I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND SINCE IT WAS FIRST PURCHASED IT HAS BEEN HAND WASHED AND DETAILED. I HAVE NOW ENCOUNTER MY PAINT PEELING IN PLACES WHERE THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND RUST IN PLACES WHERE THERE HAS BEEN DAMAGE AS WELL. IN RESEARCHING THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT FOR THIS CAR. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS FOR THIS. I SPOKE WITH HONDA BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WASN'T THE COLOR THEY RECALLED PREVIOUSLY THEY COULD NOTHING ABOUT IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT AND I AND MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS FOR 15 YEARS YET THERE ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I WOULD LIKE THIS RESOLVED AND BE ABLE TO HAVE MY PAINT REPAIRED BEFORE I HAVE MORE PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY USING POWERED CLOSING MECHANISM. WHEN THE POWER MECHANISM IS TURNED OFF ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE DOOR IS CLOSED MANUALLY BY HAND, IT STAYS CLOSED BUT ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN THE BACK PART OF THE DOOR POPS OPEN. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE BACK OF THE DOOR IS PUSHED CLOSED (AND THE LOCK BUTTON HURRIEDLY LOCKED) THE BACK OF THE DOOR WILL POP OPEN. WHEN IT IS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD/HIGHWAY THE DOOR OPEN LIGHT IS ON, THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED COMPLETELY AND ROAD/HIGHWAY NOISE IS HEARD FROM THE PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR. ON OCCASION, (WHEN TURNING RIGHT, GOING DOWNHILL, GOING OVER CERTAIN BUMPS) THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND THE DOOR WILL "CLOSE" BUT THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY. AS SOON AS THE TURN IS FINISHED, NOT GOING DOWNHILL, OR GO OVER ANOTHER SMALL BUMP, THE DOOR WILL POP OPEN IN THE BACK AND THE LIGHT WILL TURN BACK ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE TRANSPORTED IN THE VEHICLE!

STEERING
THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY. THE PUMP HAD BEEN REPLACED 1 MONTH INTO OWNING THE VAN. THEN IT WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE AND NOT IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. >100K MILES BUT IT HAD BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIME AND THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. IT IS A TIME ISSUE. THE MORE YOU DRIVE IT THE WORSE IT GETS. THERE IS A NOISE AND THE STEERING IS HARD. AT LOW SPEED YOU CAN NOT TURN(PARKING LOTS) OR IT IS VERY HARD TO TURN. WHEN THEY DRIVE IT IN THE PARKING LOT THEY WOULD NOT GET THE NOISE. HONDA TOLD ME TO PROVE THAT THE VAN WAS IN THE SHOP FOR AN ISSUE(THEY PURGE THEIR RECORDS EVERY 3 YEARS). THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE MAKE THEM FIX IT...

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY AT 65-70 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST ALL POWER TO MY VAN. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO COAST TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ARE NOW SAYING IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP (# 14E049000)&(GL14-004). BUT MY VIN# DOES NOT SHOW A RECALL. WHAT CAN I DO?

AIR BAGS
AS THE DRIVER AND ONLY PASSENGER OF THE ABOVE REFERENCED VEHICLE EN-ROUTE TO PICK-UP MY WIFE FROM WORK ON THURSDAY, 19 FEBRUARY 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 1630 HOURS, I WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE VEHICLE COLLISION WHILE TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 33 MPH WESTBOUND ON DALE BOULEVARD APPROACHING FORRESTDALE AVENUE IN WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY DEPLOYED. INITIAL ASSUMPTION WAS THAT AS THE RESULT OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, MY HEAD WAS FORCEFULLY PUSHED TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. AND THAT THE IMPACT SHATTERED THE GLASS CAUSING MULTIPLE LACERATIONS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE, MULTIPLE FRACTURES AROUND THE EYE SOCKET AND HYPHEMA IN MY LEFT EYE (PHOTOS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PERUSAL). TO THIS DATE, I CAN'T MAKE SENSE OF THIS ASSUMPTION. I WAS IMMEDIATELY TRANSPORTED BY EMT AMBULANCE TO SENTARA HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM. X-RAYS ON MY CHEST SHOWED NO BROKEN BONES. CAT SCANS TO MY HEAD CONFIRMED MULTIPLE FRACTURES ON THE EYE SOCKET AND CHEEK BONES. SURGERY WAS PERFORMED BETWEEN 12 MIDNIGHT ? 3:00 AM TO SUTURE THE LACERATIONS AND ENSURE THAT MY LEFT EYE WAS CLEAR OF BROKEN GLASS. I WAS OUT OF WORK FROM FRIDAY, 20 FEBRUARY 2015 THRU MONDAY, 02 MARCH 2015 BY ORDER OF DR. BABUR LATEEF, OPTHALMOLOGIST, ADVANCED OPTHALMOLOGY INC. ? THE SPECIALIST WHO PERFORMED THE SURGERY. DR. LATEEF CONTINUES TO SEE ME TO MONITOR THE PRESSURE IN MY EYE, MONITOR THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING CATARACT AND VISION CORRECTION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND IS NOW IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION (PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE PRIOR TO REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PERUSAL). HOWEVER, WITH THE ADVENT OF FUTURE RECALLS DUE TO AIRBAG INCIDENTS IN THE NEWS I DECIDED TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE IN HOPES THAT I CAN ASSIST IF NOT HELP PREVENT THESE TYPES OF INJURY/IES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 20MPH WHEN I SMELLED SMOKE I PULLED OVER. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE CAR AROUND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. WITHIN MINUTES MY ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. MY FAMILY IS SAFE BUT WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED AND DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. IF THERE IS ANOTHER WEBSITE OR AGENCY THAT I SHOULD REPORT THIS TO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

BOTH SIDE DOORS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THEY WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER 30-40 MINUTES I FORCED THEM CLOSED. HONDA TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AS THE ROLLERS WERE CRACKED ON BOTH DOORS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEATS.

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHIELDS (FRONT COVER A AND B) WERE REPLACED ON 6/19/2012. ON 6/22/2015 THE FRONT (A AND B) CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHIELDS WERE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE THE REAR SHIELDS (A AND B) WERE REPLACED AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS EXCESSIVE SO I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT IT.

HI, I OWN HONDA ODYSSEY 2007 AND I'VE NOTICE THE PAINT FROM THE ROOF TOP TOWARD THE FRONT SIDE IS PEELING OFF SLOW AND ITS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER. THIS PAINT IS NOT CAUSE BY ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE OR ANYTHING BUT I BELIEVE ITS DEFECTED BY THE HONDA MANUFACTURE PAINTING IT SELF. I'VE CHECKED ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND A LOT OF OWNER OF THIS TYPE OF CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA COMPANY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR THIS KIND OF DEFECT AT NO COST TO ANY HONDA OWNER'S.

STEERING
THERE IS NO POWER STEERING IN THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS. STEERING WHEEL EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I HAVE NOTICED YOU LOOSE THE POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (KIDS CARPOOL LANE). I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF ARM STRENGTH (WHICH A LOT IS NEEDED TO CONTROL CAR) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IF NEEDED IN THESE SITUATIONS. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF A VEHICLE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. THE VEHICLE ALSO MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD.

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING VAN PARKED IN GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. USED KEY FAB TO AUTOMATICALLY OPEN TAILGATE. WHILE LOADING GROCERIES INTO THE BACK OF THE VAN, THE TAILGATE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, DROPPED HITTING THE PERSON LOADING GROCERIES IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, RESULTING IN A MILD CONCUSSION. THE TAILGATE NO LONGER STAYS OPEN WHEN OPENED MANUALLY, AND AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS AGAIN WHEN OPENED AUTOMATICALLY. THIS STRUT FAILURE IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUES ON THE 2008-2009 ODYSSEYS THAT WERE RECALLED.

APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO, MY WIFE WENT OUT TO OUR DRIVEWAY TO START HER DAY AND SUDDENLY THE PASSENGER DOOR AND LIFTGATE ON OUR LOW MILEAGE 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN WOULD NOT OPEN. NEITHER COULD BE OPENED VIA REMOTE OR PHYSICAL LEVEL (INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR). AT THE SAME TIME, THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT STOPPED LIGHTING. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT EXPLAIN THE COINCIDENCE, WHICH SUGGESTS SOME SORT OF ELECTICAL ISSUE WHICH BROKE MULTIPLE ACTUATORS, BUT REGARDLESS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. RIGHT NOW OCCUPANTS COULD VERY WELL BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. THE DEALER HAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $1000 TO REPAIR, AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE AS THERE ARE MANY, MANY REPORTS OF HONDAS SUFFERING FROM THESE DOOR AND LIFTGATE ISSUES. PLEASE HELP MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. THANKS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR WOULD NOT START, HOWEVER ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. IF WE PLAYED WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM THE CAR WOULD START, BUT THE REAR DOOR WOULD LOCK AND NOT OPEN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN OFTEN. RECENTLY, THE REAR TRUNK, DOOR, IS COMPLETELY LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. THERE IS NO WAY OF OPENING IT.

THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT WILL ACTIVATE AFTER THE VAN HAS BEEN STARTED AND HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A SHORT WHILE. THIS HAPPENS ON MOST TRIPS FAIRLY CONSISTENTLY NOW. AIR BAGS SHOULD BE WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY FOR HONDA, SINCE THEY ARE PUTTING POOR QUALITY SRS UNITS IN THEIR PRODUCTS FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS OR MORE. *TR

OPEN DRIVER SLIDING DOOR TO PLACE GROCERIES AND SHUT THE DOOR. THERE WAS A BUZZING SOUND (WHICH HAS SOUNDED PREVIOUSLY BUT GOES AWAY IF THE SLIDING DOOR LOCK IS PUT INTO PLACE) AS I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE. AS I TURNED A CORNER, THE DOOR OPENED ALL THE WAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I USED THE AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSER AND IT CLOSED. LESS THAN 10 MINUTES LATER, STILL WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, THE DOOR OPENED FULLY AGAIN. I BRAKED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO USE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSER, AND IT CLOSED, BUT OPENED AGAIN RIGHT AFTER I STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED A CORNER. I STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY, BUT IT WOULDN'T CLOSE TIGHTLY. BECAUSE I WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM HOME, I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T CLOSE COMPLETELY SHUT. LATER, I WENT BACK INTO THE GARAGE, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT SHUT TIGHTLY THIS TIME. NOW, I AM AFRAID TO USE THE DOOR. I BOUGHT THE MINIVAN BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN. *TR
