This vehicle has left/right electric sliding passenger doors. The doors have begun to open and close on their own. It has done so while the vehicle is in motion creating a fearful situation. The doors have also opened on their own while parked and unattended. Fingers have been pinched trying open or close the doors manually. This problem has been going on for months. Thier are numerous internet entries about this problem.
Interior water leak from roof panel side curtain airbag. This is not an accident. I bought this vehicle on June 28,2016 from a dealer. It is a used car that is not warranty from the dealer. But when it is raining, water leak from roof panel side curtain airbag.
Sun roof exploded while driving down the highway going 65 mph. The sun roof was closed and all other windows were closed. The temperature was in the mid 50S with light rain, visibility good. There was no known reason for the explosion - nothing overhead, no vehicle traveling in front of us.
One of the passenger sliding doors no longer opens. It will start to open & then close as if there is something in the way. There is nothing in the way. Inoperable at his time.
Transmission. This vehicle has had two transmissions in the past 3 months. For some reason they keep going up. I have had multiple repair companies tell me that the Honda Odyssey has the worst transmissions. The transmission went up on me while on vacation with my family and left us stranded 4 1/2 hours from home. I would not recommend a Honda Odyssey.
While stopped in traffic, engine began hard acceleration and front tires began screeching. This occurred 4X within 10 days. With each experience there was no warning. It was fortunate that foot was on brake pedal at that time.
Hi my complaint with this 2006 Honda Odyssey is the front and rear motor mount broke frequently and are absolutely very expensive every user of this van have the same complaint about this van.
The rear trunk door does not unlock with key remote or from door unlock switch. The door does not have a key hole or manual unlock provision. This is a safety hazard in case of accident as you cannot open the trunk by any other mechanism as it will not unlock electronically.
Rear automatic door would open then slam down a bit then reopen, slam, reopen and then on third try slam shut. My wife was under the door the first time it happened and the door slammed on her. Now I see a recall of 08,09 models for the same problem. Had to have rear struts replaced. Need to expand recall.
At less than 80,000 my Honda Odyssey have been diagnosed as having a broken rear engine mount causing vibration/ratlling noise. Several Honda Odyssey van owners have similar complaint.
About 1 month ago my 2006 Honda Odyssey started making low frequency sound when accelerating from a complete stop. After visiting the dealer I was told that rear motor mount has to be replaced at a cost of $1000. I did research on this issue and it appears that many 2005 and later Odyssey have the same issue which points to a manufacturer defect. Honda is refusing to replace the part even though their representative told me that they are aware of the problem.
Honda Odyssey rear tailgate struts failed completely, causing the rear tailgate to "freefall" with no support. Luckily, no one was under the gate when it initially collapsed, but it could have caused serious injury. After researching the problem, I've seen that Honda is voluntarily recalling 2005 models for the same problem, but not the 2006 we own.
My Honda oddyssey when I take a curve and I need to stop, the brakes are so soft and my van take too long to stop. The dealer said that was unable to reply this problem, so they don't do anything to fix the problem and I still with that problem, I don't know who can help me to make my dealer fix my problem, I feel is not safe
When the car came to a hard stop, the brake made a craking sound. Once this happenned, it continued everytime the brake was used. The brake did not work as good as it did before, I can notice it took longer to stop. At the dealership, drum surface was recoded. The van had 3/4 of the brake left and the drum just needed a resurfacing coding... it only takes one hard brake for the problem to come back all over again. Once back the brake does not holds on the tire like it did previously. I have gone back to the dealership, and they told me the oddessy has a lot of problems with the brake and it is very common between oddessy drives. The problem keepes coming back, and it does not make me any safer because it is a common problem for the oddessy drivers.
2006 Honda Odyssey with a broken air conditioning condenser, which was blowing cold air at all settings. Consumer states that dealer stated that this replacement would not be covered by warranty. Dealer stated that it was a road hazard failure. The consumer stated the condenser was damaged by a rock.
We own a 2006 Honda Odyssey and a 2004 Honda Accord. The 2006 Honda Odyssey's air conditioning stopped working. We took it to the local dealership and were informed that it was a hole in our A/C condenser. We were told it would be around $700 to repair and was not covered by warranty. I discovered that the A/C condenser is exposed at the bottom of the bumper in the opening of the bumper. I proceeded to tell the dealer that this is a design issue and should be taken care of. The dealer told me to contact american Honda because that is out of their hands. I contacted Honda and after two and half weeks they responded back by saying this is a goodwill and they will cover at half at the warranty rate. I agreed after suffering thru 3 weeks of no A/C in the dead of heat. I started doing some research because my concern stayed the same, this is a design flaw and will happen again. To my surprise this is a very common problem with most later model Honda's. the design must be similar in all of the models, because the CR-V, Odyssey, civic, Accord and so on are having the same issues. Honda needs to step up to the plate and recall these vehicles and put a fix to the grills so the condensers are better protected. It appears everyone is getting the same story from Honda and when you call they act like you are the first to have this happen, when in fact it is becoming a wide spread problem and costing consumer major dollars. This is my third Honda and probably my last after the way the whole situation is going down. Honda is sticking their head in the sand and hoping to ride the storm out. It appears also that dealerships have been rehearsed on what to tell consumers, because it is a common theme when you read other complaints.
