STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. THE MANUAL SLIDING DOORS STICK IN WET OR SNOWY WEATHER. SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET THE DOORS OPEN BUT IT TAKES SEVERLA MINUTES. MANYL TIMES I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OPEN EITHER SLIDING DOOR AND HAVE HAD TO PULL MY KIDS OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS TO GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON HONDA ODYSSEYS. MY SISTER HAS A 2000 ODYSSEY AND PULLED THE ENTIRE HANDLE OFF THE DOOR TRYING TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. HONDA HAS 2 SERVICE BULLETINS DETAILING A FIX FOR REPLACING THE WEATHERSTRIPPING BUT THEY WON'T COVER THE COST FOR ME BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THESE DOORS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1999 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED ONLY 3,000 MILES OUT US WARRANTY AND WITHIN THE CANADIAN WARRANTY THE CAR WAS SOLD UNDER. HONDA HAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OTHER SIMILAR MODEL YEARS AND SHOULD HAVE COVERED THIS ONE UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS AT AN ALARMING RATE, OUTSIDE THE IDENTIFIED TRANSMISSIONS, AND WITHOUT RECALL IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONSUMER SITUATION.
