Sliding doors do not latch completely. They close but a few seconds later open again with light showing they are open. Doors have come open while driving with children in back, even when they were supposed to be locked. This is a huge safety issue despite children being secured in a seatbelt.

2005 Honda Odyssey exl - 4500 miles. Left side passenger power sliding door does not close and latch completely. Indicator on dash board shows door is open. Door open buzzer went on when driving. Turned off power mechanism. Door slid ajar when driving under these circumstances and with children on board fortunately with seat belts on.

2005 Honda Odyssey touring with 3000 miles. The left side passenger power sliding door opened completely while the car was in motion today 05/21/05. The door was closed and locked before this happened. The door open indicator on the mid did not go on before this happened. The door open indicator on the mid showed only when the door flew open. The power mechanism had been turned off. My eight year old son was sitting in the left side second row seat when this happened. He was wearing his seatbelt. No person or thing fell out of the car. When I began this trip the door open buzzer went on when the transmission was in drive but not when in park. The buzzer shut off when the power door mechanism was turned off even if the transmission was in drive. I checked all the doors and they looked closed, seated and locked. The door open indicator never showed either on the dashboard or on the mid until the door flew open. After this incident I could not get the left side door to close and latch manually. Using the power mechanism the door did not seem to close completely unless I helped it by pushing. But after a couple of seconds the door seemed to pop open a bit and it obviously was not latched. The lock did not hold at all. One month ago the open door buzzer was going on when the transmission was in drive even though the doors were closed. The buzzer shut off if I turned the power door mechanism off. This was an intermittent problem. I also had some problems closing the left side door manually. I took the car for service to the local Honda dealer (keyes woodland hills Honda in woodland hills California). They returned the car the same day and said the door sensors had to be adjusted and that nothing was wrong with the doors or the door mechanism. Things were okay for a few weeks.
