1999 Honda Odyssey structure problems

“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.”

“1999 HONDA ODYSSEY. BOTH OF DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SLIDING DOORS WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND COULD NOT BE SECURED BECAUSE BOTH LATCHES BROKE OFF . THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR PLASTIC LATCH CRACKED AND BROKE, AND THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR BROKE OFF AND DETACHED. BOTH SLIDING DOORS CAN NOT BE SECURED. IT WAS DISCOVERED BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR CAN NOT BE CLOSED, LEAD ME TO INSPECT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR, AND IT SHOWED THAT THE LATCH HAS BEEN CRACKED AND BROKE, BUT IT IS STILL IN PLACE. IT ALLOWS THE DOOR TO CLOSE BUT NOT LATCH PROPERLY. *TR”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE SIDE SLIDING DOOR AND THE DOOR OPENED PARTIALLY BEFORE BECOMING STUCK. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE DOOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000.”

“THERE WAS A RECALL BACK ON 4/25/00 FOR THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL # WAS 00V119000. I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE DOOR NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY. I CALLED HENNESSEY HONDA IN WOODSTOCK, GA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT RECALL ON RECORD. THEN THEY WENT ON TO SAY THAT THEY WON'T FIX IT AGAIN. I CHECKED THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE RECALLS AND DON'T SEE WHERE THIS WAS DONE. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR WHEN IT WAS ALREADY DETERMINED THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT? IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON HOW LONG HONDA WILL FIX THIS REPAIR FOR FREE? *KB”

“THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR ON MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS FAILED TO OPEN ON MANY OCCASIONS AND I DIDN'T THINK OF IT AS ANYTHING MORE THAN A NUISANCE. THIS TIME ONE OF MY CHILDREN'S FINGERS WAS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AND WE WERE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR EITHER FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES UNTIL WE GOT A PASSERBY TO FORCE IT OPEN. HIS FINGER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DAMAGED THAN IF WE HAD BEEN ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE DOOR, NOT TO MENTION THE PANIC AND DISTRESS AND BEING TRAPPED. *TR”
