2000 Honda Odyssey Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Driving down the interstate in my 2000 Honda Odyssey when the passenger side rear window imploded, shattering glass all over my two small children. The police officer who stopped to help us asked if the airconditioner was on, said that if the window was hot on the outside and the cold on the inside a window could shatter like that. We are reporting this incident to Honda as well, the window is being replaced.”

“The sliding doors on my Odyssey have failed three times in less than a year. I bought an extended warranty so the dealer has been replacing the motors and latches. The concern is they are not latching after they fail. The other concern was they tried to tell my wife that she needed to pull on the top of the door to release the tension so not to burn out the motor. $26,000 and we need to pry the doors open? I lock them manually now because I do not want them opening while traveling.”

“Without using the windshield wiper washer system the tube that extracts the washer fluid extends outward. This allows any fluid to enter through the washer tube including rain. That drainage enters the vehicle compartment.”

“At baseball game ball hit his windshield on passenger side. Windshield shattered into millions of pieces that went all over the car. The contact feels the glass is not safety glass.”

“Have had power sliding doors looked at several times since purchase. Each time dealer could not duplicate problem, till now. Door ajar buzzer would sound at highway speeds from driver's side door. Turning off power switch silenced the buzzer & door seemed ok. Lately, the door was not locking. Dealer duplicated the problem, replaced junction contacts with "upgraded" ones. Then noted the clutch motor that closes the door did not complete the job & that the door was not latching! He did not believe that it would open accidentally. …”
