2005 Honda Odyssey complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V344000(AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

ON GRADE OR WHEN ACCELERATING SLOWLY BETWEEN 25-30 MPH THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THIS SEAMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE, AND STILL NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE. MANY SAY IT IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER ON MODELS FROM 05-08. *TR

STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT PUT TOGETHER CORRECTLY CAN CAUSE AN ACCICENT. *TR

TRANSMISSION TROUBLE HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTED IN THE MORNING. HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS AT EVERY SPEED. WILL NEVER GO INTO TOP GEAR UNTIL VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP, IS TURNED OFF, AND TURNED BACK ON. THEN SHIFTS NORMALLY. REPLACING WITH NEW ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) DID NOT FIX. WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE MOUNTS TOO, DID NOT FIX EITHER. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ALONG 101 IN THE AFTERNOON, TURNED ON THE AC, IT STARTED TO BLOW OUT HOT AIR, REALLY HOT AIR. HAVE A MECHANIC CHECKED ON IT, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CONDENSER BROKE, A/C DEFECTS. FOUND LOTS OF HONDA OWNERS HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

HI I PURCHASED USED HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING 2005 AND DRIVING THE SAME PRESENT METER READING IS 160K. I DID NOT GET ANY SERVICE RECORDS OF THE VEHICLE FROM PREVIOUS OWNERS AND COULD NOT KNOW WHETHER THESE PROBLEMS EXISTS PREVIOUSLY ALSO. ONE DAY LEFT SLIDING DOOR OF THE TOURING COULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY AND AUTO ALSO. AFTER A WEEK A TIME IT STARTED OPENING IT SELF. LATER I FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND TAIL GATE DOOR OR BACK TRUNK DOOR ARE LOCKED AND CAN NOT OPEN WITH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES AND ALSO CAN NOT OPEN MANUALLY ALSO. IT IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT ABLE TO OPEN MANUALLY ALSO IN CASE ANY ACCIDENT WHICH MAY TAKE LIFE OF PERSON NOT ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE VAN. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS FEATURE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DID NOT APPROACH THE HONDA COMPANY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE SUGGEST ME TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION. *TR

FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR ON OUR CAR OPENED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. THE DOORS ARE VERY TROUBLESOME, REFUSING TO CLOSE, SHUTTING ON PASSENGERS AND EMIT A LOUD BEEPING NOISE WHEN NOT ABLE TO LATCH. NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, WE CANNOT GET THE NOISE TO STOP AND HAVE TO PUT THE DOOR IN MANUAL TO GET THE NOISE TO STOP. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE DOOR OPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THE MECHANISMS WERE FINE AND IT WAS PROBABLY A STRING. YESTERDAY IT OPENED ABOUT 5 INCHES WHEN I HAD A CHILD IN THAT SEAT. THE DEALER TOLD US TODAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE IT. HONDA TOLD US TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS WEAR SEAT BELTS. AN ONLINE SEARCH PROVED OUR SITUATION IS NOT UNIQUE. WE ARE SHOPPING FOR A NEW CAR, BUT ARE ASTONISHED AT THE LACK OF CARE HONDA HAS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CLIENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE AIR BAG MODULE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER: 05V344000 (AIR BAG) AND CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 MODEL VEHICLE SEAT WEIGHT SENSORS COULD RESULT IN DISABLING THE AIR BAGS. IF A WEIGHT COMPARABLE TO A CHILD (SUCH AS SCHOOL BAG OR GROCERIES OR A BOX) IS PLACED IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SEAT BELTS ARE NOT BUCKLED, AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD IS ILLUMINATED. EVEN AFTER REMOVING WEIGHT THE LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED. SUBSEQUENT PASSENGER SITTING AND SEAT BUCKLING DO NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE DISABLING OF AIR BAGS AND INDICATOR. IT HAS TO BE RESET BY A DEALER. THIS COULD ENDANGER THE PASSENGERS IN HONDA ODYSSEY 2005. *TR

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

ENGINE MOUNTS ON THE CAR BROKE AND NEED REPLACEMENT. *TR

ROLLING SIDE DOORS - AND REAR HATCH STRUTS MASSIVE PROBLEMS. BOUGHT CAR IN JAN 2006, NEW. IN 2007 ONE OF THE SIDE DOORS QUIT ROLLING. HAD TO HAVE THE ROLLER REPLACED - COST OVER $700. THEN A YEAR LATER, THE OTHER SIDE ROLLING DOOR WENT OUT. THEN, THE REAR HATCH STRUTS TOTALLY GAVE WAY AND THE REAR HATCH CAME SLAMMING DOWN ABOUT 2 INCHES FROM MY 7 YEAR OLDS HEAD. I CALLED DEALER - HONDA CARLAND IN ROSWELL - THEY COULD CARE LESS. UNTIL I HAD TO RAISED THE ROOF WITH HONDA CORPORATE BEFORE ANYBODY WOULD OFFER TO COVER THE COST TO REPLACE STRUTS. FOR CERTAIN, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS INJURY TO SOMEONE'S HEAD IF IT FELL ON THEM. AFTER THE HATCH, THEN CAME THE THIRD SLIDING DOOR PROBLEM, AGAIN I HAD TO FIX THE DOOR. SO, THREE DOOR FIXES AT OVER $700 EACH. NOW, IN 2013 FOR THE FOURTH TIME DOOR IS GOING OUT AGAIN. I AM TRADING THE CAR IN BEFORE HAVING IT FIXED. *TR

DURING COLD WEATHER, THE AUTOMATIC REAR PASSENGERS DOORS FAILED TO CLOSE AND LOCK PROPERLY, ALLOWING THE DOORS TO OPEN. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GETS BELOW 32 DEGREES. PROBLEM IS THE VAN IS KEPT IN GARAGE WHERE IT IS WARM, BUT WHEN OUT OF THE GARAGE (AWAY FROM HOME) AND THIS HAPPENS, NO WAY TO SAFELY GET HOME WITH THE DOORS NOT CLOSED PROPERLY, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK. *TR

WHEN THE CAR REACHES A SPEED OF 30-40 MILES AN HOUR THE ECO GEAR KICKS IN CAUSING THE CAR TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE UNDER THE CAR IN THE TRANSMISSION AREA. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS MOTOR MOUNTS, TORQUE CONVERTER, WHEEL ALIGNMENT, ETC. I HAVE FOUND A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT WAS FILED IN CALIFORNIA. I WANT TO BE ADD TO THAT LAWSUIT IF POSSIBLE. *TR

COMPLAINT CORRECTED BY HONDA CORPORATE. STRONG GAS SMELL ON HONDA ODYSSEY 2005. WAS TOLD I HAD A CRACKED FUEL PUMP AND REPAIR WAS $565. I SAW THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE SO I CALL HONDA CORPORATE VIA HONDA.COM AND COMPLAINED AND TOLD THEM I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY. THEY SAID TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALER TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM, AND THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER. AND SAID THEY WILL SEE IF I CAN GET AN OUT OF WARRANTY FIX AS A GOOD WILL JESTER. TODAY I DROPPED THE CAR OFF TO HOEHN HONDA IN CARLSBAD AND THE REPAIR WAS APPROVED FOR FREE AS A GOODWILL JESTER, AND HONDA IS ALSO FIXING A SEATBEALT SINCE THE SR LIGHT WAS ON AND AIRBAG. I AM SO THRILLED. I ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO CALL CORPORATE AN LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE, THAT ARE TO BE INVESTIGATED. HAPPY DAY, TODAY!!! *TR

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

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK; A GASOLINE SMELL FILLED THE CABIN AND CONTINUED TO EXIST UNTIL THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BY THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I INQUIRED AS TO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE ADVISER STATED THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. A CRACK WAS DISCOVERED ON THE TOP OF THE DEVICE. WOULD HONDA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAILED PART? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TRANSMISSION BUZZES AND SHIFTS AT 11 MPH WHEN NOT NEEDING TO DO SO. *TR

POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK WELL AT LOW SPEEDS (I.E. PARKING AND TURNING CORNERS). VEHICLE IS HARD TO TURN AND COULD RESULT IN CRASH. ALSO, REAR MOTOR HAS FAILED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN UNDESIRABLE SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ROLLERS BROKE ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, CAUSING THE DOOR TO BECOME DETACHED FROM THE HINGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 MODEL AT 40MPH, SUDDENLY THE "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" LIGHT ON MY CAR DASHBOARD CAME ON UNTIL THIS TIME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED.THANK YOU.

MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2005, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SHOWS UP, SOMETIME IT DISAPPEAR, THEN IT WILL COME BACK SOMETIME LATER. THE MINIVAN IS DERIVABLE BUT IT IS ANNOYING AND I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS POTENTIAL DANGER. *TR

ENGINE MOUNT PROBLEMS. I BESEACH YOU ALL, PLEASE HELP US! PURCHASED THIS CAR 8 MONTHS AGO FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP. WAS CONVINCED TO BUY WARRANTY. FIRST WEEK IT BEGAN TO MAKE NOISE AFTER PURCHASE, DROVE IN AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG AT THE TIME WITHOUT ANY INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND TO COME BACK. LIGHT CAME ON WAS ENGINE MOUNTS BROKEN OH AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I THOUGHT, GOOD THING I PURCHASED THE 3,000 DOLLAR WARRANTY THEY ASSURED ME WOULD COVER MAJOR THINGS OF COST. GUESS WHAT, NO COVERAGE-JUST THESE 2 REPAIRS ALONE WILL BE OVER 1500 NOT TO MENTION WHEN THE OTHER 2 MOUNTS BREAK FULLY. I HAVE READ 100 S OF PEOPLE ONLINE REPORTING THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON THE HONDA ODYSSEYS. THIS IS THE SAME AS ROBBING THE POOR. WHY TELL ME BUYING WARRANTY WILL COVER EXPENSIVE ENGINE STUFF BUT CLAIM 800+ IS NOT TOO MUCH? EVEN THE MECHANICS NEAR AND FAR, (I CALLED THEM), ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS ONLINE SUFFERING MY SAME DILEMMA SAID THIS ENGINE MOUNT IS SUPER COMMON FOR THE ODYSSEYS TO BREAK. ITS SO HARD TO AFFORD A CAR ANYMORE, BUT PEOPLE ARE WORKING SO HARD TO SAVE AND OTHERS TO FIX THEIR CREDIT JUST TO BARELY AFFORD A USED ONE,BUT TO PURCHASE A 3000$ WARRANTY THAT IS USELESS IN THIS VERY EXPENSIVE CASE ( 800) JUST FOR 2 OF THE MOUNTS AND RIGHT AWAY. I BABIED THE CAR. NOW I HAVE TO USE GROCERY MONEY THAT FEEDS MY FAMILY TO TRY AND PAY FOR THIS OBVIOUS FLAW THAT HONDA ALREADY KNEW AND KNOWS ABOUT. PLEASE, I BEG YOU TO READ ONLINE. ONE SIMPLE GOOGLE WILL SHOW I AM NOT ALONE IN TH

AFTER TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY WHICH CAUSED ME TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKE AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THAT REAR MOUNTS ARE BAD AN ESTIMATED $1200 REPAIR. HONDA REALLY SHOULD RECALL FOR THIS I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SHOVE OUT MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND TO BE A HIGHLY REPORTED PROBLEM ON THESE MODEL YEARS. *JS

MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED. THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH AN 8 YEAR OLD CAR. VAN SHOOK BAD ENOUGH WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE OR SOMETHING. I DIDN'T PANIC BUT IT SCARED ME ENOUGH WHERE I COULD SEE SOMEBODY HAVING A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. HONDA WANTS $1300 TO REPLACE, THAT'S NOT RIGHT. SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TT

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM DEALER WITH MINIMAL PROBLEMS UNTIL ABOUT 85,000 MILE WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND SHE WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAY AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THIS PROBLEM I HAD THE TIRES BALANCED TO ENSURE THAT THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE. MY SISTER-IN-LAW DROVE THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TO HER, SHE WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AT 65 MPH. I THEN STARTED TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM TO FIND MANY ARTICLES ON HOW THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT FAILS ON VEHICLES WITH AS LITTLE AS 50,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS A DRIVABILITY ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE FINE WITH A NEW MOTOR MOUNT AT THE TUNE OF $700. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD A MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WHEN THE MOUNT FAILS THE ENGINE DOES NOT JUST RISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BUT BEGINS TO VIBRATE WITH THE VEHICLES TIRES IN MOTION. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON FREQUENTLY, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. I NOTICED HONDA ODYSSEY 2003 AND 2004 MODEL ARE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR AIR BAG PROBLEMS INCLUDING AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING. MY ODYSSEY IS 2005 MODEL AND IS HAVING THE SIMILAR LIGHTING PROBLEM. CAN THE AGENCY ALSO INVESTIGATE THE YEAR 2005 MODEL PLEASE? I AM VERY CONCERNED THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS IT MAY LEAD TO. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS WITH MY MINIVAN. *TR

THIS PROBLEM STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT BECAME WORSE TILL THE IGNITION KEY JAMMED AND BECAME HARD TO TURN TO START THE ENGINE THEN, LAST WEEK, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS ASKED TO BRING IT IN TO THEM BUT WAS HESITANT TO. I WENT ON TO MY COMPUTER, DID A SEARCH, AND SAW SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE 2005 ODYSSEY EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEMS AND THE COST THAT THEY WERE QUOTED WAS ASTRONOMICAL. I THEN LOOKED UP A RELIABLE LOCKSMITH, THAT WORKED ON IGNITION SWITCH REPAIRS, LOCATED IN MY CITY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPAIR IT. THE TUMBLERS, ACTUAL ONE (1), HAD BECOMES WORN AND THAT CAUSED THE SWITCH TO FREEZE. I DO REMEMBER A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS OF HONDA FOR HAVING THIS SIMILAR TYPE OF SITUATION. I DID FIND OUT DURING THIS VISIT WITH THIS LOCKSMITH THAT A LOCAL DEALER, NOT MINE, WOULD BRING THEIR HONDAS TO THEM, THAT HAD BEEN BROUGHT IN TO THEIR HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND HAD THIS LOCKSMITH COMPANY DO THE ACTUAL REPAIRS. *TR

VAN VIBRATES UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC MOTOR MOUNTS, WHICH COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE, AND CAUSES HANDLING PROBLEMS WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR

THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY. DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT I SEE OTHER '05 ODY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT COMPLETELY CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. THE CONTACT THEN LOCATED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:07V097000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND A FAINT ONE INSIDE. TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALERS AND THE SAID IT HAD A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. HONDA COVERED 1/2 OF THE SERVICE CHARGE BUT NOT THE ENTIRE COST SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HONDA PAID HALF IN "GOODWILL". *TR

GASOLINE SMELL STARTED TO COME FROM ALL AROUND THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID FUEL PUMP HOUSING HAS A CRACK WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. DEALER SAID THERE WERE NO RECALL ON THIS BUT THE ISSUE SEEM TO BE HAPPENING TO FEW OTHERS ALSO. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER SINCE IT MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER'S TIRE. THE DRIVER NOTICED THE CRACKED FUEL FILTER UNIT HAD CAUSED FUEL TO SPRAY OUT AND FILLED UP THE RIDGE AROUND THE FUEL FILTER SYSTEM WHENEVER STARTING THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FUEL FILTER, FUEL PUMP WIRE HARNESS AND THREE O-RINGS WERE REPLACED. THE SENDING UNIT WAS INCLUDED IN THE REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,444. .... UPDATED 10-17-13 *BF UPDATED 10/30/2013 *JS

THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY- LOOKING ON LINE I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2005 FOR A MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAG SENSORS IN THE 2005 ODYSSEY - BUT OURS DID NOT GET THE RECALL NOTICE - IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER 2005 ODYSSEY OWNERS THAT ALSO CURRENTLY HAVING THIS ISSUE- THE 2005 RECALL ON THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE COMPREHENSIVE SO WE WOULD NOT BE GETTING MALFUNCTION WARNING. *TR

STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING REALLY BAD AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. *TR

WE TOOK OUR VAN IN FOR SERVICING AND COMPLAINED TO THE HONDA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VEHICLE VIBRATIONS THAT BECAME WORSE DURING REGULAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT (VCM) SYSTEM SHIFTED FROM 6 TO 4 CYLINDERS AND BACK AGAIN. WE ALSO STARTED EXPERIENCING A DISTINCT "CLUNK" SOUND DURING OUR VACATION TRIP IN LATE JUNE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THREE MOTOR MOUNTS ("FRONT, REAR AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS") HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACING. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, AS WELL AS AN OIL/FILTER CHANGE, AND VEHICLE MULTI-POINT INSPECTION. THE SUBTOTAL COST FOR JUST THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR WAS $987.13. WE DISCOVERED SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE REAR MOTOR, HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY OTHER 2005, 2006, & 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL & TOURING MODEL OWNERS. WE ARE NOW SEEKING "GOODWILL CONSIDERATION" FOR ALL, OR MOST OF THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT COST, SINCE LEARNING THAT THE ODYSSEY HASN'T BEEN RECALLED FOR CHECKS SINCE THE 1 DECEMBER 2006 SERVICE BULLETIN 06-083. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 50-55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN MY ENGINE MALFUNCTION AND BLINKING "D" INDICATOR CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND IMMEDIATELY HE TOLD ME HE HAD OTHER HONDA COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, HE TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, AND IT WAS SOMETHING FREQUENTLY IN MODEL YEAR FROM 1999-2006, AND THAT HONDA WAS IGNORING THE PROBLEM, PLEASE HELP I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY AND IT GIVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR NEVER WORKED WELL. THEY SCREECHED AND SQUEALED AND WERE SLOW TO RESPOND. DESPITE MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND MECHANICS, THEY INSISTED NOTHING WAS WRONG. I REAR ENDED SOMEONE COMING DOWN A HILL BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE. THE DIFFERENCE IN SPEED MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 35 MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I HIT THE SEATBELT WAY TOO HARD. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DID HAVE HIS AIRBAGS GO OFF. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT IN TO GET THE EMISSIONS CHECKED AND THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED I LOOK INTO RECALLS. FOUND ONE RELATED TO THIS, SO I CALLED HONDA TO DISCUSS. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH THEM YET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE VTN WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE VTN SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *TR

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD HONDA CARS AND HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE RELIABLE UNTIL NOW. AFTER READING ALL OF THE RECALLS ON MY PERSONAL VEHICLE, I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT 90% OF THE RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS HAVE HAPPENED WITH MY CAR AS WELL. MOST FRUSTRATING IS THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS. BRAKES, TIRES, AND VIBRATION WHEN REACHING 60 MILES PER HOUR HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE. AFTER SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY ON THESE ISSUES OVER THE YEARS, IT SEEMS THAT TWO BROKEN ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS AS WELL AS ONE MORE CRACKED ONE COULD BE THE REASON. MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM SAFE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE COMPLAINTS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE MORE I TALK WITH OTHERS, THE MORE I REALIZE HOW BIG OF A PROBLEM THIS IS. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE DECIDES TO TAKE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. IT IS A SHAME THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER CAN NOT OWN UP TO SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR FAULT LIKE INADEQUATE ENGINE MOUNTS. WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CAR, SINCE MINE NOW NEEDS BRAKES AND ROTORS AGAIN, TIRES AGAIN, AND PRICEY ENGINE MOUNTS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD. FROM A SAD AND DISAPPOINTED PREVIOUS HONDA CONSUMER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE. CONTACT SUSTAINED CONCUSSION TO THE FOREHEAD AND INJURIES TO THE NECK AND SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

THE AIRBAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK MY MINIVAN TO THE HONDA ANNAPOLIS DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY AIRBAGS. THEY DID FIND, HOWEVER, THAT THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SO THEY DID SO FREE OF CHARGE. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO TELL ME WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND TOLD ME TO BE GRATEFUL, AS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH AIRBAGS, IT WOULD HAVE COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

SRS INDICATOR STAYS ON AFTER THE ENGINE STARTS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 75 MPH AND SUDDENLY SAW A FLUME OF SMOKE BEHIND MY CAR. I NOTICE THE RPM JUMPED AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE IMMEDIATELY. IT SMELLED LIKE SOME LIQUID WAS BURNING. PULL THE CAR OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND LOOK TO FIND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD LEAKED AND SPRAYED ALL OVER THE ENGINE, HOSES, BATTERY, RADIATOR, ETC - CAUSING THE SMELL. TOWED IT BACK TO MY HOUSE. WHEN THE CAR GOT TO THE HOUSE, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SHOWED US THAT THE ATF HAD LEAKED PROBABLY COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE FOR HONDA TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION AND FIX MY CAR. IT'S NOT ONLY A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, IT ALSO A HAZARDOUS - WHAT IF IT HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE - WHEN THE FLUID SPRAYED OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE FAILED AND HAD TO BE HELD OPEN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE FAILURE DUE TO A RECALL ON THE 2008-09 MODELS BUT THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT IT DID NOT PERTAIN TO THE 2005 MODEL YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 145,000. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE AIRBAGS. THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I NOTICED A RECALL ON OTHER 2005 ODYSSEYS AND WANTED TO SEE IF OTHER 2005 ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I TAKE SERIOUSLY AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR
