2002 Honda Odyssey van - back sliding doors stick... can't open from inside or outside. The back sliding doors have always felt like something is in the groove, never smooth. At times, they are stuck closed or stuck open. My kids often have had to climb to the front or the rear door to get out of the van. In reading about similar stories online, it is imperative that this issue is addressed by Honda so that no child is ever stuck in the car trying to get out. Panic stricken children or parents might not be able to flee from danger should something occur.

I would like to report a safety issue with the Honda Odyssey minivan. The metal hinges on the driver and passenger door do a terrible job at keeping the doors open. A slight gust of wind or if the car is on an incline, the doors will slam shut on their own. I broke a watch band and was fortunate not to severely injure my wrist one time. It probably closed on my shins before that. I won't let my children near the front doors when they are open, for fear of severe injury to some body part being slammed into the door. I make a point to have my whole body leaning on the door if it needs to stay open for some purpose now. This is really a safety issue for the whole family. The dealership seemed to recognize the symptom, but said there was no replacement part available to fix the problem. I bet other owners have the same experience. I have never driven another car that I was afraid the front door would slam shut on me - without warning - before this. Thank you - mikki bates.

While driving 35 mph driver's side door opened on its own. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic was not able to duplicate the problem. A few weeks later, consumer noticed that the rear sliding door did not lock properly. Once again, vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic could not duplicate the problem.
