2005 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

PASSENGER REAR SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF AND IS HANGING BY A SINGLE CABLE. CAR WAS IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY.

PASSENGER SLIDING REAR DOOR FELL OFF TRACK AFTER HAVING PROBLEMS CLOSING BOTH AUTOMATICALLY AND MANUALLY. PLASTIC ROLLERS SEEM TO HAVE FALLEN APART. DRIVERS SLIDING DOOR MAKES WEIRD NOISES & DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY IN EITHER AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE DOOR FELL OFF THE TRACK & WAS HANGING BY THE CABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE USING THE BRAKES. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAIN LINE HONDA (LOCATED AT 123 E LANCASTER AVE, ARDMORE, PA 19003, (610) 649-5600) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,999. *TT*JB

MY VEHICLE DOES WHEN ITS SITTING AFTER A DAY. SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE DRAINING THE BATTERY. I THINK IT'S THE DOORS.

MY REAR POWER SLIDING DOORS HAVE FAULTY DOOR LATCHES. WHILE IN GEAR I MUST TURN OFF THE POWER TO MY DOORS TO AVOID A VERY LOUD CONSTANT BEEP. THIS HOWEVER DOES NOT HELP TO KEEP MY DOORS CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING BOTH REAR DOORS HAVE OPENED AT LEAST 25 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST WEEK WHILE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE! IT CAUSES MY LIGHTS TO COME ON AND MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. I HAVE EVEN TRIED TO KEEP MY DOORS LOCKED AND THEY STILL OPEN UP REGARDLESS. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ON DECEMBER 22, 2018 AND HAS CONTINUED DAILY SINCE.

TWICE IN 3 DAYS VEHICLE REFUSED TO START IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING TURNED IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES , SEVERAL TRIES PRODUCED NO RESULTS , JUMPING IT PRODUCED NO RESULTS , IT ACTED AS IF THERE WAS NO BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE WHERE THE STARTER WAS CONCERNED , HOWEVER ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS REQUIRING ELECTRICITY WERE OPERATING NORMALLY ,THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY FOR THE REPAIR SHOP OR FOR MYSELF . BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON LEVEL GROUND .

WE WERE OUT IF TOWN WHEN OUR VAN'S DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE AND IT CAME OFF THE TRACK AND I CAUGHT IT LUCKILY. WE HAD TO RIG IT UP AND DRIVE IT HOME. ONLY TO FIND OUT IT'S A COMMON ISSUE.

POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK UNDER 1000 RPMS. PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING.

WHEN ENGINE IS OFF AND I LOCK THE DOORS BY REMOTE CONTROL, AFTER FEW MINUTES SAFETY ALARM WILL BE ACTIVE ( LIGHTING STARTED TO ON/OFF FOR 120 SECOND AND WHISTLE ALSO CONTINUES ACTIVE).

WE ARE THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VAN BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER. AT APPROXIMATELY 145K MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALERS WANTED A SMALL FORTUNE TO REPAIR IT, MORE THAN THE CAR WAS WORTH IT. I LEARNED THAT IT IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH THOSE HONDA ODYSSEYS. THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED THOUGH.
