1 Body problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2019

Driver side automatic sliding door unlatched while driving on interstate. I got a emergency tone telling me something was wrong, but no indication on the dash. I found a couple recalls for this problem and stopped by the local Honda dealer (piazza), but they said the VIN has no recalls and the recall is too old. I just bought the vehicle a month ago. This is a safety issue known by Honda and even if it is happening only now, the dealer should repair at no cost to me.

Sliding door always was defective from 2006. Always not closing to the end. One slider door outside handle not working from 2006, probably cable broken inside of slider door. Sliding door handle is lose. My wife not using slider door more than 10 years, because it stock and can't open at all. Front door lock also not working correctly. Also I want replace all air back in my Mini van, I never receive any paper recall from dealer.

7 Body problem

The sunvisors are so loose that when normal breaking pressure is applied to the car, the visors will move out of position if not locked, blinding the driver. The visors have been replaced once, re-tightened once. Two dealerships claim that this is a manufacturing problem. I contacted Honda who said that only a dealer could repair the problem. This is a serious hazard, as I've almost wrecked when I was blinded when slowing down because the sun visor moved.
