The left and right sliding doors of my 1999 Honda Odyssey ex do not rebound when consistant pressure is applied. It takes various levels of pressure to get the doors to rebound while closing. At times , I feel the pressure to rebound these doors are too much for small children and elderly people. I have complained to both Honda windward and american Honda and have documents that claim that nothing can be done to remedy my complaint. Both Honda windward and american Honda do not consider my doors a problem and say the excessive pressure is normal operation of the Odyssey. I feel this is a safety issue that should be looked into by your office.
