I have a 2007 honda odyssey and the sliding doors do not latch properly, which could open while driving with my children sitting in the car. i get an audible chime telling me "a" door is ajar, but no warning light on the dash. when i come to a stop by hitting the breaks i hear the door finally close. this is a very scary knowing that i could be driving down the interstate and my doors could slide open at anytime. i have taken my car to the dealership numerous times in which they have replaced a failed door latch and tightened the chain and the problem still has not been corrected. i have seen many issues with this in other forums and i wonder what it is going to take for a recall to be issued. *tr
