2005 Honda Odyssey Touring review from North America

"Great car, but a horrible problem"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have a 2005 Odyssey Touring.

At about 20K the passenger's sliding door would open and alarm. Dealer said clean the contacts and it fixed the problem for a while. Now after a few years of treating the alarm and opening with this maintenance, both sliding doors are alarming and opening while driving. The driver's side door also illuminates all the ceiling lighting and opens far enough to place my hand out the door. Turning off the dash switch cuts the alarm but does not keep the door from opening.

I am having trouble understanding how a door, which apparently is turned off by the dash switch, can open while I am driving. I also have always kept the child locks in lock position. The dealer tried to tell me that the locks were not engaged, baloney. He should learn to read the arrows before he opens his mouth.

Honda claims no notice from dealers about this problem. I contacted them and got a case number. They said that if I get the problem figured out, to call them and report how it was fixed it. Everyone with this problem should call and get a case number as they told me I was the only one reported. Hard to believe.

I have 80k on my car and the dealer's excuse is there is no computer error being shown. I have the extended warranty so they should fix it. I need help before my kids fly out of my car!!
