NHTSA complaint #11400085, filed 2021-03, 150,000 miles“My car's starter broke and the mechanic then told me that the engine mounts in the front and rear were broken and needed replacing. In doing an online search, I discovered that this is a common and nagging problem with Odyssey owners. I have owned 6 cars and never heard of such a thing! Thankfully the problem is being fixed before it caused an accident. Is there a recall or planned recall for this problem? My extended warranty expired 2,000 miles ago. Thank you”
NHTSA complaint #10500745, filed 2013-02, 86,000 miles“In november 2005 I purchased a new 2006 Honda Odyssey exl. Within a few days the driver's side power window (it is worth mentioning that I have not had any problem with the other power windows) often times did not close when I tried to close it. The worst times are when it rains or the temperature is cold. While under warranty I took the vehicle to another Honda dealer to have the window repaired. They attempted the repairs but were unable to fix the power window. …”
NHTSA complaint #10482952, filed 2012-11, 360 miles“My 2006 Honda Odyssey's electrical system completely died. I had two dog crates in the back of the minivan with dogs in them. The doors had been locked prior to the failure occurring. Once the electrical system died, I had no way to open the tailgate in order to get the dogs out of the car. I was unable to reach the emergency release because it was blocked by the dog crates. There is no outside key access for the tailgate nor a manual release in the driver's compartment.”
