I had the Honda Dealer do the 75k maintainance on my 1999 Odyssey. When I got it back I noticed one of the side slideing doors was opening, and sounding the alarm when it stopped. It would only close or open via the dashboard switch. And sounded the alarm each time. Upon investigation I determined that both rubber stops, top and bottom were gone! Causeing the mal-function. I got replacments from the Dealer. And talked to mangement. They assured me the technician would not tamper with my van. When I went to replace the stops. They had givin me the wrong one for the bottom. But I discovered both stops in the lower rear track area. The top was in the rear. No way it could end up there without help. The bottom was in the front area of the track opening. It would have had to stick to the moving portion of the door, and traveled to the front. Again this is not likely, or possible.
If your van has similar problems. Check the rubber stops. I knew there could be problems with the side slideing doors. I didn't expect the Dealer to contrubute to the problems. I wish there was another dealer in my area. I have sure lost trust in this one.
