2005 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

I JUST SEEN THIS RECALL: HONDA WILL RECALL ABOUT 122,000 OF ITS 2018 AND 2019 MODEL YEAR ODYSSEY MINIVANS DUE TO THE RISK THAT ITS SLIDING DOORS COULD OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN USE. IN DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, THE AUTOMAKER SAYS THAT THE REAR LATCHES ON THE POWER SLIDING DOOR MIGHT "GENERATE HIGHER THAN NORMAL FRICTION, CAUSING THEM TO STICK." IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN, THE DOORS COULD BE PREVENTED FROM CLOSING ALL THE WAY WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY INCREASE THE CHANCES THEY FLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN USE. MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY'S SLIDING DOORS DO THE SAME THING YET THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON IT.

MY SLIDING DOOR OFF ON ME CAUSE ME TO PULL A MUSCLE IN MY CHEST AND PUT ME IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

DRIVING THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY POWER SHUTS OFF TO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. YOU DIDN'T TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IT WILL START. WHEN THERE IS A HEAVY LOAD ON THE VEHICLE THE CAR WILL STALL. THE POWER SHUT OFF HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND EVEN BLINKERS WILL NOT WORK. THIS IS DRIVING IN LOCAL AND HIGHWAY THE CAR STOPS.

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHAKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE AND I HAVE TO REDUCE THE GAS AND THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN TO END THE SHAKENING.NOW, THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND SHAKES WORST

1) I HAVE OCCASIONAL "CHECK AIRBAGS" MESSAGE POPPING UP ON THE DASHBOARD, WHICH DISAPPEAR AFTER TURNING OFF/BACK ON. IT MAY HAPPEN WHILE I AM RIDING OR WHEN SETTING THE GEAR TO PARK AND UNPLUGGING THE SEATBELT. CONSUMER REPORTS SHOWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DECLARED ON AIRBAGS BACK ON AUGUST 1, 2005 SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MAY, 2005. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON AIRBAGS. I WOULD STILL DRIVE THIS CAR AND BY THAT REASON DECIDED CONTACT NHTDS. 2) RUST ON THE BODY OF THE CAR ABOVE THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL IS GETTING DEEPER. I HAVE SEEN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT RUSTED ON OTHER ODYSSEYS MADE IN 2005 OR LATER, WHEN DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED A GAPING HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK FROM WHERE THE IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH MOTER RUNNING SAT THERE WHILE FINISHING SOMETHING, HAVING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WENT TO PUT MY VAN IN PARK AFTER WHICH TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND MY VAN LUNGES FORWARD. I STOMPED ON MY BRAKES BARELY IN TIME TO NOT GO THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. #2 I WAS PARKED MUCH LIKE #1 IN FRONT OF MY GYM FOOT ON THE BRAKE WENT TO PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND IT LUNGES FORWARD, I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE IN TIME TO NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP THE CRUB. STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. #3 WAS A WEEK AGO. I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE ALMOST A U-TURN AND MY VAN EXCELLERATED SO FAST I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR A CONCRETE PILLAR, WAS ABLE TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES COMING WAY TO CLOSE TO HITTING THE PILLAR. I TOOK THE ODYSSEY INTO HONDA THEY RAN THEIR TESTS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY JUST THOUGHT I MUST HAVE SLIPPED OF THE BRAKE. WELL THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN EITHER OF THE 3 TIMES. VERY SCARY AND DRIVE VERY CAUTIOUS NOW. STOP A CAR LENGTH FROM OTHER CARS FROM CROSSWALKS PARK WITH MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND EXCELLERATE SLOWLY! PRAYING IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, MY 93 YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ON #3 AND SCARED HER TO DEATH!

AFTER THE THIRD ROW HAS BEEN FOLDED FLAT AND YOU ARE BRINGING IT BACK OUT TO MAKE IT A SEAT AGAIN, IT OFTEN WILL NOT LATCH WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO HELP GUIDE THE SEAT INTO THE PROPER PLACE. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WITH THE 2 SEAT SECTION AND NOT THE SINGLE SEAT SECTION (SINCE THEY FOLD 60/40). IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THE SEAT DID NOT LATCH, THEN IT CAN EASILY ROLL BACK AND TRY TO FOLD FLAT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SHOULD SOMEONE TRY TO CLIMB OVER IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT WHEN I SAW THAT A CHILD DIED BECAUSE OF IT, I WANTED TO REPORT IT.

THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING DURING LOWER SPEED LIMITS. IT SEEMS TO STOP ONCE THE VEHICLE GOES FASTER PAST THE LOWER GEARS.

CAR WILL ONLY RUN FROM 3 TO 8 DAYS. THEN HAS TO JUMPED OFF. NEW BATTERY. ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY CHECKED NO PROBLEM. I THINK IT MIGHT BE THE FUSE BOXES OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL.VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.
