UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE A/C CONDENSER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE DUE TO IT BEING PUNCTURED FROM EVERY DAY WEAR AND TEAR. AFTER THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A PROTECTIVE SHIELD OVER THE UNIT TO PROTECT IT FROM FURTHER DAMAGE. I FEEL THIS WAS AN ENGINEERING FLAW AND WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED THE $678.81 THAT I HAVE SPENT HAVING THESE CONDENSERS REPLACED.

STRUCTURE
REAR LIFT GATE STRUTS FAIL WITHOUT NOTICE. AT THIS POINT, THE REAR LIFT GATE IS EXTREMELY HEAVY AND DANGEROUS TO ONES SAFETY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON THIS VEHICLE. HONDA KEEPS REPLACING THE STRUTS WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER THAT CONTINUES TO FAIL. SAME REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO. I REQUESTED A BETTER STRONGER OR BEEFIER REPLACEMENT STRUT,BUT SINCE MY VEHICLE IS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY KEEP REPLACING WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER. I HAVE FOUR SMALL KIDS AND IF IT WERE TO FAIL WITH ONE OF THEM STANDING UNDER THE LIFT GATE IT COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE CAR SHUTTERS AROUND 40 - 50 MPH AS WELL AS ON INCLINES. I'M AMAZED AT HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE ARE ABOUT THIS AND HOW COMMON THE DEFECT IS THAT THE TWO PLACES I CALLED AFTER BEING TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALER THAT I NEEDED A $2200 TORQUE CONVERTER PUT IN KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE 05 ODYSSEY'S ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I'M SURPRISED THAT HONDA HAS LET THIS GO WITHOUT A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY AND WAS DRIVING TO WORK, WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE VAN WAS OVERHEATING BUT NOTICED THE TEMP GAUGE WAS NORMAL. PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE. CALLED 911 AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE.

STEERING
2005 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED IN WEATHER TEMPS UNDER 35 DEGREES, DRIVING MORE THAN 15-30 MINUTES OR SO. STEERING WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING IS SLIGHTLY MORE DIFFICULT. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SAYS THE COST TO FIX IS APPROX. $210 FOR OUT OF WARRANTY SERVICE. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE "REDESIGNED" THE RESERVOIR, WELL IF IT WAS "REDESIGNED" THEN IT SHOULD BE "RECALLED". *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. SEPT 2009 MY AC ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING (BLOWING COLD AIR) I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I ALSO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A FLUKE, CHANCE HAPPENING THAT A ROCK MUST HAVE ENTERED MY CONDENSER THROUGH THE FRONT GRILL AND CAUSED A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST APPROX $800 TO REPAIR BECAUSE THE CONDENSER HAS TO BE REPLACED. I THEN PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN ON 8/21/10. NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER. I DO NOT DRIVE ON DIRT ROADS AND AVOID CONSTRUCTION. THIS TIME I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR STORIES. I FOUND THOUSANDS OF THREADS OF OTHERS WITH HONDA ODYSSEY'S COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN DEFECT THAT ALLOWS ROCKS OR OTHER SUCH ITEMS TO PENETRATE THE CONDENSER. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THERE ARE AFTERMARKET GRILLS TO BE PLACED ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM WHICH IS YET AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE AND CHANGES THE LOOK OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
