2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROZE WHILE IN OPERATION AND WERE NO LONGER OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY LIFTGATE GAS STRUTS BOTH FAILED WITH NO WARNING ON MARCH 1, 2011. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT SLAMMED DOWN AND COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE. SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH ODYSSEYS MADE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. I HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES WITH LIFTGATES AND NONE HAVE FAILED. HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEMS WITH FAULTY MODULATOR *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ON FEBRUARY 9, 2011 HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE VSA LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THEY DETERMINED THE VSA MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1221.00 PLUS TAX. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VSA MODULATOR WAS REPLACED PREVIOUSLY UNDER RECALL. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER OPERATED REAR LIFTGATE WOULD CLOSE INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT REPAIRS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND COULD NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

MY 2007 ODYSSEY WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AT 35,000 MILES FOR A PROBLEM WITH A CLICKING NOISE AND STEERING ISSUE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE DEALER ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING TO A POWER STEERING SERVICE BULLETIN AND THE CLICKING WASN'T EVIDENT OUT OF THE ORDINARY. AS THE STEERING SEEMED TO BE BETTER, AND THE CLICKING WAS 'NORMAL" I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND DROVE IT LIKE IT WAS FOR MANY MORE MILES, UNTIL THE CLICKING NOISE AT AROUND 68000 MILES SEEMED REALLY LOUDER AND MORE PRONOUNCED. THE DEALER NOW ATTRIBUTED THE NOISE TO A FAULTY AXLE AND REPLACED IT AT A COST TO ME OF AROUND $200.00 (1/2 PRICE). NOW, ABOUT 5000 MILES LATER, THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY BAD AT LOW SPEED AND NOW THE DEALER TELLS ME THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEEKING AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS NEARLY $1500.00. THIS ISSUE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN NOTICIBLE ON MINE AND OTHER PEOPLE'S VEHICLES WHICH IS EVIDENT BY THE COMPLAINTS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE MINE. HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR A FAULTY POWER STEERING PUMP AND TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER BRAKING TO A STOP, THE FRONT BRAKES WOULD TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD CAUSING A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN BRAKING DISTANCE AND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIRS TO THE BRAKE PADS BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

WE FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH OUR ODYSSEY WHEN THE LOW-SPEED STEERING (E.G. NAVIGATING PARKING SPACES) BECAME VERY DIFFICULT, AS IF THE POWER STEERING WERE OFF. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CLEANED THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM AS PER A SERVICE BULLETIN. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER WE NOTICED THAT AFTER DRIVING THE VAN FOR AT LEAST APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES, THE POWER STEERING PUMP MADE AN AUDIBLE HUM OR WHIRRING THAT COULD BE HEARD AT LOW SPEEDS. THE NOISE WOULD CHANGE PITCH ALONG WITH THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES, THE LOW-SPEED STEERING WOULD AGAIN BE DIFFICULT, BUT NOT TO THE SAME EXTREME AS BEFORE AND FAR LESS OFTEN. WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY REPORTED THAT A SEAL WAS BROKEN IN THE STEERING RACK AND THAT THE PUMP ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT NOT REPLACING BOTH THESE ITEMS, AT A COST OF $2500.00, COULD LEAD TO POWER STEERING LOSS AND CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. SO WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE THESE ITEMS EVEN THOUGH THE VAN ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST BECAME NOTICEABLE. *TR

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY: CAR CONTINUALLY PULLS TO THE LEFT DURING ALL SPEEDS. CORRECTS ITSELF AFTER STEERING HARD RIGHT (DRIVES STRAIGHT). WHEN I THEN TURN LEFT, CAR RETAINS "MEMORY STEER" AND CONTINUES TO PULL TO THE LEFT. HAD CAR INTO HONDA SERVICE FIVE TIMES. CHANGED A TIRE, DID ALIGNMENT, THEY NEVER NOTICED PULL, ETC. TIRED OF REPEAT VISITS TO HONDA WITHOUT RESULTS. MANY OTHER PUBLISHED COMPLAINTS WITH SIMILAR ISSUE BY OTHERS. *TR

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL IN HONDA ODYSSEY. I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE VAN. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL APPOINTMENT AND DONE ALL THE RECALL BY HONDA BUT STILL MY PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. EVERY TIME I GO TO DEALER THEY TELL ME EVERYTHING IS OK AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHOULD BE DONE. *TR

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS MEMORY STEER, AFTER MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE CAR PULL DRAMATICALLY TO THE LEFT, THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD HONDA DEALER ALIGN, SAID THE VAN IS IN ALL OF HONDA'S SPECS AND ALL FRONT COMPONENTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR AND I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT ALL CARS HAVE THERE ISSUES BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS OR THE PUBLIC SHARING THE ROAD THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS FOUND ONLINE (EX. EDMUNDS.COM TOWN HALL), IT SEEMS HONDA IS IGNORING THIS ISSUE AND NOT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE POSSIBLE HARM THAT CAN BE CAUSED. *TR
