TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE HOOD BECAME DETACHED FROM THE LATCH AND CRASHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD, DESTROYING THE GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDSHIELD AND THE HOOD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

I TOOK OUR 2004 ODYSSEY MINI VAN TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHILE THERE, THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THREE OF THE FOUR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN, RESULTING IN A $858.78 REPAIR. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON IN VEHICLES WITH 100,000. WE'VE HAD CARS MUCH OLDER THAN THIS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM! IF IT'S "NOT UNCOMMON" IN HONDA ODYSSEYS, I THINK IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. PERHAPS ANOTHER RECALL FROM HONDA IS DUE. *TR

VEHICLE WENT FROM 40 MPH TO LESS THAN 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER . ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE ONLY REVVED ENGINE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED...WAS INOPERABLE,AND ONLY OPTION WAS REPLACEMENT NOT REBUILDING. *TR VEHICLE MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS

WE USED HONDA ODYSSEY [2004] DAILY FOR COMMUTING (NEVER TOWED ANYTHING AND DON'T HAUL ANYTHING). THE CAR WOULD START MOVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN WOULD STOP MOVING FORWARD. THE CAR WAS SUDDENLY STUCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER CROSSING THE INTERSECTION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR IN ANY DIRECTION AND STUCK ON THE ROAD. ON DUTY POLICE OFFICER INFORMED THAT I NEED TO MOVE THE CAR AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HE WANTED TO CALL THE TOWING TRUCK, BUT AT THAT TIME I TRIED SHIFTING FROM TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD FOR FEW HUNDRED FEET AND AGAIN SAME THING NO FORWARD MOTION. AT THAT TIME I WAS ON DOWN THE HILL AND SO ABLE TO PULL THE CAR NEAR ONE BUSINESS PARK. LATER, I TOWED THE CAR TO NEAR BY SHOP AND FOUND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN I FOUND RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, HONDA MOTOR COMPANY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. HONDA DEALER IS CHARGING $5,600 TO FIX THIS. 8TR

TOOK IN OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI-VAN TO FIX OPEN RECALLS. DEALER FOUND A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH A THING HAPPEN TO ANY VEHICLE AND WAS SURPRISED THAT IT WOULD FAIL AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I COME TO FIND THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM FOR THE HONDA ODYSSEY. *TR

2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON JULY 27, 2012, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY HAD IT CHECKED IT OUT, WHERE THEY DISCOVERED A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS, THE 2004 MODEL WAS KNOWN TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION FAN THAT DID NOT COOL DOWN THE TRANSMISSION EFFECTIVELY. THE FAILURE WAS DUE LARGELY TO THE TRANSMISSION FAN BEING TOO SMALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION TWICE, THE A/C SYSTEM 3 TIMES AND STARTER. NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS AND WINDOWS AND RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT SEIZED ONE AFTERNOON. ALL SERVICE INTERVALS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED AS WITH MY OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD TIRES AND FLUID CHANGES WITH NO OTHER FIXES. THE PAINT CONTINUES TO FLAKE OFF EVEN AFTER HONDA OF CONCORD, NC REPAINTED HALF OF THE VEHICLE. 2 YEARS AGO. VEHICLE HAS LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED ON DOZENS OF OCCASIONS ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE'S 9TH BATTERY SINCE 2004. SELLING THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AN OPTION BUT REPLACING IT IS. IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT EVER AND I CAUTION ANYONE WHO IS EVER IN THE MARKET FOR ONE OF THESE VANS TO AVOID THEM AT ALL COST. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE TO WORK WITH AND WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE REPAIRS I LISTED ABOVE. THEY ARE JUNK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-630 IN LITTLE ROCK, IN MODERATE TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS FORCED TO COAST THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. AS SOON AS I LOST POWER, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHED. IF THE TRAFFIC HAD BEEN HEAVIER, THE OUTCOME MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN AS FAVORABLE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. *TR
