2005 Honda Odyssey complaints

CONDENSER PROBLEMS.. IN HOT JUNE - THE FIRST DAY THAT TEMPERATURES WERE ALMOST 100 DEGREES WE EXPERIENCE OUR FIRST SET OF MANY PROBLEM WITH THIS VAN. WE HAD OWNED VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS AND ONLY PUT 2700 MILES ON IT. WE HAD EXPERIENCE A CONDENSER EXPLOSION. WE WERE SITTING @ STOP LIGHT AND I HEARD A POP AND STEAM ROLLED ALL AROUND VEHICLE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT CONDENSER HAD A BAD SPOT IN IT AND WOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. BEFORE IT WAS DECLARED THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY - WE KEEP BEING THREATEN BY SERVICE WRITER IF IT'S NOT WARRANTY RELATED THAT I WOULD OWE CHECKOUT FEES, WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO FIX IT AND THE COMPLETE RENTAL BILL. APPEARS THAT FRONT BUMPER AND CONDENSER DESIGN WAS NOT THOUGHT OUT. I AGREE WITH THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT A GRILLE OR A MESH AREA SHOULD COVER THE LARGE OPENING. FYI, WE WERE TOLD, BY DEALERSHIP, THAT MOST OF THE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY - BUT OURS APPEARED TO HAVE A WEAK SPOT IN THE CONDENSER. *NM

2005 HONDA ODYSSEY: GROANING AND GRINDING NOISE WHEN BREAKING ESP WHEN DRIVEN FOR A LONG TRIP. BREAK STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASE. COMPLAINED TO HONDA BUT HONDA SAID ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN BREAKING AND NOT STOPPING IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *NM

MY BRAKE FLUID IS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT CALIPERS OF MY BRAND NEW VAN. HONDA HAS REPLACED THE PADS TWICE AND THE CALIPERS ONCE ALREADY. I HAD TO ADD OVER A PINT OF FLUID TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF - IT IS NOW LEAKING OUT AGAIN. IS THIS NOT A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE? I GET LITTLE CONCERN FROM MY DEALER OTHER THAN A REMARK TO BRING THE THING BACK IN AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH NO EXPLANATION OR PERMANENT FIX. *JB

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY (14500 MILES) AT 60 MPH ON A SMOOTH DRY HIGHWAY WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPLODED. THE TIRE SEPARATED INTO THREE PARTS, LEFT AND RIGHT SIDEWALL AND TREAD. THE TIRE WAS A MICHELIN ENERGY LX4 235-65-16, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON THE ODYSSEY. INFLATION PRESSURE WAS NORMAL, HAVING BEEN CHECKED TWO DAYS EARLIER. TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65 DEG. THERE WERE FOUR WOMEN WITH THEIR WEEKEND LUGGAGE ON BOARD, CERTAINLY WEIGHING LESS THAN THE RATED LOAD OF THE VEHICLE AND THE TIRES. SINCE SHE WAS 200 MILES FROM HOME, SHE HAD TO BUY ANOTHER TIRE (OFF BRAND) AT THE NEAREST TIRE SHOP. THE FAILED TIRE WAS LATER TAKEN TO DISCOUNT TIRE IN LAKE WORTH, TX FOR REPLACEMENT WITH A CORRECT TIRE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60MPH THE VEHICLE RAN OVER ROAD DEBRIS. A SHORT TIME LATER THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR ERROR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE FRONTAL DRIVER SIDE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS MISSING.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR MOVES AND RATTLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THEY REPLACED THE DOOR TRIM, WINDOW REGULATOR AND ADJUSTED THE DOOR HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

THE BRAKE MAKES AN LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN EVER IT GETS HOT OR WHENEVER I COME DOWN HILLS. IT HAS HAPPENED A LOT OF TIMES AND I AM NOT SIRE IF THE WILL BE A LOSS OF BRAKING POWER OR SOMETHING. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES WAS NOT A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT, BUT AN ONGOING ISSUE THE MANUFACTURER ATTEMPTED TO REDESIGN. THE MANUFACTURER HAS A NEWLY REDESIGNED BRAKE PAD, BUT IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR THE NEWLY MANUFACTURED VEHICLES THEREFORE NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS WERE MADE. UPDATED 03/17/06. *JB

MOST RECENT ON 1/7/2006 WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND COMPLETE FAILURE. PUMPED 2 OR 3 TIMES AND BRAKES WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 OTHER TIMES, ALWAYS AT A SLOW SPEED, USUALLY WHILE APPROACHING A TURN, TWICE WHILE PULLING UP TO OUR DRIVEWAY. PUMPING BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES BRINGS FULL BRAKING POWER BACK. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR A DAY AND A HALF. AST. SERVICE MANAGER CLAIMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN NO OTHER COMPLAINTS OF FAILURES KNOWN TO HIM. *NM

BRAKE FAILURE. CAR SENT IN FOR REPAIR IN AUGUST 2005 (DEALER GAVE A HANDOUT EXPLAINING WHY BRAKES WERE NOT A PROBLEM), SEPTEMBER 2005 (DEALER REPLACED BRAKES), BRAKES FAILED JANUARY 17, 2006. MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *JB

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT DEALER REFUSES TO REMEDY THE ISSUE AS THEY ARE STATING A REMEDY IS BEING SUPPLIED BY HONDA WITHOUT COMMITMENT AS TO WHEN IT WILL BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS VIBRATION IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES MADE A BAD NOISE. THE NOISE BECOME MORE FREQUENT WITH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS CAUSING GROOVES IN THE ROTORS. THE NOISE CAME FROM THE BRAKE PADS. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT REDESIGNED THE PADS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE. *AK

2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND ABOVE, LOUD WHISTLING SOUND IS HEARD IN THE VAN. NOISE IS UNBEARABLE AND DISTRACTING ON LONG DRIVE. THIS IS SERIOUS ISSUE DISTRACTING DRIVER'S ATTENTION WHILE ON LONG DRIVE. HONDA DEALERSHIP HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THIS. AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RESOLVE THIS ASAP. *JB

2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX - DRIVING AROUND 45 - 55 MPH, THERE IS A LOUD VIBRATION/GRINDING IS FELT. REPORT PROBLEM TO DEALER - THEY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS COMPLAIN FROM OTHER VAN OWNERS BUT NO SOLUTION. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. BOTH FRONT AXLES BROKE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE AXLES WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT NO COST TO THE CONTACT. *AK UPDATED 12/07/05. *JB

DRIVING A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY, DOWN A 2-LANE COUNTRY ROAD AT NIGHT IN NOVEMBER, A DEER WAS IN THE FIELD. I SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE DEER WOULD DO AND THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS GOING TO PASS ME COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION. 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. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME, THE VAN WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD AND THE FLAMES WERE HITTING THE GRASS. THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE POPPED UNDER THE HEAT OF THE FLAMES. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VAN A TOTAL LOSS. INFORMATION FROM INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THE COMPUTER BEHIND THE HALOGEN LIGHT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. *JB

DURING MODERATE BRAKING, THERE IS A CLANGING NOISE FROM THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE TO HONDA FOR THE 2005 ODYSSEY, BUT WAS DEEMED NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BY INTERNAL ENGINEERS. THEY ARE PENDING A SOLUTION. HOWEVER, ON TWO OCCASIONS, MOST RECENTLY ON 11/6/05, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD, AND THE LOUD NOISE OCCURRED ON THE FROM RIGHT BRAKE, ASSOCIATED WITH SWERVING OF THAT SIDE. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT BRAKE IS NOT FUNCTIONING OPTIMALLY. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE SWERVING. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT STAYED ON. SHE RECEIVED A NHTSA RECALL 05V344000 CONCERNING THE AIR BAG SENSOR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE AIR BAG SENSOR, BUT THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. *AK UPDATED 12/11/2005. A HOLE IN THE UNDER SIDE OF THE BUMPER ALLOWED SMALL ROCKS AND PEDDLES IN THE BUMPER. THE WEATHER STRIPPING ON THE REAR DOORS IS PULLING AWAY AND BENDING OUTWARD. *NM

I PURCHASED 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VEHICLE ON MAY 31, 2005. BY AUGUST THE VAN HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES HAD STARTED MAKING SCRAPING NOISES. IT SOUNDED AS IF THERE IS SAND OR DIRT ON THE BRAKE PADS. ALSO, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE USED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP THE FRONT BRAKES WOULD GRIND. IT WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, BY 5000 MILES IT HAD BECOME A REGULARITY WHILE BRAKING. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS WORKING ON A SOLUTION. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING TO DATE. *NM

DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD HAS WAVES THROUGHOUT CAUSING VISUAL IMPAIRMENT WHILE DRIVING. WAVES ARE VERY PROMINENT ON THE PASSANGER SIDE, BUT LESS OF AN ISSUE BEING THAT THEY ARE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. ONE PROMINENT WAVE THROUGH DRIVER'S SIDE CAUSES HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS DUE TO OPTICAL EFFECT. TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP WHO ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED A REPLACEMENT SAYING THAT THEY ARE ALL DEFECTIVE, SO THERE WOULD BE NO IMPROVEMENT.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND A TWO INCH CUT ON THE SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK NEAR THE TOP. THE FUEL TANK WAS PLASTIC. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT APPEARED SHE HAD HIT SOMETHING WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *AK

WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES FAIRLY HARD (BUT NOT SLAMMING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR), THE FRONT BRAKES SOUND LIKE THEY ARE GRINDING. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALER TWICE WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID THEY HEAR THIS COMPLAINT REGULARLY AND ARE WAITING ON HONDA TO ADDRESS IT. THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *NM

THE PIECE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO GET THE WATER TO GO OFF THE TOP OF THE VAN INSTEAD OF THE SIDE WINDOWS, IS BAD. MY DEALER SAID THAT THE MAKER KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY YET. DUE TO THE BAD PIECES, THE WINDSHIELD WHISTLES ONCE YOU HIT 45 MPH OR HIGHER. I AM TAKING IT IN NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. IN ADDITION TO BEING DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY RESALE VALUE WHEN THE TIME COMES, IF A PROSPECTIVE OWNER TEST DRIVES IT AND HEARS THAT SOUND. VERY FRUSTRATED AND CAN'T FIND ON THE INTERNET ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPT SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD OTHERS WITH MY VAN THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, SO I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHY IT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED ON A BROADER SCALE BY THE COMPANY. *JB

WE BOUGHT HONDA 2005 ODYSSEY LAST JUNE. ON OCT 4, WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS GOING 40 MPH WHEN SOMEONE IN A FORD F250 PULLED OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME WITH THE SPEED OF 15 MPH (ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT). THE FORD TRUCK CRASHED INTO THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE VAN. ONLY THE TWO FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY 2-YEAR-OLD BOY WAS SITTING RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVER' SEAT. HE WAS BUCKLED IN A 5-POINT CAR SEAT. HIS SIDE SLIDING DOOR'S WINDOW (TINTED) SHATTERED AND THE BROKEN GLASS FLEW INTO HIS FACE WITH FORCE. HIS FACE WAS COVERED IN BLOOD AT ONCE. AT THE ER, THE DOCTOR HAD TO USE X-RAY AND DUG OUT CHUNKS OF GLASSES OUT OF HIS FACE. HE GOT 30 PLUS STITCHES AND WILL NEED TO HAVE PLASTIC SURGERIES LATER DUE TO FLESH LOSS AND BIG CUTS ON THE LEFT-SIDE OF HIS FACE. IF THE WINDOW DIDN'T SHATTER AND FLY WITH FORCE, MY BOY SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNHURT IN THIS ACCIDENT. AS A FAMILY VEHICLE, ODYSSEY SHOULD HAVE SHATTER-PROOF WINDOWS. WE BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND WOULD LIKE TO START AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR FROM YOU. WE STILL HAVE THE VAN AT THE REPAIR SHOP UNTOUCHED. THE VAN IS GOING TO BE TOTALED. IF YOU NEED TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE VAN, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO DO SO. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SALES PERSON WHOM WE BOUGHT THE VAN FROM, BUT HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK ON THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING, MY SON'S SEAT BELT BECAME UNBUCKLED AND MY SON TUMBLED FORWARD WHILE STILL STRAPPED IN HIS CAR SEAT. *NM

2005 ODYSSEY WITH 10K MILES EXPERIENCING LOUD GRINDING UPON MEDIUM TO HARD BRAKING. MOSTLY OCCURS WITH IN TOWN DRIVING AFTER BRAKES HAVE WARMED UP. WILL OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN NOT BE HEARD AGAIN FOR WEEKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE TAKEN IN INTO HONDA 2X'S TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT AND HEARD NOTHING. THEY CHECKED PADS AND ROTORS AND EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT. AFTER BEING TREATED LIKE I WAS CRAZY I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED TO HAVE A SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS APPARENT. HE HEARD THE PROBLEM AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH A SHOP FOREMAN STATED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND I HAVE NO OPTIONS OF FIXING THIS UNTIL HONDA FIGURES OUT WHAT TO DO.*JB

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY LX IN SEPTEMBER 2004. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE INCIDENTS IN WHICH THE BRAKES MAKE A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE WITH NORMAL BRAKING THAT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. THE SOUND AND FEEL IS LIKE THERE IS METAL GRINDING METAL FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE GRINDING OCCURS, BRAKING POWER IS MINIMAL. THE GRINDING OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY IN CITY DRIVING AFTER USING THE BRAKES MORE OFTEN. ITS ALMOST LIKE THEY HEAT UP AND GET STICKY??? THE SCARCITY EXPERIENCE WAS COMING DOWN A HILL TO A RED LIGHT AT 15 MPH, MY FAMILY WITHIN, COMING TO A MAJOR ROAD, AND THE FEELING OF THE VAN NOT STOPPING SCARED ME TO DEATH. THE GRINDING ISSUE HAS RESULTED IN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY BUT NO LOSS OF CONTROL. AS I HAVE FOUND HERE, I AM PART OF A GROWING COMPLAINT FROM OTHER NEW ODYSSEY OWNERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED AND EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. DO NOT KNOW IF THIS MATTERS OR NOT, WHEN THIS OCCURS, I CAN GO AND COOL THE BRAKES WITH WATER AND THE SENSATION WILL DIMINISH AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE COMMON AS TIME IS CONTINUING. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO MY DEALER, BUT THEY ALWAYS JUST SAY THAT THEY DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING. SAME OLE SAME OLE....*NM

THE RUBBER SEAL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGER DOOR IS COMING LOOSE. WHEN THE RUBBER PULLS AWAY, IT LEAVES A RIGID ALUMINUM THAT HAS HURT MY 2 AND 3 YEAR OLD WHEN THEY ARE GETTING OUT OF THE VAN. *NM

MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. 1ST EPISODE WAS JAN 2005(~1030MI). AS I WAS TURNING RIGHT,WENT OVER A CURB. CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. EVERYTHING IN CAR WENT OUT AS IF SOMEONE PULLED AN ELECTRICAL PLUG. I TURNED KEY TO OFF & WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART.BROUGHT CAR TO FISCHER HONDA,YPSILANTI,MI.SERVICE DEPT SAID THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG.I THOUGHT THEY CALLED TECH SUPPORT. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE CAR BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED SEPT 13,2005(~7665MI).AS WAS TURNING LEFT FROM TURN LANE,CAR STALLED IN ON-COMING TRAFFIC,CAUSING A NEAR-ACCIDENT.PUT CAR IN PARK,TURNED KEY TO OFF,&RESTARTED CAR IMMEDIATELY.BROUGHT CAR TO HOWARD COOPER HONDA SERVICE,ANN ARBOR,MI NEXT MORNING.I FILED CASE # &COMPLAINT W/AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. CUST. SERVICE. HONDA SVC. DEALER CALLED SAYING FOUND NOTHING WRONG&THAT I NEEDED TO PICK UP CAR.WE ARGUED THAT NEEDED FURTHER EXPLORATION OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE,NOT JUST FOR US BUT POTENTIALLY OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS. WE WERE PARTICULARLY CONCERNED WHEN OUR INTERNET SEARCH FOUND NHTSA RECALL ID#05V132000.WE MENTIONED THIS RECALL BUT SVC DEALER SAID OUR VIN DIDN'T FALL WITHIN RECALL RANGE& THAT IT DEFINITELY COULDN'T BE OUR FUSE BOX.WE ASKED IF THEY TESTED OUR FUSE BOX DIRECTLY.THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T. FINALLY,HONDA DEALER PROVIDED RENTAL CAR WHILE THEY DROVE CAR FOR A WEEK(~270 MILES)CHECKING FOR STALL.THEY CHANGED ON BOARD COMPUTERS DATA CAPTURE TO RECORD FOR STALL.THEY CALLED HONDA TECH SUPPORT WHO STAT

DT: THE CONTACT TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING FOR A RECALL REPAIRS CONCERNING THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALER WAS VERY NASTY. HE TOLD THE CONTACT THEY WOULD GET TO IT WHEN THEY COULD IF THEY EVEN GOT TO IT. HE RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER ABOUT A WEEK AGO. THE CONTACT CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR IN, BUT HE WAS PUT ON HOLD SEVERAL TIMES . HE WAS UNABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. HE DID NOT LEAVE THE CAR THERE. HE WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. *AK

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

(1) WE WERE DRIVING TODAY ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE SIGNAL LIGHT TURNED RED. WE PROCEEDED TO STOP AND OUR BRAKES STARTED MAKING A GRINDING/CLUNKING SOUND. IT ALSO PREVENTED US TO SLOW DOWN OUR VAN NORMALLY....IN OTHER WORDS....INCREASED THE DISTANCE BEFORE OUR VAN STOPPED. (2) WE JUST ABOUT WENT INTO THE 4-WAY INTERSECTION, BUT WE DIDN'T. (3) OUR DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT OUR BRAKES A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THEY SPOKE TO A COUPLE HONDA ENGINEERS WHO WERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER 05 ODYSSEY MINIVANS. THEY STATED HONDA IS WORKING ON A SOLUTION TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND THE ISSUE DOES NOT EFFECT THE VANS STOPPING PERFORMANCE. THIS IS NOT TRUE AS I HAVE HAD SLAM ON MY BRAKES A FEW WEEKS BACK DUE TO SOMEONE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND IT DID THE SAMETHING WITH THE GRINDING/CLUNKING. I ALMOST HIT THE OTHER CAR DUE TO THE INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCE. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER 05 ODYSSEY ON HTTP://WWW.ODYCLUB.COM/FORUMS THAT HAVE THE SAME BRAKING ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE ABOUT 7 TIMES NOW. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE BRAKE PADS/CALIPERS OR WHATEVER IS CAUSING THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED!!! *JB

DT: THE PROBLEM BEGAN LAST OCTOBER THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE DOOR BEING LOOSE FROM THE TRACK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES. THE DEALER JUST TIGHTENED THE BOLTS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HONDA. UPON INVESTIGATION THE OWNER FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS 99V15800 AND 99V159000. HONDA DENIED ANY PROBLEMS. HONDA STATED THAT THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO CAUSE A RECALL. SOMETIMES THE CHILD HAS TO HOLD THE DOOR SO IT WONT COME OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST DAY. THE DEALER REPORTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE ADJUSTING THE STRIKER. *AK *NM

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 AC

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WITH FILLING THE 20 GALLON GASOLINE TANK. *MR *SC

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON JULY 25, 2005. HE STATED THAT WITH ONLY 750 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THREE PEOPLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP DID AN INVESTIGATION ,TWO PEOPLE CONFIRMED THE FAILURE AND ONE DID NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A SOUND WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, IT LIKE A VERY LOUD HUMMING NOISE. HE HEARD THE NOISE THE DAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 40 MPH, AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD HEARD THE NOISE AT A LOW SPEED. IT OCCURRED MORE TRAVELING UP OR DOWN A HILL OR WHEN YOU PUT STRESS ON THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP DID SOME ADDITIONAL TESTING AND DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE THE FIRST TIME. THEY DID NOT HEAR IT THE SECOND TIME. THE THIRD TIME THEY DID HEAR THE NOISE. AFTER THE ADDITIONAL TESTING THEY FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS ONE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED WITH THE NHTSA ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. INITIALLY, THIS VEHICLE WOULD DO THIS SOUND MORE OFTEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. BUT SOMETIMES IT OCCURRED AT LOWER SPEEDS AS WELL. *AK

I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L AND DROVE IT ON ONLY 2 OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE IT, I HAD THE WINDOWS BEHIND THE FRONT SEATS DOWN AND NOT ONLY WAS THE NOISE LEVEL EXTREMELY HIGH, BUT IT CREATED SOME KIND OF VIBRATION OR PRESSURE CHANGE WHICH CAUSED EXTREME PAIN TO MY EAR DRUMS. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, I DROVE IT AGAIN, TRIED ALL COMBINATIONS OF ROLLING DOWN WINDOWS BUT AS LONG AS THE BACK ONES WERE DOWN, THE VIBRATION/PRESSURE TO MY EARS WAS INTOLERABLE. I HAD THROBBING IN MY EARS FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND IT FINALLY LED TO AN EAR INFECTION. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF DARLING'S HONDA (THE DEALERSHIP IN BANGOR, MAINE) AND TO AMERICAN HONDA. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED FOR 3 MONTHS TO TRY TO FIND AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE FOR ME. HOWEVER, AMERICAN HONDA SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING AND THE VEHICLE DESIGN IS NOT DEFECTIVE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HEARD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS. APPARENTLY RUPTURED OR PERFORATED EAR DRUMS ARE NOT CONSIDERED A HAZARD TO THE HONDA COMPANY. I NOW HAVE A NEW CAR I CANNOT USE UNLESS IT IS TOO COLD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS, OR SO WARM THAT THE A/C IS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE, BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD TO MY HEALTH. *JB

MY 14-YEAR OLD BECAME ENTANGLED IN THE SEAT BELT IN THE 3RD ROW PASSENGER-SIDE SEAT OF OUR NEW HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. THE SEAT BELT WAS WRAPPED AROUND HIS WAIST. THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO GAIN ANY SLACK TO LOOSEN THE BELT. ALL ATTEMPTS TO LOOSEN (BY FEEDING IN SLACK TO GAIN RELEASE) ONLY MADE THE BELT TIGHTER UNTIL MY CHILD WAS LITERALLY HANGING FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE, 8 HOURS FROM HOME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CUT THE BELT TO RELEASE HIM. (I HAPPENED TO HAVE A KNIFE IN THE CAR, WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL.) I HAVE ASKED HONDA TO REPAIR THE BELT. THEY HAVE OFFERED 50% ONLY. I AM MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NOT A MANUAL OVERRIDE TO ALLOW THE SEAT BELT TO BE RELEASED. I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THE SEAT BELT GOES INTO A DIFFERENT MODE WHEN EXTENDED ALL THE WAY. IT WILL NOT RELEASE UNTIL THE BELT IS RETRACTED ALL THE WAY. IT SOUNDS LIKE HONDA HAS FIXED A SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING CHILD CAR SEATS, BUT THEY HAVE CREATED A NEW SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL CHILDREN. WHAT IF THE BELT HAD GOTTEN WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK? ANY CHILD PLACED IN A SEAT BELT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF PULLING THE SEAT BELT OUT ALL OF THE WAY AND ALLOWING IT TO GET WRAPPED AROUND THEIR BODY OR NECK.*JB

WHEN BRAKING, SEVERE GRINDING NOISE RIGHT FRONT. DEALER SAID CALIPERS WERE LEAKING ON TO PADS CAUSING NOISE. REPLACED CALIPERS AND PADS. LASTED A WEEK, SAME NOISE, DEALER AGAIN REPLACED PADS AND CALIPERS. SAID THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS HAPPENING. NOT A SAFE CONDITION. *NM

INSTRUMENT PANELS AUTOMATICALLY ILLUMINATES DIMLY WHEN THE DOOR OPENS AND COMPLETELY BRIGHTEN UP ONCE THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE KEY HOLE. THIS AUTOMATIC FEATURE USUALLY CAUSES MOST OF THE DRIVER THAT I KNOW TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS OFF BUT THINKING THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ON BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS BRIGHTLY LIT. *JB

DT: CONTACT TOOK HIS CAR TO THE SERVICE DEALERSHIP ON 8-1-05 BECAUSE HEARD A BUBBLING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS VIBRATION THAT WAS COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE CONSUMER ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, AND WOULD NOT GIVE HIM A LOANER. THE DEALER COULD NOT GIVE CONTACT A SPECIFIC TIME WHEN THE CAR WILL BE REPAIRED, AND THEY WANTED HIM TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS FUEL TANK PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER SAID IF THE DEALER FELT IT WAS SAFE, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THERE HAD BEEN OTHER HONDAS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.*AK

DT: CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM. THE FRONT END MADE NOISE AND THE STEERING SHOOK AT SPEED OF 50-70 MPH. DEALER EXAMINED VEHICLE 5 TIMES, AND THEY ARE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER WAS STICKING WITH THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE SPECS WERE WITHIN VEHICLE LIMITS. HAD A HEARING WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND THEY ASKED THE MANUFACTURER TO DO THE REPAIRS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ON MARCH 12, 2005. *AK UPDATED 03/28/06. *JB

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 EASIL

DRIVER SEAT IS CROOKED RIGHT SIDE LOWER THEN LEFT SIDE WHEN DRIVE OVER 15 MINUTES GETING PAIN ON RIGHT HIP AND LEG.

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.
