Helpful Websites About 2005 Honda Odyssey power sliding door not shutting properly

Odyssey Touring

One of the power doors in the 2005 Touring has proven to be a real pain. It started when the door panel was put together incorrectly at the assembly plant, causing paint wear on the side of the vehicle. They fixed this and buffed out the scratches under warranty but it also started misbehaving. The issue is that it doesn't always reliably close, it kicks back open at odd times. 3 different dealers have had a look, each offers an opinion "needs adjusting", or "couldn't reproduce", but it's still not fixed. They charged me $100 for the last adjustment and it didn't fix the problem.
We'll be dumping the 2005 Touring at some point in the future, I would probably not buy another Honda Odyssey, we also had bad luck with a 1999 LX (transmission, air conditioning).

Odyssey EX 3.2L V6
In July 2007 my passenger door started having problems opening and shutting. After going through the usual "adjustments" at 2 dealerships and duplicating the problem numerous times at the dealer I finally got a motor replaced along with a few minor parts in November 2007. Through the cold winter months (reno, nv) my door never malfunctioned. As soon as the weather warmed up the problem returned. I have dealt with the service manager and corporate Honda. My case is continuing and still "open" so I have not had to pay for anything. I simply want my door to work! I can say confidently that the local dealer would fix it, however, they do not know how. They have seen the door malfunction, acknowledge it is a problem, but nobody at tech support, corporate Honda or locally know how to fix it. The problem: when pushing the remote/interior button/or pulling the handle the door will try to open (you hear the motor) but then beep and remain shut. It takes 1-4 more tries and it will make a popping noise and finally open. When stuck open, you will hear the motor trying to engage but then it will beep and remain open. It takes 1-4 more tries to close, sometime lunging forward in the process. If anyone knows what needs to be done, please help!
