Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I would like to report a safety issue with the honda odyssey minivan. the metal hinges on the driver and passenger door do a terrible job at keeping the doors open. a slight gust of wind or if the car is on an incline, the doors will slam shut on their own. i broke a watch band and was fortunate not to severely injure my wrist one time. it probably closed on my shins before that. i won't let my children near the front doors when they are open, for fear of severe injury to some body part being slammed into the door. i make a point to have my whole body leaning on the door if it needs to stay open for some purpose now. this is really a safety issue for the whole family. the dealership seemed to recognize the symptom, but said there was no replacement part available to fix the problem. i bet other owners have the same experience. i have never driven another car that i was afraid the front door would slam shut on me - without warning - before this. thank you - mikki bates. *jb
