2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR BUMPS AND GRINDS WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING. IT WILL SUDDENLY STOP THEN REVERSE DIRECTION. IT HAS ALMOST SHUT ON SEVERAL PEOPLE. I'VE DELT WITH IT FOR YEARS BUT TODAY I REALIZED THAT WATER IS LEAKING IN THE SAME DOOR. I REALIZED THIS WHEN I WENT TO PUT ON MY SEAT BELT AND IT WAS FROZEN INSIDE AND WET. MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BELT WAS ALSO WET. AFTER REALIZING THIS I SAW A WET STAIN ALONG THE WHOLE TOP OF THE SLIDING DOOR. SO DISAPPOINTED.

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS FOR YEARS WITH THE POWER STEERING BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. NOW I SEE HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I BOUGHT MY VAN BRAND NEW. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. I HAVE TROUBLE PARKING AND TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AND MAKES IT FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE NO POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING. THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO ALL OWNERS.

THE TENSIONER BOLT HAS SHEARED OFF 3 TIMES SINCE THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPLACED. IN BOTH CASES THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER THE CAR SAFELY. FORTUNATELY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS. IN ALL CASES OUR MECHANIC USED ORIGINAL FACTORY PARTS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE AND 5 CHILDREN. IT APPEARS OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT CAN BE REFERENCED ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE. HTTP://WWW.ODYCLUB.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=152628

BOTH CLEAR GLASS COVERS ["LENSES"?] OVER THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE DEVELOPED A SPIDERWEB NETWORK OF CRACKS, VERY THIN, OVER THE ENTIRE LENS. THE CAR WAS NEVER HIT. IT OCCURRED GRADUALLY OVER TIME. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IT DIMINISHES THE LIGHT OUTPUT, AND LEADS ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO AT TIMES FLASH THER HEADLIGHTS AS IF MY BRIGHTS ARE ON.

THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT CIRCULATING PROPERLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD BELOW 20 DEGREES. HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING. YOU MAY HAVE TO LET THE ENGINE WARM TO AVOID THE HARD STEERING

FUEL LEAKING FROM THE RIGHT REAR OF THE CAR, ONE CAN WATCH IT DRIP, AND ONE CAN SMELL FUEL. IT SEEMS TO BE PARTICURLARLY ACUTE WHEN FUEL IS ALMOST FULL.

LIKE MANY OTHERS I HAVE A TORQUE CONVERTOR ISSUE AT 122K MILES. THE COST TO REPLACE THE CONVERTOR WAS 2300 DOLLARS , NEEDLESS TO SAY I'M OUTRAGED.
