VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
WHILE CHANGING LANES TO PASS A STOPPED BOX VAN ON THE RIGHT, I NICKED THE REAR CORNER OF THE BOX VAN WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR HOUSING. ALTHOUGH THE HOUSING FOLDED FORWARD AS IT IS DESIGNED TO DO, THE MIRROR "POPPED" OUT, FELL TO THE ROADWAY AND BROKE. THIS LEFT ME WITHOUT A DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR, POSING AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE REPAIR, WHICH I AM PERFORMING MYSELF, IS NOT YET COMPLETE DUE TO PARTS DELAYS. NOTE: THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. *AK

POWER SLIDING DOORS REVERSE THEMSELVES THE FIRST TIME ANYTHING GETS IN THEIR PATH. IF YOU STOP THE DOOR AND ATTEMPT TO CLOSE IT A SECOND TIME THE DOORS WILL NOT STOP CLOSING. THE DOOR CLOSED ON MY HUSBANDS FINGERS THE OTHER WEEK AT THE CAR DEALERSHIP. WE ARE LOOKING TO BUY A HONDA ODYSSEY, BUT ARE THINKING TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THAT A CHILD COULD GET HURT PRETTY BAD BY THE POWER OF THIS CLOSING DOOR. THE SALESMAN TOLD US THAT YOU CANNOT TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR A SECOND TIME WITHOUT WAITING FOR A LEAST 1 WHOLE MINUTE, BECAUSE THE MECHANISM NEEDS TO RESET ITSELF. IF CHILDREN ARE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE DOOR IT IS HARD TO SAY THAT THEY WOULD NOT WAIT THE FULL 1 MINUTE AND THAT SOMEONE MIGHT BE IN THE WAY OF THE SLIDING DOOR. *AK
