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!

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 internal computer. I started the engine back up and noticed immediately the error was gone which makes sense since the computer was reset. When I pushed the button to open the passenger electric door, the door opened normally without any hesitation of movement. I am now very concerned about the integrity of Honda motor corporation. If help can be given, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Headsets won't work at all only static sound. I heard is a common problem but Honda doesn't admit it nor fix it for free. I think Honda should recall this problem.

I went out to unlock my van and it wouldn't unlock. Thought the battery in key fob was dead. Found out that the delay wiper setting, rear wiper, high beam lights, turning signals. Door locks, washer fluid, outside temp display, warning lights, like the seat belt and the one that tells you that you left your keys in the ignition, are not working. Have checked all fuses. Need help please.

My wife had a doctor's appointment and was waiting in the office. She has parked the car in parking lot. After sometime all of a sudden car's alarm went off. All from doctor's office rushed out to parking lot to see what happened. She noticed some smoke coming out under the hood. And within seconds car caught fire and burnt. Whole front of the car burnt completely. Insurance company has called it a total loss. I'm still puzzled to figure it out why this has happened. Car was parked and engine was off. Car was maintained as per the Honda's guidelines. There were no problems or warning signs what so ever. It was running perfectly fine. Had only 76000 miles on it. And strongly believe many years of driving left in it. We were pleased with the performance of it over the years. I'd ask NHTSA to look in to the incidence and have Honda contact me and reimburse for our loss which is not at all our fault.

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.

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 Honda to them, that had been brought in to their Honda service department, and had this locksmith company do the actual repairs.

As I was driving alone around 30 miles per hour my air condition was blowing cold air and all of a sudden out of no where it started blowing hot air and I thought I may need some freon, but since it was close to the end of summer last year I figured I could hold on until summer of this year. I finally took it in to have it recharged and was told that my air compressor was not working. There was no sign at all and I am wondering why all of a sudden it just stop working.

2005 Honda Odyssey. Consumer states problems with door alarm the consumer stated the alarm sounded on two separate occasions. In both instances, there was no light on the display dashboard and the door was physically opened with wind noise. The first repair was not a success as the problem continued. When the consumer returned to the dealer a month later, it appeared the problem was fixed. The consumer stated three years later, the problem resurfaced again. While driving down the highway, the alarm began to sound with no dashboard display. When the consumer turned the steering wheel to the right, the door opened and the door display illuminated. The consumer had to manually close the door and lock it leaving the master switch off.

My 05 Odyssey's lights in the odometer were flashing on and off. Sometimes, they just flash. Sometimes, they flash and all the gauge, speed, RPM, temp, and fuel dropped briefly before they go back up again. When they were doing that (dropped) the vehicle did not jerk. A couple of months ago the engine light came on, but a few days later it disappeared. Then it came on again. I used an obd II reader to read it and it gave me a code about the ECM/PCM module. I bought and replaced both relays but to this day (3/21/11) the flashing is still not resolved. Today everything flashes and it seems like all the electronics in the vehicle (including all the gauges) were down for about two seconds while the car was on the freeway going about 65-70 mph.

The vehicle engine is shutting off with no warning. There have been approximately 6 instances of the vehicle being operated and then the engine will cut off. The first incident occurred in a parking lot when in reverse. There have been 3 incidents at low speed, while making turns, and 2 incidents while traveling at speed (one at 40 mph and one at 70 mph). The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on 3 occasions but the dealer has been unable or unwilling to address the issue because there are no codes sent to the on-board computer. The most recent incident on 3/6/2011 was while traveling at 70 mph on the interstate highway. We referred the service writer to NHTSA campaign id numbers 05V132000 and 07V097000 but he was unwilling to consider that our issue was related to either of these previously noted failures.
