| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Early in 2002 i begin having difficulties opening the passenger side sliding door on my honda odyssey. i took the van to the local dealership and was told i must not be closing the door correctly. in june 2003, i returned to the dealership- at that time they replaced the rubber seal around the door, admitting other vehicles were having that problem. july 2005 the door again became difficult to open, the local dealership applied a spray "that should solve the problem". by october 2005 some days the door would open, some days it would not. dec. 4, 2005, i was traveling home, alone, from church about 8:45 pm when all of the interior lights came on. i saw the door open signal for the passenger sliding door was on. it was dark, at a section of the county that i was not comfortable stopping at, so i drove for approx. 2 miles to reach an area where i felt safe to stop, get out, go around the car and close the door. i contacted honda on monday - if i want to pay for it, they will replace the seal again. i have called the honda 800 number they gave me at the local dealership, taken the car back to the dealership for them to look at it. because i refused to pay for a diagnosis (the individual on the 800 number said nothing about that during the first call) honda will do nothing. this door has been a problem from the first, i feel honda has never corrected the problem, just made it bearable for a while. it is unsafe. *nm |
