The car was parked and turned off on a hill, approximately 2-4deg grade. The automated sliding door was opened and the close door function was activated. With the door about halfway closed, a snapping sound could be heard and the door slammed shut. The door slammed with such force that the entire car shook violently. It was clear afterwards that the snapping sound was a cable that was part of the automated door open/close function. Fortunately, no one was in the doorway or near the door at the time. Had someone been in the doorway when the cable snapped serious injury seems likely. The car has since been repaired and is not available for inspection. No inspection of the broken hardware was performed. I am unaware of a reproduction of the issue. There was no warning prior to the snapped cable that anything was wrong with the open/close door function.

I need to replace my Honda Odyssey braunability wheelchair accessible entervan. Because it was destroyed in the February 7th chain accident at the mario cuomo /tappan zee bridge in westchester, New York. Your recall for the second seadt row prevents Honda dealers to sell me a new vehicle, even if a wheelchair accessible van cannot possibly use a second row seat, . accordingly I kindly ask you to issue a waiver that I can submit to any Honda dealer. Deadline for submitting my order for converion is Feb 28 and chassis has to arrive a braunability no later than March 16, 2018.

I was driving about 45 on a side road and I heard a pop and things start rolling down the roof and off the back of the car. I found out that the sunroof exploded and the air was pulling the sunroof apart. Luckily I had the visor closed, so the glass didn't fall into the car.
