NHTSA complaint: 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY — LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ON THE POWER SLIDING DOORS OF OUR HONDA MINIVAN DISABLE THE DOORS FROM BEING OPENED FROM THE INSIDE; HOWEVER, WHEN THE SLIDING DOORS ARE OPEN, THE DOORS CAN BE CLOSED USING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE, EVEN WITH THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ENGAGED. OUR 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ACTIVATED THE OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE, HURTING HER HAND IN THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE AS THE DOOR CLOSED (ONCE THE DOOR IS IN MOTION, THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS USING THE KEY FOB OR THE DASHBOARD SWITCH). THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS SHOULD DISABLE THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE TO BOTH OPEN AND CLOSE THE POWER SLIDING DOORS. *JB
