Owners/service Manual problems of the 2018 Honda Odyssey

Upon opening vehicle using remote control (sliding doors or tailgate), the drivers door will not unlatch or unlock. No matter what you do, you can not open this door from the outside. Only way to open it is to go in via the passenger side of the vehicle and manual release the door. Dealership was notified of this problem once before and stated they can not duplicate, which seems to be the common answer for Honda when they don't want to take ownership for their vehicle issues.

Both rear doors become stuck and completely inoperable. The power door mechanism has failed and now the door is completely stuck in the closed position. There is no way to manually open the door from the inside or the outside.

Sliding doors will not close. Sometimes the door will close almost to the end and then recoil or the door will not close at all (it just beeps). . Read more...

The driver-side door power lock does not fully close resulting in an inability to unlock the driver's side door after closing and therefore inhibit entry through that door. Manually pushing in of the lock restores the ability to power-unlock, however it does not restore function to the power locking mechanism. Additionally, the effect appears to be temperature sensitive, where warm weather increases the chances of failure of the power locking mechanism. This happens when the vehicle is parked.

While in motion at a speed where the vehicle auto locks the doors, the driver's door power lock will attempt to repeatedly lock the car door. The lock appears engaged, however it is not closed as far as the passenger side lock. The locking attempts can be reduced by pushing the lock manually to a fully closed position. The lock still functions and the door cannot be opened, however any attempts to unlock the door with the power locking mechanism are unsuccessful and the door must be manually unlocked from the inside.

Customer states intermittently right side sliding door does not close properly, sliding door ajar light comes on while driving, right side sliding door will not close using automatically, having to manually/forcefully push door close, has happened twice dealer ship did not do anything as they are not able to duplicate the issue. This is safety concern as it is happening while car is in motion and the door is opening. With kids on board it is always risky. I stopped letting them sit on that side.

The passengers side sliding door would not open automatically. The open/close button on the dash would not open the door either. The key fob wouldn't open it. We shut off the automatic door feature and the door still would not open manually. This is a huge safety issue. After driving the car home, the door opened without issue.

Brand new vehicle. Approximately 700 miles on odometer. Passenger side sliding door would not close completely; either via the push-button operation or manually. Made a grinding sound when closing and then beeped 3 times. Drove the vehicle to dealership with door ajar (beeping alarms the entire way).
