| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Since purchasing a 2000 odysessy ex, i have had repeated problems with both sliding doors. once again today, neither door would open. i have had latches replaced, handles replaces, remotes replaced and still the problem is as bad as ever. the passenger side door generally never closes properly and the door ajar light constantly flickers on and off forcing me to shut the lights in the vehicle off so they stop flashing. whenever the weather is damp or cold, the doors will not work. tonight i had the car running for more than an hour and the doors still would not open. after multiple trips to the dealer there is either an attempt to get me to replace every conceivable part hoping to fix the problem or they simply are unable to repair this situation. not only is it extremely inconvenient to get 4 children in and out through the front doors, but it is dangerous. if there was ever a need to quickly exit the vehicle from an accident or other situation, it often times would be impossible since the doors wouldn't work. after 18 months dealing with this situation, i've had enough. i think it is a serious design flaw which the dealers simply can not fix. i'm willing to bet the original owner traded it in because of the same situation because it started for me the first day we owned the vehicle. *la |
