“Sliding door failure. Both sliding doors failed on jan 17, 2011. The doors were stuck halfway open. I consider this to be a safety issue. Was repaired for the price of $800. Luckily the van was no moving that the time, but we did have to drive it to the mechanic with the doors open.”
NHTSA complaint #10823023, filed 2016-01, 113,048 miles“Front engine mount is broken on Honda Odyssey. There seems to be a lot of owners of Honda Odyssey that report this problem when I searched the internet. I would like DOT to research this issue as experts in this field and determine if there is sufficient number of cases to open a case on this issue. I am getting this work done in the next few weeks. This is not a mechanical part and should not be broken or worn out.”
NHTSA complaint #10403935, filed 2011-05, 98,684 miles“Sliding side doors stick and do not open periodically. This problem began during the 1st year we had the van. When this happens the door must be opened from the outside, but it does not always open easily, evev from the outside. I am the original owner, & the dealer has not been able to correct this problem. So the problem began in 2000 and is still ocurring.”
NHTSA complaint #10205900, filed 2007-10, 1,000 miles“My air conditioner in my 2001 Honda Odyssey stopped blowing cool air, so I took my van in to my dealership. I thought it would be something simple. But, apparently a rock must had hit my condenser and caused a leak. My condenser had to be replaced which ended up costing $750. This was a 5 hour job. I believe that this is a manufacture defect and have researched this issue. There are alot of other Honda odysseys that have had this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10169156, filed 2006-09, 91,470 miles“We have a 2001 Honda Odyssey lx. The power sliding door on the passenger side suddenly quit working and will no longer close properly. The only way we have been able to continue driving the car without the incessant alarm is to shut off the power sliding door function and try to keep it shut. There are several potentially big problems with this. Number one - the kids cannot open the door manually, it is too heavy for them. The only option they have to exit the car is on the traffic side of the vehicle. …”
