2009 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS INADVERTENTLY OPENED AND ALSO FAILED TO CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY. THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE DRAINED THE BATTERY, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO APPLE HONDA (1375 US-58, RIVERHEAD, NY 11901, 631-727-0555) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCHES AND THE CENTER ROLLERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURES WERE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 99,000.

THE CAR WAS OFF AND THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON WHICH WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. DIFFERENT LIGHTS STARTED TO ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD WITH THE CAR OFF. THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SHOPS TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CABIN WIRE HARNESS IS CORRODED DUE TO A LEAK IN THE ROOF RUN CHANNELS AND OR WINDSHIELD. THE UNDER THE DASH FUSE BOX IS ALSO SHOWING CORROSION AND NEEDS REPLACING. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 64000 MILES AND THE REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $3465. A VERY COSTLY REPAIR WHICH SEEMS IS DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY.

ENGINE IS BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL RESULTING IN A P3497 OBD II FAULT CODE. LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DOES NOT TURN ON, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE BURNED OVER 2 QUARTS OF OIL. BECAME AWARE OF ISSUE WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL, THEN OBTAINED AN OIL CHANGE THE NEXT DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS A VERY HIGH RISK OF ENGINE SEIZING. HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. HONDA DID ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN 11-033 TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER AT A COST OF $125. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET...NO NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF WHEN WE OPENED IT, FALLING TO THE GROUND, CAUSING EXTENSIVE BODY DAMAGE TO THE REAR PANEL. WE HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR REPAIRED ALREADY BUT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT OPENING AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM HONDA. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT MANY HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXPERIENCE

STARTED VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY MONDAY 3/12/17, OUTSIDE TEMP APPROXIMATELY 37* WITH RAIN. TURNED ON WIPERS, FRONT AND REAR. TURNED ON DEFROST FRONT AND REAR. IMMEDIATELY REAR HATCH WINDOW SHATTERED, GLASS ALL FELL INTO REAR COMPARTMENT BEHIND 3RD ROW SEATS. HAD NOT EVEN YET PUT VEHICLE INTO GEAR TO BACK UP. VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN MOVED AT ALL. HAD USED WIPERS PREVIOUSLY WITH NO ISSUES. THERE WAS NOTHING TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR GLASS BEFORE IT SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. PHOTOS WERE TAKEN NEXT DAY AFTER HAVING PULLED VEHICLE INTO GARAGE OVERNIGHT TO KEEP FROM WATER DAMAGE.

THE PAINT ON ROOF IS DISAPPEARING I THINK FROM WIND FRICTION STARTED HAPPENING AT 40000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE ONLY HAVE 60000 MILES AND WE TAKE CARE OF IT- IT SHOULD STILL LOOK LIKE NEW

VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT SWITCHES ON AND OFF AND CAUSES EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND CODES P3400 AND P3497 SHOW ON THE READER.

IN FALL 2016, THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED A MISFIRE ENGINE READING ON MY VAN. I HAD TAKEN IT IN AT LEAST TWO OTHER TIMES BECAUSE OF SLUGGISH ACCELERATION OR VEHICLE DYING WHILE AT A STOP. IN SPRING 2017, THE VAN BECAME DISABLED AT AN INTERSECTION AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CAUSE WAS THE SAME MISFIRE CODE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10099308 MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: WE - A13-080, THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. BUT BECAUSE OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY'S 8YR FROM DATE OF PURCHASE TIMEFRAME, HONDA CORP. DENIED MY REPAIRS BECAUSE IT WAS THREE MONTHS OUT OF THE 8YR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I COMMUNICATED WITH HONDA BACK AND FORTH URGING THEM TO FIX THE VAN ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPAIR HAD BEEN ADDRESS BEFORE AND IT WAS THREE MONTHS OUT OF THEIR CLASS ACTION AGREEMENT. ULTIMATELY, THEY DENIED COVERAGE OF ANY REPAIRS.

HONDA ODYSSEY OIL CONSUMPTION-I HAVE A 2009 ODYSSEY THAT CONSUMES OIL. ROUGHLY, EVERY 1,000 MILES, I AM ADDING 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 3 TO 4 WEEKS. NO SPOTS ON THE GROUND. ENGINE IS CONSUMING OIL. HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA.

FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES. LAST WITH DRILLED/SLOTTED ROTORS. VIBRATION IS LESS WITH THOSE, BUT STILL THERE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. SO SPEED LITTLE VIBRATION, HIGHER SPEED INCREASES VIBRATION. HAS BEEN GOING OVER THE YEARS, IS WORSE WHEN IN THE MOUNTAINS.
