“The passenger side door of my 2008 Honda Odyssey fell off when attempting to close it and nearly fell onto my child. The automatic sliding door was closing and around halfway closed it fell off of the track and started opening back up unprompted, thus damaging the rear right quarter panel as well. This is a major safety issue as it nearly crushed my [XXX] daughter, but thankfully was caught in time. A man parked near us in the parking lot helped us pick the door back up and said the same thing happened to him, also in a 2008 Honda Odyssey! Prior to the incident, the door would occasionally hesitate to open when button was pressed.”

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS IN THE RAIN, WATER LEAKED THROUGH THE ROOF AND DRIPPED ONTO THE A-POST, FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG, AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
