I bought the Odyssey after reviewing all vans to find the safest one I could get to carry my grandchildren in. I had two kids in babyseats in the second row and the power door came open. The master lock was on so all doors were locked. The dash did not indicate that any door was open either. Just screaming children. I took to the dealer today and they called American Honda and they told them it was impossible. We are very concerned and want this repaired- bought the 7 year warranty. If anyone else has had this problem I would like to know why American Honda is saying it is impossible and that they have never had this happen.

Left (driver's side) sliding door opened while I was driving with 4 children in the car. Very frightening! American Honda acknowledges that there is a Technical Service Bulletin for the Odyssey power sliding doors for the years 1999-01, and that "Honda is aware, even if the years don't match, of problems with the doors."
Please report such cases to the NHTSA.com (National Highway Traffic Safety Admin).
Maybe we can get this recalled before someone gets hurt.
