2004 Honda Odyssey Structure

I OWN A 2004 HONDA ODESSEY. I WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OPENING THE PASSENGER DOOR, WHICH IS AUTOMATIC. MY 2 YEAR-OLD LEANED AGAINST THE OUTSIDE OF THE VAN AGAINST THE REAR PANEL AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE AUTOMATIC REAR DOOR WAS OPENING. SHE BECAME LODGED BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE VAN. THE REVERSE MECHANISM ON THE DOOR DID NOT OPERATE (OR DOESN'T EXIST) AND I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL THE DOOR OFF HER AND DISLODGE HER FROM BETWEEN THE DOOR AND VAN. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO HONDA AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD 10 OTHER REPORTS THUS FAR. MY DAUGHTER DID NOT SUFFER A SERIOUS INJURY. HOWEVER, I FEEL THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SERIOUS INJURY TO A CHILD IN THIS MANNER. *AK

SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OPENS BY ITS BY ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED.*AK THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER THE 4TH TRY THE CONSUMER GOT THE DOOR TO CLOSE. PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENED. THE CONSUMER OPENED THE BACK DOOR AND THE SLIDING DOOR CLOSED BY ITSELF. *TC

PROBLEMS WITH DOOR ON 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY.*MR THE DOOR WAS AJAR 6 INCHES AND WOULD NOT OPEN NOR CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THE CLOSE BUTTON WAS PRESSED BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE DOOR HANDLE WAS PULLED AND THE DOOR STARTED TO CLOSE AND CRUSHED THE TIP OF THE CONSUMER'S FINGER FRACTURING IT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BUT NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. *NM

THE STRUTS OR HATCH PISTONS FAILED ON OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE HATCH WEIGHING WELL OVER 100 POUNDS CAME DOWN ON MY HEAD FULL FORCE. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. SERIOUS INJURY WILL OCCUR WITH HEAD AND NECK INJURY AND IF A SMALLER CHILD IN THE PATH MAYBE WORSE. HONDA IS CHARGING US TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS BE A SUBJECT FOR A RECALL. THEY SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER TWO YEARS. *JB

THE VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR SENSOR FAILED. AS A RESULT A REAR PASSENGER'S HAND WAS SHUT IN THE DOOR. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

DEAR MADAM OR SIR, WHILE DRIVING, WITH TWO CHILDREN SEATED INSIDE ON THE BACK SEATS, MY NEWLY PURCHASED HONDA ODYSSEY SUDDENLY FLASHED ALL THE SIGNALS ON THE CONTROL PANEL/DASH BOARD, BECAME ALMOST NON-MANEUVERABLE AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED. THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER TWO MONTHS OF PURCHASE. MY WIFE, WHO WAS DRIVING THE CAR, AND THE TWO CHILDREN WERE IN PANIC AND SCARED NOT TO SPEAK OF THE TRAUMA AND INCONVENIENCE THEY UNDERWENT. IT PUT MY FAMILY IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ONCE AND MY FAMILY AND I FEEL VERY BAD AND INSECURE ABOUT IT. FORTUNATELY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON A FREEWAY OR ON ANY BUSY ROAD OTHERWISE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS FOR US. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE IN SAME SITUATION AGAIN AND WE HAVE LOST TRUST IN THIS PARTICULAR VANS MACHINERY DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT FAILED SO EARLY IN ITS LIFE CYCLE AND MORE SO BECAUSE THIS FAILURE WAS NOT OF TRIVIAL NATURE. HAD IT BEEN MINOR DEFECTS LIKE MALFUNCTIONING OF LIGHTS, INDICATORS, AC NOT WORKING, AUDIO NOT WORKING ETC. WE WOULD HAVE IGNORED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE FAILED. AS PER DEALERSHIP AND AMERICAN HONDA THE VAN HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT THIS HAPPENED SO EARLY IN THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE SUPPOSEDLY NEW VAN THAT MY FAMILY AND I ARE AFRAID AND HESITANT OF TAKING IT ON EVEN LOCAL ROADS. AS THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK TO THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND ME AND MAY BE ALSO OTHERS, I THOUGHT IT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION. MY FAMILY AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION INTO THIS MATTER THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO US. *AK
