| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The sliding doors on our 1999 honda odyssey van have been hard to open for the past year or so. recently, i pulled the handle to open the sliding door - it snapped off and it is no longer possible to open the door. with instructions from the service manual, i carefully removed the inside door panel to find a broken lever inside. i have not investigated how much it may cost to repair this but i am highly disappointed in the recent quality of honda products. over the years, we have owned 3 other hondas with only minor repair issues. the odyssey is definitely not up to the usual high quality standards. the convenience of the side door is now totally useless. i understand that the replacement part might cost $300 or more. with this outrageous price, i am willing to spend my own time to locate a used replacement mechanism. the actual broken part is a small plastic lever inside the door handle. from my investigation, this little part is not available separately and will warrant to purchase of the complete door lock mechanism. i have seen similar failure reports from many other honda owners - it's time to let them know how unhappy we are. *la |
