Door problems of the 2001 Honda Odyssey - part 2

2001 Honda Odyssey sliding doors have many problems. Consumer states that some issues are electrical and sticking locks. The consumer stated the driver's side sliding door didn't close completely and there were a couple of times when she couldn't open the doors at all.

The safety tensioner in the door was not present to prevent the complete closing of the sliding door.

Consumer called complaining about having problems with the side doors . Also stated that the doors get stuck not allowing him to open the door neither from the inside or outside. Dealer was contacted and latches were change and still did not work. Ts.

The consumer believes that the automatic sliding doors are not sensitive enough to objects in it's path and is concerned that a child may be injured by the doors. Ts.

Consumer states that the doors have a high tolerance for something blocking them and only the full pressure of an adult's upper body stops the door and gets it to go backwards. Consumer is concerned about the safety of the children. And feels this is a safety problem.

The sliding power doors do not stop when they hit resistance. I was trapped between frame and door for a good 5 minutes in a large parking lot and could not get free until I finally wrestled the key remote out of a pocket and hit door open, otherwise, I was stuck. I could not move to free myself. I could not move the door. Thank goodness it wasn't my child that got stuck (I had my 1 year old with me, and it was pretty scary for her to see me trapped). This is a reaccuring problem. The dealer says it's just the way the system works, it's not defective. Evidently, the door won't reverse for an obstruction until it is 2" from closing (much smaller than a child's head or torso). This is a major safety issue. I had a bruised side. My brother-in-law (same make, model and year) - who's a big guy - got his arm trapped and bruised. We told yet another brother-in-law interested in same make, model, year - not to get the power door option . . . "it's too dangerous for the kids". . . And he didn't!! this is all very alarming for adults. I worry about the first child who will be seriously injured. Something needs to be done. Thank you.

I am concerned about the electrical doors on the Honda Odyssey van. Several times my daughter w.

The ex model has automatic electric doors that do not stop closing to protect small childrens bodies, fingers, etc. The door stops when an adults strength can push it back. Haven't we learned from automatic garage door openers. Please work hard to protect our children or handicapped. This minivan vehicle is meant for children.

Sliding door fails to close properly if anything is in doorway. Door would close to approximately 4 inches, if anything was in the way, before it opened back up. Adult arm was caught, and door continued to close until required inches were met. Then, door opened up. Mechanic cannot correct problem.
