2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

TWO ENGINE MOUNTS FAILED AT 82,600 MILES. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY AUTOMATIC POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING ONTHE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. IT ALSO OPENED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. IT OPENS ON ITS OWN WHENEVER IT WANTS AND WILL NOT CLOSE OR LOCK COMPLETELY. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORP AND THEY STATE THAT I HAVE TO PAY THE $100'S OR MORE TO GET DIAGNOSED. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE. AN AUTOMATIC DOOR THAT OPENS ON ITS OWN IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY STATE I SHOULD PAY FOR IT AS WELL. I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. A KID COULD FALL OUT WHEN THE DOOR OPENS OR IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THAT DOOR OPENS THE PERSON SITTING THERE WOULD BE DEAD!!! I HAVE VIDEO TAPED IT OPENING WHILE DRIVING! *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AT 59,526 MILES. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICING WAS INFORMED NATURE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. REPAIR ESTIMATE $3,000. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT SAW AND SMELLED GAS AS THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 104,000.

DRIVING WITH FAMILY ON BUSY HIGHWAY ON MOTHER'S DAY 2010. COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR ONE PARTICULAR YEAR IN THE EARLY 2000'S. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND WERE ABLE TO GUIDE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. TOTAL REPAIRS WERE WELL OVER $3,000. HONDA STARTED USING A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION RECENTLY IN THE ODYSSEY MODEL. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FULLY AS THE INTERNET IS LITTERED WITH REPORTS OF SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TT

2004 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS FAILING TRANSMISSION AT BARELY OVER 100,000. THIS PROBLEM MAY HAVE STARTED AT ONLY 80K! THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PER THE MANUFACTURER. UPON RESEARCH AND CONFIRMATION FROM THE DEALER, HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS MODEL HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, THEY HAD THE RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL CONSUMERS AND PAY FOR REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FAILURE DIAGNOSTICS WHERE HE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 0V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,037 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE VAN HAS MADE STRANGE NOISES AND GOTTEN HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE SINCE WE PURCHASED AS 'CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED' FROM HONDA DEALER. WE REPORTED BOTH TO DEALER AND GOTTEN NO RESPONSE BUT 'OH, WELL'. WE HAVE SERVICED THE VEHICLE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP SINCE PURCHASED AND FOLLOWED ALL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SERVICE. THE D LIGHT HAS BEEN FLASHING AT RANDOM FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT EACH SERVICE APPT THEY FOUND NOTHING AND JUST SENT US ON THE WAY. AT THE LAST APPT, THEY FINALLY FOUND A BAD SENSOR THAT HAD BEEN CAUSING THE LIGHT TO FLASH (THEY SAID). WE HAD THEM REPLACE THE SENSOR. WE DROVE ACROSS THE US TO VISIT FAMILY. THE TCS AND CEL CAME ON AND WE TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP TO HAVE THE CODE READ. P0740. WE CALLED OUR DEALER IN OR AND THEY SAID IT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE IT BACK TO OR FROM AL. 20 MILES LATER THE TRANNY DIED COMPLETELY. MY WIFE CAME WITHIN 10 FEET OF BEING FLATTENED BY A BIG TRUCK DUE TO LACK OF POWER OR CONTROL. MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS WERE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. WE HAD THE VAN TOWED AND HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE 2800-3K TO FIX. THEY CALLED BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER TO SAY IT WAS ALMOST 3600. WE HAVE RELIGIOUSLY SERVICED THE VAN AND NEVER TOWED OR HAULED ANYTHING. WE HAVE COMPLAINED FOR YEARS TO OUR DEALER THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VAN. WE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED EVERYTHING UP TO 105K MILES. WE HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VAN IN 2006 AND HONDA ONLY DROVE AND SAID THEY DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. WE ARE NOW OUT 3.6K FOR THE NEW TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN CALLING IT OUT FOR 5 YEARS. THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE VEHICLES ARE WEAK AND SHOULD NOT BECOME A 4000 REPAIR FOR CONSUMERS. THE VAN HAS BEEN CARED FOR MECHANICALLY AND WE HAVE DONE OUR PART, BUT HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A TRANSMISSION ON ANY VEHICLE WOULD FAIL THIS EARLY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME FAILURES. THERE SHOULD BE SOME ACTION FROM HONDA TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR KEPT OPENING AND CLOSING ON ITS OWN. I TRIED TO MANUALLY SHUT IT AND IT STILL WILL NOT COMPLETELY SHUT. THE SAME HAPPENS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE POWER DOOR. *KB

BOTH OF MY POWER SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS ON MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY ARE BROKEN. THERE IS A BUTTON TO SHUT IT OFF AND MANUALLY USE THE DOORS BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. THE DOORS OPEN ON THEIR OWN AND NEVER CLOSE PROPERLY. THE SPRING BROKE OFF OF ONE OF THE DOORS AND SCRATCHED THAT SIDE OF MY VAN. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT HONDA WILL NOT COVER IT! *TR
