2009 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

On 6/18 I installed a set of aftermarket front left and right lower control arms made by Mevotech part #'s CMS601007 (left) and CMS601008(right), Mevotech has installed a grease zerk on the ball joints which are not on the OEM control arms, in theory this might be good but the grease zerk impacts, INTERFERENCE, with the inside of the wheel. The ball joint grease zerk has hard contact with the inside of the front wheel. - I have pictures of the zerk hitting the wheel and the damage to the wheel. -Safety - damage to the wheel while driving resulting in a loss of vehicle control and possible damage to the ball joint again loss of control. - pictures have been sent to Mevotech and the parts supplier - Parts Geek.

my drivers side door started making a grinding noise and when we attempted to close the door it it fell off the track, it almost closed my child in the door, now there is significant body damage and my door is not working

When Honda IT Department wrote and installed the in-dash Navigation Computer System they neglected to correct a permanently and known Date and Time Glitch. January 2022 the date and time went back to 2002. Owners can not correct this glitch. Each time as you start the engine and begin to drive the Navigation System give off a not expecting very loud high pitch sound , which is a safety hazard. It has startled me and my passenger where I have slammed on brakes or jerked my steering

Starting on January 1, 2022, my vehicle's clock (2009 Honda Odyssey Touring w/Navigation) are showing incorrect times on both the dash vehicle clock as well as the one on the Navigation screen, and cannot be adjusted. Time on Navigation screen always starts at around 7.17pm, then works as usual, but resets after restarting car. Date always shows Jan 1, 2002. Dash clocks seems to work (advances normally), but just can't be adjusted, as it usually syncs with Navigation Clock. There is no adjustement possible to the clock; only minor +/- adjustments from the GPS-feed time, and that adjustment is not functioning now. When I try to adjust the time, it acts erratic & jumps back to original setting. Other owners are reporting similar issues. (https://www.crvownersclub.com/threads/clock-fault-year-2022-note-this-is-not-a-gps-related-issue-merged-master-thread.224326/) I am the original & current owner of this vehicle, which has never been in a major accident. First Picture show Navigation & Dash clock that are not synced. Second Photo show software version with original (2009) Navigation DVD. Third photo shows after battery was disconnected. Navi time started at 6.15 this time, and Dash clock started at 1:00. Other owners seem to disconnect & reconnect car battery just before 1:00 to at least get the dash clock to function correctly. This seems to be problem that is affecting many (older) Honda vehicles and seems to be a programming/coding/software issue with the Year 2022 that mainly affects vehicles that came with the factory Navigation package. Other owners are only starting to report this issue on online forums/blogs. This is a very basic car function, that owners are unable to adjust correctly without the manufacturer's help. Thank you for your help in this matter.

A miss fire in the engine which is causing slow speed when going up a hill or using the Air Conditioner. If it was to fail while driving it would be not good, could cause an accident. Also need to bring attention that Honda lack of concern for the safety of the driver and other people on the road.

I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM WEST AUTO SALES LOCATED AT 6145 E. LANCASTER RD. FORT WORTH, TX 76112 ON 03/27/2021. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF DRIVING IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP MANAGED TO GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF WITHOUT REPLACING IT. A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK THE SERPENTINE BELT BROKE OFF. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A BOLT BROKEN INSIDE THE TENSIONER AND IT WOULD TAKE FOUR DAYS IN ORDER TO GET THE TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED IN ORDER TO FIX IT. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALER AND TOLD THAT THEY GOT THE BOLT OUT WITH NO PROBLEM AND PUT A NEW TENSIONER IN AND REPLACED THE BELT. NOT EVEN A WEEK AFTER THAT THE BELT CAME OFF AGAIN AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SAME BROKEN BOLT WAS STILL THERE HOLDING TOGETHER THE TENSIONER. ALL THE DEALERSHIP DID WAS PUT JB WELD ON THE BROKEN BOLT TO HOLD IT TOGETHER. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE SELLER AND GOT NO HELP. NOW MY VAN ISN'T DRIVE ABLE AND IT WILL COST ANOTHER $800 TO GET IT FIXED THE RIGHT WAY. I DID A CARFAX REPORT ON THE VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS EVEN BEEN IN A WRECK THAT WASN'T DISCLOSED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT I WAS SOLD A LEMON.

SLIDING DOOR ISSUES. FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND GOT FIXED AT A COST. CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BOTH MY SLIDING DOORS NOT CLOSING PROPERLY FOR A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WITH MY DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR.

MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY BOTH POWER SLIDING DOORS NEITHER ONE WORKS. THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDE DOOR OPENED AND COULDN'T CLOSE HAD TO TAKE IT OFF THE HINGE AND DO A MANUAL CLOSE YOU JUST CAN'T OPEN IT OR THE DOOR WILL COMPLETELY COME OFF. THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. BEFORE ALL THIS HAPPENED THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDE DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE UNLESS I WAS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I HAVE CALLED AROUND AND THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF HONDA ODYSSEY VAN DOORS. TO ME THIS IS A HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT MY KIDS HAVE TO CLIMB IN THE BACK JUST TO GET IN THE CAR CAUSE MY DOORS WILL NOT EVEN OPEN MANUALLY. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN MADE AN ISSUE IF THERE'S SO MANY VANS WITH SAME SAID SLIDING SIDE DOOR ISSUES. SOME OF US CAN'T AFFORD MAJOR FIXES LIKE THIS THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN BECOME AN ISSUE.
