NHTSA Complaint #11102218 — 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY

THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLAMMED SHUT WHEN I PUSHED THE CLOSE BUTTON. IF IT WERE OPERATING IN MANUAL MODE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR THIS, AND LUCKILY IT WAS ONLY ME OPERATING THIS DOOR IN THIS INSTANCE, HOWEVER, THE FORCE WITH WHICH IT SHUT, UNEXPECTEDLY, BECAUSE ONE TINY ELECTRICAL WIRE, WHICH APPARENTLY CONTROLS THE WHOLE THING, BECAME DISCONNECTED SOMEHOW, WAS ENOUGH TO SCARE ME QUITE A LOT ABOUT HAVING MY CHILDREN OPERATE THESE DOORS IN THE FUTURE, WHICH SEEMS RIDICULOUS - I SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF MY CHILD BEING ABLE TO SAFELY OPERATE THEIR DOOR. (WE WERE PARKED FACING SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL IN OUR DRIVEWAY).
