NHTSA Complaint #10714373 — 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY

OPEN DRIVER SLIDING DOOR TO PLACE GROCERIES AND SHUT THE DOOR. THERE WAS A BUZZING SOUND (WHICH HAS SOUNDED PREVIOUSLY BUT GOES AWAY IF THE SLIDING DOOR LOCK IS PUT INTO PLACE) AS I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE. AS I TURNED A CORNER, THE DOOR OPENED ALL THE WAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I USED THE AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSER AND IT CLOSED. LESS THAN 10 MINUTES LATER, STILL WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, THE DOOR OPENED FULLY AGAIN. I BRAKED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO USE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSER, AND IT CLOSED, BUT OPENED AGAIN RIGHT AFTER I STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED A CORNER. I STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY, BUT IT WOULDN'T CLOSE TIGHTLY. BECAUSE I WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM HOME, I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T CLOSE COMPLETELY SHUT. LATER, I WENT BACK INTO THE GARAGE, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT SHUT TIGHTLY THIS TIME. NOW, I AM AFRAID TO USE THE DOOR. I BOUGHT THE MINIVAN BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN. *TR
