of leaving the burden to rest on the consumers who purchased these pieces of junk. What a frustrating situation!
