Hello yes this has been happening since May2022, ,sometimes my sliding door will open then shut while someone is trying to get in, or it won't shut it will close the Open right back up while driving or sitting, so several times either my children or my grandmother was getting in after I opened the sliding door, an all of a sudden it almost smashed my 3 yr old she jumped in so fast it almost caught her leg, an the same thing with my grandmother, she was getting in an it shut without me closing it, an 1 day we was on the highway and the driver side opened automatically I had to pull over to the side of highway and it wouldn't shut after 10 tries, I had to actually grab the handle an pull it shut. An I asked a dealership about this and he said numerous of people have been complaining about this problem with Honda vans.

The Honda Odyssey I own has paint coming out from the roof and tail. Looking around on the road, I saw many other white Honda Odyssey with similar problems. When doing a search on the web, I saw the recall notice for Honda Odyssey 2011-12. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10161239-0001.pdf My Honda Odyssey is a 2010 model but with same color and similar problems with exterior paint. This would result in corrosion and ultimately the safety of the vehicle. I am attaching the pictures of my vehicle. I did contact Honda and they advised me to get the vehicle inspected at their service center. I am scheduled to visit them for diagnosis soon, but wanted to share what I found as there recall with 2011-12 is something that clearly extends to other years model as well.

The drivers side sliding door fell off upon opening. Honda says they are not liable for this issue yet I have found over 5,000 complaints in various fourms concerning this issue. My children were almost injured and something needs to be done about this issue please.

The driver side sliding door fell off when trying to put my kids in the vehicle. The vehicle was stationary and not on. Luckily, I was able to push my 3 year old out if the way or he would have been severly injured. Instead, he just has scraped need and is confused why I pushed him. I hurt my wrist and back catching the door. Picture is after I was able to somehow get it closed.

The driver side sliding door (manual door, not power) was making a grinding sound when opening and then it fell off the car. I was opening the door to get my child out, thankfully, we were at home.

Have had intermittent issue with the automatic feature not being able to fully close the driver's side door. Today, I tried to open it but driver's side door was making grinding noise and only opening 1/3 of the way on the automatic setting. I disengaged the automatic sliding door function and opened it manually. Slid open no problem. I reengaged the auto setting when I went to close the door. It started to slide close and a little less than half way, it fell at me, coming completely off the car other than a small guide wire in the center. I can not get it back into place and am looking into getting it towed to be repaired. When the center roller came off the track it left gigantic gashes in the paint/metal on the side of the van.

The side doors fell off the track. Both of them within days. One when opening it and the other driving down my driveway. I'm just glad it didnt happen on the highway because that seriously could have hurt someone. I looked this issue up and found it is very common on these van's and a lot of people are having this happen. One door is now held on with a strap and the other one we got closed and back on but we cannot open them. My kids have to climb over the front seats to get to their seats. I am very worried they will fly off driving down the highway like I've read others have. The side of my van is all scratched up from them falling off too.

The vehicle has major leak from the firewall down to the floor compartment. Water gets in both tail lights when it is raining. I took it to the Honda dealer twice and they never fixed the problem. Honda refused any of these problems. I willl never buy a Honda ever again. This is my third Honda and last too.

"takata recall" paint is stripping and peeling off of vehicle. This is not acceptable as Honda is a well known and reliable brand. There are other makes and models whos paint stands the test of time. What is Honda's excuse for this problem that has effected numerous Honda owners" how will they make this right"

Right (passenger) sliding cargo door fell off track and gouged the side panel of the van. The vehicle was stationary in driveway. Noticed in week prior to the incident that there was a grinding sound when opening door, and it would sometime catch and re-open when closing as though it hit an obstacle. Dealer mentioned maybe some sand or grit in assembly. In driveway, we opened door then walked away to throw something in trash heard a noise and came back to find the door had fallen off and was hanging from the cable used by the power open/close mechanism. Significantly damaged car further trying to get it to close enough to to take to repair shop and prevent damage from impending rain at time of incident. Was very difficult to fight the power mechanism and to turn the heavy door the correct way to get all the pieces in their correct rails and position, never did get entirely closed. Took to dealership. Dealer advised to take to body shop. Body shop sent me back to dealer who would not take vehicle for several days but then ended up fixing the door the same day for about $575. The body damage has not been addressed.
