2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AT A STEADY SPEED WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AS IF THE BRAKES HAD BEEN HIT HARD. ONLY LASTED FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND. THIS RECURRED AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, THIS TIME WHILE ACCELERATING. HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR LIFTGATE STRUTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED THE DOOR TO CLOSE ABRUPTLY UPON ACCESSING. THE DOOR CLOSED ON THE CONTACTS FACE; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO INJURY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,800.

THE REAR RIGHT BRAKE LOCKED UP OVER NIGHT AND DESTROYED THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE REAR WHEEL. THE ENTIRE BRAKES WERE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR EARLIER ON ALL 4 WHEELS SO THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A 1 YEAR OLD BRAKING SYSTEM. DEALER SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE SENSOR THAT DID NOT LET GO OF THE REAR BRAKE AND IT INSTANTANEOUSLY DESTROYED THE REAR WHEEL BRAKE. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS VERY LOUD AS THE BRAKE DID NOT LET GO AND DESTROYED THE ONE YEAR OLD ROTOR. I RECALL READING ABOUT A RECALL FROM HONDA IN FIRST QUARTER OF 2013 (RIGHT AFTER MY INCIDENT) ON OTHER HONDA VEHICLES AND ALSO SOME ODYSSEY OVERSEAS BUT NOT IN USA. PLEASE LOG MY COMPLAINT AND LET ME KNOW OF THE NEXT STEPS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN DEALER SERVICED AT ALL THE REQUIRED CHECKPOINTS. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE HAD 2 BRAKE RECALLS ON MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. DURING MY LAST VISIT TO A HONDA AUTO CENTER THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND UPON A "VISUAL" INSPECTION ADVISED ME THAT MY BRAKE PADS WERE AT 3MM EACH WHICH IS SUFFICIENT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS WAS WRONG BECAUSE MY CAR MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKE PADS. I BELIEVE THAT THE 2 RECALLS FOR DIFFERENT BRAKE ISSUES HAVE COMPROMISED MY BRAKE PERFORMANCE AND PREMATURELY DETERIORATED MY BRAKES. I ALSO FEEL THAT IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO TELL SOMEONE THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE FINE WHEN THEY ARE CLEARLY NOT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PERFORMING AN OIL CHECK, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION AND A FAILURE WITH THE TIMING BELT. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF WHEN IT WAS OPENED. ROLLER ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN, CABLES WERE STILL ATTACHED. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF WHEN IT WAS OPENED. CABLES WERE STILL ATTACHED. ROLLER ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN. *TR

MY DAUGHER AND I HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY VAN AND OPENED UP MY TAILGATE TO SEE WHERE THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM. THE TAILGATE WAS WORKING BUT A CLICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE STRUT ON THE LEFT. BOTH MY SIX YEAR OLD AND I WERE UNDER THE TAILGATE AT THE TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE CLICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM. TEN MINUTES LATER THE STRUT FAILED. IT WOULD NO LONGER STAY OPEN AT ALL AND SLAMMED DOWN INSTEAD OF STAYING OPEN. HAD MY DAUGHTER AND/OR I HAD BEEN UNDER IT AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE. IT IS COMMON FOR BOTH OF MY CHILDREN AND I TO UNPACK ITEMS FROM THE VAN AND IT SICKENS ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED BEFORE ON HONDA ODDESSEY VANS! *TR

THE TAIL GATE LIFT WAS WORKING FINE ONE DAY AND ON THE NEXT DAY THE TAIL GATE HIT MY WIFE IN THE HEAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THIS HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING. HONDA MUST FIX THIS MATTER BECAUSE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

YESTERDAY MY THREE YEAR OLD HAD 3 OF HIS TEETH NEARLY RIPPED OUT OF HIS HEAD BY AN INTEGRATED SUNSHADE IN THE SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. BY NEARLY RIPPED OUT I MEAN THEY GOT CAUGHT IN THE THING WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENING...THE DOOR DIDN'T STOP OPENING AND IT CAUSED HIS TEETH TO STICK STRAIGHT OUT OF HIS MOUTH (MOVED ALMOST 90 DEGREES UPWARD). THE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY UP AND THE WINDOWS ARE TINTED IN THE REAR OF THE ODYSSEY'S SO I COULDN'T SEE HIM HOLDING (AND APPARENTLY BITING) THE SUNSHADE WHILE APPROACHING THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR. I WOULD NOT HAVE OPENED THE DOOR KNOWING IT WAS IN HIS MOUTH. I APPLIED PRESSURE AND GOT HIS TEETH TO GO BACK IN PLACE AND TOOK HIM TO THE DENTIST. WE ARE ON A WAIT-AND-SEE SCENARIO WITH WHETHER OR NOT MY CHILD WILL LOSE HIS TEETH. I INQUIRED, WITH HONDA VEHICLES, IF THERE WAS ANY SORT OF LOCK FOR THIS SUNSHADE AND WHY THERE ISN'T A SENSOR TO INDICATE SOMETHING IS TUGGING ON THE DOORS. HE TOLD ME THERE IS NO PRODUCT THAT CAN LOCK THE SUNSHADE IN THE RETRACTED POSITION TO PREVENT INJURIES, DIDN'T COMMENT ON THE SENSORS, AND TOLD ME TO MOVE MY CHILD TO THE BACK SEAT OF THE VAN. *TR
