| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Due to the well documented problem with honda odyssey sliding doors being difficult to open (see honda odyssey tsb 91, 10/29/02), my door handle broke in the process of attempting to open it. internet research shows a high number of odyssey owners have also experienced this problem with handle breakage due to the sticking door problem. the component that breaks is a small, understrength plastic component inside the handle. because of a broken door handle, during an emergency--and at other times--it could be impossible to open the door and free back occupants, especially if the internal child safety lock is also engaged, blocking attempts to open the door from the inside as well. *jb |
