2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

"SUPER LATCH" STRAP LOOSENS REPEATEDLY WITH NORMAL USE, LEAVING THE SEAT POORLY INSTALLED DESPITE INITIAL INSTALLATION BY EXPERIENCED, FORMERLY-CERTIFIED CPS TECH, THAT LEFT IT ROCK-SOLID. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=ODYSSEY). *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, A ROCK HIT MY A/C CONDENSER. A REPLACEMENT CONDENSER COSTS $700-1,000. PLEASE ASK HONDA TO INVENT SOME SORT OF CONDENSER GUARD TO PROTECT IT FROM ROAD DEBRIS. MY FATHER HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ILLUMINATES ON DASH. THIS HAPPENS SPORATICALLY. USUALLY WHEN SOMEONE MOVES AROUND IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (LIKE MY GRANDCHILDREN).. *TR

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

HONDA ODYSSEY 2007 TAIL GATE STRUT PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED OVER THE NET THAT THE HONDA ODYSSEY TAIL GATE GAS LIFT DIES AFTER ABOUT 32,000 TO 39,000 MILES. OUR DIED AT 42,000 MILES. CAN YOU PLEASE KEEP RECORD FOR THIS COMPLAINT AND SEE IF THIS HELPS TO MAKE SURE THAT MANUFACTURE CAN PROVIDE SOME BETTER PARTS. THANKS!!! *TR

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN MY HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE FRONT AND REAR LEFT WHEEL BEARING STARTED TO MAKE HUMMING NOISE TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS TOO LOUD TO DRIVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVANS ARE KNOWN FOR THE BEARING PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT NHTSA SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. *TR

BRAKES FAILED CAUSING A CRASH. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2007 AND HAVE NOTICED SPONGY, SOFT, HARD TO STOP BRAKES FROM THE BEGINNING. DEALERSHIPS, WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO MORE THAN ONE, ALWAYS SAY IT'S FINE, NO FAILURE, NO PROBLEM CAN BE REPEATED. WE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED JUST IN CASE AND HAVE HAD BOTH RECALL JOBS FIXED, ONE JUST LAST WEEK. THIS WEEK CARS STOPPED SHORT IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, HE COULD NOT STOP, TRIED TO SLAM BRAKES AND THE VAN WOULD NOT STOP, HE PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. HE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. WE HAVE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO STOP SHORT IN THE PAST BUT HAVE AVOIDED A CRASH BEFORE. A RECALL IS JUST NOT ENOUGH, IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM FOR OUR VAN. ALSO THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE STABILUS STAY ASSEMBLE TAILGATE OPEN NUM 74820-SJU-A012 FAILED AND LET THE TAILGATE DOOR FALL. IT ALMOST HIT ME ON THE HEAD. SINCE THEN IT FAILS TO HOLD THE TAILGATE DOOR OPEN ON THE HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L .2007. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF RECALLS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM. BUT, THERE CONTINUES TO BE AIR INTRODUCED INTO THE SYSTEM CAUSING A SOFT PEDAL. THIS LEADS TO REDUCED BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS.

THE FILTER IN POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR CLOGGED. THIS CAUSED THE POWER STEERING FLUID TO AERATE. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AERATED FLUID WILL CAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO FAIL, LOSING POWER STEERING.
