| I have a 2000 honda odyssey. two weeks ago, my sliding door sensor went off for no reason. the doors were closed but when the vehicle was placed into drive the alarm in the car would sound as if one of the doors was open. i checked the doors and after a couple of times of opening and closing them, the alarm did not sound. i was due to have the car serviced for its 75,000 mile service so i waited to bring it into the dealership. when i brought the vehicle in for it's routine service, as i do for each scheduled maintenance, i was told that the door switch was the problem and that it would cost $1,100 to fix. i explained that the vehicle was under an extended warranty that i purchased at the time i bought the vehicle. honda in turn told me that they had called the warranty company (apparently the warranty was not a honda extended warranty. although, this is what rosenthal had portrayed it as) about the repair and that it was not covered. they told me that i could call the warranty company to complain if i felt so inclined to do. i called the warranty company and they said that the warranty had expired because of the mileage. the vehicle is just over 75,063 miles. they did not care that the warranty had expired. my question is how can this be a non-recall issue if a number of people have had the same problem. this situation is the exact reason why i purchased honda's extended warranty. i believe that honda is responsible for the repair. if i had know the doors on this vehicle would cost that much to fix i would have never purchased that van. *jb | |||

| Consumer dissatisfaction with honda concerning notification of recalls to the new owner of the 2000 honda odyssey.***no answer required***. *mr (computers and control systems/egr port clogging) the consumer felt that honda should carry out it's responsibilities and perform the recall repair at no cost to him. *sc the dealer informed the consumer that the recall work had to be performed by 80,000, however the consumers vehicle had over 93,000 miles. *jb | |||

| Power sliding doors opens by itself. dealer replaced latches. problems still existed. called and spoke with manufacturer's representative about problem and i asked for an extended warranty on doors. no response. called dealer to fix problem. dealer will not do repairs unless they see that doors are opens by itself. also, sometimes power doors will not close fully in. sometimes power doors buzzer will comes on occasionally. it's annoying. i think the defective doors are unsafe especially for children. i need a life time warranty on door problems. also fan blower is noisy at medium to high speed. dealer fix once.problem arises again. 80-85% of the time the front brakes are grinding. new pads, same problem. | |||
