CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007-2009 was, at one point, the best selling minivan in the United States. But 2007 owners got the short end of that deal.
Peeling paint, a whining steering pump and an easily breakable A/C condenser are all top complaints about the 2007 model year. And anyone who doesn't think a busted minivan A/C is a big deal has never taken a summer road trip with kids.

The vsa light check engine light and fuel light here and there keeps coming on I just had this vehicle for 4 years already I just had the engine oil leak fixed I changed oil every 6 months. Also had the alternator and starter changed as well as battery replaced. Is there any possibility the software on the vehicle needs to be updated?
When I go to pass or accelerate my vehicles brake feel they are being activated or something is misfiring. This happens every time I drive my vehicle. There is a recall on the vsa for 2007 Honda Odyssey already but mine is not included in this recall but I think differently. After this happens while I'm driving the vsa light stays illuminated which makes me presume it has something to do with the recall. What do I need to do to verify that mine is indeed not a part of this recall or have it fixed properly under this recall?.
A vsa with a triangle warning sign is on in my dashboard, I scare the ABS brakes will not work properly and it doesn't work the vsa switch on the left side of the dash neither to switch on or off, I check tires and looks ok the pressure of each, is any recall about this problem with this Honda odissey '07?
While driving my 2007 model Honda odessey, on June 5th 2018 without any warning signs, vehicle shut off, dash went off. Tried to apply brake, it didn't work. Somehow managed to put the park gear to pull over to a left turn line to avoid collision with other vehicles on the road. 911 was alerted since the vehicle was blocking the left turn line and was not able to even open the door to come out of the van. After few minutes I was able to turn it on and there was no engine sign. No injuries or damage was sustained. I continued driving the van home. After two weeks the engine sign came up and we took it to the Honda authorized dealership. They couldn't find anything wrong which causes this engine shutdown abruptly. They were unable to duplicate the problem. After two days the battery went down. So we replaced the battery with a new one. On July 21, my cousin was driving the van and the same happened again. He pulled over to the side and after few attempts it started again and he rode back and parked at his house. On July 24th, we tried to turn it on but the battery was down. We jump started it on 27th and took it to the same dealership. They kept it doing several tests until July 31st and found nothing wrong with it. They ok'd us to take the vehicle since they couldn't duplicate the issue. We are very much concerned to ride it again fear of safety to our own life and the other innocent fellows on the road. We reported the Honda customer service and they suggested to take it to another dealership. They are not willing to take any responsibility if something happens when we drive the van. We searched online and found few others has reported the same kind of incidents for the same model but different year. I am requesting NHTSA investigate on this issue and give your recommendations
Vsa light came on then the car will not go over 2000 rpms and the steering gets hard. The brakes go to floor making hard brake feel. This happened on the interstate.
The vsa control went out which is a $1500 repair. The Honda Odyssey has been recalled overseas but not in the U.S. I called Honda and they only gave me a 25% discount on the part. Even though this model has been identified as a recall. Surprised at Honda.
The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. While driving, the vsa warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the brake pedal felt "spongy" when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (victory Honda of sandusky, 2301 hayes ave, sandusky, oh 44870) where it was diagnosed that the vsa module failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired due to the part cost. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13V500000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.
Takata recall, I took my go to walmart to change the engine oil and filter and the guy that changed, notice that the tank was leaking fuel from the top of the tank, I have let me know what was happening so, I decided to took the go with my mechanic. I used a camera to see on the very top of the tank and I saw the fuel leak coming from the top inside of the tank, he said it comes from the pump fuel system, so I see why my full tank doesn't get me the miles that it suppose to get by gallon. That's why we always notice the van that smells like gas and parking when we can see the gas on the floor. I was thinking it was water coming that from the air condition.. I'm worry about the combination of heat and gas that can cause fire. I live in Texas and here the tempeture is really hot.

I received a letter detailing the reacall on my 2007 Honda oddysey' S vsa module. I brought in my vehicle to have the problem fixed. The vehicle did not have any observable issues, before I brought it in to the racine, wi Honda dealership. After the work was preformed I observed that when the vehicles headlights were on, the cruise control, and rear brake lights were no longer operational, and the vsa light would illuminate on the dashboard after the light switch had been engaged for 7 literal minutes. This issue only occurs when the headlight switch is engaged. I have brought the vehicle back to the dealership on 4 seperate occasions, and they have been unwilling, and unable to fix the problem. When they observed the problem with my vehicle, the Honda mechanic says that the error codes that are showing up are impossible to be occuring, and that he's never seen anything like it before. They then try to upsell me, on various components on the vehicle, that have no observable defects. I purchased this vehicle because I have three young children, and was under the impression that Honda oddysey' S were reliable. After getting pulled over several times by local law enforcement for driving without brake lights at night, I have been forced to park the vehicle. I brought the vehicle to the kenosha Honda dealership, and they said that they would not perform the necessary repairs, since the recall work was done at another dealership. As a single father of three, I am beyond frustration with Honda's indifference to this issue, and "catch us if you can" attitude. Because of the defective remedy to the vsa recall, I am unable to drive this vehicle which I still owe $6000 on ($315 monthly). Because of this issue the vehicle only has a resale value of about $800, ,and the Toyota dealership said that they were essentially uninterested, in taking this vehicle in as a trade-in. Help!!!
Vsa light stays on. Braking is soft. After hard stop car shuddered and drove rough upon accelerating. Braking is no longer the same as before the light came on.
Honda Odyssey 2007 model is having a recall on vsa with service bulletin 13-098 on malfunction of vsa in the vehicle. My vehicle was performed this recall in 2014. Now my vehicle is started showing "! vsa" orange light on the dash board. Honda of freehold dealer (www.hondaoffreehold.com) performed the diagnostic ($136 charged) and told me that ABS/vsa control unit part number 57110-shj-A61 is bad and need to be replaced. Cost of this part is $1117.50 and the quoted service charge is $256. My vehicle is just completed 37,000 miles. When I search the web for "vsa modulator unit" failure in Odyssey. There are many customers reported the failure of this part. Honda is selling defective parts in their vehicles. This part is very expensive and failed with very less mileage on the vehicle and many of the customers reported failures. Please take an action regarding this defective part in the Honda vehicles. Honda need to pay the part and service for this.
There was a safety recall campaign number 10V098000 for vsa modulator. I went to dealer to fix this recall around in 2014 and now my Odyssey is getting "! vsa" light on dashboard. I checked the code and code is "dtc 66: Vsa pressure sensor inside vsa modulator control unit". dealer is saying vsa modulator is failed and replacement cost is ~$1500. Honda sold defective part on this vehicles and there were many complaints about vsa failures on this vehicles. My Odyssey is only 37,000 mileage. This vsa modulator controls ABS also and we are very concerned about the stability of the vehicle with the failure of this module. Please find the photo of the dtc code read by the auto shop. Fixing this module is very expensive and Honda should pay for selling the defective items which are mainly safety concerns.
(1) dealer performed the recall item vsa update 13-098 on 8/5/15. After that driving home the vsa warning light appeared. (2) came back to dealer on 8/28/15 dealer found codes 61-1 and 66-1, claimed it was nothing to do with the recall and wanted to charge for a diagnostic. However, vsa warning light never came on before the recall update for all time before.
I had no problem w/ the vsa. I received the recall notice and had the part replaced. This Oct,2014 I was driving on us-2 in nw mt on a slushy road when the vsa warning light came on. I brought the vehicle back to Honda. They told me the brake part of the vsa unit was now faulty. They also told me that it wasn't part of the original recall.(replacement cost of this unit was quoted as $1,100 w/O labor !!! ) was this replacement part also defective"? was it incorrectly repaired?? is this a recurring issue with this recall??? who now pays the repair cost" thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
