2000 Honda Odyssey EX review from North America
"Excellent car except for the power sliding door latching problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power sliding door would not close all the way.
General comments?
I've had the same problem as most folks about the power sliding door not latching. I have to push the rear of the door to get it to latch properly. I've tried to reset the door by pulling out fuse 13, but that didn't help. I think Honda should extend its warranty on the sliding door or show us how to disconnect power to it so we could still use the doors manually. I've tried to removed the body panel that covers the sliding rail on the side of the car, but couldn't figure out how it was mounted. Removing the one screw holding the panel didn't help. Anyone has an idea of how to remove this panel? Seems to me that maybe the door was designed this way so that Honda could milk us even more after the short factory warranty ran out.
