2005 Honda Odyssey complaints

AIR BAG CHECK LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. BEGAN WITH INTERMITTANT ON/OFF BUT NOW ON ALL THE TIME.

WAS PARKED AT GROCERY STORE WHEN A CABLE SNAPPED ON OUR DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR. POWER WAS LOST TO THE DOOR AND UPON ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE MANUALLY THE DOOR FELL OFF AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY INJURED SOMEONE AS THE BACK OF THE DOORS CORNER HIT THE GROUND WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CRUSH IF NOT SEVER A FOOT. THIS LEFT OUR VEHICLE DISABLED AND LEFT US STRANDED.

TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEED IAW SPEED LIMITS AND TRAFFIC FLOW, NOTICED SURGING (LIKE SLIPPING) FROM TRANSMISSION, NOTICED DRIVE INDICATOR BLINKING, ENGINE REVS SURGING WITH TRANSMISSION SURGES. I HOPE TO MAKE NEAREST SAFE AREA TO PULL OVER (REST PLAZA LESS THAN 7 MILES AWAY) GOT 4 MILES. HAD REDUCED SPEED TO RELIEVE STRESS ON TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. SPEED CONTINUED TO REDUCE SUDDENLY TO BELOW 45 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO FIND SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER. TRANSMISION LOCKED INTO DRIVE POSITION COULD NOT SHIFT TO ANY GEAR. NO GRINDING SOUNDS WERE EVER HEARD. I WAS BY MYSELF BUT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE. COULD LEAD TO DEATH FROM BEING HIT FROM REAR BY ANOTHER CAR OR TRUCK AS TRANSMISSION'S RAPID RATE OF DECELERATION CAUSE BY ITS FAILURE. LOOKED UP BLINKING TRANSMISSION INDICATOR AND DID NOT FIND ANY WARNING OR NOTIFICATION AS TO POSSIBLE CAUSE. FOUND OUT THAT HONDA ODESSESY'S TRANSMISSION HAS HISTORY OF CATISTROPHIC FAILURE IF NOT SERVICED EVERY 35K (VARIES ACCORDING TO COMPLAINT). AGAIN NO WQARNING OF THIS POSSIBLE EVENT MENTIONED IN OWNER'S MANUEL. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OR ITS SERVICE RECORD. I DID HAVE IT SERVICED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT BUT AGAIN HAD NO WARNING. IRONICALLY, I'M AN AUTOMOTIVE RELIABILITY/SAFETY MANAGER BY PROFESSION.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE AFTER 25 MINUTES OF TRYING AND FINALLY GETTING IT CLOSED I HEADED HOME. ONLY TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I CAN HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THE WINDOW IS DOWN YET IT'S NOT. ALL THE WINDOWS WHERE CLOSED AND THE AC WAS ON. THEN I SAW THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON FOR THAT DOOR. THE DOOR HAD COME UNLATCHED ENOUGH DROP TO CHANGE THROUGH. I BOUGHT THIS VAN AND LOVED IT NOW I AM SERIOUSLY RECONSIDERING EVER BUYING ONE AGAIN. MY SISTER HAS THE 2006 AND SHE HAS HAD IT HAPPEN WITH BOTH DOOR ONE EVEN COMING OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 40 MPH. MY OTHER SISTER ALSO HAS AN ODYSSEY THE 2003 AND SHE HAS ALSO HAS SAFETY ISSUES WITH HER POWER DOOR. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD AND NOW I'M HEARING MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY, SOMETIMES STAYS ON FOR DURATION OF THE DRIVE, SOMETIMES GOES OFF. THIS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT SINCE EARLY 2014. REPORTED THIS TO DEALER WHEN TAKATA RECALL HAPPENED. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND OFFERED TO DIAGNOSE AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE FOR $90. I HAVE DECLINED THIS OFFER. IN LIGHT OF TAKATA RECALL, AND MY VEHICLE'S MAKE/MODEL IN RELATION, I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE.

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. USUALLY WHEN TURNING TO PARK IN A PARKING SPACE OR TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY.

POWER SLIDING DOORS STOPPED WORKING.

ON JUNE 15, 2015 MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED UNTIL NOW, I WAS SCARED DUE TO AIRBAG MIGHT BLOWN OUT OR CAUSING ANY TROUBLE WHILE VEHICLE IN USE OR WORST SOMETHING HAPPEN. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER ON JUNE 16, AND I WAS TOLD NO RECALLS. THEY DID SOME DIAGNOSE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE AND WIRING ON DRIVER SIDE, THE BUCKLE WAS REPLACE (FREE OF CHARGE), BUT THE WIRING COST $550 TO HAVE IT FIX. I REFUSED THE SERVICE DUE TO NO SENSE AND NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO PROVE THE ISSUE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND SAME ISSUE ON SAME VEHICLE THAT HAS AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. I DO BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER SHOULD ADDRESS THIS AS RECALL ESPECIALLY IF THE VEHICLE NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANKS

BOTH MY SIDE DOORS HAVE BEEN BEEN MAKING NOISE. THEN MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. WE USED THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR INSTEAD. ON THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2015 WHILE OPENING IT THE ENTIRE DOOR FELL OFF AND SMASHED MY FOOT. BRUISING AND SWELLING ON MY BIG TOE BUT NOTHING TO GO TO ER OVER. ICED IT AND STILL HURTING A FEW DAYS LATER. CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MY RESPONSIBILITY. OUT OF WARRANTY. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. DOORS FALLING OFF THEIR VANS! SEEMS RIDICULOUS AND TIME FOR A RECALL. CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID THAT IT WAS MY CAR AND THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR IT. I SAID THAT COINCIDENTALLY I JUST HAD MY VAN IN FOR A RECALL (FUEL PUMP - WAS SMELLING GAS WHILE DRIVING IT) SO THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE. SOME THINGS THEY DO FIX FOR FREE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I OPENED THE DOOR FOR MY 9-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO GET INTO THE CAR. WHAT IS THE DOOR FELL ON HER?

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.

CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IS STAYING ON NOW. IT WAS COMING ON AND GOING OFF BUT NOW IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. WAS HOPING THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS LAST RECALL BUT IT WASN'T.

THE ABS BRAKES PERFORM NORMALLY 90% OF THE TIME . HOWEVER AT LEAST ONCE DURING A TRIP USUALLY AT 5 OR 10 MPH SPEED I STEP ON THE BRAKES AND MUST FLOOR THEM WITH EXTREME PRESSURE TO GET THEM TO WORK .I END UP STOPPING 5 TO 10 FEET PAST WHERE I SHOULD . THE REMAINDER OF A TRIP THE BRAKES SEEM TO BEHAVE NORMALLY . NO BRAKE WARNINGS APPEAR ON THE DASH AND MY FLUID LEVEL IS NORMAL WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS .

I'VE THIS HONDA ODYSSEY SINCE DEC 2010 WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 42000 MILES. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE FROM ANOTHER PERSON(1ST OWNER), I KNEW I HAD TO FIX THE ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST 44000 MILES AND I HAD CHANGED ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS AT 45412 MILES ON 03/17/2011. NOW, AS OF 05/19/2015, THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 96000 MILES. I HAVE TO CHANGE SIDE AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS AGAIN ON 05/19/2015. THIS DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA PARTS AND HOW THEY ARE WORKING WHEN THE VAN IS IN MOTION. CHANGING MOTOR MOUNTS 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING AND WASTE OF UNNECESSARY MONEY. MY WIFE USES THIS VAN FOR HER DAILY WORK COMMUTE. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT HAS LESS MILES AND I'VE DONE ALL THE SERVICES REGULARLY AS IT IS THE PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. SO, I REQUEST HONDA TO CONSIDER THIS AS A GENUINE REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I'VE THE RECEIPTS FOR THESE 2 SERVICES. ALSO, I'VE SEEN SEVERAL HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 VANS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, SO HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS MOTOR MOUNTS PROBLEM AND FIX AT THEIR COST OR REIMBURSE FOR ALREADY REPAIRED VANS

AS I STARTED TO RECEIVE NOTICE THAT MY NAVIGATION DISC NEEDED REPLACING, THE DISC FAILED, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENTIRE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND RENDERING ALL CONSOLE CONTROLS USELESS. THOUGH THAT IS IRRITATING, THE SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT IT ALSO SHUT DOWN THE USE OF MY BACK-UP CAMERA. ALTHOUGH I AM ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE CAMERA, SEVERAL "ALMOST" ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THE BLIND SPOTS I CAN NO LONGER SEE WITHOUT THE USE OF THE CAMERA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

BOTH LATCHES ON SLIDING DOORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW, WHILE DRIVING THE DOORS COME UNLATCHED ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT OPEN THEY ARE UNLATCHED AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

CRANK SHAFT PULLEY SEPARATED FROM HUB AND CAUSED SUDDEN & TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION. *TR

CAR JIGGERS AND VIBRATES WHEN ECO MODE KICKS IN. CAR ALSO VIBRATES CONSTANTLY. MULTIPLE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE BEEN DEEMED BAD AND NEEDING REPLACEMENT. MOTOR MOUNTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE ECO SHIFT AND LAST LONGER THAN THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V504000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

PLEASE, JUST CHECK PROBLEM WITH AIR BAGS! HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2005/HONDA/ODYSSEY/AIR_BAGS/PROBLEM.ASPX AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND OFF. AFTER TWO YEARS THE LIGHT ON MOST OF THE TIME AND IT WENT OFF AUTOMATICALLY FOR A WHILE THEN CAME BACK ON. I CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR INC. THEY DON'T WANT TO CREATE A RECALL FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT WILL BE DIFFERENT COMPONENT FAIL IN THAT CASE. THEY JUST WANT TO CREATE THE RECALL FOR EACH COMPONENT BREAK DOWN. THEY NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST AND DEPEND ON WHICH COMPONENT UNDER WARRANTY THEN HONDA WILL NOT CHARGE THE PARTS. OTHERWISE WE NEED TO PAY ALL THE REPAIR. I REQUEST FOR THE RECALL FOR THE SRS LIGHT ON. BECAUSE A LOT OF THE OWNERS THINK THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT THEY THINK JUST THE LIGHT IS ON AND KEEP DRIVING. I WAS THINKING THE SAME WAY TOO. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO REQUEST THAT RECALL ASAP FOR THE SRS LIGHT ON SO WE WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE LIFE IN ADVANCE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MANY, MANY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. FOR SOME REASON MANUFACTURE YEAR 2005 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL? WE GOT THE INITIAL LETTER TELLING US OUR AIR BAGS WOULD BE A RECALL ITEM IN THE SUMMER, 2014 BUT THEN NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW-UP LETTER. UPON INVESTIGATION ON MY PART I FOUND OUT THAT MY MODEL YEAR, 2005, AIR BAGS DID NOT GET RECALLED. BUT WE ARE HAVING THE SAME AIR BAG ISSUE AND SEEMS LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY MATTER. *T

STEERING WHEEL SEVERE VIBRATIONS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 50 UP TO 70 MPH WENT TO AUTO MECHANIC AND REPLACED 2 ENGINE MOUNTS ($1113 TOTAL). *TR

THE PAINT IS COMING OFF MY CAR IN SHEETS. THE PEOPLE AT THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS AND THAT IT WAS RECALLED BY HONDA. HONDA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT MY CAR. SAID OLD AGE. THAT ISN'T TRUE. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND HONDA CLAIMS THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE READ ALL ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AND I BELIEVE THIS ONE SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT HONDA'S COST. I AM NOT SURE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE SLIDING DOORS ROLLERS AND LATCHES ARE DEFECTIVE! THE LEFT DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AND IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD WITH KIDS IN THE BACK! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!! 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. *TR

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

SUMMER OF 2014 MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS LOSING POWER ON THE ROAD TO THE POINT I HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. TURNED OUT I WAS LOW ON OIL WITH NO LEAKS AT ALL AND NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THIS IS VERY STRESSFUL ON MY ENGINE. MY VAN IS ONLY USED FOR LOCAL TRAVEL, ABOUT 20 MILES PER DAY AND I HAVE BEEN NEEDING TO ADD OIL ABOUT ONCE PER MONTH, STILL WITH NO LEAKS. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR HONDA ODYSSEYS 2008-2013 FOR EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING, ENTERING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEEDS AND CONDITIONS. COPIED FROM THE INTERNET, HTTP://WWW.HONDAPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/EXCESSIVE-OIL-CONSUMPTION/ THE ORIGINAL LAWSUIT CLAIMS HONDA HID THE PROBLEM FROM CONSUMERS. HONDA DENIED THE ALLEGATION, DESPITE ISSUING A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB #11-033) IN JULY OF 2011 THAT QUIETLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THE TSB STATES THAT "THE VCM (VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT) MAY BE REPEATEDLY SWITCHING ON AND OFF DURING LIGHT THROTTLE OPERATION, AT CRUISING SPEEDS, ON FLAT ROADS." ESSENTIALLY, THE ENGINE IS WORKING MUCH HARDER THAN IT HAS TO IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IN FACT, IF YOUR COMMUTE DOESN'T CONSIST OF CLIMBING THROUGH THE ROCKIES, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE MORE OIL CONSUMPTION THAN NORMAL. JUST SPOKE TO AMERICAN HONDA WHO ADVISED I NEED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO HONDA FOR AN INSPECTION.

TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE CRACKED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN LOOKING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND THIS COMPLAINT ON NUMEROUS SITES. *JS

THE MESSAGE "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" LIGHTS UP ON THE DASHBOARD. INITIALLY, IT BEGAN LIGHTING UP MORE INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN GOING OFF, BUT NOW IT IS ON NEARLY ALL THE TIME. MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL THAT HONDA HAS. IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2005 ODYSSEY OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE BEGIN AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE P[ART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL. *TR

AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY IN DASHBOARD. THIS IS HAPPENING FROM DEC 31ST 2014. BUT NOT SEEING THIS SENSOR LIGHT ALL THE TIME IN DASH BOARD. WHEN I CHECK FOR HONDA RECALL ONLINE WITH MY CAR VIN#, MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING THE RECALL FOR AIRBAG'S REPLACEMENT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO GET THIS DONE WITH HONDA FOR FREE OF CHARGE. *JS

AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITENTLY. *TR

CAR IS SOMETIMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. FINALLY HAD THE STEERING PUMP REPLACED FOR $271.77, THIS AFTER THEY HAD REPLACED IT PREVIOUSLY UNDER WARRANTY. SO HAVE HAD THREE STEERING PUMPS IN THIS CAR AND SOMETIMES CANNOT MOVE THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPOT OR GARAGE. LOCAL DEALER REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, AGES 9 AND 6, AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OPENED. MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS SITTING NEXT TO THE DOOR SAID "MOMMY THE DOOR IS OPENING". I WAS DRIVING ONLY ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND I KEPT ON OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR AND WOULD APPEAR TO BE CLOSED BUT AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT WOULD OPEN AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL WITH MY HAZARDS ON AND IF THE DOOR OPENED AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING WE HEARD A CONTINUOUS BEEPING NOISE LIKE I WOULD HEAR IF THE DOOR WAS OPEN. THIS INCIDENT SCARED MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW IN THIS CAR AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE HEARD THE BEEPING SOUND BEFORE WHEN IT IS VERY COLD BUT THIS IS THE FIRST THAT THE DOOR ACTUALLY OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY (BEGAN AT APPROX. 55MPH), MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. ANY ACCELERATION AT OR HIGHER THAN THE 55MPH MARK CONTINUES TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SHAKE. WE BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY DAMAGED/BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. *TR

WHEN MANEUVERING IN LOW MILEAGE AREAS, I.E. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS, MY POWER STEERING PUMP DOES NOT ASSIST WELL, IF AT ALL. THE VEHICLE MAKES A NOISE SIMILAR TO AN RC CAR WITH A DYING BATTERY AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO MOVE. IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, IT CAN TAKE ME UP TO 10 OR SO MOVES BECAUSE I CANNOT GET THE WHEEL TO TURN PROPERLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V112000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPY ROAD SURFACES, THE ENGINE WOULD VIBRATE ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS THE VEHICLE WOULD JOLT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR ENGINE MOUNT WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

OUR VEHICLE HAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM WE HAVE WITH OUR VEHICLE (NHTSA RECALL # 05V-344) BUT OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. SINCE THE EXACT PROBLEM WE HAVE IS PART OF A RECALL THE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF OUR VEHICLE, WE ARE QUESTIONING WHY OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, AND QUESTIONING WHETHER THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE OTHER VINS (INCLUDING OUR NUMBER). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHICH MADE IT HARD TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIRED SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHMAGOO EN I PURCHASED THE CAR I HAD AN APPROVED BY HONDA SCOOTER LIFT INSTALLED BY UNLIMITED ABILITIES IN DEER PARK NY. I AM HANDICAPPED AND AFTER THE INSTALLATION I RECEIVED A REBATE FROM HONDA . AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL MY WIFE BROUGHT THE CAR IN BECAUSE OF THE RECALL TO NARDY HONDA SMITH TOWN N.Y. AND WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT WORK ON THE RECALL UNTIL THE LIFT IS REMOVED. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS GIVEN CASE # [XXX] AND WAS ADVISED SOMEONE WOULD CALL WITHIN 24 HRS. NO ONE CALLED. I CALL AGAIN AND WAS INFORMED THE PERSON HANDLING WAS OUT AND WOULD CALL ME WITHIN 24 HRS NO ONE CALLED.IN I CALLED HARDY HONDA SERVICE MGR [XXX] AND HE ADVISED ME WOULD CHECK WITH HDQTRS TO DETERMINE WHO WOULD PAY FOR THE LIFT REMOVAL NECESSARY FOR THE REPAIR AND CALL ME BACK. HE NEVER CALLED.PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE RECALL FUMES PROBLEM ISN'T RESOLVED I COULD BE A DEAD DUCK IF A FIRE HAPPENED.

MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L HAS ONLY ABOUT 66,000 MILES ON IT AND A HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT ONE OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS HAS BROKEN WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR A HONDA'S FUEL PUMP SAFETY RECALL SERVICE. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HONDA'S OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2000 - 2012. THE ENGINE MOUNTS ON HONDA VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY THE ODYSSEY, BREAK EASILY AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT HONDA HAS NEGLECTED TO CORRECT. ENGINE MOUNTS SHOULD NOT BREAK AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. THEY SHOULD LAST EVEN MUCH LONGER THAN 100,000 MILES. THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENGINE MOUNT RUNS AT APPROXIMATELY $1000/MOUNT, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. PLEASE HELP LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN. I HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PUSH THE WINDOW DOWN WHILE HOLDING THE BUTTON. *TR

AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I WAS FORCED TO OBTAIN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, ETCHING AND MANY OTHER THINGS. ONE YEAR LATER I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING DOORS. I INFORMED HONDA BECAUSE DOORS ARE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANY REPAIRS. SUMMER OF 2014 THERE'S A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE STUCK CLOSED THEY CANNOT REPAIR THE RECALL. HOWEVER THE SERVICE ADVISOR OPENED THE SLIDING DOORS AND STILL THEN THEY REFUSE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. I CONTACTED HONDA'S MANUFACTURER AND PER THE CASE MANAGER AT CORPORATE OFFICE," HONDA CANNOT HELP ME THE RECALL." I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT ON SEPTEMBER OF 2011 THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE STEERING. I INFORMED THE CASE MANAGER THAT I NEVER RECEIVED SUCH NOTICE. HER RESPONSE WAS "PERHAPS THE NOTICE WAS MAILED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER, BECAUSE WE GO BY THE ADDRESS NOTED AT THE DMV OFFICE."; SEPTEMBER OF 2011 THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED UNDER MY NAME AND ADDRESS, THE CASE MANAGER DID NOT HAVE A RESPONSE FOR ME. FUEL PUMP RECALL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. *TR

OUR 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY LX IS HAVING MASSIVE PAINT PEELING ISSUES. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED FOR THIS PROBLEM A FEW YEARS AGO AND HAS SINCE EXPIRED, BUT AT THE TIME OF THE WARRANTY WE DID NOT NOTICE A PROBLEM. IT NOW HAS 60% PAINT LOSS ON THE ROOF AND PATCHES AS LARGE AS A HAND ON THE BODY ARE PEELING. VAN IS GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. AFTER CONTACTING THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE VAN WAS PURCHASED, WE WERE TOLD THERE WERE NO HONDA REPS IN OUR AREA TO INSPECT VAN AND THEY DON'T EXPECT ONE UNTIL NEXT MONTH OR SO. THE SERVICE MANAGER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN TO WAIT UNTIL THE REP IS AVAILABLE TO INSPECT VAN. BY THE TIME THE REP SEES OUR VAN, WE MAY HAVE NO PAINT LEFT. *TR

ACCELERATION TO 65-68MPH UP TO APPROXIMATELY 73-75MPH THE VAN'S FRONT WHEELS ENTER A MILD TO FAIRLY STRONG, ALARMING, SHIMMY FELT DISTINCTLY AND SYNCHRONIZED THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. WE HAD JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VAN 2 MONTHS PRIOR AND IRONICALLY HAD 2 BRAND NEW YOKOHAMA TIRES ON THE FRONT RIMS. WE TOOK A TRIP FROM MIDWEST TO UP AND ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. SYMPTOMS INITIALLY REASONABLE GOT STRONGER BUT APPEARED AT THE SLOWER END OF THE RANGE MENTIONED ABOVE. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN AGGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT YOU'D THINK I'D NEED NEW TIRES, BUT THEY ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH LOTS OF MEAT ON THE TREADS STILL. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS NOW THAT INDICATE VERY BAD DESIGN ON ELECTRONIC MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE CAUSED THIS AND CON CONCUR WITH THE GENERAL POPULOUS OF 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI-VAN OWNERS OUT THERE THAT THIS IS A CRITICAL FIX THAT NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY HONDA.

MY FIANCE, ME, AND OUR 3 MONTH OLD SON WERE INVOLVED IN A PRETTY SERIOUS ROLL OVER OCTOBER 13TH OF THIS YEAR AND WE HAD NO AIR BAGS DURING THE WRECK THEY DEPLOYED AT A DELAY HITTING ME IN THE HEAD. I HAD ALREADY HIT MY HEAD ON MY WINDOW SHATTERING AND BREAKING IT. AFTER WE WERE UPSIDE DOWN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THEN WHEN ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO WENT BY I EXITED MY SEAT DAZED. AS I CAME OUT MY SEAT I WAS MET BY AN FORGIVING BLOW MY SIDE AIR BAGS WHICH HAD NOT DEPLOYED AFTER ALL THIS TIME. I GOT MYSELF TOGETHER AND GOT MY FIANCE AND CHILD OUT THE CAR. HONDA TOLD ME WRECK WAS MY FAULT FOR IMPROPER USE OF THE VSA OK FINE BUT WHAT ABOUT THE AIR BAGS THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE THEM NOT DEPLOY. THE REP WAS RUDE AND SAID BASICALLY TUFF LUCK AND GOT OFF THE PHONE AS IF HE DID NOT CARE IT HAPPENED I COULD HAVE DIED AND LOST MY SON DUE TO THE AIR BAG ISSUE WHAT IF IT HAD WENT OFF WITH ME GETTING HIM OUT? THE GUY SAID I WAS NOT AT FAULT. I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THE INFORMATION HE TRIED TO PROVIDE ME AFTER THE WRECK SO NOW I'M LEFT DEALING WITH A LOT OF HEADACHES AND MENTAL PAIN AND TOLD TO LET IT GO. I'M NOT GOING TO REALLY CONSIDERING COURT IF NO ONE ELSE WILL HELP. IT WAS MY FAULT WITH THE VSA CAUSE I HAD NO MANUAL OR NOTHING SO I THOUGHT ALL THAT TIME WE WERE OPERATING IT RIGHT SO I TAKE THAT BLAME BUT THE AIR BAGS NO IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW WE WERE HAMMERED AFTER THE WRECK. PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. *TR
