2008 Honda Odyssey complaints

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN SPACE AT WORK. THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. SOMETIME, LATER, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS CAME ON. A FEW SECOND LATER, THE ALARM WENT OFF. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. TOOK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP, THOUGHT THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. THE ISSUES COME BACK AGAIN.

THIRD ROW SEATS DO NOT LATCH PROPERLY WHEN CONVERTING FROM STOW AWAY POSITION TO UPRIGHT SEATING POSITION. ONE MUST ALIGN THE LATCHING MECHANISM REQUIRING ONE TO FIRST LIFT THE SEAT FROM THE REAR, THEN MOVE TO THE FRONT OF THE SEAT IN THE CABIN AND PHYSICALLY ALIGN THE LATCHING MECHANISM. THIS PROCEDURE IS DONE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. THIS DEFICIENCY WAS FIRST NOTICED WITH PASSENGERS SEATED AND THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AS INERTIA CAUSED THE SEAT TO ROCK BACKWARDS UPON ACCELERATION. THIS IS CLEARLY NOT THE DESIGN INTENTION. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME THE SEAT IS CONVERTED. THE DATE ON THIS FORM IS NOT APPLICABLE.

2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL PUMP SAFETY RECALL. CONSUMER STATES THAT THEY NO LONGER OWN VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO NOTIFY CURRENT OWNER OF RECALL. *LD *JS

MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, I HEAR A LOUD SOUND THAT WAS LIKE A GUNSHOT. MY SUNROOF EXPLODED AND THE PIECES FELL ON ME, MY SON, AND FLEW OFF THE CAR ONTO THE ROAD WHILE I SLOWED DOWN.

RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LATCH WHILE STATIONARY. WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE UNLESS PHYSICALLY FORCED.

2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. BED BREAK GETS SOFT ON THE FLOOR. TODAY I PASS RED LIGHT. BRAKE PADS ALL GOOD LIQUID GOOD. I SEE ON NET MOST OWNERS HAVE SAME PROBLEM.ON THAT MODEL AND YEAR.

ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. OUR MECHANIC HAS LOOKED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR AN OIL LEAK AND CAN'T FIND ONE. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN OBSERVED TO BURN 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES.

VEHICLE HAS A SOFT BRAKE, MY WIFE HAS BEEN COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SOFT AND WOULD GO LOW TO THE FLOOR FOR SOME YEARS NOW, I CONTINUED TO SERVICE THE BRAKES, PADS AND ROTORS AND SHORTLY AFTER SHE WOULD SAY THE PEDAL IS LOW AGAIN. I STARTED TO LOOK INTO THIS AND SEE IF THERE IS ANY COMPLAINTS ON IT AND FOUND A NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 10V-098 THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHATS GOING ON AND MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER SAYS MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALLS. MY HONDA WAS MADE IN NOV OF 2007 AND FALLS INTO THE YEARS THAT IS AFFECTED. CAN YOU LOOK AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY MORE COMPLAINTS IN THIS? AND THIS IS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY THE PEDAL GOSE WAY TO LOW TO THE FLOOR.

THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, WHEN OPENED, BECAME DETACHED FROM THE RAILS BOTH TOP & BOTTOM FALLING COMPLETELY OFF, HANGING ONLY BY THE CABLE. BADLY SCRAPPING THE SIDE OF THE VAN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE DOOR. APPARENTLY HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS DESIGN DEFECT FOR MANY YEARS, BUT UNLIKE TOYOTA WHO HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, HONDA HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS MALFUNCTIONING OF THE DOOR THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL INJURIES TO A SMALL CHILD. THE OPEN BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD PANEL WAS HIT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY(NOT RUNNING). THE DOOR MADE A GRINDING SOUND, OPENED, FELL OFF IT'S TRACKS AND CONTINUED TO OPEN SCRAPING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VAN AND HANGING BY ONLY THE CABLE WHEN IT STOPPED. FROM LOOKING ON THE INTERNET & FROM TALKING TO A HONDA SERVICE REP, THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH HONDA HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE. THE SERVICE PERSONS' ONLY COMMENT WAS THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HONDA PLANS TO DO ABOUT THIS KNOWN DEFECT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE? WOULDN'T IT MAKE SENSE TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE A MAJOR INJURY AND LARGE LAWSUIT?

WHILE STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT, WHILE OPENING THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR THE ENTIRE DOOR JUMPED OUT OF THE CHANNEL, ALMOST FALLING ON TOP OF MYSELF AND OTHERS AND DAMAGING THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND RENDERING THE DOOR USELESS. THE BEARINGS FOR THE DOOR APPEAR TO BE FACTORY ORIGINALS AND ARE MADE OF A CHEAP PLASTIC THAT HAS BROKEN. THIS APPEARS TO BE DANGEROUS AND COMMON FOR ODYSSEES. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR EVER HAVE A DOOR JUMP OUT OF A TRACK LIKE THIS AND I HAVE HAD ASTRO VANS SINCE THE 1980S, AND STILL CURRENTLY OWN A 2002 THAT HAS NEVER HAD SUCH AN ISSUE. SLIDING DOORS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SPRING OUT OF TRACKS THIS WAY OR USE SUCH EASILY BROKEN, UNRELIABLE PARTS.

ALL THE SUDDEN SINCE L~2 WEEKS, MY CAR HAVE SOLID VSA SIGN ON DASH BOARD THAT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME..... I SHAW RECALL ON THE YEAR MODEL BUT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED....I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON?....AS OF NOW MY CAR RUNS OK-NO ISSUES....

SOFT BRAKES. I BLED THE BRAKES, PUT NEW BRAKE PADS ROTORS AND BLED THE BRAKES AGAIN SAME PROBLEM. THESE ARE THE SOFTEST BRAKES THAT I'VE EVER FELT IN A VEHICLE. I BOUGHT A 2015 HONDA ACCORD AND THE BRAKES ON THAT FEEL LIKE THEY'RE HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO THIS HONDA ODYSSEY. THESE BRAKES ARE TERRIBLE AND I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA MINIVAN BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY MANY HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HONDA SAYS ITS NORMAL.

THE 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE REAR HATCH SUDDENLY FELL ON MY BACK & SHOULDER WHEN LEANED IN TO GET BAGS FROM THE TRUNK. I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO LIFT THE HEAVY HATCH TO GET OUT. TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO WARRANTY/RECALL AND WILL HAVE TO ORDER THE REPLACEMENT STRUTS. COST FOR PARTS WAS $171.40, PLUS LABOR. CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA RECALL 800-999-1009 AND INFORMED THEM OF THE ISSUE TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE SAFETY PROBLEM. HONDA OF AMERICA REGIONAL MANAGER BASED OUT OF CA, SETH CALLED BACK (7/20/18) WHO SAID THIS AN OLD VAN THAT IS LONG OUT OF WARRANTY AND IMPLIED NORMAL WEAR & TEAR ISSUE. WHEN WE SAID THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM ON 2008 & 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY MODELS, WAS TOLD OUR VIN # IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL EVEN-THOUGH IT APPEARED TO US TO BE SAME PROBLEM. TOLD THERE IS NOTHING HONDA CAN DO. BEING A LIFE LONG OWNER OF HONDA VEHICLES PAST AND PRESENT, I DID NOT EXPECT SUCH APATHY AND DISAPPOINTED BY HONDA'S LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CONCERN FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, WE WERE NOT AWARE THAT THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE. AT MINIMUM, SAFETY NOTICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT TO ALL 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS TO MAKE THEM AWARE AS THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF NORMAL WEAR &TEAR REQUIRING REPLACEMENT.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE MANUAL REAR TAILGATE GAS-CHARGED LIFT STRUTS/STAYS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING THE REAR TAILGATE TO FALL ON THE OCCUPANT WITH SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT AND VELOCITY, CAUSING MINOR HEAD INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INSPECTED ROUGHLY 2 WEEKS PRIOR AND NO SIGNS OF IMMINENT FAILURE WERE DETECTED. NO SAFETY MECHANISM EXISTS TO PREVENT THE TAILGATE FROM FALLING IN THE EVENT OF LIFT SUPPORT FAILURE.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE LIFT GATE WOULD NOT STAY UP WHEN OPENED MANUALLY.

THE PROBLEM THAT CREATED THE UNSAFE CONDITION WAS UNINTENTIONAL SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE TO COMPLETE THE STOP WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE 2008 ODYSSEY WAS GOING VERY SLOW (JUST MADE A RIGHT TURN ON ROAD) IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, FOR THE HOUSE WE WERE VISITING WAS ON THE CORNER. WE THEN TURNED ANOTHER RIGHT TO PARK IN A PRIVATE PARKING AREA. IMMEDIATELY BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD WHILE THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND SOUNDING VERY LOUD. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES (LURCHES) FORWARD WHILE IMMEDIATELY GOING OVER A RAILROAD TIE (ABOUT 7 INCHES HIGH), GOING UP IN THE AIR (ALMOST ROLLING), THEN STRIKING A TREE WHICH SLOWED THE CAR DOWN. DESPITE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE ODYSSEY KEPT REVVING AND THRUSTING FORWARD EVEN AFTER STRIKING THE TREE. THE IMPACT OF HITTING THE TREE WAS VERY HARD, AND THE ACCIDENT LEFT 2 OF THE PASSENGERS WITH SEATBELT IMPRINTS ON THE NECK AND CHEST. THE MINIVAN FINALLY STOPPED BECAUSE THE DAMAGE WAS SEVERE, INCLUDING A BURNING SMELL AND FLUID LEAKAGE FROM THE CAR. WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND GOT WORD THAT OUR ODYSSEY WAS TOTALED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

15MAY2018. IN A SLOW TRAFFIC, I FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION ON THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. WHILE TURNING ON AGAIN, THE ENGINE STARTS UP, BUT DIES AGAIN. A RED WARNING FLASHES SHOWING BATTERY AND OIL SYMBOLS. THE SAME REPEATED . VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC. WHEN THE MECHANIC STARTED, ENGINE RUNS FINE. MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSTICS DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DROVE BACK HOME 60 MILES AWAY. NO ISSUES. FEARING FOR MY LIFE, IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ON HIGHWAY.

BRAKE PEDDLE GOES TO FLOOR BEFORE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED.

THE ALARM WENT ON AT AROUND 2AM AND KEPT ON GOING. SWITCHED IF OFF USING KEY FOB. CHECKED ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS AND NOTHING WAS OPEN. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES IT STARTED GOING OFF AGAIN BY ITSELF. AS I WAS WATCHING AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE ALARM TO GO OFF. THE SAME THING REPEATED OVER SEVERAL NIGHTS AND THIS BECAME AN ISSUE FOR US AND NEIGHBOR'S. FROM THEN ON, I HAVE STARTED TAKING OUT THE HORN FUSE WHEN PARKING. AS THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO, I HAVE GIVEN AN APPROXIMATE DATE BELOW. I AM HAVING THIS CHECKED BY A DEALER, THOUGH I DOUBT THEY CAN FIND THE CAUSE AS THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY. THIS HAS HOWEVER BECOME A MAJOR HEADACHE.

I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATES OF WHEN THIS STARTED, BUT THE ODYSSEY STARTED CONSUMING ENOUGH OIL AROUND 2011 THAT I HAD TO ADD IT BETWEEN CHANGES. THEN IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN SMELL THE OIL BURNING AND SOMETIMES THE EXHAUST IS GRAY, A DEAD-TELL OF BURNING OIL. NOW IT WILL NOT PASS SMOG AS OF DEC 2017. WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE SMOKING, I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE LAWSUIT AND SETTLEMENT - WE NEVER GOT ANY INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT ABOUT THE EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION AND OUR VAN COULD BE FIXED BY HONDA, EVEN BACK WHEN IT WAS JUST USING A LOT OF OIL, BUT NOT SMOKING VISIBLY YET. NOW WE HAVE TO GET IT FIXED TO PASS CA SMOG, BUT HONDA IS MAKING US GO THROUGH MULTIPLE 1000 MILE CONSUMPTION TESTS TO PROVE THERE IS A PROBLEM DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN SEE AND SMELL THE BURNING OIL IN ADDITION TO THE EXCESS OIL USAGE. THIS PROBLEM IS A LOT WIDER THAN HONDA HAS ADMITTED TO, AND THEY DID NOT NOTIFY ALL OWNERS ABOUT THE LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT BECAUSE WE NEVER GOT A CARD, DESPITE GETTING NOTICES ABOUT OTHER WARRANTY RECALLS, ETC. I NOTED THAT THIS STARTED IN 2011, BUT IT'S ONGOING, GETTING WORSE AND CULMINATING WITH FAILING SMOG TESTING IN 2017 FOR BURNING OIL.

THERE WAS A PREVIOUS LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA FOR HONDA ACCORDS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE A 08 ODYSSEY THAT'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND IT GOT SO BAD I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW MOTOR. I WENT TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP BACK IN NOVEMBER AND LAST MONTH WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL WAS BONE DRY. HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE IF IT'S NOT BURNING OR LEAKING OIL? HONDA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM YET REFUSED ME ANY HELP AND TOLD ME I HAVE TO BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ON TOP OF REPLACING THE MOTOR ON MY OWN. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS I FOUND ONLINE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AND SAME PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THEY KNOW ABOUT IT AND ARE KEEPING UP WITH HAVING TO CONSTANTLY ADD OIL, WHERE I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY I WAS DRIVING IT WITH NO OIL FOR ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW LONG. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND ITS NOT FAIR THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE. I'M A SINGLE MOM, 2 SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS, I DON'T HAVE OVER 3000 TO REPAIR A MOTOR THAT BROKE BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS NEEDS TO BE HEARD AND WE NEED TO GET HONDA TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE'S GONNA BE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GONNA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA IS A CROOKED DEALERSHIP AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. NOW I'M SITTING HERE STUCK WITH A VAN WHICH I PURCHASED WITH MY SON'S DISABILITY MONEY BTW, WITH A BAD MOTOR CAUSE OF A MISTAKE HONDA

ENGINE DAMAGE

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR JUMPED TRACK AND BROKE OFF DURING NORMAL OPERATIONS. VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AND PASSENGERS HAD EXITED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN DEFENDER SL TIRES, SIZE: R65/R16/235 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (HARDIN COUNTY HONDA, 5608 NORTH DIXIE HIGHWAY, ELIZABETHTOWN, KY 42701) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000. THE DOT NUMBER AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

"TAKATA RECALL" I GOT GAS LEAK SUDDENLY.

THE CAR KEEPS GIVING A "TIGHTEN FUEL CAP" WARNING..I HAVE CHECKED AND REPLACED THE FUEL CAP WITH A HONDA GEM FUEL CAP AND I STILL GET THE WARNING...I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS A SEAL ON THE FUEL TANK/PUMP ASSEMBLY THAT PERISHES WHICH MUST SURELY BE A FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. THIS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE CAR IS AT IDLE OR MOVING AND STAYS ON FAIRLY CONSTANTLY.

FOLLOWING A SERVICE IN WHICH MY TIMING BELT, SERPENTINE BELT, WATER PUMP, AND POWER STEERING PUMP WERE CHANGED, THE TENSIONER BOLT WAS SHEARED OFF TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED, THE MECHANIC REPORTED THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BEFORE. THE SECOND TIME THAT THE BOLT WAS SHEARED OFF (BOTH EVENTS WERE WITHIN A WEEK OF THE SERVICING), THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD DONE RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMED TO HAVE HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS. AS STATE ABOVE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING, ONCE ON A RAMP, ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AND ONCE TURNING RIGHT ONTO A MAIN ROAD FROM A PARKING LOT.

THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR CAME OFF THE TRACK AND FELL OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WAS BEING OPENED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN IT BECAME DISLODGED FROM THE CAR'S TRACK. I SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE WHILE WITHIN THE VEHICLE, BUT THE DOOR STILL FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR TO EXIT AND ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE LOCK WOULD TURN WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE DOOR, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PEARSON HONDA, 14001 HULL STREET RD, MIDLOTHIAN, VA, 23112), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REMOVE THE PANEL AND ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE PANEL, BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT DID NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

MY VAN HAS SOFT BRAKES. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. FROM ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT IS QUITE NORMAL FOR ODYSSEY. WHEN I CHECKED WITH HONDA CUSTOMER CARE, THEY AID THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY FIXED IT AND SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. OBVIOUSLY THE FIX THAT THEY DID IS NOT WORKING NOW. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VAN WITH WIFE AND TWO KIDS. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE FOR THIS ISSUE?

VSA AND ENGINE INDICATORS KEEP COMING ON. NOW I'M TOLD I HAVE TO REPLACE VSA MODULATOR FOR $1700

SUDDEN ACCELERATION: MY WIFE WAS TURNING THE CAR AROUND IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING WHILE IN REVERSE. MY WIFE PRESSED THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. IT STARTED SLIPPING IN PLACE UNTIL IT HIT THE FENCE. MY WIFE CONTINUED TO PRESS THE BRAKE UNTIL THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO NORMAL. MY WIFE INDICATED THAT SHE HAD EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR ISSUE LAST WINTER WHILE DRIVING ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD, BUT THE ACCELERATION STOPPED QUICKLY. AT THAT TIME, SHE THOUGHT THE CAR JUST SLIPPED DUE TO THE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THIS VEHICLE IS PEELING OFF IN DROVES. LARGE AREAS OF VEHICLE ARE DOWN TO BARE METAL ON BOTH ROOF AND HOOD OF VEHICLE. HONDA SHOULD REPAINT THESE VEHICLES AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS.

2008 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L WITHOUT POWER LIFT GATE. THE REAR HATCH STRUTS PART # 74820SHJA01 FAILED IN A DANGEROUS WAY. THEY WERE WORKING PERFECT THE TIME BEFORE WITH NOW SIGNS OF ANY LEAKING OR WEAKNESS AND THE VERY NEXT TIME THEY FAILED CAUSING THE REAR DOOR TO SLAM DOWN IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. I CHECKED THE VIN FOR THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 12V062000 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE11034 DATE FEB 16, 2012 STRUCTURE: BODY: HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE: HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS BUT STATE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT I FIND IT STRANGE THAT THE FAILURE ACTED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE RECALL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT RUNNING LIKE IT HAS BEEN AND THEN IT GOT WORSE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO THEN BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN FOR SERVICE THE OIL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. I DROVE THE CAR STRAIGHT TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THERE IS NO EXTERNAL OIL LEAK THEREFORE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT OIL IS LEAKING INSIDE THE ENGINE AND BURNING AND THAT IS WHY THE SMOKE IS COMING FROM BY TAILPIPE HOWEVER THE LIGHT INDICATOR WAS A LITTLE TO LATE BECAUSE THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE AND NOW THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NO TELLING WHAT ELSE. THE DEALER NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS A LAWSUIT INDICATING THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL SO I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME IT BROKE DOWN ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, HAD TO TOW IT HOME. CALLED HONDA MANUFACTURER AND MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER THAT CLASS ACTION EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2008 ODYSSEY. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE SITTING IN MY GARAGE THAT DOES NOT RUN AND HAS NO RESALE VALUE AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HONDA IS GOING TO HELP OUT IN ANY WAY. IF YOU OWN A 2008-2013 HONDA YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK YOUR OIL LEVEL REGULARLY BECAUSE THE LIGHT INDICATORS OR NOT VERY RELIABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A FUEL STATION, THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND ALL THE DOORS LOCKED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. A BABY WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN ALMOST 90% DEGREE WEATHER. THE CONTACT CALLED THE POLICE AND THEY BROKE THE TAILGATE WINDOW GLASS TO PREVENT GLASS FROM FALLING ON THE BABY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF. IT WAS ON ONE MINUTE AND THEN THE NEXT IT COMPLETELY FELL OFF. WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT AND I WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR. I PULLED ON IT AND IT JUST POPPED RIGHT OFF. AS A RESULT IT SCRATCHED UP THE SIDE OF MY CAR VERY BADLY.

I HAD JUST TAKEN MY CHILDREN TO A WATER PARK. UPON RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE AT THE PARK'S CLOSING, I OPENED THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, AND WHEN I GAVE IT ANOTHER HARD PULL, IT CAME COMPLETELY OFF. THE CENTER SIDE ROLLER HAD COME COMPLETELY OFF TRACK. I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE DOOR UP WITH SOME DIFFICULTY, BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE SIDE ROLLER BACK IN TRACK. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE SIDE ROLLER APPARATUS FROM THE DOOR, GET THE UPPER ROLLER SOMEWHAT BACK ON TRACK, AND GET THE DOOR CLOSED. OTHERWISE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED. AS HEAVY AS THAT DOOR WAS, IT COULD HAVE REALLY HURT MY CHILD IF IT HAD FALLEN INWARD ON HER, AND I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT HURT ME. VEHICLE WAS OBVIOUSLY STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

THE PAINT HAS BEEN PEELING AND FLAKING FOR YEARS NOW AND IT GOT WORSE NOW. THE CLEAR COAT IS NO LONGER THERE. THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE BLUE COLOR, BUT NOT THE OTHERS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THERE. PAINT IS PAINT. COLOR IS DIFFERENT ONLY WHEN THE COLOR PIGMENT IS ADDED. IS THERE A RECALL FOR BLUE, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR ALL OTHERS. I BELIEVE THE COLOR (WHITE) OF MY VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE PERIOD AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL FOR IT. THANKS.

MY VSA LIGHT CAME ON AND IS AN ADDED FEATURE FOR STABILITY TO PREVENT OVERTURNING, THE COST TO REPLACE THE MODULE IS OVER 1200 DOLLARS. MY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL HAS HAD RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN # PULLS UP NO RECALLS. I HAVE TWIN TODDLERS AND FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE I WOULD LIKE REPAIRED ON THE MANUFACTURES SIDE, NOT OUT OF MY POCKET, THANKS

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. AT TIMES, THERE ARE VERY SCARY SOUNDS COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THIS IS GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND MY LOCAL DEALER REFUSED TO SERVICE IT UNDER THE WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE GRADUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

AFTER DRIVING HOME IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM FOUND LARGE CHUNKS OF PAINT MISSING FROM THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK TO A PAINT SHOP WHO SAID IT IS PAINT FAILURE. CAN SEE PAINT BUBBLING UP NEXT TO THE PEELED AREAS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, ERROR CODE P3497. ENGINE BURNS MORE OIL THAN NORMAL. HONDA ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN 11-033, YET REFUSE TO FIX THE CAR AT THEIR EXPENSE. I GET THE USUAL RUN AROUND OF "ADD MORE OIL EVERY NOW AND AGAIN."

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ON HONDA ODYSSEY 2008 EXL - SAME RUN-AROUND WITH HONDA STATING 1 QT OIL FOR EVERY 1400-1500 MILES IS "NORMAL". INFORMED DEALERSHIP OF CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AND THEN THEY INITIATED A CONTROLLED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHICH JUST ENDED RECENTLY. AWAITING RESPONSE FROM HONDA CORP REGARDING NEXT STEPS AS SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR VCM DID NOT CORRECT.

SRS AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT FAILED. WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR APPEARS PERIODICALLY, BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR WILL NOT GO OFF OF THE DASHBOARD AND WHEN MY HUSBAND RAN THE SCAN ON MY CAR, NOTHING CAME UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME NOW AND IN OCTOBER I WAS IN A FRONT END ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF, BUT THE ICON IS STILL ON, ON MY DASH. THE ICON IS ON AT ALL TIMES BUT THERE ARE DAYS WHEN IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL.

REAR PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY FILLS HALF WAY WITH WATER. HAD IT REPLACED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO AT MY EXPENSE, HAPPNEDED AGAIN. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW.

I HAVE A POWER STEERING PROBLEM, I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT'S VERY HARD AND IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS! I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A POWER STEERING PUMP THIS WAS DECEMBER 13TH 2016 I NOTICED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE POWER STEERING ISSUE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED VERY SOON THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE ISSUE! IT WILL DEFINITELY BE REPLACED BECAUSE I HAVE INSPECTION COMING UP BUT IT SURELY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED! *TR

VEHICLE PURCHASED IN APRIL OF 2013. REAR TAILGATE GAS STRUTS HAD TO BE REPLACED IN MAY 2014 DUE TO COMPLETE FAILURE. SAME OEM WAS REINSTALLED BY DEALER AND HAS FAILED AGAIN LESS THAN 18 MONTHS LATER.
