2000 Honda Odyssey complaints

REAR DOOR LATCH WILL NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT THE LATCH BE REPLACED DUE TO A WORN PART.*AK

THE FACTORY JACK COLLAPSED WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS CHANGING A TIRE. THE JACK COULD NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE VAN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITION INFORMATION. *NLM

LIGHT ON CLOCK NOT WORKING CAN NOT READ CLOCK--I AM CONCERNED THERE MAY BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SINCE THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE PANEL OFF TO FIX WANT CHARGE WAY TO MUCH TO FIX A LIGHT. PROBLEM 2 THE REAR WINDSHIELD MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN ON. *LA

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY LX MANUAL SLIDING DOORS "STICKING" PROBLEM SOLUTION: A) AFTER ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR, AND IT ONLY "POPS OPEN" SLIGHTLY AND STICKS; B) FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, PUSH OUTWARD ON THE UPPER CORNER (OF THE SLIDING DOOR) WHICH IS CLOSEST TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IT SHOULD PUSH OUTWARD EASILY, AND THE DOOR SHOULD SLIDE OPEN FREELY. C) APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE UPPER REAR CORNER OF THE WEATHER STRIPPING RUBBER: TRY SILICON GREASE, OR SILICON SPRAY LUBRICANT, OR GRAPHITE POWDER, OR TALCUM POWDER. PROBLEM SOLVED. NO MORE STICKING WHEN RE-OPENING THE PREVIOUSLY STUCK DOOR. ITS PROBABLY THE PHYSICS OF THE PRESSURE OF THE DOOR AGAINST THE RUBBER CREATING SUFFICIENT FRICTION TO PREVENT THE DOOR FROM "POPPING" COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE RUBBER WEATHER STRIPPING AND THUS PREVENTING THE DOOR FROM SLIDING OPEN. *LA

REAR HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP IS OUT AND INSTRUMENT INDICATOR FAILS TO LIGHT INDICATING BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT. *LA

REPEATED ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE. NO EXPLAINABLE CAUSE. VEHICLE IS NOT 3.5 YEARS OLD.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY LX. THE CUP HOLDER IN THE REAR SEAT DOES NOT HOLD THE CUP PROPERLY AND OFTEN FALLS OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED BEVERAGE SPILL ON THE PERSONS IN THE CAR AT THAT TIME. AT LEAST TWO OF THE SPILLS WERE FROM HOT BEVERAGE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY SAY THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL. INTERESTINGLY THEY HAVE CHANGED THE CUP HOLDERS IN THEIR NEWER MODELS. *LA

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIBRATION AT ANY SPEED WHILE DRIVING. DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING. *AK

REAR SLIDING DOORS STICK AND WILL NOT OPEN. DEALER HAS GREASED THE SEALS MANY TIMES. THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM SOR ONLY A SHORT TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS PASSENGERS IN THE REAR CANNOT GET OUT IF THE DOORS ARE STUCK. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *NLM

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. ON AUGUST 2ND, I WAS PUMPING GAS AT A GAS STATION ON THE NORTH SIDE. THE GAS NOZZLE WAS IN THE GAS TANK. THE SLIDING AUTOMATIC DOOR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO COME OPEN WHEN GAS IS BEING PUMPED, HOWEVER IT DID. I TRIED TO STOP THE DOOR, BUT COULDN'T, ENDED UP CUTTING MY HAND, THE DOOR JAMMED, THE PUMP WAS STUCK, GAS CAP HOLDER CAME UNDONE AND COULDN'T GET THE GAS DOOR SHUT. MY PAINT IS SCRATCHED ON THE GAS DOOR AND THE GAS DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED WITH THE GAS LEVER RELEASE BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR. AN ATTENDANT AT THE STATION CAME TO HELP, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SEVERE FIRE HAZARD.*AK

WITHOUT USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER SYSTEM THE TUBE THAT EXTRACTS THE WASHER FLUID EXTENDS OUTWARD. THIS ALLOWS ANY FLUID TO ENTER THROUGH THE WASHER TUBE INCLUDING RAIN. THAT DRAINAGE ENTERS THE VEHICLE COMPARTMENT.*AK

PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ON 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY.*MR POWER LOCKS, CRUISE CONTROL, AND POWER DOORS. *CB

HONDA ODYSSEY PURCHASED IN 2000 HAS HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWICE. CURRENTLY IN LITIGATION WITH HONDA INC WITH NJ LEMON LAW. SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH HONDA REPS (TO INCLUDE ARBITRATION) HAVE RESULTED IN NO SATISFACTION. I CANNOT DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE FOR ANY OF MY TRANSPORTATION NEEDS DUE TO CONTINUING PROBLEMS AND SAFETY CONCERNS.*AK

WHEN DRIVING FROM VA TO MI, GOING THROUGH MOUNTAINS OF PA, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 3RD. AS I PROCEEDED DOWN LONG STEEP MOUNTAIN GRADES, BUT ONLY AFTER I TOUCH THE BRAKES JUST A BIT. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT 3 TIMES. THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. THEN I FIGURED IT WAS AN INGENIOUS DESIGN IN KEEPING THE CAR WITHIN A REASONABLE SPEED. ONCE I REACHED LEVEL GROUND AND PUT MY FOOT GENTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR UPSHIFTED TO 4TH AND OVERDRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS YET. YET! ADVICE: DRIVE IN 3RD GEAR WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN. ONLY PUT GEAR SHIFT INTO 4TH WHEN YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE DRIVING AT 50+ MPH FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I TOO HAVE HEARD THE CLATTERING IN THE ENGINE BAY WHEN THE ENGINE RUNS AT ABOUT 1500-1700 RPMS, SO I KEEP IT IN 3RD GEAR UNLESS I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 32000 MILES ON 2000 ODYSSEY AND NO PROBLEMS YET. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. FIRST OWNER BOUGHT 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FROM WARRANTY DIRECT UPON PURCHASE BACK IN 2000, WHICH WAS TRANSFERABLE TO ME WHEN I BOUGHT IT JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS 2002. *PH

AUTOMATIC DOORS FAIL. THE DOOR COULD NOT BE CLOSED COMPLETELY. THIS IS THE SECOND DOOR TO FAIL. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFECT AND TOLD ME THE WOULDN'T FIX THE SECOND DOOR UNTIL IT FAILED. IT DID SO WHILE I WAS 100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION LEAKED FLUID EXCESSIVELY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *NLM *TS *JB

HAVE A 2000 IMPORTED CANADIAN ODYSSEY EX. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON 54000 MILES, TOOK TO THE DEALER, GOT FIXED. FROM THE NEXT DAY THE ACCELERATOIN DROPPED AND STARTED HEARING NOISE/VIBRATION WHEN THE TRANS SHIFTS FROM 1 TO 2. CALLED AMERICAN HONDA, THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT DO, SINCE ITS A CANADIAN VEHICLE. CALLED CANADIAN HONDA, THEY SAID THE WARRANTY IS GOOD ONLY IF ITS WITHIN CANADA. HONDA WHICH IS SUCH A BIG COMPANY, SHOULD NOT PLAY SUCH CHEAP TACTICS WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. I AM STILL TRYING TO GET SOME ANSWER FROM HONDA.

HAD THE DOOR LATCH BREAK ON RIGHT SIDE AND WAS REPAIRED. THEN HAVE ON GOING ISSUES OF TRYING TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOORS. AT TIMES YOU COULD NOT OPEN EITHER SLIDER DOORS WITH OUT TRYING TO GET TO RELEASE BY PULLING ON IT WHICH YOU HAD TO OPEN THE OTHER DOOR AND EITHER TRY PULL IT OR PUSHING ON THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. HUSBAND CAME HOME THEN FORGOT HE HAD TO BE VERY GENTLE WITH DOOR OR THAT COULD NOT BELIEVE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN THEN BROKE THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR HANDLE OFF. NOW IT HAS NO HANDLE AT ALL. CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID. HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WHEN TO HAVE IT REPAIR SAID DOOR LATCH WOULD BE COVERED. THEN WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS A DESIGN FAULT (WELL KNOW) IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. SINCE THEN I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND IM THE PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD COVER THE LABOR COST AND NOT THE PART COST. AFTER REVIEWING HOW MANY TIMES SOME ONE HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO FILE IT HERE. CONCERN WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. AS IT STANDS NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT THE FACT THE SIDE DOORS DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY, IF SOMETHING HAPPENED WERE MY CHILDREN WOULD HAVE TO EXIT THE VAN QUICKLY. DID CALL HONDA TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WAS TOLD IT MAY TAKE 3 DAYS. *NLM

THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR DID NOT OPEN WHEN THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE. *JB

TRANSMISSION HESITATED GEAR 1 TO 2 AND SHIFTED HARD GEAR 2 TO 3. TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH USED TRANSMISSION BY DEALER. COVERED UNDER 3RD PARTY WARRANTY SUPPLIED BY DEALER. *NLM

THE VEHICLES SLIDING DOORS MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE DOOR NOT TO OPEN FROM INSIDE AND SOMETIMES NOT TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND REPAIRED THE PROBLEM BUT IT RE-OCCURRED. *NLM

WHILE ACCELERATING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. *NLM

THE VEHICLES SLIDING DOOR WAS STUCK WHICH RESULTED IN THE DOOR HANDLE BREAKING. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *NLM

THERE WAS A SLIGHT OIL LEAK AT THE JOINT OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION AND THE SEALS WERE REPLACED. WHEN PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN, THE CONSUMER HEARD A CLANKING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE COLUMN, ALSO THERE WAS A SQUEAK COMING FORM THE REAR SUSPENSION, THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE A LEAK FROM THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER.*TS *JB

PROBLEMS WITH PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR SINCE VEHICLE PURCHASE. DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, BUZZER WILL SOUND. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE DOOR MAY/MAY NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES (5+) WITH REPLACEMENT OF DOOR CLOSER MOTOR, RE-ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENTS. DOOR NOW NEARING END OF WARRANTY PERIOD AND IS COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. AMERICAN HONDA CONTACTED. CONSIDER THIS A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BY MFR. *NLM

THE SLIDING DOORS BECAME STUCK. *JB

THE TRANSMISSION CONTAINED A BEARING FLAW WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SPONTANEOUSLY DOWN SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 2ND GEAR, THIS PROBLEM ALSO CAUSED A SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE TRANSMISSION. *TS *JB

2000 HONDA ODY TRANS HAS FAILED FOR 3RD TIME. ORIGINAL WENT BAD AT 75K. COMPLAINED ABOUT IT 1ST AT 34K. DEALER SAID FOUND NO PROBS. NOW AT 75K WE ARE ON 3RD REBUILT TRANS TO BE PUT IN NEXT WEEK. 1ST 2 REBUILT ONES DIDN'T LAST 10 MILES BEFORE SAME LOUD CLUNK IN REVERSE STARTED AGAIN. HONDA NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO REPLACE THIS PROBLEM WITH NEW TRANS, NOT REBUILT ONE, AND 3/36 WARRANTY. I DIDN'T PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR A CAR TO HAVE A 3 REBUILT TRANS BY 75K. IT IS APPARENT THAT REBUILTS AREN'T ANY BETTER THAN ORIGINAL TRANS. THE 100K EXTENSION OF WARRANTY IS USELESS. HONDA CALLS IT 'GOODWILL'. SOUNDS MORE LIKE WILLINGFUL NEGLECT & FRAUD. LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS FILED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ALREADY.

REFUND FOR TRANSMISSION. *DT

THE TRANSMISSION BLEW. DEALER NOTIFIED. PH

THROTTLE STICKS WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE. THE VAN WILL ACCELERATE AFTER APPLYING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE, BUT IT IS NOT A SMOOTH ACCELERATION. RESULT IS GOING FROM 0 MPH TO 20 MPH WITHOUT GRADUAL ACCELERATION. THROTTLE HAS BEEN CLEANED IN THE PAST, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO WORSEN. DEALER RECOMMENDS COMPLETE BREAK DOWN OF THROTTLE WITH BUTTERFLY VALVE BEING CLEANED.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD OPEN. THE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PH

AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL WHEN HANDLE IS USED. MUST OPEN FROM INSIDE OR VIA REMOTE. DOORS MAKE BUZZING SOUND INTERMITTENTLY ADVISING THAT DOORS ARE AJAR EVEN WHEN CLOSED CONTACT PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, YET PROBLEM CONTINUES. SOMETIMES DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE FULLY. IT CLOSES, ATTEMPTS TO LATCH AND THEN RE-OPENS PARTIALLY. OTHER SLIDING DOOR HAS SIMILAR ISSUES TO A LESSER EXTENT. LOTS OF OTHER DIVERSE ISSUES.

2000 HONDAY ODYSSEY W/40,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS PLUGGED AND WOULD OVERHEAT. TWO WEEKS LATER THE PART CAME IN AND THEY THEN ADVISED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSORS WERE ALSO BAD. ARE THESE UNDER EMISSION WARRANTY?

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. MANY HONDA MECHANICS HAVE INPUT TO THIS PROBLEM. CHECK CODE INDICATES THAT THE SOLENOID BYPASS AND THE TWO WAY VALVE WITHIN THE EMISSION SYSTEM HAVE GONE BAD. WE WERE BEING BLAMED FOR OVERFILLING THE GAS TANK. WE DO NOT DO THIS. FINALLY MECHANICS FIND ANOTHED CHECK CODE INDICATING THE FUEL FILLER NECK HAS A VACUUM LEAK. ONCE THEY REPLACED FILLER NECK, NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED. DEALERSHIP WAS VANN YORK HONDA IN HIGH POINT NC.

WHILE TRYING TO PULL VEHICLE INTO REVERSE IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *NLM. *AK

AFTER THE SLIDING DOORS WERE CLOSED, THE DOOR CHIME WOULD SOUND OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS DID NOT LATCH AND THE DOORS WOULD UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING. PH SCC
