THE SAFETY MECHANISM FAILED TO KEEP THE DOORS IN THE OPEN POSITION AFTER IT WAS UNLOCKED. THE DOORS FAILED CONTINUOUSLY WHEN IT WAS COLD AND ICE FORMED ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE DOOR LATCHES TO REMAIN UNLOCKED.

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY NOW HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT. PURCHASED IN APRIL, 2010. AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE IN VARIOUS TYPES OF WEATHER (COLD, HOT, MILD, WET, SNOW) THE FRONT PASSENGER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DOOR LATCH NOT DISENGAGING. THE BUTTON WAS PUSHED TO UNLOCK. THE DOOR LOCKS APPEARED TO UNLOCK (THE STEM WENT UP). HOWEVER, THE DOOR WAS STILL LOCKED. AFTER TRYING VARIOUS THINGS LIKE REINSERTING THE KEY, TURNING ON/OFF THE ENGINE, ACTIVATING THE UNLOCK FEATURE ON THE KEYLESS ENTRY BUTTON, THE DOOR FINALLY WOULD UNLOCK AND OPEN. AS A SIDE NOTE, WHEN EXITING THE VAN I ALWAYS RECEIVE A SLIGHT STATIC SHOCK. *TR
