2000 Honda Odyssey structure problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY CORRODED ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. AS A RESULT, THE SEATS COULD NOT BE LATCHED INTO THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT LOCK DETACHED AND LEFT A HOLE IN THE LOCK AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE CORROSION WAS SEVERE; HOWEVER, A REMEDY COULD NOT BE OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 232,000.”

“THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN/CLOSE USING ANY OF THE CONTROLS. WE HAVE TO CLOSE IT MANUALLY BUT IT WON'T LATCH COMPLETELY SO WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR SLIGHTLY AJAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME WITH MY TWO DAUGHTERS SITTING THERE. BECAUSE THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPEN WE HAVE TO TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER SWITCH TO THE SLIDING DOORS TO AVOID HAVING THE CONSTANT BUZZING NOISE. THIS MEANS THEY ARE LOCKED IN THE BACK SEAT AND UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN AFTER TRIPS TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA. *TR”

“ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE, BUT AFTER DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH I DISCOVERED IT IS COMMON IN ODYSSEYS. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLES WITHOUT BEING CONCERNED FOR THE STABILITY OF OUR ENGINE AND TRANNY. THIS JUST SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. *TR”

“CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALER REVEALS CODE P0420. THEY (RUSS DARROW MILWAUKEE, WI) ARE SAYING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS WELL AS AN O2 SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED COST $1,200. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 110,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. STICKING SLIDING DOOR'S IN WINTER (RUSS DARROW & DAVID HOBBS MILWAUKEE, WI) HAVE ALL THE SERIVICE RECORDS ON THE STICKING DOOR ISSUSE AND THEY WHERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE IT. DEALER'S FIX FOR STICKING SLIDING DOOR WAS TO LUBE THE SLIDING DOOR EVERY WINTER INSTEAD OF FINDING A SOLUTION. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE 2002 AND NOW I JUST LUBE THE DOOR'S MY SELF INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME AT DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER. *TR”

“I HAVE 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY THE POWER SLIDING DOORS FAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS WHICH ENTAILS NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN AND OR CLOSE SLIDING VAN DOORS. THEY WILL START TO CLOSE THEN REOPEN, NOT CLOSE AT ALL AND WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY. WHEN YOU START TO DRIVE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE BUZZER WILL BUZZ INDICATING THE DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY SEALED. MY SON HAS DIFFICULTY WITH THESE POWER DOORS AND HAS GOT HIS HAND CAUGHT ONCE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A LIABILITY WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR”

“2000 HONDA ODYSSEY, THE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY AND THERE IS POSSIBILITY THAT IT CAN OPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED, THAT CAN RESULT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE MOSTLY SMALL CHILDREN ARE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. *TR”
