STRUCTURE

I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey. About 6 months ago the drivers side sliding door fell off the tracks. This happened while we were trying to close the door but it would not slide at all. We were out at a restaurant and it was imperative that the door had to be shut because it was not safe to drive in that condition. We were able to somewhat put it back on but it can not be used at all at this time. When the door fell off, it gouged the side of the van, damaged the gas filler door, and the rear door is hard to close. I don't know if its closed or not until I get in the car and see that the indicator light on. Also, the car alarm goes off on its own even though my son disabled it. It's very disruptive. After do some research, I have learned that this is an ongoing problem with Honda Odysseys. Honda needs to be held responsible because this is obviously a manufacturer defect. I can not afford to spend $1000 to replace it nor should it have to spend money to fix it.

THE DOOR WAS NOT OPEINING PROPERLY SO I WHENT TO OPEN MANUALLY ANTHE HEAVY DOOR CAME OFF THE VAN SCRACHED THE HELL OUT OF MY VAN AND HURT ME TRYING TO HOLD IT AS NOT TO SCRACH THE VAN I WAS ALONE AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP ME THIS IS VERY DANGERIOUS AND IVE READ IT HAPPENS OFTEN I CAN NO LONGER USE THE DOOR AS IT KEEPS HAPPINING

Sep 23, 2020

Injuries: 1

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. MY DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF AND WAS HANGING BY THE CABLE USED TO SHUT IT. THANK GOD IT HAPPENED TO ME ON BOTH OCCASIONS AS THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY. I HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE STATING THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. I AM FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF ONE SAID PERSON TO GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT

Jul 04, 2020

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE LATCH EVEN THOUGH UNLOCKED AS THE DOOR LOCK KNOB WAS UP. THIS PROBLEM WAS OBSERVED ABOUT MID DECEMBER 2019. TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER, SOUTH TACOMA HONDA, AND THEY COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR EITHER. THEY SAID THE INTERIOR PANEL WOULD NEED TO BE DESTROYED TO ACCESS THE MECHANISMS AND REPAIR. HAD THE REPAIR DONE BY SOUTH TACOMA HONDA WHO REPLACED THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TEAR IT OUT, LATCH AND ACTUATOR FOR $1,092.56. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY THE ACTUATOR AND LATCH FAILED. I'M CONCERNED THIS COULD OCCUR WITH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR TOO. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE DOOR(S) WON'T OPEN.

Jan 05, 2020

WHEN IT GET COLD WEATHER THE SLIDING DOORS OPEN WHILE DRIVING WHAT IF KIDS ARE SITTING THERE HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES I FIXED IT BUT EVERY YEAR SAME PROBLEM WITH COLD AND FREEZING WEATHER DOORS DON'T CLOSE AND IF THEY DO WHILE DRIVING WILL OPEN BY THEM SELF IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON HIGHWAY AND REGULAR STREET MY KIDS WERE SITTING RIGHT BY THEM WHEN DOOR OPENED THANK GOD THEY WERE IN SEATBELTS

Aug 09, 2021

PURCHASED MY VAN USED IN 2012. IT HAD A STEERING ISSUE BUT I WAS NEW TO THE FEEL OF HONDA HANDLING AND THOUGHT IT WAS OK AND NORMAL. I HAVE HAD INCREASING ISSUES WITH MY CAPABILITY TO STEER. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RESERVOIR BUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY VAN DID NOT HAVE IT SERVICED. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID IT IS PASSED WARRANTY AND CANNOT ABSORB THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I SAY, THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, IT SHOULD BE FIXED NOW BECAUSE HONDA NEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHILE THE TIME FRAME STILL OBLIGATED THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY STEERING MY VAN, TURNING THE VAN, WITH CHILDREN IN IT, AND SO THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ADDRESSED AND FIXED WHEN HONDA SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT.

Jun 23, 2021

WE ARE THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VAN BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER. AT APPROXIMATELY 145K MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALERS WANTED A SMALL FORTUNE TO REPAIR IT, MORE THAN THE CAR WAS WORTH IT. I LEARNED THAT IT IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH THOSE HONDA ODYSSEYS. THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED THOUGH.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON NOW. IS IT DEFECTIVE OR IS THIS A COMMON EVENT WITH THIS VEHICLE???

Sep 24, 2019

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING. FOR THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS, MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DOESN'T WORK WHEN I START MY CAR (PIC'S ATTACHED). BECAUSE OF THIS I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM. I THEN FOUND ALL THE MAJOR AIR BAG PROBLEMS. I PUT IN MY VIN, BUT THE MSG I GET IS THAT IT DOESN'T AFFECT MY CAR, BECAUSE I'M REGISTERED IN CA. HOWEVER IT DOES SAY ONE OF THE CAUSES IS EXCESSIVE HEAT. I LIVE IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY & THE HEAT FOR THE PAST MO. HAS BEEN 100 DEGREES OR ABOVE, & WHEN THE CAR IS CLOSED UP I'M SURE THE MINIMUM INSIDE IS ABOVE 125 DEGREES & WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED. WHEN YOU ARE REPLACING MILLIONS OF AIR BAGS, I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY INCLUDE ONES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING CURRENT PROBLEMS. THANK YOU

ONE MORNING AS WE WERE STARTED UP THE ENGINE I NOTICED A SOMEWHAT LOUD NOISE AS IS THE MUFFLER HAD A HOLE IN IT. I DROVE IT FOR AWHILE AND NOTICED AT THIS POINT THAT THE NOISE WAS HEARD AS WE ACCELERATED AND WHEN THE CAR WENT INTO ECO MODE. I HAD STOOD OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE MY WIFE DROVE AWAY BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANY NOISE. THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER ON A RECALL, FUEL PUMP, AND ASKED FOR THEM TO LOOK UNDER IT. THEY REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNT THAT WAS WORN DOWN. I SEE THAT HONDA ODYSSEY, 2005 (OUR YEAR MODEL) THROUGH 2007 HAS THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY TYPE OF ACTION THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO HAVE HONDA REPAIR THIS INCIDENT WITHOUT THE COST COMING FROM ME. *TR

COME ON HONDA .... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I LIVE IN A HILLY TOWN. ALL WINTER LONG, NO PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. AS SOON AS IT GETS WARM AND I BRAKING WHEN COMING DOWN A HILL (EVEN A VERY GENTLE SLOPE), THE FRONT BRAKES MAKE THE MOST HORRIFIC GRINDING NOISE. I'VE BEEN TOLD OVER AND OVER BY PEOPLE AT STOP LIGHTS, THAT I REALLY NEED TO GET MY BRAKES FIXED (BUT HONDA CONTINUES TO SAY THE BRAKES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE). MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN THE GRINDING OCCURS, I BARELY GOT STOPPED FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, LET ALONE EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING. IF HONDA DOES NOTHING ABOUT THIS, IT WILL BE THE LAST HONDA I EVER OWN AND I WILL FOR SURE CONVINCE 100 PEOPLE TO NOT BUY HONDA EITHER. PLEASE FORCE HONDA TO FINALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

THE ODYSSEY VSA LIGHT WENT ON IN AUGUST 2010. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE BRIGHTON HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MI, THEY SAID I NEEDED TO HAVE MY VSA MODULATOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED FOR THE PRICE OF $1257.44. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANICAL ENGINEER THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED AT THIS LOW MILEAGE. I CONTACTED HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION IN TORRANCE, CA LAST MONTH.

ENGINE

38 complaints

I bought the 2005 Odyssey van in 12/2015. It now has 192,426 miles on it. Three or four times every year since I bought it, the engine will suddenly surge when coming to a stop sign or light, with my right foot on the brake pedal, braking and slowing the van for the stop sign or light. The engine revs to about 5000 or 6000 RPMs. It is as if the engine is flooring the gas pedal. Every time, I have been able to push the brake pedal down hard, even though the car continues to slowly roll forward, and shove it into neutral. I have to then tap the gas pedal to stop the engine accelerating. It then goes back to idling normally. Note, it even happened to me one time when I put it into reverse while parking! So very scary each and every time it happens. On [XXX], I took the van to Don Jacobs Honda Dealership, Lexington, KY. They said there were no reports of this ever happening to anyone else. They charged me $3216.06, with most of the cost for a new timing belt/water pump and a valve adjustment. When their repairs did not solve the problem, I called them. They said they would like to put a monitor on the van and drive it until the surge happened again. I told them to let me drive the van with the monitor, as the next surge might not happen for several months, and I needed to drive the van on a daily basis for work. They said they weren't allowed to let customers use the monitor! I finally had time today to research the surging problem. I noticed on [XXX] that this problem with Honda has never been figured out or fixed! And it keeps happening on even newer Honda Odysseys! I now have the resources to quit driving this van. I would be willing to donate the van to the NHTSA so that they may research and try to figure out how to stop this defect! No telling how many people have been injured or killed due to this defect.

Aug 17, 2009

THIS IS TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND REQUEST HONDA. I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY COUNTING ON ITS QUALITY AND RELIABILITY AND UNFORTUNATELY HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED. THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER JUST AT 37,000 MILES. BETTER YET I WAS TOLD BY HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY ANYWAY BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY 'SOME ROAD DEBRIS HITTING THE CONDENSER'. WHAT IS THE ODD THAT HUNDREDS OF HONDA CUSTOMERS HAVE RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE (EVIDENCED BY THE DISCUSSION FORUM THREADS ON MANY THAT'S OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET). HONDA'S OFFICIAL SITE STATES: 'CAUTION: RADIATOR AND CONDENSER FINS ARE VERY THIN AND EASILY DAMAGED. DO NOT BEND THEM WITH HIGH WATER PRESSURE OR BRUSH'. SO WHY THEN DID HONDA PUT THE A/C CONDENSER COMPLETELY EXPOSED ON THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE THAT CAN LEGALLY TRAVEL AT SPEEDS UP TO 75 MPH? OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED, OR AT LEAST INSTALL A PROTECTIVE GRILLE BEFORE CUSTOMERS ARE HIT WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. 2008 AND NEWER HONDA VANS NOW COME WITH STANDARD PROTECTION GUARDS ON THE FRONT BUT IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ALL YOUR LOYALTY CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED A 2007 OR EARLIER ODYSSEY. AS A REPUTABLE AUTO COMPANY, HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THIS OUTRIGHT FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

TIRES

28 complaints

I Purchased Cooper Evolution M+S 235/65 R16 tires that I purchased from Tire kingdom at 220 Linto BLVD Delray Beach FL. 33444. The set of tires have low miles on them and tread wear is great. When I got the tires I felt a vibration in the tires from the front pretty quickly. I had my whole front end of my car replaced including beairings, no help. So I spent money and replaced the 2 front tires with the same tires and they were very young tires and a wheel alignment and the shaking was mitigated in the front but the car still vibrated slightly. The wheel alignment had the steering wheel off center so I went back another wheel alignment to correct and I mention to them the car is vibrating still if they can inspect the tires and when we looked the front LH tire had tread seperation which looked like someone took a knife andtried to carve the tread at the seem off the tire it went in about 3 inches plus. Tire kingdom accused me of hitting something I was like we barley drive this car and why would and I hit absolutely nothing. So they analyzed it and prorated me another tire of the same brand. So now we are on 7 new tires for one mini van that barely gets driven. I went to Orlando and my back rear of the van was vibrating the last 10 miles I had to take the side streets. I went to Walmart and purchased brand new Good years for my van and there is now zero vibration I love it. My my van has been vibrating the day I got the Cooper Evolutions and I went through 7 tires a new front end and replaced rear spindles because I could believe tire with such amazing tread life would vibrate a car like that. If I went for a prorated #8 tire I would still have vibrations. I called cooper tires to complian they gave me a claim number 2003880477 and said bring to tire kindom who refused the tires. We called back Cooper who only again said bring to tire kingdom . I have all 4 tires waiting to be inspected with the 4th tire completly out of shape without air in it. Tire kindome no help

I PURCHASED 4 GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TOURING P235/65R16 TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLED ON 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY LX. VEHICLE WAS ALIGNED AND TIRES ROTATED, BALANCED, AND PRESSURE CHECKED REGULARLY. THE TIRE WAS ADVERTISED WITH A 70,000 MILE TREAD LIFE WARRANTY. AT APPROXIMATELY 17,300 MILES I NOTICED THE TREAD ON ALL 4 TIRES APPEARED TO BE SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE WHEN VIEWED FROM THE SIDE. I TOOK IT TO ORIGINAL TIRE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AT THE NEXT ROTATION, I AGAIN NOTED THAT THE SEPARATION APPEARED TO BE GETTING WORSE. AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL. AT 24,000 MILES, AND WITHIN 400 MILES OF A ROTATION AND BALANCE, THE TIRES DEVELOPED A VERY MILD VIBRATION, WHICH HAS NEVER COMPLETELY GONE AWAY, EVEN WITH FURTHER ROTATION AND BALANCE. AT 45,000 MILES, THERE WERE CRACKS (POSSIBLY DRY ROT) BEGINNING TO FORM ALL OVER THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. ADDITIONALLY, THE TREAD HAD NOTICEABLE SEPARATION FROM TIRE. LASTLY, THE TIRES HAD WORN TO THE 2/32 MINIMUM TREAD DEPTH. THE TIRE DEALER REFUSED SERVICE OR EVEN PRORATE THE TIRE TOWARDS NEW ONES. I CALLED GOODYEAR, BUT THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO DEAL WITH THE TIRE DEALER, AS THAT TIRE WAS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM. THE TIRE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM, THOUGH THEY HAVE NOW OFFERED A MINIMAL PREPORATION AMOUNT WHICH ISN'T ENOUGH TO OFFSET THE COST OF THE INSTALLATION OF NEW TIRES. THE DEALER REFUSES TO PRORATE BASED ON ACTUAL MILEAGE VS WARRANTED MILEAGE, ALTHOUGH THEIR WRITTEN WARRANTY POLICY STATES THAT IS THE WAY THE WARRANTY SHOULD BE HANDLED. *TR

TIRE WAS REPLACED FOR $53 UNDER WARRANTY AT 77968 MILES. ON 10 OCT 11, RETURNED TO DEALER AND FOUND 2ND TIRE SEPARATING. REPLACED FOR $73 UNDER WARRANTY AT 79720. ON 23 MAY 2012, 3RD TIRE WAS FOUND TO BE SEPARATING AT 84275 MILES. I CONTACTED TOYO BY EMAIL. REP CALLED MY LOCAL TIRE DEALER, RAFFIELD TIRE, AND DISCUSSED ISSUE. DEALER WAS TOLD TO RE-INSPECT 4TH TIRE CLOSELY WHILE REPLACING THE 3RD TIRE FOR $83 UNDER WARRANTY. IT APPEARED TO BE OK. ON 3 JUL 12 THE 4TH TIRE WAS REPLACED FOR $79 UNDER WARRANTY AT 85676. HAD LONG DISCUSSION WITH TOYO CUSTOMER SERVICE. WAS TOLD THERE WERE "NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS TIRE". VERY FUNNY THAT ALL 4 TIRES FOR MY VEHICLE FAILED. TIRE DEALER DOES ROTATION/BALANCE/CHECK EVERY 5000 MILES. WANTED TOYO TO REPLACE THIS TIRE AT THEIR COST DUE TO ALL OF THE TROUBLE I HAVE HAD. REP REFUSED, STATING THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT LET THEM DO ANY CUSTOMER RELIEF OTHER THAN THE LIMITED WARRANTY ON TIRE. OTHERWISE, "THEY WOULD BE GUILTY OF HIDING DEFECT INFORMATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT". I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES IF ALL 4 OF MY TIRES FAILED. THEY ALSO COULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR I HAD DONE IN AUG 2011 SINCE THE TIRE WAS NOT TURNED OVER TO AN INDEPENDENT 3RD PARTY FOR ANALYSIS. *JS

Van turns off while driving after front lights is turn on or radio with charging a phone

May 09, 2022

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the battery would intermittently drain overnight while the vehicle was turned off. The contact had taken the vehicle to several dealers including New Century Honda (1235 S Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91204), AutoNation Honda Valencia (23551 Magic Mountain Pkwy, Valencia, CA 91355) and several independent mechanics who replaced the battery; however, the mechanics were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the battery would last for a three to six-month period before the failure would occur again. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. Upon his own investigation, the contact stated that the failure may be linked to the rear driver sliding door after the door failed to open electronically, and could only be opened manually. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The contact states that there is an issue with the rear sliding door. This may be the cause of the battery drainage since the door often cannot be electrically opened, only manually.

THE SLIDING DOORS ARE UNSAFE. THEY DO NOT STAY LOCKED AND ARE HARD TO CLOSE. I HAVE SEEN WERE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SLIDING DOORS. I HAVE SLAMMED THE DOORS AND THE DOORS STILL SHOW AS OPENED AND HAVE SLID OPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED. THE AUTO FUNCTION OF THE DOORS ALSO DOESN'T WORK WELL.

A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN AND ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. I CALLED HONDA IN OCTOBER ABOUT IT THEY SAID TAKE TO DEALER TO CHECK FUEL RELAY SWITCH, DEALER SAID IT WAS OKAY, BUT TO DIAGNOSE THE SMELL THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME $120. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY SO I HAD TO LEAVE. BEEN SICK WITH DEALING CANCER APPOINTMENTS AND , HAD NO TIME OR MONEY TO DEAL WITH CAR, FINALLY I TOOK IT ON 12/6/2016 TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR ONLY $40 AND THEY SAID IT HAD A CRACK ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP CASING. BUT THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS GOING TO COST $563. THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT AROUND, SO I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID IF I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY MIGHT HELP ME WITH THE REPAIR, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE CAR TO BLOW UP WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. I INQUIRED AS TO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE ADVISER STATED THAT SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, BUT WOULD SEE IF I COULD GET OUT OF WARRANTY HELP, I TOLD HER THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE AND HAD PRINTED OUT SO MANY PEOPLE STATING THEIR 2005 HONDAS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS FAULTY CASING WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RISK MINE OR ANYONE ELSE'S LIFE. I WILL REPOST THE OUTCOME, HONDA GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER AND SAID SOMEONE SHOULD CONTACT ME BY THE END ON 12/09/2013 TO LET ME KNOW IF THE CAN HELP WITH THE COST. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WITH 89K MILES. THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT POWER DOOR LOCK FAILED, AND ALSO PREVENTED THE DOOR LOCK FROM BEING MANUALLY UNLOCKED. THIS WAS FIRST NOTICED ON DECEMBER 13, 2009. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE DOOR, EITHER EXTERNALLY OR INTERNALLY. THE POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL BUTTON WORKS CORRECTLY TO OPEN THE OTHER DOORS. A PASSENGER SITTING IN THIS SEAT CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR, AND IT CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE -- IT REMAINED LOCKED. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, AND IT WAS STATED THIS TYPE OF FAILURE HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE. I OBTAINED A REPAIR QUOTE OF APPROXIMATELY $200, ASSUMING THE LOCK ACTUATOR WAS AT FAULT. I THEN BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP ON DEC.23, 2009; THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL WAS REMOVED, AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THE LOCK ACTUATOR HAD FAILED. THE PART (P/N 72115-S6A-J01) HAD TO BE ORDERED, AND THE FAULTY COMPONENT WAS REPLACED ON JAN.4, 2010. TOTAL COST FROM THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WAS $120.96.

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. FOR APPROX 1.5 YEARS THE LEFT SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR HAS BEEN INOPERABLE. FOR THE FIRST APPROX. 2 MONTHS THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY WITHOUT MANUALLY SLAMMING OR BUMPING IT SHUT SEVERAL TIMES. THEN, IT FROZE, AND WOULD NOT OPEN. SINCE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, I WAS FINE WITH IT STAYING SHUT. SUDDENLY, LAST MONTH (AUG 7), THE DOOR POPPED OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD IN THE SEAT BY THE DOOR. THANKFULLY, WE WERE NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME & I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. AFTER PLAYING WITH THE DOOR FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO SECURE IT AND RETURN HOME. THE DOOR IS NOW FROZEN AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, I AM AFRAID TO TRANSPORT MY 3 KIDS IN THIS CAR. HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. WE CANNOT GET THIS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AS IT HAS EXPIRED AND IS NOT UNDER A RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I-90, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TEMPERATURE WAS 45 DEGREES. INSIDE SUN ROOF COVER WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS ENTERED THE INTERIOR. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME. HAD THE COVER BEEN OPENED AND SMALL CHILDREN IN THE MIDDLE SEATS, SERIOUS INJURIES MAY HAVE OCCURRED. I SUGGEST THAT A SAFETY NOTICE BE ISSUED STATING THAT WHEN THE MIDDLE AND BACK ROW OF SEATS ARE OCCUPIED THEN THE SUN ROOF COVER BE CLOSED. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW AS THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND MOST ARE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE 2005 MODEL ODYSSEY VAN. IN ADDITION A SAFETY RECALL MAY BE IN ORDER. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE INFORMED.

3 WEEKS AGO MY FAMILY COMPLAINED THAT THEY SMELLED GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR, I LATER SMELLED IT ALSO. I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP HAS CRACKS ON THE TOP COVER AND THAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK. I LOOKED INTO IT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT FROM 2005 TO 2010 THERE WAS RECALLS ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THE TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BASED ON MY VIN. I STARTED THE CAR THIS PAST FRIDAY AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AND LEAKED OUT FUEL FROM THE BOTTOM. IT SEEMS I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE HONDA ODYSSEYS.

ON SATURDAY AUGUST 1, 2015, I WAS ON MY WAY FROM THE AIRPORT WITH THREE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WHEN THE VAN SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. UPON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT, THE VAN WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. MY FUEL GAUGE AND LIGHT WERE NOT INDICATING NO FUEL (WHICH WAS THE FIRST THING THAT THE OFFICER WHO ASSISTED IN PUSHING THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD LOOKED AT). THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP RAN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE AND DECIDED THAT ALL THE VEHICLE'S SIX CYLINDERS WERE MIS-FIRING DUE TO LOW FUEL PRESSURE (5PSI) AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THE LAST TIME I HAD DRIVEN THE VAN PRIOR TO AUGUST 1, WAS JULY 21, 2015 WHEN I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER FOR THE FUEL PUMP FILTER REPLACEMENT (THE VEHICLE HAD 147,504 MILES ON IT LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP). THE DEALER CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE REASON WHY THE VEHICLE STOPPED WAS THAT I HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL. I ASKED HOW THE CYLINDER MISFIRINGS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON EARLIER ON AUGUST 1ST WAS RELATED TO AN EMPTY TANK, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WERE RELATED. BUT HE SAID HE COULD NOT PROMISE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STALL AGAIN BECAUSE ALL THE FUEL PUMP PART COULD BE GETTING OLD AND FAILING. NOW, ABOUT THE FUEL GAUGE THAT "FAILED" TO WORK AFTER THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WORK WAS DONE, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CLAIMED THAT THEIR TECHNICIAN RECHECKED WHAT HE DID ON JULY 21ST AND FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH IT. FURTHERMORE, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ODYSSEY FUEL PUMP IS DEEPER THAN THE "FILTER" REPLACEMENT PATCH THAT HONDA HAS IMPROVISED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US GO AFTER HONDA OF AMERICA TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY REPLACING ALL DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS AND NOT JUST THE FUEL PUMP FILTER.

WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE STARTED TO RACE AND ACCELERATE. I HAD TO STEP VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. I GOT THE VEHICLE STOPPED, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE; WHEN I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, THE RPMS INCREASED EVEN MORE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK, AND THE RPMS FINALLY WENT DOWN. HAD I NOT STEPPED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES AT THE START OF THE INCIDENT, I WOULD HAVE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AND HIT OTHER CARS IN THE INTERSECTION. WHEN MY SON WAS LEARNING TO DRIVE TWO YEARS AGO, HE HAD TWO SIMILAR INCIDENTS WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR. IN BOTH CASES, AS HE WAS COMING TO A STOP IN A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND HOPPED THE CURB. AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE MAY HAVE HIT THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE, BUT NOW I WONDER IF HE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING EDITION. I HAD DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES, AND ACCELERATED TO PASS A SLOW-MOVING TRUCK. MY ACCELERATOR STUCK. I STOOD ON THE BRAKES BUT COULD NOT STOP. FINALLY, I THREW ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND THROW MY CAR INTO PARK. IT WAS A VERY NEAR MISS, AND I FEEL LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS TO JL FREED HONDA, THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE STUCK ACCELERATOR WAS CAUSED BY THE GAS PEDAL BEING STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT. THREE PEOPLE EXPLAINED IT THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO ME. ONE PERSON SAID THAT MY HONDA-ISSUED ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MAT WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED ON TOP OF THE CARPET MAT. BOTH WERE ISSUED AND INSTALLED BY JL FREED. INSINUATION WAS THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE CARPETED MAT. THE SECOND PERSON TOLD ME THAT MY ALL-WEATHER MAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANCHORED. THIS WAS NEVER AN OPTION THAT HAD BEEN OFFERED TO ME AND AGAIN, WOULD INDICATE FAULT ON THE PART OF HONDA. FINALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT I MYSELF HAD INCORRECTLY INSTALLED THE MAT, WHICH GOES ACROSS BOTH FRONT SEATS AND AROUND THE FRONT CONSOLE. I ASKED IF THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE, AND THEY SAID NO. THEY ALSO NEGLECTED TO CHECK MY CAR FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN INCURRED BY STANDING ON THE BRAKES AT FULL ACCELERATION AND/OR USING THE PARKING BRAKE AND THROWING MY CAR INTO PARK WHILE MOVING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOME AND NOW NO LONGER TRUST HONDA. *TR

THIS HAPPENED ON APRIL 20TH, 2009 AT 3PM. WHILE THE SUV (MY FATHER-IN-LAW 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN) WAS PARKED, MY 8-YEAR OLD BECAME ENTANGLED IN THE SEAT BELT OF THE 3RD ROW MIDDLE SEAT. THE SEAT BELT WAS WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK. MY WIFE BECAME AWARE WHEN THE OTHER CHILDREN SCREAMED FOR HELP. MY CHILD HAD ALREADY TURNED BLUE AND HE COULD NOT EVEN SPEAK. MY WIFE JUMPED IMMEDIATELY TO THE 3RD ROW BUT THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT LOOSE AND THERE WAS ANY SLACK TO LOOSEN THE BELT. DURING ALL ATTEMPTS TO LOOSEN IT, THE BELT GOT TIGHTER WHILE MY CHILD WAS BEING ASPHYXIATED. MIRACULOUSLY, SHE WAS ABLE TO LOOSE THE BELT AND RELEASED HIM JUST BEFORE HE DIE . THE CHILD WAS INJURED IN THE NECK, HAD BRUISES AND BROKEN CAPILLARIES THROUGHOUT HIS FACE, EYES AND EARS, ETC. DURING THIS WEEK, HE HAD REQUIRED MEDICAL STUDIES INCLUDING GENERAL DOCTOR, PAEDIATRIST, NEURO, OPHTHALMOLOGIST, ENT AND PSYCHOLOGIST. I AM LOOKING HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA BY INTERNET...NO LUCK SO FAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NOT A SAFETY FEATURE TO MANUALLY LOOSEN THE SEAT BELT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A MANUAL KEY FOR RELEASE IT FROM THE BOTTOM, BUT IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO FIND THE KEY AND RELEASE IT THAT WAY, MY SON WOULD HAVE DIE FOR SURE. MAKING RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT SEEMS TO BE THAT HONDA FIXED A SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING CHILD CAR SEATS, BUT THEY HAVE CREATED A NEW SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL CHILDREN. I AM SURE THAT HONDA ENGINEERS EVALUATED THIS SAFETY HAZARD BUT RATED WITH A SERIOUS SEVERITY BUT WITH A LOW LIKELIHOOD OF OCCURRENCE. THEREFORE, THIS NOT REQUIRED ANY MEASURES FOR RISK MITIGATION. I THINK THAT GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THIS HAZARD AND ITS POTENTIAL HARMS (MAJOR INJURY, DEATH, ETC), HONDA MUST RE-EVALUATE ITS RISK ASSESSMENT AND TAKE AN ACTION BY REDESIGNING THIS SEAT BELT. IN ADDITION, I THINK HONDA COULD HAVE EVALUATED THIS HAZARD FROM A MISUSE PERSPECTIVE. HOWEVER, A NORMAL CHILD PLAYING INSIDE THE CAR COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS SUCH. *TR

WE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT SWAYING WHILE DRIVING OUR HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 WITH 4 OTHER ADULTS AND 2 KIDS IN OUR VEHICLE. WE WERE IN FAIRLY NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, NO SIGNIFICANT WINDS OR ICY ROADS BUT JUST TRYING TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE WE HAD TOO MANY DIFFICULTIES TO CONTINUE.

WE ENDED UP HAVING TO CANCEL OUR TRIP AS WE WERE SWERVING AND UNABLE TO CONTROL THE "SWAY" OF THE VAN WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF 55-60 MPH. WE WERE UNSAFE TO MANEUVER ON THE HIGHWAYS AND UPON A CHECK UP WE FOUND OUT OUR RIGHT STRUT WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT, AND THE LEFT ONE ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED (ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE/VAN).

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL-RES ON 7/21/05 AND I'VE HAD A CONSISTENT PROBLEM EVER SINCE. FROM THE FIRST DAY I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM CLINTON HONDA'S PARKING LOT I IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION. IT WAS HORRIBLE AND STARTED AT 65 MPH AND CONTINUED TO 75 MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE VERY NEXT DAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS OUT OF BALANCED WHEELS -- EACH WHEEL WAS OFF BY 30 GRAMS. THAT SAME DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE WHEELS ZEROED OUT AND HE DIDN'T FEEL THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE HE COULD DO. I INSISTED THAT HE REPAIR THE PROBLEM SO HE TOLD ME TO COME BACK A WEEK LATER AFTER HE SENT A MECHANIC OUT FOR TRAINING ON THEIR HUNTER WHEEL BALANCING MACHINE. I RETURNED A WEEK LATER AND THIS TIME THEY ROAD-FORCED BALANCED THE TIRES AND FOUND THEM TO BE 10 GRAMS OFF EACH SIDE. THEY ALSO FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE WHICH SUGGESTED A TOE ADJUSTMENT -- WHICH THEY PERFORMED. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN EXPECTING THE PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED BUT IT WASN'T. INSTEAD, I NOW HAVE AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM WHERE THE VEHICLE PULLS EXCESSIVELY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT DEPENDING ON THE CURVATURE OF THE ROAD --WHEREAS BEFORE IT WOULD KEEP ITS INTENDED COURSE. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN -- THIS TIME TO SPEAK WITH MY SALES PERSON AND THE SALES MANAGER. THE SALES PERSON ACCOMPANIED ME FOR A TEST DRIVE TO WITNESS THE PROBLEM. HE NOTICED THE PROBLEM AS I DID SO HE SUGGESTED THAT WE TEST DRIVE ANOTHER ODYSSEY TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS SYSTEMATIC. WE DROVE A GOLD COLOR ODYSSEY (BOTH HIM AND I) AND THAT VEHICLE DID NOT EXHIBIT THE PROBLEM. ALSO, I MENTIONED TO THE SALES PERSON THAT THE SLIVER DEMO I INITIALLY DROVE DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM EITHER. *NM

WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR 2005 HONDA HAD A DAMAGED/BROKEN REAR ENGINE MOUNT. ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE TOLD BY THE HONDA SERVICE WRITER THAT THIS IF FROM NORMAL DRIVING WEAR AND TEAR, SUCH AS SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, ACCELERATION AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. IT CERTAINLY SEEMS AF IF HONDA TERRIBLY UNDER ENGINEERED THIS PART. THERE ACTIVITIES ARE PART OF NORMAL DRIVING. OUR VAN HAS 62,XXX MILES ON IT AND USED MOSTLY FOR SUBURBAN DRIVING, AND NOT EXCEEDING THE RECOMMENDED DRIVING CONDITIONS FROM HONDA. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $850 FOR THE ONE MOUNT. CLEARLY HONDA SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE AND REPLACE THESE ITEMS, AT THEIR EXPENSE, FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

ISSUE: DESIGN FLAW IN 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL NAV RES WHICH EXPOSES THE VEHICLES AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER TO UNNECESSARY PUNCTURE DAMAGE FROM COMMON STREET DEBRIS ALLOWING DANGEROUS FREON GASES TO ESCAPE TO DAMAGE THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROVIDE GREAT FINANCIAL HARDSHIP TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. COMMON ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY MANY OF THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE OWNERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY HONDA AS WELL AS REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS AND PREVENTION STEPS TAKEN BY CONSUMERS TO PROTECT VEHICLES FROM FUTURE DAMAGE. MY HONDA HAD JUST EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AND NOW ALL THE FREON RELEASED UNNECESSARILY INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND WE ARE STUCK WITH A $1000 REPAIR AND THE VEHICLE IS THEN STILL EASILY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FUTURE DAMAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA FOR THIS SERIOUS ISSUE ENVIRONMENTALLY DAMAGE ISSUE CAUSED BY THEIR DESIGN FLAW WHICH EASILY EXPOSES THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER TO UNNECESSARY DAMAGE AND GREAT FINANCIAL HARDSHIP TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. *TR

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING AND THAT IT IS A KNOWN FAILURE IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHERE DO I START....ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED BRAND NEW. NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 3-4 YEARS, AND THEN: TRANSMISSION WHINE, TOOK IN TO DEALER OFF AND ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS, COULD NEVER IDENTIFY ISSUE, THEY SAID. BUT AS SOON AS THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED, MIRACULOUSLY, THEY IDENTIFIED IT, AND NOW SAY I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MOTOR MOUNTS FOUND TO HAVE CRACKED; PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON PER INTERNET FORUMS, BUT HONDA DEALERSHIP DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR DESIGN/FAULTY MOUNTS. DOOR FOR SECOND ROW HAS ISSUES SLIDING; ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM PER INTERNET BUT NOT PER DEALER. AND FINALLY, THE STRUTS FOR THE REAR HATCH BROKE, ALMOST INJURING MY SON VERY BADLY WHEN HE WAS PUTTING HIS BIKE IN THE BACK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND ASKED ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. I PAID $300 4 MONTHS AGO, AND JUST NOW FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL 3 YEARS AGO, AND THEY DENIED IT!!!!! I HATE HONDA AND WILL NEVER BUY THEIR CARS, AND DO NOT TRUST THE DEALERSHIP. UGHHH!!!! *TR

Jan 04, 2014

I HAVE VERY LOW MILEAGE AND THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT. ALSO THE REAR MAIN SEAL HAS BLOWN. THE MECHANIC SAYS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION IT AFFECT THE REAR SEAL.

I FILED A CLAIM AND WAS DENIED YET IT SEEMS THERE ARE ISSUES THAT ARE THE SAME AS OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN HELPED. *TR

I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT REQUIRED MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT AND AFTER RESEARCH, A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS APPARENTLY ISSUED BACK IN 2006 ON THIS ISSUE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE ON THE 2005 TIME FRAME ODYSSEYS. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED THRU HONDA VIA RECALL! *TR

AFTER THE THIRD ROW HAS BEEN FOLDED FLAT AND YOU ARE BRINGING IT BACK OUT TO MAKE IT A SEAT AGAIN, IT OFTEN WILL NOT LATCH WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO HELP GUIDE THE SEAT INTO THE PROPER PLACE. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WITH THE 2 SEAT SECTION AND NOT THE SINGLE SEAT SECTION (SINCE THEY FOLD 60/40). IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THE SEAT DID NOT LATCH, THEN IT CAN EASILY ROLL BACK AND TRY TO FOLD FLAT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SHOULD SOMEONE TRY TO CLIMB OVER IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT WHEN I SAW THAT A CHILD DIED BECAUSE OF IT, I WANTED TO REPORT IT.

WHEELS

4 complaints

THE STEEL WHEEL ON DRIVER SIDE FRONT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A MAJOR CRACK IN IT. UPON EXAMINATION BY HONDA OF WESTPORT, FETZER TIRE AND HANK MAY IT IS THEIR CONCLUSION THAT THE WHEEL HAS STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE WHEEL WAS PURCHASED AT HANK MAY IN STAMFORD CT., WHO GOT THE WHEELS FROM WHEEL FIX IT IN FREEPORT LONG ISLAND (WWW.WHEELFIXIT.COM/). THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUE OR RESPONSIBILITY RE: THE WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THESE WHEELS I HAVE LEARNED....NEVER DID 'FIT' THE ODYSSEY. THEY WERE MACHINE LATHED POORLY AND BOUNCED ON THE HUB SPOKES, CAUSING VIBRATION. AGAIN, WHEEL FIX IT DENIES ANY ISSUE WITH THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. I HAVE PHOTO'S OF THE CRACKED WHEEL WHICH I HAVE TAKEN OFF THE CAR, OF COURSE.

THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR OCCURRED IN JUNE 2010, WHEN VEHICLE WAS ONLY ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT, DENTS, OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE FUNCTION OF THE DOORS. SINCE THEN, BOTH PASSENGER AUTO SLIDING DOORS NOW HAVE TROUBLE CLOSING, AND WILL OFTEN CLOSE ON A PASSENGER, WITH THE PASSENGER'S BODY BEING THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES THE DOOR STOP CLOSING. SUMMARY: BOTH SLIDING DOORS EITHER DO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY (STOP SHORT AND HAVE TO BE RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES, OFTEN FORCED TO CLOSE); OR THEY CLOSE BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPENING AND SCARE OR SQUISH THE PASSENGER WHO IS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND WE FEAR THAT SOON THE DOORS WILL NOT STOP AND COMPLETELY CRUSH THE PERSON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, OR WE WILL HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR OPEN IF IT WILL NOT CLOSE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ABOUT 4-6 ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOORS AFTER EVERYONE IS IN THE CAR AND BELTED IN. MY FRIEND HAS THE SAME CAR AND SIMILAR ISSUE, SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS, PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION! *TR

THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS FOR A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. THE RIGHT PASSENGER ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR STOPPED WORKING WHEN THE ODOMETER READ 99722. AT THE TIME IT STOPPED WORKING, THE VAN WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WHEN THE BUTTON WAS PRESSED TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE DOOR REFUSED TO OPEN AND A LIGHT WENT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL "SLIDE DOOR". WHEN I CONSULTED THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL, IT SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I WAS REALLY SUSPICIOUS WITH THE SUDDEN FAILING OF THE DOOR BECAUSE UP UNTIL THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT, THE DOOR WAS WORKING FINE. THE WAY I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE WEATHER CONDITIONS IT WAS IN REMAINED THE SAME FROM WHEN THE ODOMETER READ 99700 UNTIL THE INCIDENT. WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ODYSSEY OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS MODEL YEARS 2005-2010 HAVE THESE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS PROBLEMS WITHOUT ANY CLEAR INDICATION OF ISSUES BEFOREHAND. MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE STATED OWNERS TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ONLY TO HAVE THE DEALER CHARGE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FAIL DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I VISITED A FORUM THAT OFFERED A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION STATED TO RESET THE INTERNAL COMPUTER BY PULLING A FUSE LABELED AS "BACK UP". I WAS SKEPTICAL OF THIS SOLUTION BECAUSE HONDA WOULDN'T DESIGN A VEHICLE THAT STATES AN ERROR WITH A DOOR UNLESS SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE DOOR, FOR EXAMPLE THE MOTOR. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE SLIDING DOOR FAILED, I GAVE IT A TRY AND RESET THE INTERNAL COMPUTER. I STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP AND NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THE ERROR WAS GONE WHICH MAKES SENSE SINCE THE COMPUTER WAS RESET. WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE PASSENGER ELECTRIC DOOR, THE DOOR OPENED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY HESITATION OF MOVEMENT. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION. IF HELP CAN BE GIVEN, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. *TR

IT IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT ABLE TO OPEN MANUALLY ALSO IN CASE ANY ACCIDENT WHICH MAY TAKE LIFE OF PERSON NOT ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE VAN.

WHEN THE DEER SAW MY HEADLIGHTS, HE RAN INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE BREAKING THE HEADLIGHT AND DENTING THE PANEL ABOVE THE TIRE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I GOT OUT TO CHECK THE DAMAGE AND REALIZED THE VAN WAS STILL DRIVABLE. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND DROVE SLOWLY LESS THAN 25 MILES PER HOUR. I THAN SAW FLAMES COMING FROM THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE BROKEN HEADLIGHT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE GRASS, TURNED OFF THE CAR, GOT OUT AND CALLED 911.

PULLED BACK THE LOOSE AND FLAPPING MOLDINGS AND NOTICED THAT THEY HAD SHOVED A RED SHOP TOWEL IN THE FENDER/WINDSHIELD AREA TO STOP THE NOISE. **IS THIS PROPER PROCEDURES IN THE REPAIR MANUEL** SHOVING RED SHOP RAGS IN THE FENDERS TO STOP WIND NOISE?? WHAT TO DO NOW - FENDER AND WINDSHIELD POST AND QUARTER NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED - I NOW HAVE LOST VALUE ON VEHICLE BECAUSE VEHICLE WILL BE PAINTED AND WINDSHIELD MOLDING IS HELD ON BY DUCK TAPE. --FYI, WINDSHIELD MOLDINGS ARE ONLY HELD IN WITH DOUBLE SIDED TAPE CLIPS - DOUBLE SIDED TAPE WILL ONLY HOLD FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, BEFORE THEY DETER ATE AND THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED..

I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODESSEY. I REQUESTED A MOON ROOF AS A HONDA OPTION. I WAS NOT TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT AN OPTION ON THE MODEL THAT I HAD SELECTED. I WAS GIVEN AN AFTER MARKET MOON ROOF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE AN OVER HEAD DVD PLAYER INSTALLED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE MAIN OVERHEAD BEAM WAS CUT TO INSTALL THE MOON ROOF AND THAT WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE BEAM WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE DVD PLAYER. I BEGAN TO QUESTION THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT WAS DONE TO INSTALL THE MOON ROOF AND I WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS AFTER MARKET. I ASKED THE DEALER AND HONDA TO CERTIFY THAT THE INSTALLATION WAS SAFE. THEY BOTH REFUSED. I HAVE SINCE EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN TURN OVER SITUATIONS. HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT THE INSTALLATION AND I WANT HONDA TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT HONDA BUT I WAS SOLD A HONDA VEHICLE WITH AN AFTER MARKET MOON ROOF. NOT ONLY THIS BUT I DON'T HAVE A HONDA WARRANTY ON THE MOONROOF. THE ONLY WARRANTY I HAVE IS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND I ALREADY HAVE 2 CHILDREN. THE MINIVAN IS A VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I DON'T THINK THE MINI VAN IS SAFE IN CASE OF A CRASH OR ROLL OVER. I SAY THIS BECAUSE IF THE BEAM IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD A DVD PLAYER THEN IN CASE OF A ROLL OVER OR CRASH THE ROOF WILL COME IN ON ME AND MY CHILDREN. *AK *BF *NM

I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAY AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THIS PROBLEM I HAD THE TIRES BALANCED TO ENSURE THAT THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE. MY SISTER-IN-LAW DROVE THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TO HER, SHE WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AT 65 MPH. I THEN STARTED TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM TO FIND MANY ARTICLES ON HOW THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT FAILS ON VEHICLES WITH AS LITTLE AS 50,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS A DRIVABILITY ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE FINE WITH A NEW MOTOR MOUNT AT THE TUNE OF $700. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD A MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WHEN THE MOUNT FAILS THE ENGINE DOES NOT JUST RISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BUT BEGINS TO VIBRATE WITH THE VEHICLES TIRES IN MOTION. *TR

I AM A MEMBER OF THE 05' HONDA ODYSSEY GROWLING CLUB. I STARTED HAVING A VIBRATION - GROWLING NOISE IN THE DRIVELINE @ 60 TO 70 MPH AND @ 2000 RPM. THIS STARTED 7 MONTHS AFTER OWNERSHIP AND 9900 MILES LATER. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED ON THE FORUMS THAT MAY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ITEM - I HAVE TAKEN INTO SHOP THREE TIMES AND BOTH DEALERSHIPS STATE THAT ALL THE NOISES ARE NORMAL. SOUND APPEARS TO GET LOUDER - IS THAT NORMAL?? *NM

AS I WAS DRIVING ALONE AROUND 30 MILES PER HOUR MY AIR CONDITION WAS BLOWING COLD AIR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE IT STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR AND I THOUGHT I MAY NEED SOME FREON, BUT SINCE IT WAS CLOSE TO THE END OF SUMMER LAST YEAR I FIGURED I COULD HOLD ON UNTIL SUMMER OF THIS YEAR.

REF: 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY ENGINEER COMPUTER MALFUNCTION ' DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE 2005 ODYSSEY TOURING MODEL 1) LET'S START WITH WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS ODYSSEY ENGINE COMPUTER, OR ENGINE WARNING LIGHT LAST THREE YEARS, TWO PROBLEMS SO FAR: A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR AFTER I GOT THIS ODYSSEY, THE YELLOW ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON. TOOK IT TO DIAMOND BAR HONDA, THEY JUST RESET THE LIGHT WITHOUT DOING ANY CHECKING; THEY TOLD ME THIS IS HONDA IMPOSED STANDARD PROCEDURE. ANOTHER FEW MONTHS WENT BY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME HONDA CARE FINALLY AUTHORIZED THE PART REPLACEMENT. 2) I THOUGHT THINGS WERE OK NOT UNTIL THE 'ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH BIG AMBER MESSAGE STATING 'INSPECT VSA' ALSO. I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE LIGHT WENT OFF. ON THE SECOND DAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT I-60, SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING, BOTH 'ENGINE' AND 'INSPECT VSA' CAME ON AGAIN. AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO LESS THAN 20 MPH WITH DID NOT RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL MY CAR TO RIGHT SIDE SHOULDER, ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS AND UN-SAFE. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THIS FROM DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND SLOWED TO <20 MPH IN FEW SECONDS!! HOWEVER, THIS IS NO LONGER 'HONDA DRAGGING YOUR FEET AND SAVE COST ISSUE'. THIS IS A SERIOUS PRODUCT SAFETY ISSUE NOW! WITH THIS LETTER, I AM OFFICIALLY PUTTING HONDA ON NOTICE ON THIS 'SERIOUSLY SAFETY PROBLEM / DEFECT'. I TOLD MY WIFE AND WILL INFORM MY ATTORNEY THAT IN CASE I GET REAR ENDED ON THE ROAD, THIS ENGINE STALLING WILL BE THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. *TW

MANAGED TO STOP THE VAN WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING, BUT IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN COMING THE OTHER WAY, NO WAY AN ACCIDENT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. PUT CAR IN PARK, TURNED KEY AND IT RESTARTED AND DROVE FINE. CALLED DEALER AND TOOK IT IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THERE WERE APPROX. 10 ERROR CODES RECORDED. THEY KEPT VAN FOR FOUR HOURS, ENDED UP SAYING IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND THEY REPLACED IT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THEY SAID PAPERWORK HAS TO BE SENT THROUGH WARRANTY AND WILL SEND ME A COPY WHEN IT COMES BACK. EXPLANATION DOESN'T FIT SITUATION. *NM

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH ABOUT 15 K MILES. IN JUNE WE NOTICED LOSS OF THE AC SYSTEM. UPON A VISIT TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT A ROCK/ROAD DEBRIS PUNCTURED THE AC CONDENSER AND THE REPAIR ESTIMATE RUNS ABOUT $ 700.00. IN A PROCESS OF CALLING 5 OTHER LOCAL HONDA DEALERS TRYING TO GET A BETTER PRICING, I LEARNED THAT MY CASE IS NOT THAT RARE AS IT MAY SOUND. I WAS TOLD THAT ON AVERAGE THEY REPLACE ABOUT 2-3 AC CONDENSERS A MONTH. THEN I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MUCH MORE ODYSSEY'S OWNER WITH IDENTICAL STORIES. MY ISSUE IS THAT 2005-2007 ODYSSEY HAS A DESIGN FLAW - TOO BIG OPENING UNDER THE BUMPER THAT ALLOWS ANY ROAD DEBRIS TO PENETRATE AC CONDENSER AND/OR RADIATOR. I AM FIRM BELIEVER THAT HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE 2008 ODYSSEY HAS A VERY NICE, FACTORY INSTALLED SCREEN MESH UNDER THE BUMPER WITHOUT ANY SIGNIFICANT BODY UPGRADES FOR THAT YEAR MODEL. I CALLED THE REGIONAL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER BUT THEY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT WORKING SO I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER THINKING A WARRANTY REPAIR. THEY TOLD ME A OBJECT HIT THE AIR CONDITIONER COIL IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT COST ME $720.35. THEY ADVISED ME TO ORDER A AFTERMARKET BILLITE GRILL FROM E BAY AND THIS WILL KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I DID AND THIS COST ME $104.00. I DID A SEARCH IN THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN ALL AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. SEEMS THERE IS POOR DESIGNING FOR THIS AREA OF THE VAN ALLOWING OBJECTS TO DAMAGE THE VEHICLE'S PARTS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER IT WAS WORKING. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO GET A INSPECTION STICKER. ALL GOOD. WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN STOPPED WORKING. I REALILIZED THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. IT FAILED IN THE COLD. I RAN THE HEATER IN THE CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR ON MAX HEAT. STILL NO GOOD. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE WALKING BY I PRESSED THE DOOR OPEN BUTTON ON THE KEY RING AND THEY WORKED , I JUMPED IN AND TRIED THE DIRECTIONALS, HIGH BEAM, RUNNING LIGHTS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS. A FEW DAYS LATER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPPED AND IT STOPPED WORKING. TODAY (MILDER WEATHER) I TRIED IT WASN'T WORKING. I TURNED ON THE HEAT TO HIGH AND THE HEATED SEATS AND LEFT RUNNING FOR AN HOUR. WHEN RETURNING I FOUND THE INTEMITTENT WIPERS WERE RUNNING AND SO WAS EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU WENT OUT IN THE DAY AND IT GOT COLD WHILE PARKED AND ISSUE CAME BACK ,YOU WOULD NOT HAVE RUNNING LIGHTS, HIGH BEAMS, AND NO DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS. I THINK THERE ARE OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ALSO DONT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND THE WEATHER IS NOW COLD. NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN.

IT MAY HAPPEN WHILE I AM RIDING OR WHEN SETTING THE GEAR TO PARK AND UNPLUGGING THE SEATBELT. CONSUMER REPORTS SHOWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DECLARED ON AIRBAGS BACK ON AUGUST 1, 2005 SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MAY, 2005. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON AIRBAGS. I WOULD STILL DRIVE THIS CAR AND BY THAT REASON DECIDED CONTACT NHTDS. 2) RUST ON THE BODY OF THE CAR ABOVE THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL IS GETTING DEEPER.

AFTER THE VAN HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 15-20 MINUTES THE POWER STEERING MAKES LOUD NOISE DURING TURNS AND WHEN PARKING, THE POWER STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN.

AFTER READING MANY ARTICLES ABOUT HONDA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS MINE. MY ONLY QUESTION TO NHTSA. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO MAKE HONDA BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. PERHAPS HONDA IS PAYING YOU OFF TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM EXIST. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS WANTING TO PURCHASE MY VAN. I DO NOT HAVE MY VAN LISTED FOR SELL OR HAVE I THOUGHT ABOUT SELLING IT. HOW IS IT THEY ARE ABLE TO GET MY ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER? THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT HONDA KNOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM EXIST. IF THEY CAN GET OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF FOR FALL FOR THERE GAME PLAN. THE DEALER IS GOING TO GET ISSUE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THEM. THEN SELL THE VAN FOR MUCH MORE THAN THEY ARE OFFERING ME. EVEN WHEN I TOLD THEM NO! THEY CONTINUED TO CALL ME ASKING IF I WOULD RECONSIDER THE OFFER OF SELLING THE VAN. IS THIS JUST COINCIDENCE OF A COVER UP BY HONDA OR THE DEMAND FOR THESE VANS IS HIGH.

WE ALSO EXPERIENCE HUMMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. IT LOOKS LIKE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE HAVE BEEN POSTED ON THE LINK BELOW HTTP://WWW.ODYSSEYTRANSMISSION.COM//PROBLEMCASES?MSGID=510. HONDA'S RESPONSE IS QUITE DISAPPOINTING ACKNOWLEDGING LACK OF OWNERSHIP CONCERNING THEIR PRODUCT; LEAVING THE CONSUMER HOLDING THE BAG. I FEEL LIKE WE'VE BEEN SOLD A BILL OF GOODS. WE THE CONSUMERS WOULD GRACIOUSLY APPRECIATE AN ADVOCATE WHO WILL HOLD GROSSLY LUCRATIVE COMPANIES LIKE HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND ACT IN GOOD FAITH ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER. YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IS MOST APPRECIATED.

HAVE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASED VAN NEW. FIRST PROBLEM AROUND "08 IS A VIBRATING-SHUDDERING FELT IN STEERING WHEEL. AT ABOUT 35- 45 MPH AND JUST BEFORE THE "ECONO" WOULD KICK IN, I WOULD FEEL THE VIBRATING START. IF I INCREASE MY SPEED QUICKLY AND GET ON UP TO ABOUT 50MPH, IT WOULD STOP. THOUGHT IT NEEDED A TUNE-UP..DID THAT-STILL VIBRATED. THOUGHT IT WAS TRANSMISSION-HAD IT FLUSHED-STILL VIBRATED. IT WASN'T A CONSTANT PROBLEM BACK IN "08, BUT IRRITATING.NOW IN 2013 IT IS MANY TIMES A DAY AND SHUDDERS VERY BADLY. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER TODAY ABOUT THE ESCALATED VIBRATIONS. TEST DROVE IT AND SAID VIBRATIONS WERE FROM TORQUE CONVERTER AND NEEDED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION.ALSO NEEDED TIMING BELT REPLACED. I DID'NT EXPECT TO HEAR TRANSMISSION-EXPECTED TO HEAR REAR MOTOR MOUNT(600.00) NEEDED REPLACING. I SPECIFICALLY TOOK MY VAN IN TO CHECK THE MOTOR MOUNT.WHEN HE SAID TORQUE CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION I ASKED HIM WHAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS LOOKED LIKE. HE SAID THE TECH DID'NT MENTION THAT .NO ONE LIKES TO HEAR THEY ARE ABOUT TO INCCUR SOME EXPENSIVE REPAIRS, BUT I DID'NT EXPECT TO HEAR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT 170,000 MILES.THE FELLOW AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT"HECK,THAT IS REALLY GOOD FOR THE 2005 ODYSSEY".OUR NISSAN TRUCK HAD OVER 300,000 MILES AND OUR DODGE DUELLY HAS OVER 200,000 MILES NEITHER WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES.SO, THIS ISSUE STILL REMAINS UNREPAIRED-WAITING ON ESTIMATE FROM DEALERSHIP. YIKES! THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR HAS NOT OPERATED CORRECTLY FOR 3-4 YEARS NOW. IT DOES'NT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. IF YOU OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR,WHEN YOU CLOSE IT ITWILL BEEP LIKE ITS NOT CLOSED.YOU HAVE TO GET OUT AND MANUALLY SLAM IT SHUT.

I FOUND AN ARTICLE TODAY ABOUT THE PENDING RECALL FOR 2007-2008 HONDA ODYSSEYS, AND IT DESCRIBED THE EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY ODYSSEY. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT TO STOP, OR EVEN TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO TURN. I CALLED HONDA THIS MORNING AND REPORTED IT, AND I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY ODYSSEY IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, HAVE THEM INSPECT IT, AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT. I FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM MUST BE IN MORE THAN JUST THE 2007-2008 MODELS, AND HONDA SHOULD EXPAND THE RECALL.

THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND FIRST AND THEN LOSS OF ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLES BRAKES. WONDERING IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS FIXED!?! DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS AND "EVERYTHING IS FINE" CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE BRAKES SEEM SOFT COMPARED TO THE LOANER THEY GAVE ME. PLEASE HELP, THIS IS ENDANGERING MY FAMILY! ALL RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN PERFORMED, NOTHING HAS HELPED THE BRAKES INCLUDING THE FIX A FEW YEARS AGO. DEALERSHIP EVEN TELLS ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING YET INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS IT IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS! IT OCCURS DURING WARM WEATHER ANYWHERE FROM 55 DEGREES UP. THE RESULT IS DRIVER LOOSES CONTROL FOR A FEW SECONDS, LONG ENOUGH TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, LUCKILY, I HAVE AVOIDED MANY OVER THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR.

2005 HONDA ODYSSEY '-THE SLIDING DOORS FELL OFF !!!!!!. I RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING DOORS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR NEWER MODELS AND THEY TOO HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. THE PROBLEMS RANGE FROM A GRINDING NOISE , AUTO DOORS NOT OPENING COMPLETELY THAN CLOSING. TO THE BACK OF THE DOOR SLIGHTLY OPENING THEN THE BEEPING INDICATOR IS CONSTANTLY ON WHILE DRIVING. THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED BECAUSE THE DOORS NEVER CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE CENTER ROLLERS ARE CHEAP PLASTIC WHICH I BELIEVE CAUSES THE GRINDING NOISE. ONCE THEY WEAR OUT IT GETS WORSE. THESE ARE NOT SOME ISOLATED COMPLAINTS!! THERE ARE TOO MANY OTHERS WITH EVERY YEAR OF THE ODYSSEY THAT HAVE THESE ISSUES !! AND NOW I FINALLY SEE A RECALL. ALL THESES ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED DURING DIFFERENT TIMES. SOME WHILE STATIONARY. SOME WHILE DRIVING. THE WORST ONE WHERE THE DOOR LITERALLY FELL OFF WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY. (THANK GOD) I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND RIGGED MY DOOR BUT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WHY WAS THIS NOT RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO?? THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS TO IGNORE THIS !! THE NEWER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM . I OWNED AN ACCORD FOR 14 YEARS OVER 300,000 MILES. THE BEST CAR I EVER HAD. THAN BOUGHT THIS 2005 ODYSSEY AND JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2018 CRV EX. IT'S WRONG THAT HONDA DOES NOT BACK UP THEIR REPUTATION.

WE HAVE OWNED OUT DARK BLUE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS. RECENTLY, I AM FINDING THAT THE PAINT ALONG THE ROOF AND SIDE/FRONT TRIM PANELS IS CHIPPING AWAY. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SAND SOME OF THE BED SPOTS AND PAINT /PROTECT AGAIN, BUT IT IS NO USE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITH THE BASE LAYER BELOW THE BLUE PAINT. I HAVE SEEN WHERE THIS WAS IDENTIFIED, BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS DEFECT THE SECOND AREA OF CONCERN IS IN THE WIRING FOR THE RADIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOOSE WIRE OR CONNECTION BEHIND THE PANELS. THE BACK-LIGHTS FOR THE RADIO AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL WILL TURN ON OR OFF WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION AS TO WHY. THE SYSTEMS THEMSELVES WORK FINE, IT'S ONLY THE VISIBLE LIGHTS THAT FLICKER, OR TURN OFF AND ON WITH NO PATTERN. MY FEAR IS THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT MAY CAUSE A FIRE IF THE CROSSING OF WIRES OR SHORTING CONTINUES. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING, SITTING STILL, CAR OFF (POWER ON), THERE IS NO COMMON FLAG OR TRIGGER THAT WOULD POINT TO A PROBLEM. AND ALL FUNCTIONS WORK (EVEN WHEN LIGHTS ARE OFF). ALSO, THE CAR JUST STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN ACCELERATION BETWEEN 55-65. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS MAY BE DUE TO FAULTY AXLES OR POSSIBLY THE TRANSMISSION, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE OPEN ISSUES WITH HONDA AND TO CHECK WITH YOU FIRST. *TR

I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING AS THERE WAS NO SAFE PLACE TO STOP. I DROVE SLOWLY WITHOUT POWER STEERING, THE CLUNKING CONTUNIED UNTIL SOMETHING BROKE FREE AND I NOTED IT'S LOCATION ON THE ROAD IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE PLACE WITHIN 30 MINS SO THE PART WAS STILL THERE. IT WAS A METAL RING WITH GROOVES ON THE OUTSIDE, LOOKED LIKE A BELT WENT ON IT. I GOT IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE HARMONIC BALANCER WAS GONE AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOOSING STEERING IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BY HONDA.

HONDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENGINE MOUNTS BRAKING AND THIS SEEMS TO BE OK WITH THEM. THIS IS NOT OK. THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAILURE.

DURING ACCELERATION, AND PARTICULARLY WHILE TURNING AND ACCELERATING (E.G. LEFT HAND TURNS FROM A STOP LIGHT), THE VSA INDICATOR (TRIANGLE WITH EXCLAMATION POINT) WILL FLASH REPEATEDLY AND THE VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE (NOT NECESSARILY BRAKE) UNTIL IT REACHES THE STANDARD IDLE SPEED OR UNTIL THE WHEELS STRAIGHTEN OUT AND THE VSA INDICATOR STOPS FLASHING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE EXPOSED IN INTERSECTIONS WITH UNEXPECTED INABILITIES TO ACCELERATE OUT OF AN INTERSECTION.

THIS EQUIPMENT IS ALREADY PROVEN FAULTY IN SIMILAR HONDA MODELS (ODYSSEY 2007-2008) AND RECALLED. HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 ALSO NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO SPEND A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THIS. *JS

ODYSSEY HAD GREAT VIBRATION THROUGH STEERING WHEEL AND THROUGH BODY OF CAR. VIBRATION VARIED DEPENDING ON SPEED. THIS COULD OF CAUSED A TRAGIC ACCIDENT.

THE VEHICLE ENGINE IS SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING. THERE HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 6 INSTANCES OF THE VEHICLE BEING OPERATED AND THEN THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IN REVERSE. THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INCIDENTS AT LOW SPEED, WHILE MAKING TURNS, AND 2 INCIDENTS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED (ONE AT 40 MPH AND ONE AT 70 MPH). THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS BUT THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES SENT TO THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT ON 3/6/2011 WAS WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WE REFERRED THE SERVICE WRITER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 05V132000 AND 07V097000 BUT HE WAS UNWILLING TO CONSIDER THAT OUR ISSUE WAS RELATED TO EITHER OF THESE PREVIOUSLY NOTED FAILURES.

THE MICHELIN PAX TIRE SYSTEM: HONDA USED THIS PAX SYSTEM ON TOURING VERSIONS OF THE ODYSSEY MINI VAN IN 2005 (AND BEYOND BUT MINE IS A 2005). THESE TIRES WEAR EXTREMELY FAST AND UNEVENLY. THEY ARE EITHER AN EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN OR ARE DEFECTIVE. REPLACEMENTS CAN ONLY BE FOUND AT HONDA DEALERS. THIS IS MOSTLY AN ANNOYANCE AND ENDS UP COSTING THE OWNER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS MORE OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT MAY LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES IN THE EVENT THE AVERAGE OWNER DOESN'T THINK TO CHECK THEIR TIRES AS FREQUENTLY AT A RATE THAT WOULD CATCH A PROBLEM. *TR

IT WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER THE NOISE AND SHAKING CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE HAD RUN FLAT TIRES, SO IF THE TIRES BECAME FLAT THE CONSUMER COULD DRIVE UP TO 50 MILES, HOWEVER WHEN THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A FLAT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE NEEDED ANOTHER CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

WE FIRST NOTICED A SEVERE VIBRATION IN OUR CAR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH. TOOK HONDA ODY TO DEALER TO HAVE THEM REVIEW. SUGGESTED WE ROTATE AND BALANCE TIRES (AS WE HAVE DONE WITH NEARLY EACH OIL CHANGE). CAR HAD 20K MILES. WE DID AS SUGGESTED BUT VIBRATION CONTINUED. WE DROVE THE CAR TO SOUTH FLORIDA (8 HOURS OF DRIVING) AND THE VIBRATION SEEMED TO WORSEN. WENT TO DIFFERENT LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY SUGGESTED ANOTHER BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT. WE SAID OK (ANOTHER $150) AND THEY SAID THEIR TECH DROVE IT AND IT WAS GONE. GREAT - TOOK THE CAR HOME AND EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN ON MY TEST LOOP HOME. CALLED SECOND DEALER AGAIN WHO TOOK CAR IN. FIRST THEY LOOKED AT THE PAX SYSTEM AND SAID WE NEED NEW TIRES AND THAT SHOULD FIX IT. THEY THEN PUT NEW TIRES ON FROM A NEW ODY ON THEIR LOT. DID NOT RESOLVE IT. NOW THEY FEEL IT IS THE FRONT AXLES THAT ARE DEFECTIVE AND STILL HAVE THE CAR. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEMS BUT NOT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM OTHER CONSUMERS OF THE 2005 HONDA ODY... I FEEL ALL THIS WILL RECUR. SO, TWO PROBLEMS. THE PAX SYSTEM TOUTED FOR SAFETY AND LONGEVITY HAS ALMOST BALD SIDE EDGES OF EACH TIRE AT 22K MILES NOW. IS THIS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY? NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THEM FOR $1K. SECOND ISSUE IS FAULTY AXLES THAT ARE WORN AT 22K MILES. WOW. SEEMS TO BE SOME SERIOUS SAFETY AND DESIGN DEFECTS IN THIS $40K VEHICLE THAT WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED ON A $20K CAR. *JB

AFTER 5000 ROAD TRIP, RETURNED TO DEALER TO ALIGN AGAIN(AGAIN REDUCING TIRE PRESSURE). SIX MONTHS LATER WAS STILL EXPERIENCING PULL, BUT NOW ACCOMPANIED BY PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING VIBRATION. DEALER ROTATED AND CROSS SWITCHED TIRES (ONCE AGAIN REDUCING TIRE PRESSURE). PROBLEM SEEMED SOLVED. MIDWAY THOUGH NEXT 5000 MILE ROAD TRIP VIBRATION AND PULL STARTED TO RECUR, GROWING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TRIP WAS CONCLUDED. NOW AT 26000 MILES BOTH FRONT TIRES HAVE SUBSTANTIAL WEAR AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE CAR ONCE MORE NEEDS TO BE ALIGNED. *JB

HELLO - I HAVE A 2005 ODYSSEY THAT MIGHT HAVE AND OTHERS MIGHT HAVE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. A WHILE BACK I FOUND A LOOSE BOLT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR AND ANOTHER BOLT THAT WAS NOT TIGHTENED AT THE FACTORY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS QUALITY CONTROL BREAKDOWN. WHILE MY PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED, SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES AND IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AS A RESULT OF REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO FIX MY VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS ALSO THAT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE FOUND SIX OTHER VEHICLES WITH LOOSE BOLTS IN THE CAR. IF SOMEONE IS IN A POSITION TO DO THIS, WHAT ELSE WOULD THIS PERSON POTENTIALLY HAVE DONE TO THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS. THIS MAKES ME WONDER IF SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY WAS DOING THIS AS A JOKE OR IF THERE ARE OTHER POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO THIS FINDING. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE DVD/NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THE REAR CAMERA OFTEN STAYS ON WHILE MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS QUITE A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. I HAVE BEEN WORKING THESE ISSUES WITH HONDA CUSTOMER CARE FOR THE LAST 5 WEEKS WITH NO PROGRESS. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FIVE TIMES TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT. I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHILE IT WAS IN HAVING THE DVD/NAV PROBLEM LOOKED AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FIXED (FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE), THREE ADDITIONAL RECALLS WERE FOUND. ALSO, THE REAR VIEW MIRROR COULD NOT BE FIXED AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. HAD TO BRING IT BACK IN THE FOLLOWING DAY SINCE IT WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY (HAD WIND NOISE). THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED. I AM NOW ON VACATION AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS STOPPED WORKING. THE PROBLEMS THAT CONTINUE TO MOUNT UP ON THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME QUESTION ITS OVERALL SAFETY AND ROAD WORTHINESS. *JB

PARKING BRAKE

1 complaint

BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF HONDA ODYSSEY. WE LEASED A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM HONDA WEST IN LAS VEGAS ON THE 21ST OF JUNE 2005. THIS IS 2005 MODEL. THE VIN # IS: [XXX] IN A WEEK, WE FOUND A DEFECTIVE BRAKE THAT WAS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM TO STOP THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY INFORMED THE DEALER AND IT APPEARED THEY DID NOT PAY THAT MUCH ATTENTION. I MYSELF WAS VERY CONFUSED AS I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT HONDA MAKES ONE OF THE SAFEST CARS IN THE WORLD. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND SHE IS A 1ST YEAR RESIDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, LAS VEGAS, NV. AFTER WORKING SHE WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO HOME AND SHE TRIED TO STOP THE CAR AT RED LIGHT AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP. SHE RAN RED LIGHT AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD A DISASTROUS ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. SO, SHE WENT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY WERE NOT POLITE AND WERE NOT IN A POSITION TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, SHE FORCED THEM TO LOOK INTO IT AND AFTER TWO DAYS OF INVESTIGATION THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKE WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AT THE MANUFACTURING PLANT. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO HAS THE SIMILAR KIND OF PROBLEM, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WILL NOT ACCELERATE BUT WHEN TRYING TO PUSH THE BRAKE WILL ACCELERATE. WE HAVE ALREADY INFORMED AMERICAN HONDA AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY WILL NOT LISTEN.THE CAR IS STILL WITH THE DEALER. AS A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN OF THE COUNTRY I FEEL OBLIGATED TO LET YOU KNOW THE SAFETY ISSUE OF HONDA. IT IS IRONIC THAT THE AMERICAN CAR MANUFACTURERS EASILY ADMIT THEIR SAFETY PROBLEM WHEREAS THE JAPANESE MAKERS WILL NOT ADMIT SUCH BECAUSE OF BUSINESS ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS: WHICH ONE SHOULD COME FIRST THE SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS OR THE MONEY? I WILL HIGHLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT A DISASTROUS ACCIDENT ELSE WHERE IN THE COUNTRY. I HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS TO EITHER DIE OR INJURED BEFORE THE INVESTIGATION STARTS. SINCERELY, [XXX] *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L IN DECEMBER 2004, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE INCIDENTS IN WHICH THE BRAKES MAKE A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE WITH MEDIUM HARD BRAKING. THE GRINDING HAS NOT RESULTED IN ANY APPARENT LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY OR LOSS OF CONTROL HOWEVER THIS IS A CONCERN TO ME SINCE I DRIVE WITH A 5 YEAR OLD IN MY CARE. I TOOK THE ODYSSEY TO THE SERVICE CENTER IN MAY O5 FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED THE ROTORS. AGAIN THIS MONTH (JULY) I NOTICED THE PROBLEM AGAIN, I TOOK IT IN TWO DAYS AGO AND HONDA REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM SAYING THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. THEY TELL US THAT THEY WON'T HAVE THE PARTS IN UNTIL THEN. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE AVOIDING THE FIXING THE PROBLEM AS TO AVOID THE LEMON LAW SINCE THIS IS THEIR SECOND TIME FIXING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES BEFORE THIS SUCH AS BROKEN CD PLAYER....SLOW DRAINING OF BATTERY, AND PROBLEMS WITH DVD AND VEHICLE INTERIOR. OVERALL I AM VERY CONCERERNED WHEN MY CAR IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND THIS COMPANY REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM.....I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BUT DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR A RENTAL UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
