| Latches/locks/linkage problems |
After stopping at a gas station for a rest break, both the passenger side and driver side rear power sliding doors refused to close after the passengers re-entered the vehicle. The tracks/path for the doors were checked for obstructions and none were found. After multiple repeated attempts at closing (more than ten on each side), the doors were successfully closed. After several additional hours of driving, the same scenario played out at our next fuel stop. The vehicle would have been unsafe to operate had the problem not resolved itself. The doors could not be closed by using the neither the push buttons nor the interior door handle. The dealer service center could not reproduce the problem. The vehicle has not been inspected by anybody besides the dealer service department. They stated that no codes regarding the operation of the doors were stored in the vehicles memory. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms accompanied this event.
The contact owns a 2020 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the rear hatch tailgate door opened unintendedly. The vehicle was previously taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with electronic tailgate door control module failure, which was caused by water intrusion from the roof drainage system. The control module was replaced but the failure reoccurred on two other occasions, and the electronic tailgate door control module was replaced by the owner. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failures, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 50,000.
