2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED UNDER CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V098000, SERVICE BRAKES. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE BRAKES WORKED FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN FAILED AGAIN.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2007. SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WHILE APPROACHING AT ABOUT 5MPH TO A STOP SIGN WITH A STOPPED VEHICLE BEFORE ME, I APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT RATHER THAN STOPPING, THE CAR LURCHED AND THE TACHOMETER ROSE TO >2000. I KEPT MY FOOT DOWN AND APPLIED MORE FORCE ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR THEN CAME TO FULL STOP. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND AFTER ~ 15000 MILES, THE CAR VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY WHILE TRAVELING AT 60-70 MPH. PER REPAIR SHOPS, ALL FOUR TIRES WERE "DEFORMED" AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

REAR LIFTGATE STRUTS ON 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EXPERIENCED SUDDEN FAILURE CAUSING THE REAR LIFTGATE TO SUDDENLY CLOSE ON PERSON STANDING BENEATH. SATURDAY 08/07 LIFTGATE WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, LIFTED AND CLOSED NO ISSUES. SUNDAY 08/08 OPENED THE LIFTGATE AND PROCEEDED UNDERNEATH AS THE LIFTGATE CAME CRASHING DOWN. NO LONGER HAS STRUT ASSIST TO OPEN OR SUPPORT LIFTGATE IN OPEN POSITION. STRUTS ARE MANUFACTURED BY STABILUS PART # 6826UR 0810N 251/06 A5 ALSO HAS THIS NUMBER 74820-SHJ-A012. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE IN THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA08015. CONTACTED DEALER AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX - AT MY OWN EXPENSE - AS THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE FOR THE 2007 SUDDEN STRUT FAILURE. *TR

A/C ON MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. WHEN TO DEALER THEY SAID CONDENSER HAS A HOLE AND ROCK MIGHT HAVE HIT THE CAR. I HAVE A WARRANTY AND ALSO TAKEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT DEALER SAID ITS NOT COVERED. WHAT I FOUND FROM GOOGLING THIS IS IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A DESIGN FLAW AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAS REPORTED THIS ISSUE. REQUEST YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF ITS A DESIGN ISSUE IT WARRANTS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY HONDA RATHER THAN MAKING CUSTOMER PAY FOR THIS FOR NO FAULT OF THEIRS. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT A ROCK FLEW UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE MINIVAN, HIT THE COMPRESSOR PUNCTURED IT AND KNOCKED OUT THE AIR CONDITIONING ON THE 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING DEFECT AND PROBLEM WITH HONDA. *TR

WE ARE OWNERS OF 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY (VIN # [XXX] ). ON JULY 13, 2010 AS WE WERE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE RIGHT HAND SIDE BACK WINDOW SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 5 PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ALTHOUGH FOUR KIDS AND ONE ADULT WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME, NO ONE WAS INJURED. WE IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT (RPT # [XXX] WITH CITY OF COLUMBUS DIV. OF POLICE). THE POLICE SEARCHED FOR ANY FOREIGN OBJECT THAT MAY HAVE HIT THE WINDOW. THEY FOUND NOTHING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TEMPERATURE IN THE HIGH 80'S LOW 90'S, IT WAS IN THE 70'S LOW 80'S ON THAT DAY. WHEN WE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON-LINE FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS, THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH REAR WINDOW EXPLODING. WE NOTIFIED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY FOR POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. ALTHOUGH THEY INDICATED NO SPECIFIC COMPLAINT SPECIFIC TO RIGHT BACK WINDOW, THEY SAID HONDA OF AMERICA WILL BE CONTACTED AND WILL GET BACK WITH US. WE HAVE THREE KIDS UNDER SIX YEARS OF AGE WHO PRIMARILY GET TRANSPORTED WITH THIS VEHICLE. TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY, WE REQUEST THE SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE WINDOW BE ADDRESSED ASAP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MECHANICAL SLIDING SIDE DOORS 1) WHEN PARKED ON A HILL, FRNT END DWNHILL THE SLIDING DOOR OPENS ALL OF THE WAY THEN SLAMS FORWARD FRM 4 TO 6 INCHES BACK TOWARD THE FRNT JAM, THE FORCE WILL KNOCK A CHILD DOWN 2) THE DOOR DOES NOT HAVE A SENSOR ( LIKE AN ELEVATOR) THAT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE MIGHT BE N ITS PATH WHEN CLOSING & IT WILL CLOSE ON ANYTHING OR ANYONE IN ITS PATH WHEN CLOSING. MY CHILD GOT HER ARM CRUSHED BTWN THE DOOR & THE JAM WHEN THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER. I HAD OPENED THE DOOR W/ THE REMOTE, I REACHED N & THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE B4 I COULD BACK OUT & CRUSHED ME BETWN THE DOOR & THE JAM, EVEN AFTER MAKING CONTACT W/ MY BODY IT CONTINUED TO CRUSH ME, THE ONLY WAY N BOTH INSTANCES TO STOP THE DOOR FRM CRUSHING MY 4YR OLD'S ARM FRM HER BODY & IT DOING I HAVE NO IDEA THE EXTENT OF WHAT IT WOULD HAVE DONE TO ME, WAS TO GET 2 THE MANUAL HANDLE NSIDE THE DOOR. THE REMOTE WILL NOT STOP IT & THE DASHBOARD BUTTON WILL NOT STOP IT. THE RE OTE DOES NOT HAVE AN OPEN & SHUT BUTTON FOR THE DOOR. REMOTE BUTTONS ARE A MINOR POINT, THE DOORS NEED SENSORS. THE CHALLENGES W/ THE DOORS NOT HAVING SENSORS TO STOP THEM & 1BUTTON OPEN/CLOSE ON THE REMOTE R ISSUES WE DEAL W/ ON A FREQUENT BASIS.

THE TOURING MODEL IS THE ONLY MODEL WITH A REAR DOOR OPENER ON THE REMOTE BUT THE INTERIOR HANDLE IS STILL LOCATED SO LOW ON THE REAR DOOR THE SAME SITUATION OCCURS. *TR
