One day after changing engine oil at Honda dealershop last week Monday, there was flickering on dash board after turning the power off. The symptom was getting worse and on Sunday and Monday (yesterday), the car horn honking itself. And yesterday, the dash board power couldn't be turned off when I turned the power switch off (engine off luckily) and the flickering got worse last night. So, I did unplug the battery with a worry of fully drained battery overnight. Today morning, I plug the battery back and get the same issue, and luckily ignite the engine and went to dealer shop again. They did diagnosis and said keyless access control unit needs to be replaced. Here is the summary of the symptoms: Last week flickering dash board with fcw system failed. And honking itself with keeping flickering. Yesterday, I saw error message of "keyless system error". and I went to dealershop in this morning. Here is my speculation: During oil change, there was oil spilling, which causes shorting of circuitry (or technician accidently hit some parts inside). It causes frequent on/off of electronic system, ending up breaking the keyless access control unit. The dealer didn't say anything, but charged me to replace the parts since my car is out of warranty.

Takata recall my Honda Odyssey is a 2016 model. I took it to the dealer when I discovered the wires were broken to the sliding electric door. I was told it would be $1500 to fix. I inquired about this because a mini van is built to allow the doors to easily be opened and closed. The dealership said that they had seen many complaints about the door regarding this model.they turned off the door, so that I couldn't open it. I told them I would call Honda headquarters and they said nothing could be done. I essentiallly had to turn off the ability to automatically open the door when a stop is made otherwise a loud beep would emit. This is very unsafe beacuse I am hard of hearing. When it is time to get out of the car I turn the automatic back on, so that the kids can easily exit from one door. I open the left door manually which is very hard. I live on a hill, so I open the door and let kids in but the door slams shut! how unsafe is that, a door slams into a child because I live on a hill and am forced to use the manual setting. Nobody got hurt, but someone could have. A few days later, I was with my family and we were all in the car, the doors were in the manual setting and thd door didn't close all the way. I am in motion and the door opens. Luckily everybody was secured in their seatbelts, but we were just getting moving. Would if my child was unbuckled and the door opened? my kid would fly out! how unsafe! this needs to be fixed!!!!

The passenger side sliding door consistently fails to close. It will start to close, and then hesitate and stop as if something were in the door to stop it, when nothing is. We typically have to turn the power off and close it manually to make it shut. Also, when putting the van into reverse, the backup camera screen often goes black, and the only way to get off of the black screen is to shut the van off completely and restart it. When using the auto-up feature on the front driver window, the window will sometimes go back down as soon as you let go of the button. You have to hold the button until it completely closes. When you have the rear entertainment going through the main speakers and you attempt to change the volume with the steering wheel controls, it'll actually change the source that the sound is coming from. I think I've listed everything, but they're all electrical problems obviously. All of them except for volume issue happen randomly. The volume problem happens every single time. All of this happens whether the van is in motion or stationary.

Takata recall I purchased a new Honda Odyssey 2016, on January 18 of 2017. In san jose, ca. When I first received my new Honda, I noticed that the floor carpeting was not finished at the edges and started unraveling soon after. Then after several weeks (first week of February 2017) the backup camera screen began to degrade. The screen has what looks like burned spots that radiate into discoloration of mixed colors of blue, red, green, orange, purple and covers half of the screen. In many instances the screen is un-viewable, other times, the defect is just a few spots that will expand to half of the screen. Nonetheless, it is a defect in the display. Since my Honda has a backup camera for safety, this is a safety issue. I have let Honda leadership know multiple times of the problem through multiple channels of support. If the Honda screen goes out while I'm backing up and someone is injured, Honda will be complicit as they were notified of the safety defect. By the second week of may, the middle door handle paint began flaking off without any physical damage, and continues to flake away more. I have spoken with two Honda case managers. It seems that they believe their job is to convince me that Honda produces sub quality cars, which I am reluctant to believe due to my previous experience with my Accord, and that the defects represent normal Honda quality. What I have been told by case managers is the following: The carpet not being finished and unraveling is a standard feature of the Odyssey. The backup camera screen defect is normal for the Odyssey. I have received multiple excuses as to why the camera is defective and how it is normal for the Odyssey to have this defect of not being able to see the full screen. None of the excuses that have been given are the same. Everyone tells me a different excuse of why I can't see the screen, and why it's normal.

Automatic windows, sun roof, back door open by themselves, and stay open; happened several nights. Extreme danger exists if driving. Night photos of windows, etc. Opening not available. This has happened several times while parked at our house: Once on the flat road in front of our house and two times on our homes hillside parking (van facing upward slightly). In park, the windows and doors of all of our cars are always closed as we live on the coast and there's no telling when it going to rain.

Hi, I believe that there are two defects for Odyssey 2016 1. low gas warning indicator is too hard to get noticed 2. no audible noise when running low on gas. It is very dangerous that if running out of gas on the road. Suddenly lose of power is very dangerous, very easy to get the car crash on the road. And it happened to me today. Thanks god, it happened when I'm on a local road not the free way. But I hope it never happened again to all other Odyssey owner in the future. That's the reason I filed this case. Fuel level meter/low gas indicator is on the right bottom of the instrument board. But the light is mostly blocked by the wheel with the way I sit so I hardly ever tell when I'm running on empty. (see the attached picture). And there is no audible noise when your running low on gas. There is no way that the driver can get warning is he already on the way to danger. I know the driver should check the gas before moving the vehicle. But all the car I drove before have sound alarm/beep to remind me every time when I move the car, and also the low fuel warning light is in the center of the board. It very easy to get the notice of the situation of low gas. But Odyssey 2016 placed the gas indicate in the place that hardly to see. Even vehicles in the 80S had that feature. Don't know why even vehicles in 2016 lose this very important safety related feature.
