AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT (06/22/2016), I HAD ONLY OWNED THIS 2016 HONDA ODYSSEY FOR A MONTH (DIDN'T EVEN HAVE PLATES ON IT YET). I DROPPED OFF A PASSENGER AT THE FRONT OF THE DINER AND DROVE SLOWLY EAST THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. THE LOT IS NARROW, CROWDED, AND BUSY, WHICH IS WHY I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AT ANY TIME. INSTEAD, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE REGULATING A VERY SLOW, CREEPING SPEED. I DECIDED TO PARK IN A STALL THAT FACED WEST WHICH MEANT I NEEDED TO MAKE A MODERATELY WIDE, HARD, RIGHT U-TURN. THERE ARE SHORT SECURITY P…

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR CONSISTENTLY FAILS TO CLOSE. IT WILL START TO CLOSE, AND THEN HESITATE AND STOP AS IF SOMETHING WERE IN THE DOOR TO STOP IT, WHEN NOTHING IS. WE TYPICALLY HAVE TO TURN THE POWER OFF AND CLOSE IT MANUALLY TO MAKE IT SHUT. ALSO, WHEN PUTTING THE VAN INTO REVERSE, THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN OFTEN GOES BLACK, AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET OFF OF THE BLACK SCREEN IS TO SHUT THE VAN OFF COMPLETELY AND RESTART IT.
