• Recall 70974 [USA]: A leak of brake fluid could lead to a change in brake pedal feel and overtime a degradation in braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.
  Honda is recalling certain model year 2005-2007 odyssey and acura rl vehicles. Brake fluid containing polymers is used that acts as a lubricant for certain brake system components. If replacement brake fluid is used that does not contain such polymers, or that contains only small amounts, a part of the rubber seal located at the rear of the brake master cylinder may become dry, and the seal may curl during movement of the piston. If this occurs, a small amount of brake fluid could slowly leak from the seal into the brake booster.
  dealers will replace the brake master cylinder seal free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during december 2010. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
  safety recall no. R51 honda r52 acura.Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov .

• Recall 38748 [USA]: The language in the owner's manuals is not in accordance with the current mandatory requirements.
  On certain passenger vehicles and motorcycles, the owner's manuals contain incorrect contact information for the national highway traffic safety administration's (nhtsa) vehicle safety hotline.
  honda will send a postcard to dealers and owners with the correct nhtsa vehicle safety hotline information and with instructions to insert the card into the "reporting safety defects" section of the owner's manual. The recall began on august 2, 2006. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009, acura at 1-800-382-2238 or honda motorcycles at 1-866-784-1870.

• Recall R/2019/125 [UK]: Inner pressure of the inflator may irregularly rise upon airbag deployment rupturing the inflator container
  Driver air bag may not ignite correctly.
  replace the drivers air bag assembly.

• Recall 2014076 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, the fuel pump strainer could deteriorate and crack. This could result in a fuel smell and/or fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the fuel strainer cover.

• Recall 2010364 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, a seal in the brake master cylinder may be susceptible to damage which can result in a leak if certain conditions exist. The polymer content affects the amount of lubrication the brake fluid provides to brake system components that are exposed to brake fluid. If the brake fluid is replaced with a low polymer brake fluid, and the brake fluid is subsequently subjected to a manual brake fluid bleeding procedure, as opposed to an automated brake bleed procedure, it is possible for the seal at the end of the brake master cylinder primary circuit to become twisted within its retention groove. If this seal becomes twisted, it can result in a leak of a small amount of brake fluid each time the brake pedal is applied. Should a leak occur, after some time the driver will be alerted by the illumination of the low brake fluid indicator light on the meter panel before any effect on braking performance results. If the driver continues to drive the vehicle without refilling the brake fluid reservoir, the vehicle will eventually exhibit a soft or spongy brake pedal feel, requiring more stroke to achieve equivalent braking force. Eventually, if this continues un-remedied, braking performance will be affected, and will finally result in a low pedal and a loss of one braking circuit. Correction: dealers will replace the brake master cylinder seal cup and the master power assembly if brake fluid has leaked.

To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

• Air in brake system investigation as of 20090513

  The office of defects investigation (odi) has received 69 complaints, and honda has received 613 complaints and field reports, alleging low/soft/spongy brake pedal travel in model year (my) 2006 through 2008 honda odyssey minivans.Twenty-six odi complaints were also reported to honda, resulting in a total complaint count of 656.Some complaints allege that the condition resulted in extended stopping distances, including some reports of rolling past stop signs or traffic lights.There are 14 alleged crashes in the subject vehicle population related to low/soft pedals. In response to odis information request for preliminary evaluation pe09-024, honda indicated that small amounts of air may enter the brake system during initial diagnostics of the vehicle stability assist (vsa) modulator while the pump is briefly actuated for system diagnostics after the engine is started.The amount of air gradually increases with each successive engine start cycle, resulting in progressively increasing brake pedal stroke.According to honda, the condition does not present a significant risk to motor vehicle safety because "the pedal stroke gradually increases, providing the driver with information that the brake pedal height is changing and requires attention."honda has further indicated that there is no deterioration of braking performance caused by the subject condition, even though the pedal height and feel are different, until pedal stroke has reached the end of travel and the driver cannot produce any additional brake line pressure.Honda states that it is unaware of any vehicles that have reached such a condition and honda testing using a leaking field return modulator indicates that it would take over a year before the pedal travel would reach its limit during hard stops with 200 n (45 lbf) of pedal effort - the nominal force required to reach abs braking mode. Odis analysis of warranty data indicates that the my 2007-08 odyssey vehicles have experienced the alleged defect at a rate of 0.67%.The my 2006 odyssey vehicles have experienced the alleged defect at a significantly lower rate (0.04%) than the my 2007-08 odyssey.Honda implemented a design change in the my 2007 vehicles to change the vsa diagnostic program. This investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea09-014) for the my 2007-08 odyssey vehicles to continue to investigate the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequences of the alleged defect.

Have a 2006 honda odyssey. The third row seat on the right side will not latch reliably to the floor. Sitting on the seat and/or accelerating causes the seat and passenger to flip backwards. The seat latch is on a swinging panel and is too far forward to meet the floor mounted hoop. There doesn't appear to be any way to adjust the latch position.

While driving down the road and once the engine reaches operating temperature the vehicle fails to accelerate and shift gears. I mash the gas pedal and the rpm gauge goes up but the vehicle doesn't move. I let the engine and transmission cool down and sometimes it will operate properly again until everything warms up. It doesn't matter if im sitting at a light or in actual motion going down the road, the vehicle ceases to continue moving. I have been going 60 mph and all of a sudden my car loses all movement but the car is still reving up and i can change gears but it stops me dead in my tracks. I called the transmission shop and they tell me its a very common issue but nothing has been able to be pinpointed

When driving there is a very noticeable blurriness in the windshield. Seems like a defect in the glass. It's like wearing glasses that are way to strong for what you need and makes driving blurry. I am asking for a new windshield as this one is a defect

Engine oil leak, when i step deep into the brake the steering wheel shakes. The vga alert appears.

Vehicle has a approximately 140,000 mi. While driving on freeway at 65 mph.Transmission torque converter lockup malfunctioned and went into neutral. Had to coast across 4 lanes of traffic to exit. When speed permitted shift down to wnd and qstacks gear and was able to limp into a parkin* lot. Had to have car towed to a transmission facility. Pulled the transmission dip stick and smelled the fluid which emitted a very pungent smell. The fluid was not black. The fluid had been changed 15- 20,000 mi earlier. When talking to mechanic he told me almost exactly how many m8les he thought the car had because he had seen so many honda's with exactly this same problem. I believe that honda did not design this transmission properly to last with proper maintenance and fluid changes.

Car was in park, went to go in drive/reverse and car was beeping that doors were open but all doors were closed. Put car in park, opened all door and reshot them. Put into reverse and started beeping again that doors were not shut.

Odyssey 2006 3.5 has transmission problems. Torque converter needs replacing. When driving there is hardly any acceleration when you apply gas. Catalytic converter and gaskets are faulty. Ignition coil needs replacing before its time. And there is an issue with purge valve that mixes the fuel while driving.

My passenger doors stopped opening by button and handle, turning signals, brights, dash signals, windshield wipers, door locks, horn. All stop working whenever the car feels like it and more then a couple don't work at same time. Driver side passenger seatbelt doesnt stay tight for my daughters car seat abd unable to use other seat as that door doesnt work at all anymore. The steering is also very difficult when turning into a parking spot to the point that i have to use all strength from both arms to pull the wheel into the direction i need the car to go

Vehicle stability assist vsa sign with caution sign on deshboard. Minivan run fine as of now but no idea when & what type problem it create when driving on road.

Driver side power sliding door fell off. Had just parked. No previous issue, just came off the tracks and fell on me as it opened. Very alarming as my toddler was sitting in there in her car seat. I've now had to wait in 108 degree heat waiting for a mobile mechanic. This seems to be an ongoing issue with all odyssey's and really needs to be recalled.

I am having a problem with the power steering freezing up on slow turns and the transmission torque converter clutch is stuck making the car transmission heat up and quit until it cools down, i was stuck on the side of the road 4x for this. Once with my 97 yr old brother in law and 79 yr old sister.They want $4000 to fix this. The driver side sliding door cable broke also.I had the run flat pax tires on it when it was purchased, i was not told that i would have to drive at least 100 to 200 miles to get them changed out as they need a special machine to fix them. I had to buy new rims and tires for $1500. I have 125,000 miles on the car. I will never buy or recommend a honda to anyone.

My husband and i was driving on the freeway out of town for a wedding when all of a sudden we started to smell a really bad smell and the van started to make a noise and sputtering. We quickly exited the next closest exit and the van started to stall. We were not able to accelerate any more. We were already 82 miles from home and not near any businesses. We called roadside service which towed us to the nearest mechanic who told us we needed a new transmission. Our trip was over! We had to pay $350 to tow us back home. My van only has 82,000 miles! I can't believe the transmission failed! This is a safety issue because their were no prior warning before the transmission failure!!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While driving various speeds and when parked on an incline, the contact detected an abnormal odor of fuel emerging from the second row seats. Additionally, there was fuel leaking from underneath the vehicle. The contact called parker johnstone's wilsonville honda (30600 sw parkway ave, wilsonville, or 97070, (503) 985-6958), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

Transmission is not shifting property specifically in the r gear

I was driving fine, all of a sudden, the engine just completely shut down and there was no power. Turn on again, it worked. Drive for 2 miles, it totally shup down again. No power, nothing.

Airbag light came on when starting vehicle and won't go off

Sliding doors on both sides keep stopping and the one on the left you have to pull it open. Doors are very heavy to pull and slide back safety hazard for my children or other passengers. Several people that i run into are having the same issue. After i purchase the vehicle i had to take it in due to the left back sliding door not opening someone had to get in and push on the door in order for it to open. The first time it happened was around 2012 or 2013. Now it's happening again in n2019. Sometimes while driving the left sliding door will open by itself.

Professionally diagnosed at dealership catalaytic converter faulty at less than 90,000 miles with consistent maintenance. There is no reason to have to pay over $2,000 for repairs when the car has been well maintained and has had relatively few miles put on it given its age.

I had all motor mounts replaced april of last year and now in february of 2019 i had replace the back motor mount again. Now i have yet another motor mount going bad. This is ridiculous. The 06 honda odessey needs to be recalled. Even my mechanic said that he sees this all the time with the 06 odesseys

Check air bag light comes on and off. I saw that the 2005 had a recall for the air bag system, wondering if 2006 could be impacted with similar problem. Light comes on both when car is in motion, and when car is in park.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, another vehicle making a left turn at an intersection, while the contact was driving straight, and the contact could not avoid the other vehicle, as a result the contact crashed into the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the neck from the seat belt and back. The front passenger sustained neck and back injuries and rear left passenger sustained neck injuries all required medical attention. The contact mention the other driver did not sustained injuries. A police report was filed. The contact stated that he was nier his residence and drove the vehicle there. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was repaired of the accident damage. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not repaired of the air bag failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 142,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While exiting the vehicle, the contact noticed a persistent fuel odor around the vehicle. The contact called spreen honda (25050 redlands blvd, loma linda, ca 92254, (909) 799-7070) and was informed that there would be a charge for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

After experiencing increasing vibration only during acceleration while driving the 2006 honda odyssey, i did some research. As it turns out, the engine mounts (alternately referred to as "motor mounts") are an extremely well-known defect among consumers. I was as much as told by the pleasant young woman who answered at honda consumer affairs that because the safety concerns of broken engine mounts are negligible, that the manufacturer doesn't really care - despite the fact that is a known defect, is extremely prevalent, is recurring requiring many owners to replace the mounts 2,3 4 or more times over the course of ownership, it has a known cause (the "eco drive" system, and can be very expensive to repair. In fact, what she actually said was that my car did not have a recall associated with it. When i informed her that i already knew that, but wanted to register a complaint with honda and to inquire as to the likelihood of any sort of compensation or repair, i was told to file this complaint. I again explained i'd like to deal with honda, and was again assured that no one there - no one - was interested in hearing my concerns, nor would anyone there do anything about it without intervention from the government. Why has honda not issued a recall? Excessive vibration at high rates of speed can, and does, cause issues with stability and control. The range of speed at which this problem occurs is widening, and the vibration is becoming increasingly strong. As of now, it occurs only while accelerating, not at all during coasting, mostly at highway or freeway speeds, or lower speeds during rapid acceleration.

Takata recall. We received an email from the selling dealer telling us that a problem may exist with the air bags in our car. They provided us with a recall number ( ea 15001). I went to our local honda dealer in fort myers fl. And they told us that there is no recall for our vehicle. We are not sure who to believe. Please set the record straight.

Upon acceleration of the vehicle on all roads there is an uncontrollable shaking. From a complete stop or from driving and trying to accelerate,

The 2 sliding doors open while the vehicle is in motion. This should not happen. The door closes and latches but becomes unlatched when driving at any speed. This is a safety issue. I have read about many other owners who have the same issue online. When we contact honda they say it is not their problem and they won't fix it without me paying for it because my van is out of warranty. Please look into this because it is a safety issue.

Heater coil

When starting or parking car p/s does not work. Also loud grinding noise when turning. Had pressure hose changed. Situation getting worse and is becoming dangerous. From mu mechanic and the internet learned that honda had silent recall but was never notified and that recall was up to 100k. This is a saftey issue and a mandatory recall should be launched. This seems to be a common problem from what i have been reading. This has been going on for some time.

Takata recall i own a 2006 honda odessey and the torc converter is failing will driving. Honda has a complaint failed against them for no addressing this issue..

Dealer states front engine mount needs to be replaced after only 74,000 miles. "motor mount - front: worn out" is the exact statement. A simple web search yields numerous references to broken or worn out motor mounts on honda vehicles with 6 cylinder engines. At what point does the nhtsa take notice? When does honda take responsibility for this issue?

The back doors in the car do not latch properly. One door opens while driving and the other only latches on one side.

The two automatic electronic side doors were grinding and having a hard time closing. When closing or opening, the doors would bounce/skip and return to the starting position. Today the driver side door just fell off the track and was hanging by a thin cable. This also caused some body damage.

In motion the engine was making a loud rattle as if something was hitting the vehicle's fan. Turns out it is the camshaft position sensor. Because there is a tsb out my extended warranty company is refusing to cover this repair that runs over $3k.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While the contact was loading the trunk, the hatch slammed down without warning.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.

This van has been a frustrating nightmare. Besides the pax system tire issues, we have had to fix both sliding doors because they fell off. Last summer the door wouldn't close, then it fell off the track while i was out shopping with my kids. My husband came with some tools and helped to get it closed so we could take it to the auto shop. It was an expensive fix not to mention the damage to the exterior. Yesterday while i was at the library with four of my children ( 8,6,3, and a baby) the other door came off the track. This time, my husband was not around to come help us ( he is deployed serving in afghanistan). We had to get the van towed, and the door stayed open all night because the shop was closed. While there, one of the men working said he is having the same problem with his odyssey. Looking online i see this is a common issue because a piece was made with nylon ( to reduce noise) when it should have been made with steel. There is obviously something wrong with the hardware on this. Honda needs to fix these, instead of leaving the burden to rest on the consumers who purchased these pieces of junk. What a frustrating situation!

The vehicle was taken to southeastern honda (located at 3125 dixie highway ne palm bay, fl 32905) where it was diagnosed that the seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 171,000.

Horrible vibration in eco mode due to vcm (3 cylinders shutting down) at all speeds. Noticed vibration when speed exceeds 50 mph. Honda dealer noted this is most likely due to eoo mode but vibration is too much to be normal. Vibration increases in intensity when accelerating above 50 mph. 5 service inspections and master technicians cannot diagnose problem(s)yet. Engine mount failure noted by other owners describe the problem precisely.

While driving down the interstate approx 80 miles per hour this past june my sunroof shattered. I am fairly certain nothing hit it-just spontaineously shattered.

Water collects in the entire trunk/cargo area during and after rain. It has completely covered the entire cargo area including saturating the carpeting with over 4" of standing water in cargo area. Vehicle can either be parked and water collects or while diving locally.

Vehicle steering is stiff on slow turns and parking. Steering column vibrates at a high rate of speed. Tie rods have been replaced. New tires, rotors and brake pads have also been replaced. High pitched sound also comes from steering column while idling in stationary position. Moisture appears around o-ring leading into the steering fluid pump. Regular maintenance has already been performed since purchase (new in april 2006). The steering issue concerns me as the 'symptoms' come and go. I've talked with others who have same model/year and they experience same problem. Honda owes it to their customers to issue a recall on this 2006 honda odyssey power steering problem. It's a costly repair that seems to be prevalent in quite a few 2006 odyssey's. Service records for this vehicle are in owners possession.

The engine mounts broke and had to be replaced even if the mileage is only 61,000 miles. This is way too premature and reflects an issue with the original mounts. Honda should cover my repairs expenses and should issue a recall as i understand this is a common recurring problem for odyssey.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While operating the vehicle, the turn signal, windshield wiper, and various electrical features including the electronic liftgate and sliding doors would not operate. Also, the doors would not unlock when using the key fob. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures.

This vehicle has left/right electric sliding passenger doors. The doors have begun to open and close on their own. It has done so while the vehicle is in motion creating a fearful situation. The doors have also opened on their own while parked and unattended. Fingers have been pinched trying open or close the doors manually. This problem has been going on for months. Thier are numerous internet entries about this problem.

Electrical problem with sliding doors. Right directional in front will not work checked fuses and tried 3 bulbs. Only drivers side window opens. Major major safety issue when your doors and window will not open especially while driving with children

This is a car i just purchased from owner, my report is the soft brake pedal. Having just put on new pads, it didn't make any change in the pedal as it would with most cars? Is there any recall on this car for brakes. I read where many other owned have this same issue.

Transmission failure at 100,065 miles. Original owner with all service checks done at dealer. Research indicates this is a far too common problem in honda odysseys. Cost to repair over $4,000. Feel the deal should replace for free or significantly reduced rate.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While driving at low speeds, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the vehicle stalled intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with electrical failures. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000. The vin was not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. When the vehicle was started, the air bag indicator remained illuminated. The failure recurred every time the vehicle was started without warning.

The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The sub-frame, rr assembly got so severely corroded that it has cracks and fractures and now there is a small hole in it which is deemed as a safety issue that we can't even drive the vehicle. The cost to repair it is more than half my vehicle value at this point. What is pretty interesting is that the honda dealers don't stock the part (50300-shj-a01) and can't really say if or when they can get the part. More than a couple of them have told me that they've never ordered this part before, which leads me to assume that this could not be a normal wear and tear failure. I called honda and they will not rely on a 3rd party (my trusted & reputed local mechanic) opinion and would like me to take the vehicle, most likely tow it, to the dealer at my expense and get it diagnosed at my expense, which my mechanic has already done. That seems unreasonable to me. Can someone help me resolve this matter? This happened when my car was in for an oil service and the technician happened to notice the crack in the part. The reference number of my conversation with honda is: 05223162

Interior water leak from roof panel side curtain airbag. This is not an accident. I bought this vehicle on june 28,2016 from a dealer. It is a used car that is not warranty from the dealer. But when it is raining, water leak from roof panel side curtain airbag.

Power steering stiff at low speeds or parking and very loud howling noise, mechanic state there is a recall but i do not see any, almost had numerous accidents due to this issue of stiff steering and unable to turn

One of the seat belts for the middle seat does not have a standard release button. Instead, you have to try to use the metal clip piece or a key or other rigid thing item to release the belt. I always thought of this as an annoying design, but did not realize how dangerous this was until my daughter got it wrapped around her neck. The seat belt was locked in the ceiling and retracting tighter as she struggled. She is fine and i got her out without any real damage, but this is an incredibly dangerous design and should not be allowed as some other child may not be as lucky. The car was not moving at the time, it was parked. It happened in my moms 2016 odyssey, but it has the same design in my vehicle listed. *tr

Sun roof exploded while driving down the highway going 65 mph. The sun roof was closed and all other windows were closed. The temperature was in the mid 50s with light rain, visibility good. There was no known reason for the explosion - nothing overhead, no vehicle traveling in front of us.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle lost steering ability. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 58,000.

The paint is peeling off from the hood, side and the roop. Specially, last sunday, we had a heavy rain and the snow. After that day. The peeling part totally peeled off. It looks bad(gross).

Transmission. This vehicle has had two transmissions in the past 3 months. For some reason they keep going up. I have had multiple repair companies tell me that the honda odyssey has the worst transmissions. The transmission went up on me while on vacation with my family and left us stranded 4 1/2 hours from home. I would not recommend a honda odyssey.

The power windows are no longer working. The driver side is the only one that will open.

I drove my honda minivan for 10 years and one day i was pulling into a parking space at work and when i stepped on the brake to slow down the car, it suddenly accelerated so fast that it hit the wall and set off the air bag. The car was totaled and i had burns from the the airbag on my neck and arm.

Excessive oil consumption. Used one quart of oil after 1000 miles.

Engine mount failure: 3 motor mounts have failed . The car mechanic says he only changes motor mounts on odysseys and no other car has same issue with the mounts. I googled motor mount failure and it is quite a lot of complaint s and i'm wondering if the odyssey has so many issue with motor mounts why have they not been recalled. If not fixed there are catastrophic issues and possible loss of life. I like my car, for the most part but it seems to have many issues , some recalled. It's frustrating and costly.

The spark plug blew out of the cylinder head while driving on a major 8 lane highway at 65 mph. If i didn't react quickly & there was a car to the right of me, i very easily could've been in a dangerous accident. Unsure if there was any engine damage.

The fluid filled motor mounts that come on the exl/touring model have both failed and fluid leaked out. The concept behind these electronically controlled motor mounts is to dampen the vibration when the van goes into eco mode reducing the active cylinders from 6 to 3. When these mounts fail the van vibrates considerably in the eco mode. I googled the issues and see that their are many others with this same issue from year 2005 -2007 at all different levels of mileage. The cost of repair through honda is over $1800. I have never seen such a run on motor mounts as i have when trying to research the issue which makes me thing there is a engineering/design flaw. Left un-repaired and honda told me that the vibration can cause many other issues rendering the van unsafe to drive.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that there were strong fumes of fuel emitting inside the vehicle. The contact inspected underneath the vehicle and noticed a leak under the front end. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 14e049000 (fuel system, gasoline) and 14v112000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

One of the passenger sliding doors no longer opens. It will start to open & then close as if there is something in the way. There is nothing in the way. Inoperable at his time.

While stopped in traffic, engine began hard acceleration and front tires began screeching. This occurred 4x within 10 days. With each experience there was no warning. It was fortunate that foot was on brake pedal at that time.

Seat belt on drivers side gets wet every time it rains. Water is getting into where the seat belt recoils when not on the driver.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 10 mph, the rear passenger door slid open independently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not provided. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.

For starters i had transmission rebuit and its needs replaced again this is at 120000 miles then at 135000 miles. I havent got it replaced yet, but my mechanic gave me the warning. Also said all odysseys transmissions fail.Like its a ongoing problem. Number 2. My passengerfront door gets stuck and you cant open ot even though its unlocked. 3..The middle seat second row the small seat that unlatches, unlatches while driving.

There is rust over the rear wheels on both sides. I have seen this on almost every single similar honda odyssey, same model as the 2006 model i own. The rust is on the body panels immediately over the rear wheels, on both the driver's and passenger sides. This has happened gradually, and occurs on no other part of the vehicle, so it is a quality control issue.

When we were traveling out west, we started to notice a distinct "whine" in the engine compartment. After returning home and having driven thousands of miles, we took the car to the dealer and discovered that the rear motor mount had broken and was causing the fan to make a noise when the engine itself "heaved" upon accelerating. It cost $1100 for the repair. I am filing this complaint because there are several similar complaints on here, and there probably should be a recall before someone gets seriously injured.

While traveling on the highway and approaching speeds between 45mph to 65mph the entire car started to shake violently, as if the car was going to fall apart. I immediately brought it to an independent dealer and i was informed the engine motor mounts were failing.

The brakes acted as a term stated soft brake pedal. The brakes should have stopped the vehicle in a shorter distance than they actually did. From a speed of approximately 50 mph it took about 150 ft to stop and it still required hitting the car infront of me to stop at about 5 mph. I felt the abs kick in but for pushing the pedal as hard as i could the wheels did not even squeal or chirp. It felt like the vehicle was just coming to a slow stop.

I was driving about 60 mph on a highway when my 2006 honda odyssey began shaking and vibrating. The shaking was so bad the rearview mirror became loose and eventually fell off the front window. If i would have had a coffee cup sitting in the beverage holder the rearview mirror would have splashed hot coffee on my shorts and down my leg. This same situation would occur if i would have had a toll-road transponder attached to the windshield just below the rearview mirror. This is the second time an engine mount has failed on my honda odyssey. I paid $1,706.13 to replace a failed engine mount on august 6, 2014.

Only driver side window works. All three passenger windows click when power button depressed but don't work. Looked for reasons on line found many people with same problem.

I bought my 06 odyssey touring edition in 2015. I am the second owner and it only had 115,000 miles on it. I had no problems at first and then soon after started having a shuttering problem around 45 mph. I had a saturn vue with the same problem and had the same motor and transmission as my honda. Chevrolet did a recall on it i brought it in the reprogrammed and recalibrated it no problems after that. So when my honda started i brought it to the dealer to see if there was a recall and they said not on my vin. So i asked how much to reprogram and recalibrate and the told me that if it does not have a new update then they could not do it (which i know is bull since we own a mechanic shop and deal with things like this all the time). I do not have the $3000 plus to fix the torque converter and feel if other vehicle with same transmissions have been recalled then this one should be too!!!

Tl* the contact owned a 2006 honda odyssey. Twenty minutes after parking the vehicle, the contact came outside to find the fire department extinguishing a fire that had engulfed the vehicle.

The rear lower motor mounts wear out prematurely and cause unwanted vibrations and steering play. This is a known issue and has not been rectified. The dealership charges $800 to replace the defective parts.....Updated 11/13/15 *bf updated 11/17/15.*jb

Motor mounts failed causing violent shudder at highway speed. I've seen hundreds of complaints online about this problem on honda odyssey with low miles. It should be recalled as this is defect. *tr

Vehicle with driver only was traveling west on i80 a couple of miles before the sf oak bay bridge in the far left lane going approx 60 miles per hour (5 mph below posted limit) in heavy traffic. Car in adjacent right lane darted into the left lane in front of me to avoid an accident and slammed on his brakes at the same time. I hit the brakes immediately and the abs engaged but since the car trying to avoid the accident, imact occured at a speed less than 60 mph. Car behind me slammed into my back end. There was significant impact to the front and rear of the vehicle. I was wearing my seat belt which i beleive helped save my life but injuries did occur. I sustained serious head (concussion), neck (muscle strain) and back (spinal nerve damage). Head and neck injuries appear to have resolved but continue to have pain and damage to back (spinal and nerve) the reason for this complaint report is that none of the numerous airbags on the honda odessey deployed during this high impact to both the front and rear of the vehicle. I honestly don't know if this was a good thing or bad but i would have expected the airbags to deploy, which i believe would have helped minimize the injuries i incurred the case is under investigation by my insurance company (progressive) but at this point they have concluded the fault of the accident was the person that shifted lanes in an attempt to avoid an accident in his lane coming into my "safe zone" as the police called it. I asked them to hold the car for inspection by honda authorities a few weeks after the accident i called honda to report that the airbags did not deploy. They gave me case number 12015-04-0701544. They called yesterday and said they were not going to check car. I feel it is their obligation to see if there is a flaw in the ab's. I don't want another party to die or be injured as a result of faulty airbags.

Brakes are really weak. Even dealerships are of no help. Honda should be held responsible for any untoward incidents due to these defects. Also vsa modulator is faulty and honda dealership is charging $2k for the repairs!

Hi my complaint with this 2006 honda odyssey is the front and rear motor mount broke frequently and are absolutely very expensive every user of this van have the same complaint about this van.

Brought van in for tire rotation, and was informed that 2 of the motor mounts were torn/broken and needed to be replaced-possibly all 4! Have noticed serious wobble and thought it had to do with suspension...Was quoted 800.00 to fix 2 motor mounts. *tr

Mva occurred 1/16/2015 - impact left front quarter. Had trouble opening driver's door. Steering column airbag deployed. However, driver's side curtain airbag did not deploy resulting in head trauma as driver's head hit the driver's side window. Impact should have set off side curtain airbag sensors. Vehicle was totaled & sold by insurance company without dealer inspection of problem. I would not have thought twice about it had it not been brought to my attention by article about recent honda airbag recalls. I believe that these incidents are under reported and that there are more "failure to deploy" than those listed under complaints. Please contact for police report....Updated 02/11/15 *bf

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while parked in a garage, fuel fumes emitted from the vehicle as the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred numerous. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000. The vin was unavailable.

The rear trunk door does not unlock with key remote or from door unlock switch. The door does not have a key hole or manual unlock provision. This is a safety hazard in case of accident as you cannot open the trunk by any other mechanism as it will not unlock electronically. *tr

There was excessive vibration of vehicle and we took it to honda dealership in raleigh, nc and were told the front and rear engine mounts have all collapsed. We have also been informed that this is a very common problem in odyssey's. This needs to be a safety recall. *tr

Honda service technician noted the front and side motor mounts to be broken while the van was in for routine oil and filter change. Cost of repair $1100. Van is used as a family commute car not on off roads, only on paved ones and no accidents at all. *tr

Broken engine mounts. I fixed the front one in nov 2014. The engine is now rattling while it is idling. I am now being told that the front engine mount needs replacing as well as the rear one. I have seen many honda chat boards and many others are experiencing this same problem and honda is not stepping up to help this systemic problem. Hoping this kicks them into gear. *tr

Power windows stop working except the driver side. *tr

My 2006 honda odyssey is just out of warranty about 60,000 miles now. Vsa light comes on and stays on. Dealer said vsa modulator bad and need $1400 to fix it. Braking is very soft and need to press pedal at least 200-300 feet away before red light to ensue the full stop. Feel dangerous when driving highspeed on hwy/fwy. I researched and learned the vsa malfunction might cause sudden brake during driving. What will that be if car auto-braked when driving on freeway? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v112000 (fuel system, gasoline). The dealer stated that they would not replace the fuel pump because there were no cracks. The contact stated that the recall notification explained that even if there were no failures with the fuel pump, it still had to be replaced. An independent mechanic replaced the fuel pump. The manufacturer was notified of the replacement, but refused to reimburse the contact because the vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic. The contact had not experienced a failure.

My 2006 odyssey was hit on the passenger 2nd row by a vehicle that ran a stop sign and sustained significant damage to the 2nd row passenger side. The impact caused the odyssey to spin and was pushed at least 20 feet before being stopped by the curb. My wife was driving and she sustained minor injuries- no one was in the 2nd row thankfully. When i viewed the condition of the vehicle, there was no question in my mind that the side curtain airbag should have deployed. However, after inquiring further to verify this assumption, i discovered that no airbag was deployed. I was shocked to learn this. The side curtain airbag should have deployed and did not. I consider this to be a malfunction, and i am informing you of it as such. In my opinion this is a matter of public safety because a side curtain air bag should deploy when vehicle is hit hard and directly on its side. I was left with the thought of why do they even install these if it does not deploy in this type of accident. I can provide pictures which substantiate the force of the impact and damage sustained. Thank you. *tr

My 2006 honda odyssey went up in flame, while i was driving the vehicle, on 10/11/14. Insurance had me tow it to the honda dealer. After honda having the car for 31 days the insurance paid the repairs & i paid my $500.00 deductible. I'm ready to drive my honda odyssey away on 11/13/14, and i notice the van began to shake violently and the rpm's dropped to almost 0. No report was given to me about what was wrong with van & what future repairs had to be done. All i got was the present repairs due to the fire, even after we had asked them to do a full inspection of the vehicle. Prior to the fire the van never shook, it never had this problem before. While there, they performed the changing of the fuel pump which had been recalled by honda, but now we can not be sure that it was done nor can we be sure that it didn't affect the cars status now. Honda still has the van in their lot & insurance adjuster went to see the car and now honda is saying that the shaking of the car has nothing to do with the fire. According to honda's final report the "probable" cause of fire was in the alternator area -sub-cord alternator to fuse box. Honda said the shake is caused by the rubber motor mounts. I tried to tell honda they are rubber pieces and when rubber comes in contact with heat it melts. Honda will not fix without me paying out of pocket. If the problem really is the motor mounts, i have researched that many people are awaiting a recall from honda on the motor mounts for the fact that theirs prematurely fails. Honda has us on a back and fourth. If they can't be sure what caused the fire and are disregarding the motor mounts going bad due to the fire or the fuel pump recall, then how can they be sure that none of the above is not causing the violent shake on the van. *tr

On 10/10/2014 while driving the car through an intersection going 45 mph the dashboard lights and the engine shut down. The vehicle would not start and we narrowly avoided an accident while coasting through the intersection. The vehicle would not start again and we pushed the vehicle into a parking lost space. While waiting for someone to jump the car the vehicle start again. Again on 10/11/2014 while turning into a shopping center parking lot the vehicle's engine shut off without warning and would not start again. This again almost resulted in an accident. At this time we consider this vehicle no safe to operate if the vehicle will shut off while driving without warning. There are numerous stories like this happening with honday odysseys on the internet. *tr

I took my van in to wilde honda on 9/17/14 for a recall on the fuel pump nodule. The day i picked it up, i noticed a very loud sound from my engine. I had a friend drive the car the afternoon of 9/26/14 to see if he could understand what was wrong with it. When he got in to drive it, my check engine light was on, my d light was blinking and the car will not shift out of second gear. Additionally, the transmission fluid smells like it is burning. I have now had a mechanic review it and the transmission has completely failed and i need to have a new one put in. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While driving at 15 mph, the rear driver side door automatically opened. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.

My van has never been in an accident yet the rear engine mount collapsed and made my engine shake back and forth causing a vibration during driving. They tell me this happened because of stop and go driving. I know many people who own these vans and all of them have had to have this faulty part replaced. It should be recalled. The repair cost over one thousand dollars and it took them less than 1 1/2 hours to fix. *tr

My odyssey needs a complete transmission overhaul, and will cost more than $3,000.00. I always thought that japanese vehicles are durable, reliable, and long-lasting, with toyota being one of the best, but honda being the best of the best. Now, i am very disappointed with honda. I am hoping for honda to recall the transmission for the odyssey. I have 4 friends that have the same problem with their own odysseys. And my auto mechanic disclosed to me that this is a regular and consistent problem that is brought to him by his customers. Please recall the odyssey transmission to relieve us of the financial burden, and to regain our confidence to honda vehicles. Thank you. *tr

Loud clunking sound coming from under the drivers engine side - had car checked and mechanic replaced motor mounts, but still making same noise - almost sounds like engine will drop out at any moment. Also when traveling on highway at speeds of 55 or higher, van will shake uncontrollably and also randomly at low speeds when just starting from a complete stop. I do not feel safe with my children in the van under these conditions, from reading complaints, it definitely sounds like honda should be responsible for this malfunction.

Motor mounts got broken and are bad designs from honda. The cost to repair is very expensive. And it is a safety hazard. Poor quality from honda. *tr

Transmission shudders around 37 mph. *tr

When i was on vacation with my family, the driver side passenger door would not close. It would close partly, begin beeping and reopen. We had to keep pressing the control to close the door until it finally closed. Two days before that, the liftgate struts failed. That is disturbing when i think about how my daughter was helping me get items out of the back. We could have been seriously injured. Thirdly, the paint is stripping off on parts of the body. Considering the reputation that honda is supposed to have, it is upsetting to have this many problems with an 8 year old vehicle! Now we must decide if it's worth fixing and keeping or trade it in for a toyota. In looking at the other complaints, it is obvious that there are problems with the vehicle that needs to be addressed but are not being addressed. How seriously does someone have to be hurt before someone pays attention? *tr

The car was leaking a brownish-orange liquid from the front middle of the engine area. Three of the five engine mounts were found to be broken and all needed to be repaired. I was told by the mechanic that this is a common problem with hondas that have a v6 engine. If this is such a wide-spread problem, why is it not fixed by honda? This really greatly increased the cost of overall honda ownership. *tr

The 4 motor mounts with the mileage of 54,365 have failed. There are countless complaints of this serious defect from honda and it is not being addressed. I went in for an oil change and was told my motor mounts need to be replaced! If i did not need an oil changed, would my engine fall to the ground. This failure should not be happening on a vehicle with 54,000 miles. Why is this not a safety recall initiated by the nhtsa? *tr

I wan on vacation 500 miles away from home. Driving the 2006 honda odyssey as normal on the highway. All of a sudden the engine started over-revving and the van slowed down. I pulled over safely.

We purchased honda odyssey new in 2006. I noticed steering issues almost immediately and reported it during routine service. Even after recall, issue continues. Noticed a fluid leak & mentioned it during service- was told there was a broken seal that was causing van to leak transmission fluid & "fixed" for $1500. After this fluid continued to leak, made an appointment to take van back. While driving on highway 2 days before scheduled appointment, lights on dash came on and van lost power steering while on the highway going 55 mph. Able to get off the highway without power steering. Towed to the honda dealer and told the broken seal was actually not the problem for the transmission fluid leak - i need a new transmission. Lost steering due to a belt that had broken due to constant leaking fluid on it. So disappointed with honda. Husband had made me brand loyal now i'm anti-honda. Sounds like my issues are very common in this model. *tr

I noticed an oil leak on the vehicle. When taken to the mechanic he found that the spool valve is leaking. The honda dealer informed us that there are no replacement parts available. The oil is leaking on the exhaust manifold and is a very possible fire hazard. This is a family vehicle and this issue is a very serious one. *tr

Engine vibrating violently at speeds of 35-40 mph and when rpm are between 1,500 to 2,000. The possible causes are faulty engine mounts, transmission, or engine. Honda replaced the power steering due to problems. I also replaced the run flat tires with non run flat because the run flat last only 1 year. I want to vibration to be resolved. The vibration appears to be a manufacturer defect according to online honda owners groups. *tr

Engine started chugging and lost power, sputtering. Then died and couldn't restart. Was towed to local mechanic who could not diagnosis.

As i was driving down the highway at around 70 mph with the cruise control on, when the battery dashboard indicator illuminated. Within 20 minutes the vehicle's electrical systems began to die. I was able to drive to an auto parts store and purchase a new battery. Replacing the battery did not eliminate the battery indicator and the vehicle died again on my way home again driving around 70 mph on the interstate. This time the vehicle was towed a service station where the battery and alternator were both tested and found to work properly. The vehicle was then towed to a local honda dealership to try and identify the cause of the parasitic drain. It does not seem reasonable for a vehicle with a properly functioning alternator to lose all electrical power and die with in operation and indicates a defect in the electrical system. *tr

It started with a loud clunk noise coming from the engine area anytime i turned a corner or drove over a bump in the road. It started happening all the time. Took it in and was notified that the engine mounts were going out. I was quoted $1900.00 to replace all 5!! Now my car shakes violently on the freeway going 60 mph. This is indicative of the engine mounts breaking. This is a major defect!! This needs to be a safety recall. I have read many complaints about this. Honda needs to be responsible for the repairs! *tr

When we took delivery of our 2006 honda odyssey on january 21, 2014 the right hand door was not opening/closing properly. The sales personnel said that it could possibly be weather related and to give it some time and that if it continued to not work properly then to bring the van back and they would fix it. We had just undergone an ice storm here in michigan, in december 2013, and had unusually cold temperatures which stayed until early march. I contacted the dealer after the weather had warmed a bit and told them about the door and they said that the van was out of warranty but that they would work on it as a good faith gesture. The van was taken in and the center roller assembly of the right side sliding door was replaced. The door worked properly for a couple of weeks and then started to not work properly. The symptoms the door was exhibiting were that of a failed release actuator. I have found through research that this is one of the most common problems with the 3rd generation honda odyssey vans and when i contacted the dealer regarding this issue they said there was nothing they could do unless i was willing to pay for it. They had even noted it in the van's service record that the release actuator might have to be replaced but elected not to do it at the time they replaced the center roller because the van's door tested ok. *js

I was told today that my front engine mount needs to be replaced. My van only has 79,586 miles on it. It seems to be a very common defect in theses vans. *tr

Took vehicle to honda dealer it was bought from for routine service. Dealer reported to me that 3 engine mounts were broken. One engine mount had previously broken and been repaired by this dealer. I am in my 70's, retired, and drive cautiously. How can 4 engine mounts break? *tr

On my way to work on january 14, 2014, as i was getting up to speed (from 0 to 20), the engine revved around 2000 rpm, the transmission would not engage 2nd gear. I backed off the gas pedal and the transmission engaged. The check engine light lit up and i drove it to a honda dealership. The service department said that their diagnostic revealed an internal issue with the transmission and would need replacement. I have owned 7 hondas since 1983, and i have never had this type of problem. The van is at a local transmission shop rebuilding the transmission for $1500, honda wanted $5300. The van has been well maintained over the years and i'm very surprised that the transmission would go at 141,000 miles, but transmission issues appears to be a problem with the odyssey lineup over the years. Unfortunately, i was not made aware of these issues prior to purchase. Disappointing. *tr

Experiencing vibration in vehicle during acceleration between 40-60 mph. Took the van to mechanic and was informed that two motors mounts are bad and need replacing. These are not wear and tear items and should not need replacing. This appears to be a problem with honda odyssey vans and this problem is not being covered by warranty since the failure occurs around 100k to 150k miles. *tr

Van has manual sliding doors. Upon shutting passenger side door normally the door would not open from either the interior or exterior. Child safety lock was off. Lock mechanism works normally but door latch will not disengage. Six months later at 172000 miles the driver side sliding door experienced the same failure resulting in a seven passenger vehicle with no egress for passengers in case of emergency. Upon removal of interior door panels it is clear there is an internal failure of the latch mechanism. All cables and controls work normally but the latches have failed. *tr

While there is already a honda service bulletin issued concerning problem (bulletin #: 11-039). The response by honda is not adequate. The problem is that the steering wheel is hard to turn at low speeds (such as turning into and out of parking spots). Although this defect with the power steering pump only occurs at low speeds it still a safety issue. The fact that is very hard to turn the steering wheel can reasonable lead to pedestrian accident such as pedestrian becoming pinned against a car. Honda extended the warranty on this part to 7 years / 100,000 miles. I have under 80,000 miles on my car but honda claims i am a few months beyond the 7 year date. Honda should be required to further extend this warranty as many people will not be able to afford this expensive repair and it could leave to injury to persons in parking lots. *tr

I am the original owner of 2006 honda odyssey. The vehicle was always serviced by honda dealer every few months for oil change and other scheduled maintenance. Right after my extended warranty expired last august 2013, santan honda in chandler had told me that i had two cracked engine mounts. The vehicle was never raced nor towed anything. It was purely used by wife to haul my dogs to the park and grocery the cost was close to $900 including part, labor and tax. I have afraid the other engine mounts will fail anytime soon. It is very unusual for engine mounts to fail immaturely at such low mileage. I have seen many odysseys owner of model year 2005-2006 had similar complaints.Please refer to another compliant number 10425453. Please investigate if it qualifies for a recall. *tr

Power steering failed at car park, difficulty steering the van out of parking spot,power steering resumed while driving at low speed. Problem recurred multiple time usually from starting the van and steering it out of parking spot. Honda found the power steering pump to be faulty and replaced it with me footing the bill of $687.13,as the van was just out of the seven year extended warranty. Similar problem was noted when the van was about 2 years old but honda couldn't replicate the problem at their center....They never made a note of this in their records! *tr

I was taking care of my timing belt change at dealer and i mentioned my vehicle vibrating a lot lately and i was told that they found front and rear motor mounts broken which is unusual for family van which has only 71000 miles and driven very carefully.Cost of repair is about 2000 dollars and i saw many complaints online when i searched about it. *tr

Appears that there is an o ring issue on this year honda odyssey. Air is getting in the power steering pump/lines causing a whining during turns and acceleration. This is an issue that warrants a "tsb" to the mechanics and service industry, however, honda has yet to announce a recall or offer assistance in the matter. This is our second honda...We drove an accord to 246k miles and are big honda fans. Hate that there is a known issue and no recall. *tr

The trunk does not stay open. It almost caught my arm and hand. *tr

On my 2006 odyssey had to replace the front brakes at around 19,000 miles due to shaking of the car when braking. Recently at 34,000 miles the vsa warning light came on, took it to my local honda dealership and it was diagnosed that the vsa modulator needs to be replaced and that it's dangerous to drive the minivan. A quick search on the internet reveals that the vsa is a common issue. I question the quality of such an important piece of equipment and the high price to replace, over $1000. With such low mileage such parts should not go bad. I see that honda issued a recall for a vsa issue but for 2007-2008 odysseys. I believe it should include all years. *tr

I was backing up in my honda when i stopped to see if i was going to hit something. I am sure i put my vehicle in park, started to exit the van on the drivers side, i was the driver, and realized that the van was moving backwards. I had my left foot on the ground before i knew i was moving. The drivers door hit me and i was on the black top hitting my face and knees, my right leg was under the van and the left front tire tore up my right leg. My drivers door closed and i yelled for help which several people came to my aid. The people was able to shut off my van and they lifted the van off my leg. I was taken to the hospital where they stitched up my leg and took several x rays, i had no broken bones. It took 3 months for my wounds to heal and my knee still has a lot of pain. *tr

Power steering still does not work at slow speeds. I had the fix done at the dealer back when honda offered to extend the warranty and fix the problem for those vehicles having issues (2012), but it is already doing the same thing again. Now honda wants me to pay to replace the power steering pump. I have had nothing but trouble and noise out of the power steering in this vehicle since day 1 and i bought it brand new. Honda power steering pumps must be defective for there to be so many people with trouble. *tr

Driving at 50 mph on a friday night. My van suddenly gave a loud explosive sound and the cabin filled up with smoke and i could not breathe or see properly. I wondered what was going on and quickly pulled up on the side of the road. It took me some time to get out of the van since i am disabled. My husband had to literally speaking, carry me out and sat me on the side of the road. Passers by had already called 911 when they noticed what was going on. The police, ambulance and fire dept came. The fire dept determined that my van was smoking heavily and they took care of the fire in my engine when they opened the hood. The van was towed to the dealership and they informed me that my transmission was defective. The only problem was that this will then be the third transmission in a van that is less than 8 years old. I had a similar problem in july 2011 at 80,000 miles and the transmission was replaced then with promises from honda that i was good for another 5 years. So when this problem occurred exactly 2 years to the time that the second transmission was replaced, i reported the problem to honda and they want me to pay for a third transmission. This is despite the fact that i always serviced my van with the dealership. It has never been serviced with the local repair shop. I am still making car payments on my van and they want me to pay for a new transmission? I will appreciate an investigation on why honda is allowed to sell lemons to consumers even though they are aware of transmission problems on the odyssey vans. Smoke and fire due to recurring transmission problems on the same van is a safety issue. I pray that no one will be killed or injured due to recurring transmission problems with honda odyssey vans. Thanks in advance for your assistance in protecting and ensuring consumer safety as we drive our cars. *tr

Power steering groans loudly in weather below 70 degrees. The blogosphere is rife with reports of a faulty o-ring placement in these odyssey's that impacts that operation of the power steering. *tr

Driving on a major 4 lane highway @ approx. Speed of 70. Suddenly the steering went out of control. It was loose,but i was unable to control. The road was dry,temperature was about 70 degrees. Fortunately,i was able to glide to a grassy median strip without hitting anybody,or have them hit me. The vehicle was towed to a local garage. They could find no problem. We contacted honda customer service,who told us to bring it to a dealer which we did. They had no findings. Both of these places feel the vehicle is unsafe to drive, but told us to come and get it. We,needless to say, are very afraid to drive it. We have never had anything to complain about with this van. *tr

I am writing you in reference to my honda odyssey that was purchased in october 2006. In august of this year (2013) the transmission stopped working. I had to have the van towed to an auto shop in vermont to get fixed. The shop had to do a transmission rebuild. The transmission rebuilt cost me three thousand and four hundred and sixty-three dollars ($3463.00). I spoke with the owner of the auto shop and he advised me that honda odyssey's are known to have transmission problems. I also verified this information on-line. *tr

Power tailgate opened and came right down hitting my wife. She was not hurt. When we purchased the honda we were told this would not happen that there was a safety system that would make the tailgate go back up if it came down on a person or object. Which is what it has done in the past. We have an appointment to take the car into the dealer honda of sumner at 7:30 am on 8/12/2013 to have them look at it. We took it into today and a guy ( not a service guy looked at it and said he didn't know what was causing the problem.) i did some research and it appears to be a tailgate strut problem which i understand is a recall on 2008-2009 models. Action number ea08-015. *tr

I am the owner of a 06 honda odyssey which i bought with alittle over 35000 miles. I just took van in for service and got the bad news it needs motor mounts! Had to laugh to myself thinking the dealer was full of it. No way could a vehicle with low miles possibly need motor mounts! So did some online research and found there are a tons of people having the same issue. There obviously is a bad design if so many people are having this issue. Of course when you call honda they deny that the problem even exist! Someone needs to hold the company accountable! There is a great deal of danger for our family's sake! The sad truth is it will take several families before honda acknowledges it was a bad design! *tr

I purchased this vehicle, 2006 honda odyssey used and noticed that the brake pedal was low. I took it to a honda dealer and had them do an inspection and complained that the brake pedal was low. (noted in my work order). They told me the rear brakes were the cause and needed replacing. I agreed to have them replaced and to check for anything else it may need.My vehicle passed the nys inspection. As soon as i entered the vehicle at the dealer i noticed the pedal had not improved. I went back in to complain and the manager stated that the low pedal was normal for this vehicle. I have had many vehicles in my life and when the pedal goes further down than the gas pedal and almost touches the floor with new brakes installed there is something wrong. When stopped the pedal will travel almost two more inches before getting "hard". I know honda has some kind of bulletin out on this issue but i cant seen to find it. The vehicle takes longer to stop and the pedal is very soft and spongy. Im concerned that i will rear end someone because the brakes are not safe. *tr

Honda has a known issue with the paint on at least a dozen different models and years...Except mine. The paint on my hood and roof started chipping and peeling away a couple of years ago, and now it's spread to many of the fender seams, as well as seams and joints on the roof. While it's "only paint"...We all know that rust leads to structural integrity issues, holes and can allow water and elements in to damage the engine. So, this is a safety issue as well as a "visual" issue. I'd like honda to address this for our car.

The problem is whit the paint. *tr

The power steering pump in our odyssey started making a loud squealing noise, and at some later time, the steering wheel began to vibrate. The steering pump noise was intermittent, and occurred at low and idle speeds only. There was never a loss of steering capability, but the shimmy in the steering wheel leads to driver discomfort and driver fatigue. Honda has since replaced the power steering pump at a reduced cost to us, but the new pump has not solved the steering wheel shimmy. The shimmy is very similar to the effects of a bent wheel or a out of balance tire, but different wheels and different tires, in addition to multiple tire re-balances have failed to correct the problem. The steering shimmy occurs only at speeds above approximately 62 mph, and seems to occur after about 70 - 100 miles of driving. Within this driving scenario, the shimmy can get very bad, and then at times completely disappear. But for most of the time, the shimmy is present. At speeds below 55 mph, the vehicle behaves very well. I'm not sure if this problem is unique to my vehicle, or if others have experienced the same issues. If it is generic to the vehicle design, then honda needs to provide odyssey owners with an economical solution. Should the problem persist, i will have not choice but to sell the vehicle because, aside form the potential safety issues, it does not provide the driving comfort that we need. *tr

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 *tr

Multiple electrical problems occur intermittently in wet conditions including failure of window wipers, headlights, door locks, and rear sliding doors. As described in honda service bulletin 08-078 this is a result of a defect in the trim panel that exposes electrical connector c701 behind the left rear side trim panel to moisture. *tr

My odyssey lost power/wouldn't accelerate/wouldn't shift as we approached the top of a 7% grade. We pulled over, shut the car off and checked fluids etc.. Everything was fine. We tried to get going again and the van wouldn't go. We sat for about an hour and tried again, and the van got going again perfectly fine. We were able to get to honda when it broke down again. Honda diagnosed it with a bad transmission/torque converter. The atf fluid was burnt (my odyssey has the atf fluid cooler too). The tech said the vcm (eco mode, variable cylinder management) increases the load/stress on the vehicle and is a contributing factor of the break down. My odyssey has been meticulously maintained at honda y honda specs/recommendations. I had no previous indication my trans was going out (no gear slipping anything. It drove fine up until it broke down) i called american honda for assistance in the repair, and they failed to even offer any sort of help. From what i've googled, honda odysseys have common trans/torque converter issues and american honda is well aware of the problems on the odysseys. After this, i will not buy another honda. *tr

The transmission is gone because of an inherent design problem in the transmission. Because the transmission fluid pump stops working correctly inside the transmission, the pressure is too low and the transmission grinds itself up. The car will slip out of gear and stop moving. There is nothing i could have done about it in preventative maintenance. I have to replace the transmission at a cost of approximately $4000 or more. This should not happen under normal conditions after 7 years even if the car has 150,000 miles on it. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that an abnormal noise was heard from the steering wheel when turning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who added power steering fluid to the vehicle but to no avail. The steering wheel continued to exhibit the noise when turning, which was similar to a motor sound. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 128,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated to 20 mph after the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was a blown head gasket. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the yaw rate sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,001.

According to the dealer the abs modulator is malfunctioning. *tr

Groaning sound from power steering system and steering wheel hard to turn at low speeds. Took vehicle to honda dealer knowing other 2006 honda odysseys had power steering problems and that the warranty on just the power steering pump had been extended to 7 years and 100,000 miles. I hoped the issue was just the power steering pump and that the warranty would cover it. Of course not! The problem is apparently in the steering rack and will require $1,200+ in repairs for a new one or the van will be a safety issue. I'm very suspicious that they have an extended warranty on the pump but not on the steering rack. Since i don't want to lose steering while driving and cause an accident, i am forced to have this defective part repaired at my own cost. With only 55,000 miles on the van, this is not the kind of safety or quality i would have expected from honda. *tr

2006 honda odyssey. Consumer states problem with rack and pinion leakage. *tgw the consumer stated he took the vehicle to have a recall rectified regarding the steering pump. However, as time went by, he began having problems with the steering while making turns. The consumer believed the leaking rack and pinion was related to the steering pump as they were integrated. *jb

Incident date: tuesday, october 23, 2012 approximately 1pm temperature: approximately 55 degrees road condition: dry tires: goodyear assurance fuel max installed: september 23, 2009 miles on tires at time of incident: 49,051 estimated tread life left: 4/32 number of persons in vehicle: 2 adults, 3 children while on a local shopping trip including travel on an interstate highway the right rear tire of the vehicle blew out. We had entered the interstate highway and had traveled about 5 miles. While passing a semi and in the left lane of the highway, at 70 mph, the right rear tire blew out. The vehicle started to vibrate and the tire was slapping the underside of the fender. Control of the vehicle was maintained and the vehicle was slowed down and moved to the center median. When traffic cleared, the vehicle was moved safely to the right shoulder of the highway. After exiting the vehicle, inspection of the right rear tire revealed a total blow out. The other members exited the vehicle and remained in the grass away from the vehicle while the tire was changed. When the tire was changed we continued to the next exit and used back roads to return home. New tires were purchased on tuesday, oct 23, 2012. The tire specialist indicated that the probable cause of the blow out was hitting a pot hole. *tr

I took my car in for an oil change and they advised me that my front engine motor mount has gone bad. I have not gotten it replaced however they are charging my $800.00 for it. After reading thousands of complaints online it seems that honda 2005's and above are having issues with them breaking more often then what they should be since the actual unit is tucked up right near the exhaust manifold and the rubber wears out quickly. I have never ever experienced a car where you had to replace the mount under 100k miles. *tr

Have had intermittent vibration coming from engine compartment. Primarily occurs at any speed when the vcm or eco mode activates. Not sure what other issues this may cause but seems unsafe. Honda dealer diagnosed issue as a broken rear engine mount. Cost to repair is $866. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, burning fumes started to emit into the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the transmission was slipping. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the transmission needed to be rebuilt. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 93,699 and the current mileage was 110,000.

My odyssey's motor mount failed last year before i hit 100,000. I was recently told that i need to replace the other three. It is my understanding that this is an ongoing problem with the vehicle, and honda should recall the vehicles for this defect. *tr

Lack of power steering. We bought this van at the end of september, 2012. We noticed this issue within a few days of owning it. This continues to be an on-going issue and is happening at various speeds and at various times. Not just in parking lots. This happens when slowing down to make turns in normal driving settings. It also happens when driving into round-abouts. This is a very serious safety issue! I tried to contact honda via email once we began to notice it and got no reply. I have looked at different complaint websites and see this a lot. Recently, with the fuel pump recall, i called into honda directly regarding the fuel pump. During the call, i described this steering issue to the rep. She said honda knows of it and what they did was to extend the original warranty on the vehicles to 100,000 miles to repair it. However, it was not repaired in all vehicles. The issue is that periodically the power steering system stops working and you must manually turn the steering wheel. We have several children in our family. It is scary to know that the steering could cause a serious accident & cause serious injury or death. Many highways now have round-abouts at the exits. Many towns & cities are putting in round-abouts for traffic flow. I have been noticing this issue when coming into round-abouts at various speeds. The nhtsa needs to get involved and get honda to recall these before serious injury or death occurs. Thank you. *tr

I am writing with regards to my 2006 honda odyssey. Took it to the dealer for a recall related issue with my brakes and while fixing it, they noticed that the vehicle had issues with rear engine mount. Dealer told me my rear engine mount is broken and that's why my vehicle vibrates and that will eventually lead to failure with power steering, a/c, engine, transmission...Etc. Since the vehicle can come to a halt in the middle of driving if left unattended, i think this is a serious safety concern with any honda minivan's and wanted to bring this to your attention. I started reading about this on the internet and looks like lots of people have the same issue with their engine mounts (both front & rear) with odyssey's especially from 2005 - 2009. I would imagine honda is well aware of this issue and they did nothing to fix the problem in the first place. Filed a formal complaint with honda and it went nowhere and i was told since my vehicle is out of warranty (5 years or 60000 miles which ever comes first) there is nothing they can do to help me with it. I paid 711$ to fix the issue, which should have never been the case had honda taken some responsibility to fix it in the first place. Whats really annoying is a broken engine part with just 48000 miles on it? I just hope this does not lead to any loss of life. Please consider this as a top priority issue and do the needful to address it. Thank you! *tr

Loud noise from engine compartment during a turn. Repair shop said the passenger side engine mount has nearly failed and the others will need to be replaced soon. It makes no sense for such a part to fail at 65k miles - this issue should be grounds for a recall. *tr

Transmission continues to shudder at 50 mph. It looks like it shutters until you hit the gas or let off. If you are coasting on flat ground, steady at the same speed, it will do it until you let off the gas or hit the gas harder. *tr

Front motor mount is torn and recommend replacing for $951.28 + tax; side motor mount is leaking and recommend replacing for $238.88 + tax. This van is used mainly for driving my kids to school and activities. No heavy towing nor hard driving. I was told that it's a common problem with honda odyssey, but at this time honda corporation has not addressed it. My van really makes noise and rattles when accelerating and i'm concerned that it is a safety issue if the engine is not secured properly. *tr

Brand new replaced battery and electrical start issue happening again. Sometime the car wouldn't start as if the battery is dead, then wait 10 minute and everything works (tho all the code reset as if the battery was disconnected). This is what caused us to replace the battery after dealer couldn't find any issue. It worked for a few weeks but problem is back. Dealer can't replicate issue since of course it starts fine. But there is some inherent issue with odyssey electrical issue as a lot of people have this issue. *tr

Power steering is hard to turn while parking

Bought vehicle used & noticed a soft pedal from the go! Saw where master cylinder was rebuilt & front pads put on before my purchase. Took to honda to get serviced on 7/18/2012 at 118,647 miles & told them it still felt a little soft with the pedal going lower than normal. They checked it out in service & put new rotors & pads on the rear. We took it on a trip to florida & the brakes felt good. Seems better now however it's beginning to feel a little soft again but appears to be braking ok. I told [xxx] in service at honda & i told him i will keep an eye on it to see if there are any differences in the oncoming miles. He said ok. Thanks!
