2005 Honda Odyssey Interior & seats Problems

AFTER THE THIRD ROW HAS BEEN FOLDED FLAT AND YOU ARE BRINGING IT BACK OUT TO MAKE IT A SEAT AGAIN, IT OFTEN WILL NOT LATCH WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO HELP GUIDE THE SEAT INTO THE PROPER PLACE. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WITH THE 2 SEAT SECTION AND NOT THE SINGLE SEAT SECTION (SINCE THEY FOLD 60/40). IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THE SEAT DID NOT LATCH, THEN IT CAN EASILY ROLL BACK AND TRY TO FOLD FLAT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SHOULD SOMEONE TRY TO CLIMB OVER IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT WHEN I SAW THAT A CHILD DIED BECAUSE OF IT, I WANTED TO REPORT IT.

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

VEHICLE IS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WITH 89K MILES. THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT POWER DOOR LOCK FAILED, AND ALSO PREVENTED THE DOOR LOCK FROM BEING MANUALLY UNLOCKED. THIS WAS FIRST NOTICED ON DECEMBER 13, 2009. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE DOOR, EITHER EXTERNALLY OR INTERNALLY. THE POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL BUTTON WORKS CORRECTLY TO OPEN THE OTHER DOORS. A PASSENGER SITTING IN THIS SEAT CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR, AND IT CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE -- IT REMAINED LOCKED. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, AND IT WAS STATED THIS TYPE OF FAILURE HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE. I OBTAINED A REPAIR QUOTE OF APPROXIMATELY $200, ASSUMING THE LOCK ACTUATOR WAS AT FAULT. I THEN BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP ON DEC.23, 2009; THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL WAS REMOVED, AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THE LOCK ACTUATOR HAD FAILED. THE PART (P/N 72115-S6A-J01) HAD TO BE ORDERED, AND THE FAULTY COMPONENT WAS REPLACED ON JAN.4, 2010. TOTAL COST FROM THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WAS $120.96. I HAVE RETAINED THE FAILED COMPONENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. FOR APPROX 1.5 YEARS THE LEFT SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR HAS BEEN INOPERABLE. FOR THE FIRST APPROX. 2 MONTHS THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY WITHOUT MANUALLY SLAMMING OR BUMPING IT SHUT SEVERAL TIMES. THEN, IT FROZE, AND WOULD NOT OPEN. SINCE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, I WAS FINE WITH IT STAYING SHUT. SUDDENLY, LAST MONTH (AUG 7), THE DOOR POPPED OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD IN THE SEAT BY THE DOOR. THANKFULLY, WE WERE NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME & I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. AFTER PLAYING WITH THE DOOR FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO SECURE IT AND RETURN HOME. THE DOOR IS NOW FROZEN AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, I AM AFRAID TO TRANSPORT MY 3 KIDS IN THIS CAR. HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. WE CANNOT GET THIS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AS IT HAS EXPIRED AND IS NOT UNDER A RECALL. *TR
