THE 2 SLIDING DOORS OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THE DOOR CLOSES AND LATCHES BUT BECOMES UNLATCHED WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ONLINE. WHEN WE CONTACT HONDA THEY SAY IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY WON'T FIX IT WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE MY VAN IS OUT OF WARRANTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THERE IS RUST OVER THE REAR WHEELS ON BOTH SIDES. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON ALMOST EVERY SINGLE SIMILAR HONDA ODYSSEY, SAME MODEL AS THE 2006 MODEL I OWN. THE RUST IS ON THE BODY PANELS IMMEDIATELY OVER THE REAR WHEELS, ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDES. THIS HAS HAPPENED GRADUALLY, AND OCCURS ON NO OTHER PART OF THE VEHICLE, SO IT IS A QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE.

THIS VAN HAS BEEN A FRUSTRATING NIGHTMARE. BESIDES THE PAX SYSTEM TIRE ISSUES, WE HAVE HAD TO FIX BOTH SLIDING DOORS BECAUSE THEY FELL OFF. LAST SUMMER THE DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE, THEN IT FELL OFF THE TRACK WHILE I WAS OUT SHOPPING WITH MY KIDS. MY HUSBAND CAME WITH SOME TOOLS AND HELPED TO GET IT CLOSED SO WE COULD TAKE IT TO THE AUTO SHOP. IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE FIX NOT TO MENTION THE DAMAGE TO THE EXTERIOR. YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS AT THE LIBRARY WITH FOUR OF MY CHILDREN ( 8,6,3, AND A BABY) THE OTHER DOOR CAME OFF THE TRACK. THIS TIME, MY HUSBAND WAS NOT AROUND TO COME HELP US ( HE IS DEPLOYED SERVING IN AFGHANISTAN). WE HAD TO GET THE VAN TOWED, AND THE DOOR STAYED OPEN ALL NIGHT BECAUSE THE SHOP WAS CLOSED. WHILE THERE, ONE OF THE MEN WORKING SAID HE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS ODYSSEY. LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BECAUSE A PIECE WAS MADE WITH NYLON ( TO REDUCE NOISE) WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE WITH STEEL. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE HARDWARE ON THIS. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THESE, INSTEAD OF LEAVING THE BURDEN TO REST ON THE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASED THESE PIECES OF JUNK. WHAT A FRUSTRATING SITUATION!

THE SUB-FRAME, RR ASSEMBLY GOT SO SEVERELY CORRODED THAT IT HAS CRACKS AND FRACTURES AND NOW THERE IS A SMALL HOLE IN IT WHICH IS DEEMED AS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WE CAN'T EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE COST TO REPAIR IT IS MORE THAN HALF MY VEHICLE VALUE AT THIS POINT. WHAT IS PRETTY INTERESTING IS THAT THE HONDA DEALERS DON'T STOCK THE PART (50300-SHJ-A01) AND CAN'T REALLY SAY IF OR WHEN THEY CAN GET THE PART. MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THEM HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE NEVER ORDERED THIS PART BEFORE, WHICH LEADS ME TO ASSUME THAT THIS COULD NOT BE A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FAILURE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY WILL NOT RELY ON A 3RD PARTY (MY TRUSTED & REPUTED LOCAL MECHANIC) OPINION AND WOULD LIKE ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE, MOST LIKELY TOW IT, TO THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE AND GET IT DIAGNOSED AT MY EXPENSE, WHICH MY MECHANIC HAS ALREADY DONE. THAT SEEMS UNREASONABLE TO ME. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER? THIS HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR WAS IN FOR AN OIL SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN HAPPENED TO NOTICE THE CRACK IN THE PART. THE REFERENCE NUMBER OF MY CONVERSATION WITH HONDA IS: 05223162

HONDA HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PAINT ON AT LEAST A DOZEN DIFFERENT MODELS AND YEARS...EXCEPT MINE. THE PAINT ON MY HOOD AND ROOF STARTED CHIPPING AND PEELING AWAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND NOW IT'S SPREAD TO MANY OF THE FENDER SEAMS, AS WELL AS SEAMS AND JOINTS ON THE ROOF. WHILE IT'S "ONLY PAINT"...WE ALL KNOW THAT RUST LEADS TO STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUES, HOLES AND CAN ALLOW WATER AND ELEMENTS IN TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE. SO, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A "VISUAL" ISSUE. I'D LIKE HONDA TO ADDRESS THIS FOR OUR CAR.

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WENT UP IN FLAME, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ON 10/11/14. INSURANCE HAD ME TOW IT TO THE HONDA DEALER. AFTER HONDA HAVING THE CAR FOR 31 DAYS THE INSURANCE PAID THE REPAIRS & I PAID MY $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I'M READY TO DRIVE MY HONDA ODYSSEY AWAY ON 11/13/14, AND I NOTICE THE VAN BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE RPM'S DROPPED TO ALMOST 0. NO REPORT WAS GIVEN TO ME ABOUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH VAN & WHAT FUTURE REPAIRS HAD TO BE DONE. ALL I GOT WAS THE PRESENT REPAIRS DUE TO THE FIRE, EVEN AFTER WE HAD ASKED THEM TO DO A FULL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE FIRE THE VAN NEVER SHOOK, IT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. WHILE THERE, THEY PERFORMED THE CHANGING OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED BY HONDA, BUT NOW WE CAN NOT BE SURE THAT IT WAS DONE NOR CAN WE BE SURE THAT IT DIDN'T AFFECT THE CARS STATUS NOW. HONDA STILL HAS THE VAN IN THEIR LOT & INSURANCE ADJUSTER WENT TO SEE THE CAR AND NOW HONDA IS SAYING THAT THE SHAKING OF THE CAR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S FINAL REPORT THE "PROBABLE" CAUSE OF FIRE WAS IN THE ALTERNATOR AREA -SUB-CORD ALTERNATOR TO FUSE BOX. HONDA SAID THE SHAKE IS CAUSED BY THE RUBBER MOTOR MOUNTS. I TRIED TO TELL HONDA THEY ARE RUBBER PIECES AND WHEN RUBBER COMES IN CONTACT WITH HEAT IT MELTS. HONDA WILL NOT FIX WITHOUT ME PAYING OUT OF POCKET. IF THE PROBLEM REALLY IS THE MOTOR MOUNTS, I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE AWAITING A RECALL FROM HONDA ON THE MOTOR MOUNTS FOR THE FACT THAT THEIRS PREMATURELY FAILS. HONDA HAS US ON A BACK AND FOURTH. IF THEY CAN'T BE SURE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AND ARE DISREGARDING THE MOTOR MOUNTS GOING BAD DUE TO THE FIRE OR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL, THEN HOW CAN THEY BE SURE THAT NONE OF THE ABOVE IS NOT CAUSING THE VIOLENT SHAKE ON THE VAN.

MY 2006 ODYSSEY WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER 2ND ROW BY A VEHICLE THAT RAN A STOP SIGN AND SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE 2ND ROW PASSENGER SIDE. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE ODYSSEY TO SPIN AND WAS PUSHED AT LEAST 20 FEET BEFORE BEING STOPPED BY THE CURB. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SHE SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES- NO ONE WAS IN THE 2ND ROW THANKFULLY. WHEN I VIEWED THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, AFTER INQUIRING FURTHER TO VERIFY THIS ASSUMPTION, I DISCOVERED THAT NO AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THIS. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND DID NOT. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A MALFUNCTION, AND I AM INFORMING YOU OF IT AS SUCH. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY BECAUSE A SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY WHEN VEHICLE IS HIT HARD AND DIRECTLY ON ITS SIDE. I WAS LEFT WITH THE THOUGHT OF WHY DO THEY EVEN INSTALL THESE IF IT DOES NOT DEPLOY IN THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT. I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES WHICH SUBSTANTIATE THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT AND DAMAGE SUSTAINED. THANK YOU.

VAN HAS MANUAL SLIDING DOORS. UPON SHUTTING PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NORMALLY THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR. CHILD SAFETY LOCK WAS OFF. LOCK MECHANISM WORKS NORMALLY BUT DOOR LATCH WILL NOT DISENGAGE. SIX MONTHS LATER AT 172000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE RESULTING IN A SEVEN PASSENGER VEHICLE WITH NO EGRESS FOR PASSENGERS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. UPON REMOVAL OF INTERIOR DOOR PANELS IT IS CLEAR THERE IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE LATCH MECHANISM. ALL CABLES AND CONTROLS WORK NORMALLY BUT THE LATCHES HAVE FAILED.

WHEN I WAS ON VACATION WITH MY FAMILY, THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. IT WOULD CLOSE PARTLY, BEGIN BEEPING AND REOPEN. WE HAD TO KEEP PRESSING THE CONTROL TO CLOSE THE DOOR UNTIL IT FINALLY CLOSED. TWO DAYS BEFORE THAT, THE LIFTGATE STRUTS FAILED. THAT IS DISTURBING WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW MY DAUGHTER WAS HELPING ME GET ITEMS OUT OF THE BACK. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIRDLY, THE PAINT IS STRIPPING OFF ON PARTS OF THE BODY. CONSIDERING THE REPUTATION THAT HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE, IT IS UPSETTING TO HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH AN 8 YEAR OLD VEHICLE! NOW WE MUST DECIDE IF IT'S WORTH FIXING AND KEEPING OR TRADE IT IN FOR A TOYOTA. IN LOOKING AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BUT ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED. HOW SERIOUSLY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE HURT BEFORE SOMEONE PAYS ATTENTION?

HAVE HAD TWO HONDA ODYSSEYS (ONE NEW 2008 AND ONE USED 2006). BOTH HAD ISSUES WITH THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR AUTOMATED SLIDING DOORS. THE NEW VAN HAD THIS PROBLEM MUCH LESS THAN THE OLDER ONE, BUT BOTH HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES COME AND GO SPORADICALLY AND SOMETIMES NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO THE SHOP TO BE FIXED. THE DOOR USUALLY SHUTS, BUT THEN POPS OPEN JUST ENOUGH THAT IT IS NOT FULLY CLOSED. SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS JUST "OUR LUCK" BUT AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I REALIZED THAT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS WELL KNOWN ON THE WEB. IN OUR FAMILIES CASE, I CAN SAY THAT THE INCIDENCES WERE NOT RELATED TO ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO "BREAK" THE DOOR. I FEEL THAT IF INDEED THIS COULD BE LABELED AS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE THAT THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS A WIDESPREAD PERMANENT "FIX" FROM HONDA.

WHEN WE TOOK DELIVERY OF OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY ON JANUARY 21, 2014 THE RIGHT HAND DOOR WAS NOT OPENING/CLOSING PROPERLY. THE SALES PERSONNEL SAID THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE WEATHER RELATED AND TO GIVE IT SOME TIME AND THAT IF IT CONTINUED TO NOT WORK PROPERLY THEN TO BRING THE VAN BACK AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. WE HAD JUST UNDERGONE AN ICE STORM HERE IN MICHIGAN, IN DECEMBER 2013, AND HAD UNUSUALLY COLD TEMPERATURES WHICH STAYED UNTIL EARLY MARCH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AFTER THE WEATHER HAD WARMED A BIT AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE DOOR AND THEY SAID THAT THE VAN WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THAT THEY WOULD WORK ON IT AS A GOOD FAITH GESTURE. THE VAN WAS TAKEN IN AND THE CENTER ROLLER ASSEMBLY OF THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS REPLACED. THE DOOR WORKED PROPERLY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN STARTED TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE SYMPTOMS THE DOOR WAS EXHIBITING WERE THAT OF A FAILED RELEASE ACTUATOR. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE 3RD GENERATION HONDA ODYSSEY VANS AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER REGARDING THIS ISSUE THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNLESS I WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. THEY HAD EVEN NOTED IT IN THE VAN'S SERVICE RECORD THAT THE RELEASE ACTUATOR MIGHT HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT ELECTED NOT TO DO IT AT THE TIME THEY REPLACED THE CENTER ROLLER BECAUSE THE VAN'S DOOR TESTED OK.

POWER TAILGATE OPENED AND CAME RIGHT DOWN HITTING MY WIFE. SHE WAS NOT HURT. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE HONDA WE WERE TOLD THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT WOULD MAKE THE TAILGATE GO BACK UP IF IT CAME DOWN ON A PERSON OR OBJECT. WHICH IS WHAT IT HAS DONE IN THE PAST. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER HONDA OF SUMNER AT 7:30 AM ON 8/12/2013 TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. WE TOOK IT INTO TODAY AND A GUY ( NOT A SERVICE GUY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.)

THE STRUTS ON THE LIFTGATE OF MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY LX COMPLETELY FAILED IN NOVEMBER 2011 AT AROUND 40,000 MILES. THANKFULLY, THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS OPENING IT, SO NO ONE WAS UNDERNEATH IT YET. THE LIFTGATE IS EXTREMELY HEAVY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY, ESPECIALLY TO A SMALL PERSON. WE REPLACED THE STRUTS WITH NEW HONDA PARTS PURCHASED FROM THE SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOW APRIL 2013, NOT EVEN A YEAR AND HALF LATER, AND THE REPLACEMENT STRUTS HAVE ALSO FAILED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAVE NO ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO FROM HERE OTHER THAN REPLACE THE STRUTS WITH THE SAME PART THAT HAS FAILED TWICE NOW. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. GIVEN THE TRACK RECORD OF THE LIFTGATE STRUTS FOR THIS MODEL, I THINK IT'S PRETTY LIKELY THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, AND I FEAR THAT I OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY MAY SUFFER SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE. OTHER MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE PRESSURIZED GAS LEAKS FROM THE STRUTS. I THINK THE 2006 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND A RECALL IS IN ORDER. THESE STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH ONES THAT DON'T LEAK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

TRYING TO CLOSE THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR, IT WOULD CLOSE HALF-WAY, START BEEPING AND OPEN UP AGAIN. IT WOULD DO THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, UNTIL IT FINALLY CLOSED SEVERAL TRIES LATER. TURNING THE AUTOMATIC FUNCTION OFF WOULD NOT HELP. WHEN PUTTING IT ON MANUAL FUNCTION, THE DOOR WOULD JAM AND LITERALLY NOT BUDGE. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THE LAST TIME WE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR, IT ENDED UP REMAINING OPEN FOR THE ENTIRE DAY BECAUSE IT WAS LITERALLY JAMMED IN THE OPEN POSITION. THANKFULLY IT WAS IN OUR DRIVEWAY! WE HAVEN'T OPENED IT SINCE. MOVING FORWARD TO LAST MONTH, NOVEMBER 2012. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR STARTED SQUEAKING UPON OPENING AND CLOSING. A WEEK LATER, IT TOO WAS REFUSING TO SHUT. THIS TIME I WAS AT A GROCERY STORE AND ENDED UP STRANDED IN THE PARKING LOT WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD FOR OVER AN HOUR BEFORE I COULD FINALLY GET THE DOOR TO SHUT. IT IS WINTER AND THUS, VERY COLD THESE DAYS. I AM NOW HAVING TO LOAD MY KIDS IN THE VAN FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OR THROUGH THE TRUNK. I DON'T DARE OPEN EITHER AUTOMATIC DOOR. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE SEEN THIS EXACT SCENARIO WITH TOO MANY OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, DEPENDING ON WHERE PEOPLE ARE WHEN THE DOORS REFUSE TO CLOSE. NOT TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL INSURANCE LIABILITY IF THE DOORS REFUSE TO CLOSE AND ONE IS LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THEIR VEHICLE WIDE OPEN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME.

BASED ON A REPORT TODAY THAT HONDA IS RECALLING 2003/2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WHERE THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE IGNITION INTERLOCK, A DEVICE INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE KEY CAN ONLY BE REMOVED WHEN A VEHICLE IS FIRMLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AND HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE IN 2010 WHERE AFTER PARKING AND REMOVING MY KEYS AND I GOT DOWN, THE VAN MOVED BACKWARDS AND THE MY FRONT DOOR HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE PARKING LOT DAMAGING BOTH CARS, AND I HAD TO FILE A CLAIM WITH UNITRIN DIRECT. THE RESULT BEING I HAVE A FAULT ACCIDENT RECORD ON MY LICENSE AND MY INSURANCE WENT UP FOR NO FAULT OF MINE. I THINK HONDA SHOULD RECALL EVEN THE 2006 MODEL AND PAY ME BACK FROM MY REPAIRS AND EXTRA INSURANCE PAYMENTS THAT I HAVE PAID AND WORK WITH DMV/UNITRIN TO REMOVE THE FAULT ACCIDENT RECORD THAT I HAVE ON MY LICENSE.

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO DISENGAGE THE LOCK. HAD TO TAKE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND REPLACED THE LATCH. SINCE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN THEY HAD TO DO THIS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ON 9/1/2012 THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR ALSO FAILED TO DISENGAGE THE LOCK. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS REPAIRED YET. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES WE WERE PARKED, BUT IF IT HAD BEEN AN EMERGENCY VALUABLE TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN WASTED IN TRYING TO GET A NON-FUNCTIONING DOOR TO OPEN.

THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP TO TURN IT ON MANUAL SO WE COULD DRIVE IT WITH OUT HEARING THE DOOR ALARM. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE ONE MANUAL. WHILE DRIVING YOU COULD HEAR THE DOOR TRYING TO LATCH AUTO EVEN WHEN IT WAS SET TO MANUAL. WHEN I WAS TURNING A CORNER THE DRIVERSIDE PASSENGER DOOR POPPED OPEN AND SLID ALL THE WAY OPEN. WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR LAST YEAR AND THE DEALERSHIP ENDED UP REPLACING THE LATCH ON THAT DOOR BUT THE DOOR NEVER OPENED ALL THE WAY. I WOULD HAVE THOUGH THERE WOULD BE A SAFETY MECHANISM IN PLACE ON THOSE DOORS TO PREVENT IT FROM OPENING WHILE DRIVING BUT I WAS WRONG.

THE POWER LIFT GATE FELL DOWN ON ME; LUCKILY NO ONE WAS DIRECTLY UNDER IT WHEN IT FELL. IT HAPPENED INSTANTLY; WHEN I OPENED IT UP, IT CRASHED DOWN THE FIRST TIME. UPON FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO OPEN IT, IT WOULD SLOWLY OPEN AND THEN JERK AND THEN GO BACK DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY OPEN BY ITSELF. THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE CENTER INSPECTED IT AND SAID THE STRUTS HAD GONE OUT ON IT AND REPLACED THEM BOTH. ACCORDING TO NEWS FEB 21, 2012, HONDA ODYSSEYS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN MARCH 2012; MY 2006 MODEL HAS DONE THE SAME THING THE NEWS ARTICLES REPORT.

IN THE SUMMER OF 2009, MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY DEVELOPED A STRONG, FOUL ODOR FOR WHICH NO SOURCE COULD BE FOUND. I VACUUMED THE CARPET, LEFT CONTAINERS OF BAKING SODA INSIDE, AND EVEN THREW AWAY THE RUBBER FLOOR MATS, THINKING THEY HAD DETERIORATED IN THE SUMMER HEAT. THE ODOR DID NOT GO AWAY. (THE CAR HAD BEEN GARAGE-KEPT UNTIL AROUND THAT TIME.) IN 2010, WHEN TAKING THE CAR FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM. HE WANTED TO REPLACE THE CABIN AIR FILTER, WHICH I HAD ALREADY DONE MYSELF. IN SEPTEMBER, 2011, AFTER HURRICANE IRENE, THE TAILGATE HATCH WOULD SLOSH AND SPILL WATER WHEN OPENED. THIS PAST WEEK, I WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR ON AN EXTENDED TRIP. WHEN I WENT TO LIFT THE REAR SEATS, WHICH HAD BEEN FOLDED INTO THE CARGO AREA, TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE SEATS WERE COVERED IN MOLD AND RUST AND WERE DRIPPING WITH WATER. THE CARGO AREA CARPETING WAS SATURATED. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST NOVEMBER, 2010. BESIDES THE HEATH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPOSURE TO INHALING MOLD, THE RUST MAY HAVE COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE HARDWARE SECURING THE SEATS TO THE FLOOR, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE LEATHER OF THE SEATS.

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L VAN. I NOW HAVE 101,000 MILES ON IT BUT EVER SINCE 48,000 MILES, I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. IT STARTED WITH THE BUZZER GOING OFF AS THOUGH WE HAD NOT SHUT THE DOOR. THE INTERIOR LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON AND OFF AND IT SHOWED THE DOOR WAS OPEN ON THE DASH. WE TRIED SHUTTING IT MANUALLY AND WITH THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH TO NO AVAIL. WE FOLLOWED A PROTOCOL OFF THE INTERNET THAT INVOLVED SEVERAL STEPS THAT GOT IT TO STOP BUT AT RANDOM TIMES IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAD A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INVOLVED AT GREAT COST. THE DEALER FINALLY TOLD ME THERE IS A SWITCH ON THE DASH TO TURN OFF THE BUZZER BUT THE DOOR DOES NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY. THE BACK OF THE DOOR STICKS OUT A BIT AND MAKES IT SO IT WON'T LOCK. TWO OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VAN AND HAD IT FIXED AT GREAT COST. GIVEN THAT THE DOOR IS NOT ALL THE WAY CLOSED, IT CONCERNS ME TO NO END WHEN I HAVE PASSENGERS ON THAT SIDE. THE INDOOR LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AS WELL. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON SEVERAL BLOGS. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS SHOULD BE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO HONDA BUT THEY HAVE BEEN ALOOF ABOUT FIXING IT AND DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE.

I BROUGHT MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY INTO THE DEALER FOR A BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RECALL. UNBEKNOWNST TO ME I WAS INFORMED THAT 2 MOTOR MOUNTS ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $1350. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE ODYSSEY AND NOT PART OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE. AN ONLINE SEARCH REVEALS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VAN ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SITUATION. I THOUGHT HONDA WAS KNOWN FOR SAFETY BUT IT APPEARS IT HAS ALSO EARNED THE REPUTATION FOR DEFECTIVE MOTOR MOUNTS. AT WHAT POINT WILL HONDA BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT JEOPARDIZES THE SAFETY OF ITS RIDERS? MY VAN HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES AND IS JUST OVER THE 5 YEAR MARK, SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AS LONG AS HONDA IS ALLOWED TO DEFER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR TO ITS OWNERS IT WILL. HOPEFULLY IT WON'T TAKE SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION IS TAKEN. ITS PRETTY OBVIOUS A RECALL IS LONG OVERDUE.

IF THE FAILURE OCCURS WHEN THE GATE IS OPEN, SOMEONE MAY BE INJURED. HOWEVER, I DID BUMP MY HEAD WHEN I PUT A POST TO HOLD THE GATE WHILE REMOVING ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE. I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE POST AND THE GATE FELL AND HIT MY HEAD. THE KEY POINT IS THAT HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE STRUTS WITH A HEAVIER DUTY PARTS SO NO ONE WILL GET HURT.

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EXCESSIVE VIBRATION FROM ENGINE WHEN AT IDLE AND ESPECIALLY WHEN ECO MODE ENGAGED OR DURING SLOW ACCELERATION. HONDA DEALER STATES THE CAUSE TO BE A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT WHICH IS A SPECIAL DESIGN AND COSTS OVER $500 - $600. THE VAN HAS ONLY 80000 MILES BUT THAT PUTS IT PAST WARRANTY. SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 06-083 FOR A MORE DETAILED REPORT FROM HONDA. THE REASON I BRING THIS TO YOU IS THE MANY WEB SIGHT BLOGS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND HONDA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO HELP WITH COSTS AND OR REPLACEMENTS. THIS COULD BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMEONE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THEM AND IF THE MOUNTS DESIGN IS AT FAULT, SIMPLE REPLACEMENT WILL ONLY RESULT IN FUTURE FAILURES. IF THIS ISSUE IS ALLOWED TO PERSIST FOR TOO LONG THE OTHER MOUNTS BEGIN TO FAIL AND THE MOTOR DROPPING OUT BECOMES A REAL POSSIBILITY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY HONDA AND A REDESIGN OF THE MOUNT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

FAILURE OF THE LIFT GATE GAS STRUTS ON A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING THAT CAUSES THE GATE TO CLOSE UNEXPECTEDLY. CONSEQUENCES WERE AN ADULT MALE BEING HIT IN THE BACK BY THE LIFT GATE. IN THIS INSTANCE NO SERIOUS INJURY HAD OCCURRED, BUT IF THE PERSON IN THE PATH OF THE LIFT GATE WERE SMALLER THE WEIGHT AND MOMENTUM OF THE GATE COULD EASILY CAUSE HEAD AND NECK INJURIES. I WOULD ASSUME MOST OWNERS OF THIS MINIVAN HAVE CHILDREN AND THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A CHILD IN THE PATH OF A FAILING LIFT GATE WOULD SUSTAIN SERIOUS INJURY. THE LIFT GATE GAS STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS OFFERED A RECALL FOR THIS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES, BUT HAS NOT YET OFFERED ANY CORRECTION FOR THE VEHICLE WE OWN.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. THE METAL HINGES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR DO A TERRIBLE JOB AT KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN. I MAKE SURE THAT THE DOOR IS IN THE DETENTE POSITION. IT DOESN'T MATTER. A SLIGHT GUST OF WIND OR IF THE CAR IS ON AN INCLINE, THE DOORS WILL SLAM SHUT ON THEIR OWN. ITT SMASHED & BROKE A BONE IN MY LEFT HAND. IT SLAMMED CLOSE ON MY SHINS BEFORE THAT MANY TIMES. I AM FRIGHTENED FOR FEAR OF SEVERE INJURY TO SOME BODY PART BEING SLAMMED INTO THE DOOR OF GUESTS AND BEING SUED. I MAKE A POINT TO HAVE MY WHOLE BODY LEANING ON THE DOOR IF IT NEEDS TO STAY OPEN FOR SOME PURPOSE NOW. THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ANOTHER CAR THAT I WAS AFRAID THE FRONT DOOR WOULD SLAM SHUT ON ME - WITHOUT WARNING - BEFORE THIS.

DRIVER WAS SWITCHING LANE ON A FREEWAY. THE SIGNAL DID NOT WORK. ON THE SAME DAY, THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER SLIDING DOOR AND KEYLESS ENTRY DID NOT WORK TOO. AFTER TAKING IT TO HONDA, ACCORDING TO THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN ON 11/12/08, THEY CLAIMED IT IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND B-CAN DTC AFTER EXPOSURE TO THE WATER LEAKS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN CLAIMED WATER ENTER WHERE THE CONNECTOR C701 BEHIND THE LEFT REAR SIDE TRIM PANEL. THE CORRECTION ACTION IS SEAL THE PWR SLIDING DOOR PULLEY MOUNT, REPOSITION THE FOAM BLOCK, DRY CONNECTOR C701, AND APPLY DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE CONNECTOR. IF THE ISSUE OCCURS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY, A GOODWILL CONSIDERATION WOULD BE OFFER BUT NEEDS TO BE REQUESTED. I END UP PAYING HALF WHICH I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR BECAUSE: 1) I PARK MY VAN IN MY GARAGE 2) MY VAN IS 4 YRS OLD AND IS ONLY 37K YOUNG, 3) I LIVE IS A RELATIVELY DRY CLIMATE, IN CA FOR THESE REASONS, MY CAR IS INDOOR 95% AND SPENDS 98% OF ITS TIME IN DRY CLIMATE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS A DEFECT AND DOES CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IMPACTS TURNING SIGNALS. ANOTHER REASON WHY I THINK IT IS UNFAIR IS THE DAY I GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 5 DAYS, IT WAS WORKING WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND THEN BY THE TIME I GOT HOME, IT WASN'T WORKING. I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG AND I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE IDENTIFY A ROOT CAUSE.

THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE 36 MONTH/36000 MILE WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY, MY WIFE DID NOT TELL ME OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL A WEEK AFTER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY EXPIRED. HONDA SHOWS THE PART NUMBER FOR THIS LIFT CYLINDER AS 74820-SHJ-A61. THIS PART NUMBER WAS USED ON 2005-2008 VEHICLES. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AT FIRST WAS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING. AFTER I INSISTED HE CALL HONDA, HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN PROGRESS. HOWEVER, SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT CURRENTLY A PART OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE BEST HONDA WOULD DO WAS PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IF I PAID THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LABOR. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM, BUT ARE UNWILLING TO EXPAND THE RECALL. INSTEAD, THEY ARE TRYING TO FIX THE LARGER PROBLEM ON THE CHEAP. AND THEN, ONLY IF THEY ARE CALLED TO TASK ABOUT IT. IT IS CLEAR TO ME, THAT AS TIME GOES ON, THE 2006, 2007, AND 2008 VEHICLES WILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE GET THIS RECALL EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2006-2008 VEHICLES, AS WELL AS THE 2005 VEHICLES. IT IS THE SAME PART NUMBER FOR ALL VEHICLES, 2005-2008.

THE VAN IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN WITH THE SLIDING DOOR OPEN. THIS FIRST HAPPEN AT ONLY 29K MILES AND CONTINUED TO HAPPEN PERIODICALLY UNTIL I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP (THAT WAS ABLE TO FIX IT) SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW OF THE "CENTER ROLLER" FOR THE SLIDING DOOR. THIS IS A PART LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE DOOR ATTACHING IT TO THE VAN'S BODY. THERE ARE TWO PLASTIC ROUND PARTS THAT ACT LIKE BALL BEARING ROLLERS, AND THEY BECOME OUT OF PLACE CAUSING THE DOOR'S ALIGNMENT TO BE OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DOOR NOT TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSON SAID IF HONDA SPENT $8 MORE ON MAKING THESE ROUND PARTS METAL INSTEAD OF PLASTIC, THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. THE REST OF THE CENTER ROLLER PART IS MADE OF METAL. HE SAID THAT ONE ODYSSEY A WEEK COMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM OF THE DOOR NOT BEING ABLE TO CLOSE DUE TO THE CENTER ROLLER.

AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE VEHICLE I DISCOVERED A PLASTIC SHROUD COVERING THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS RIPPED LOOSE. FURTHERMORE, IT IS CONTINUOUS WITH THE FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY WHICH WAS CRACKED. SURPRISED AT HOW EASILY THE DAMAGE OCCURRED, I MEASURED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PAVEMENT AND THE UNDER SURFACE OF THE PLASTIC SHROUD TO BE JUST 5 1/2 INCHES. I FEEL THE GROUND CLEARANCE OF THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS ANY MINOR ROAD DEBRIS OR UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE TRAIN AND FRONT END ASSEMBLY.
