| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We purchased a 2000 honda odyssey in feb. we were drying in snow and ice about 2 weeks later. the van slid around and was facing a drop-off. i had to keep it in gear to keep it from sliding. i yelled for my husband and children to get out!. the power sliding doors would not open b/c i was in gear (reverse). in manual mode they were too difficult for the children to get open. a car was coming down the hill out of control directly towards us. we really did see our lives flash before our eyes. lucklily the car was able to squeeze by the front of us. i put it in park and the kids jumped out as i slowly slid forward. after they were clear of the van, i put it in reverse, put some gas to it and slid around and was able to get safely off the road. i did not realize before buying this van that the power doors were different than the ones on other makes of vans. most of them open easily manually. please consider pursuing a change. i am trying to sell the van now- it has practically scared the life out of me.*ak |
