NHTSA complaint #10473304, filed 2012-09, 74,000 miles“2005 Honda Odyssey '-the sliding doors fell off !!!!!!. I researched and discovered a numerous amount of problems with the sliding doors. There is a recall for newer models and they too have the exact same issues. The problems range from a grinding noise , auto doors not opening completely than closing. To the back of the door slightly opening then the beeping indicator is constantly on while driving. The battery is being drained because the doors never close completely. The center rollers are cheap plastic which I believe causes the grinding noise. Once they wear out it gets worse. …”
NHTSA complaint #11206500, filed 2019-05, 180,000 miles“I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey with 34,000 miles on it. The left rear shock is blown and needs replaced. A vehicle with such low mileage should not have a blown shock. The power steering has problems as well. After the van has been running for 15-20 minutes the power steering makes loud noise during turns and when parking, the power steering becomes very difficult to turn. I have contacted Honda dealer and they are not willing to cover the costs for either repair since I'm past the 36,000 mile or 3years warranty period. From what I have researched, the steering issue is a big problem. …”

From the first day I picked up the vehicle from clinton Honda's parking lot I immediately experienced excessive steering wheel vibration. It was horrible and started at 65 MPH and continued to 75 MPH.

That same day I took the vehicle home and experienced the same problem again. …”
