Consumer Description

DRIVING ON I270 SOUTH TOWARDS 33 EAST AT 65 MPH WITH 4 TEENAGERS AND 1 8 WEEK OLD BABY IN MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE REAR SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR FLIES OPEN ON ITS OWN. MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT NEXT TO THE DOOR WHEN IT FLEW OPEN. IT SCARED HER HALF TO DEATH AS SHE WAS STARING AT THE PAVEMENT GOING BY AT 65 MPH. THE DOOR WASN'T EVEN ON. I TURN THEM OFF BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THEM OPENING WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T AFTER HEARING ALL THE STORIES ABOUT THESE DOORS. IT'S A GOOD THING MY DAUGHTER HAD HER SEATBELT ON AND SITTING IN HER SEAT OR THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY TRAGIC. NO ONE DIED THIS TIME. WHY WILL HONDA NOT SEE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE. THE LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND YET IT IS STILL FAILING TO THE POINT THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT ON IT'S OWN. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES HERE!!! *TR
