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.
One owner, perfectly maintained 2007 Odyssey LX. When I shift from park (P) to drive (D) it sounds stomping noise. In this mode if I try to accelerate or push the accelerator, transmission shift rapidly back and forth. The LED light at Drive (D) blinks. If there is no stomping noise it shift without any problem. The LED light at Drive (D) stays steady but blinks sometimes. Each starting, I have to try several times. Can you tell me what causes this? I went to several mechanic but no success. I don't have dashboard red light. Computer is not reading any code.

We are scared to drive that car don't feel safe. Need some information on what to do. Spring Branch Honda is a bad company. The Vin # 5FNRL38078134333 Honda odessey 2007. thank you argelia Marrero
I take my vehicle to the dealership most of the time for my oil change. Not once did they mention the coils would need repair because they were looking rusted or were deteriorating to the point of being useless.
After reading the other complaints about a 07 Honda Odyssey's, I am convinced I have a bad Torque Converter. I bought a used 07 Odyssey from a back lot dealer. Mistake #1. The van was a 1 owner, looked well maintained. After driving it for a few days, I noticed a slight vibration in the steering wheel between 45-50 and 65-70 mph. It also seems like the tranny is shifting gears too quickly and acts sluggish when it does shift over. Then when I brake it seems to "grab" or down shift hard at 20 mph. So I took into a highly reputable transmission shop and they said to have the VSA software recall updated and check back with them to see if it helps. I took it in to a local dealer and had the VSA software recall and a fuel pump recall performed. Now the problem seems to be slightly worse.
The best way I can describe the issue is if you ever drove a manual transmission and you shifted gears too early and it made that slight waning sound while trying to pick up acceleration. If I give it a lot gas, the van shifts better, but with normal slow accelerating you can feel the issues.
Anyone know if Honda is recalling these Torque Converters or will repair them? Anyone know of a reputable warranty company? I bought a warranty through ASC Warranty, but I can't find a lot of information on them.
So mad. I have a 3rd child on the way and we are heading into winter and now I have to worry whether or not this "new to us" vehicle is going to randomly go out on us.
Traveling at 45-55 mph shortly after starting the vehicle - maybe 1-2 miles after starting on the road, the van slams to a near stop. Others here are describing that the brakes activate on their own; however, my wife and I have not considered it a brake problem. We are thinking the van is downshifting all the way to the lowest gear. This has happened 3 times over the past 9 months and the dealer says they cannot replicate the problem and can't find anything wrong. It happened twice in the past 2 weeks, but prior to that, it's been over 6 months since it happened the first time. In all 3 cases, it happened at about 50 mph and shortly after starting on the road - I would say within the first 1-2 miles traveled. I would really like to hear from any of you who have posted in the past if your dealer has offered a solution.

This started in june 2010(37000 miles). First they said the problem is that I was not used to the computer shutting down 3 of the 6 cyl. for gas management. Then I went back one month later and they replaced the tq.. converter. two months later it still makes a loud click when shifting into drive, downshifting, and in high gear it wines/vibrates under a slight load. I went back to dealer , they said that the only noise they heard is normal to the car. I'm going back today to fix this issue or buy a different car not another honda. what happened to honda?
The car would not go forward when i shift from park to drive. the Honda mechanic said it's normal because there is a delay in the drive by wire mechanism. Didn't really care much about this car, it's a lease first and foremost. I just made sure that I made Honda aware of the problem with the car. I'm glad I didn't buy this car. Tried to tell people I know how bad Honda is. Pls. see my complaint about steering problem with the same car.
