The sliding doors will pop and stop in the middle of closing and opening. Have checked all the assembly and nothing is in the way of tracks. It has closed on several riders as it opens. Have to switch the switch several times and it will still not reset. It almost hit someone in the head while exiting the van. This has been going on for years but a body shop said that there is no recalls and they have several complaints about the issues too.

Pearl white paint peeling to expose the primer on the door, hood, roof, tailgate and the edge of the gas tank door. The recall expired in 2019 and I was never notified about the paint recall. I found out in 2021 when I took the van into the dealer to repair mechanical recalls because I had to ship the vehicle out to Hawaii. The dealer took pictures and sent a claim to Honda, but it was denied. Honda customer service was no help at all and could only direct me to a dealer, which I believe the dealer did what the could by taking pictures and submitting an estimate and claim on my behalf.
