“Sunroof of our Odyssey exploded while driving on highway. I took the car to the dealership and we saw that glass was bowed out. Serviceman at the dealership said this looks to have occurred from pressure inside the vehicle. We had no cargo and nothing was touching the sunroof. Luckily kids were not in the vehicle at the time and vehicle was in control, but this is dangerous and could cause injury.”
NHTSA complaint #11032733, filed 2017-10, 100,000 miles“Although there is a recall (r72) for the Honda Odyssey 2011 for wipers disconnecting from motor. Honda refuses to fix my issue as they say it doesn't fall within the affected batch. The symptom is exactly the same. They are now charging me $30 for the part and $220 with installation. This happened exactly as the description of the recall. They refuse to accept its their issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10690999, filed 2015-02, 66,000 miles“2011 Honda Odyssey touring - the driver side small window forward of the driver door appears to not be sealed correctly. When driving at highway speeds on windy days, there is significant air noise in the cabin of the car. The noise is so pronounced that it often sounds as though a window in the car is cracked open. The sound was first noised the day delivery was taken on the car. This is my 4th Honda Odyssey and 6th Honda product owned by me. This is the first time I ever heard a noise like this. I called service but they offered no conclusion, other than to fix it myself.”
NHTSA complaint #10432475, filed 2011-10, 15 miles“New 2011 Honda Odyssey touring model had a snowflake like crack the size of a half-dollar in passenger side top corner of windshield. Crack was in the center of the glass and could not be felt from the inside or outside. Windshield was replaced by Honda dealer two times and each time the windshield starts to crack after a few days of driving. Each time the installation was performed by a different vendor. Local Honda dealer has come into contact with three similar issues with the 2011 model. …”
NHTSA complaint #10473052, filed 2012-08, 25 miles“On the 2011 Honda Odyssey ex-l (your drop down menu does not give the Odyssey as an option..but it is the Odyssey), the driver's side mirror has a distortion on the outer edge of the mirror which causes the driver to experience dizziness when looking at vehicles at distance. This has been reported by numerous drivers on the web but neither Honda nor criswell Honda in rockville maryland will do anything about the mirror until a Honda bulletin is released which will probably be after an accident.”
