#1 of 9 2011 Honda Odyssey Auto Door issues by jimh10

We bought a 2011 EX-L three weeks ago and recently experienced problems with the driver's side automatic sliding door. The door seems to get jammed while opening and closing and then has to be opened/shut manually. Brought it to the dealer and they've kept it for 2-days so far...said they havent seen this problem yet and not sure how to fix it.
 
Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with the new model?

Got my ex-l back in Oct, no problems with auto slide door. I'd say your issue is an anomaly. This should be the same system they've used for years on the ody.

We have a 2011 odyssey and are having the same problem it has almost crushed our four year old and has opened into the edge of the garage scratching the door. My wife is not happy to say the least and it is going to the dealer tomorrow if we have any luck I'll let you know. Bill

Are we talking about the same problem? One is door does not open/close properly and the other one seems to be opening/closing inadvertently
 
For the 1st case, I believe the door needs to be adjusted/aligned by the dealer, no way around

The Dealer replaced the roller assemble so far so good other than the fact the the door reversed and rubbed the garage before it was fixed.

The door handle on the driver's side is about the fall off. I checked with the local Honda Dealer and the replacement handle with tax is going to cost $319.00, plus and hour to an hour and a half for labor. The bottom line this is going to cost in the neighborhood of $500.00. Is this for real? I couldn't find anywhere out there in "internet heaven" where others experienced the same. Anyone? Any suggestions short of leaving it off and crawling in from the passenger's side. Thank you, Shirley

after a few months of our new 2011 odyssey the sliding doors wouldn't open all the way. i would have to angle my kids to get them in their car seats. it didn't happen all that often so i didn't bother with it but then a month ago someone backed into our passenger sliding door and after fixing it wouldn't close correctly. it would almost latch closed but then beep like there's something in the way and open. i would have to use it on manual to close the doors. it's been doing it on and off for weeks. so far honda hasn't found the issue yet. anyone experience the same thing?

Take it back to whoever fixed the body. They should be able to fix it.

i did and all they said they could do is open and close the doors hoping it would replicate. of course it didn't so they gave it back. i took it back again and they took it to honda. honda did the same thing and it didn't replicate so they gave it back but while they were there they fixed 2 recalls, something with the battery sensor and gps and now my battery sensor check light is on! they told me to bring it back. like i have time with 2 kids to be doing this. and the guy is the head if service!
