LEFT (DRIVER'S SIDE) SLIDING DOOR ON HONDA ODYSSEY WILL NOT CLOSE OR LOCK. HAD TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER WITH THE DOOR CONSTANTLY OPENING AND MY CHILDREN INSIDE THE CAR. MY FRIEND SAT ON THE BACK SEAT TO TRY TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED. I DO THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THIS HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL. THE DEALER SAID THAT "HONDA DOES NOT SEE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE". I SEE THE DOOR PROPERTY CLOSING AS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS A FAMILY CAR WITH CHILDREN INVOLVED. I SEE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE JUST LIKE I SEE SEAT BELTS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PROBLEM, IT IS UNSAFE. *TR

OUR NEWBORN STARTED TO CRY, SO MY HUSBAND WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR. UPON PULLEY THE HANDLE, THE WHOLE DOOR FELL BACK OFF THE VAN. WE WERE TOLD THE PLASTIC ROLLERS WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY CRACKED WHEN WE HIT A POT HOLE AND LET THE DOOR SLIDE OFF THE TRACK. THEN THE PINS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP THE DOOR FROM GOING OFF THE TRACK FAILED. HONDA SAID IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT LOOKING INTO THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

Remedy: Parts to permanently repair the affected vehicles are not currently available. Honda will notify owners with an interim letter during May 2014. A second notice was mailed to owners October 6, 2014 when the remedy became available. Any vehicles that are currently leaking from the fuel pump cover will get a replacement, original cover. All vehicles, including those receiving the interim repair, will get an improved cover when they are available. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Honda will replace the liftgate struts in approximately 21,776 model year 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring vehicles equipped with power liftgates that were built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly on July 16, 2005 (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-055).Vehicles built after the change experience significantly lower failure rates.The recall will inform consumers of the dangers of the existing struts and provide the opportunity for vehicle owners to obtain new struts that are more robust.Based on Honda's action, the agency has decided to close the investigation.While Honda has not made a decision that the recalled vehicles contain a safety-related defect, in view of the recall, further use of the agency's resources does not appear to be warranted.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Additional information can be found in the attached Engineering Analysis Report.
