description: I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. THE METAL HINGES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR DO A TERRIBLE JOB AT KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN. A SLIGHT GUST OF WIND OR IF THE CAR IS ON AN INCLINE, THE DOORS WILL SLAM SHUT ON THEIR OWN. I BROKE A WATCH BAND AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO SEVERELY INJURE MY WRIST ONE TIME. IT PROBABLY CLOSED ON MY SHINS BEFORE THAT. I WON'T LET MY CHILDREN NEAR THE FRONT DOORS WHEN THEY ARE OPEN, FOR FEAR OF SEVERE INJURY TO SOME BODY PART BEING SLAMMED INTO THE DOOR. I MAKE A POINT TO HAVE MY WHOLE BODY LEANING ON THE DOOR IF IT NEEDS TO STAY OPEN FOR SOME PURPOSE NOW. THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO RECOGNIZE THE SYMPTOM, BUT SAID THERE WAS NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I BET OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ANOTHER CAR THAT I WAS AFRAID THE FRONT DOOR WOULD SLAM SHUT ON ME - WITHOUT WARNING - BEFORE THIS. THANK YOU - MIKKI BATES. *JB
