2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Structure Problems

I was parked at Walmart and got groceries came out opened my sliding door and it fell off the hinges due to bad hardware says it will cost 2500 to fix wtf. Then a month later the other fell off also why when there are so many other reports of this happening is there not a recall already or at least an investigation. I mean come on you don't even have an option for reporting sliding door falling off

My power sliding door pulls shut but then pops out enough to register that the door is open. Pulling on the door does not pull away from the body when it is physically pulled. The power door button on the dash and the key fob do not work for that same door. I have tried shutting off and turning on the switch with no response. I'm afraid that the door will slide open while driving.

We drove the Honda Odyssey 2007 to a nearby swimming pool and opened the driver side sliding door. The door resisted opening and fell off onto the ground. Nobody was hurt but someone was almost hurt. The door had made grinding noises and was difficult to open for about a week before the incident happened.

Sliding doors fell off won't go back on

Left sliding door lock will not unlock which causes the fuel door not to open

Paint chipping and peeling and fading

When closing the drivers sliding door the door fell off both hinges completely, crashing to the ground.

Paint is peeling off. When I touch the paint, it peels and flakes off. I can't even wash certain areas of it now because when I spray the water hose at it, the paint flakes off.

Power sliding doors on EXL model becomes slightly ajar/open after the door is closed and the power to the sliding doors is off. Furthermore, door slid open while the vehicle is moving (happened 3 times over the years) with our family dog falling out of the car in the most recent situation. (In the other two times, door slid open next to my kids who were buckled in and thus were not harmed). Please note that for the Honda Odyssey, all doors are automatically locked when the transmission is shifted out of PARK. Thus the door should not open on its own especially while the vehicle is moving. Dealership cannot replicate the problem and wants to replace the door latches which have previously been replaced (when the first two incidents happened). Even with this repair, they cannot guarantee that the door will not slide open while the vehicle is moving.

Right passenger door feel off hinge and hung. I had to catch the door since I was by myself. Yes issue was confirmed with dealer. No inspection from insurance or police. No indications of failure of door, automatic door function was not work so manual function was engaged.

I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY PARKED WHEN MY PASSENGER SIDE BACK SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE SO I TURNED OFF THE ELECTRIC FOR THE SLIDING DOORS AND TRIED TO CLOSE IT MANUALLY AND IT WOULDN'T BUDGE THEN IT JUST FEEL OFF TRACK CLEARLY THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS HAPPENED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND BETTER PARTS NEED TO BE MADE.

ON JULY 15, 2017 WE WERE LOADING THE VAN FOR VACATION AND THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF, LANDING ON MY 14 YEAR DAUGHTERS LEG/FOOT. ON AUGUST 28, 2017 MY SON WENT TO UNLOCK THE VAN AND PRESSED THE SLIDING DOOR OPENER BY ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGER DOOR AGAIN FELL OFF. THE DOOR FELL OFF ON TOP OF MY 8 YEAR OLD SON. THE KIDS WERE THEREFORE LATE FOR THEIR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. WHEN THE DOOR FELL OFF, IT BENT THE TRACK AND SCRATCHED THE WHOLE PASSENGER BACK SIDE OF MY VAN. WHILE MY DAUGHTER AND I TRIED PUTTING THE DOOR BACK ON THE DOOR SLIPPED OUT OF THE TRACK AGAIN AND DAMAGED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, DENTING THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THAT AFTERNOON I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER IN GRANDVILLE MICHIGAN AND TALKED TO RANDY HOWES. HE REFUSED TO LISTEN TO ME AND DIRECTED ME TO LOOK IN THE MANUAL AND CONTACT HONDA. SO I CALLED THE 1-800 NUMBER IN MY MANUAL. I RETOLD WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A SERIOUS INCIDENT AND THAT I WOULD HEAR BACK WITH IN 2 DAYS. AFTER A WEEK A BEGAN CALLING AGAIN, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM RIO WARDANA FROM HONDA. I RETOLD HIM AGAIN WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND TOLD HIM I WANTED THE DOOR FIXED AND THE DAMAGED FIXED THAT THE DOOR CAUSED. HE WAS VERY DISRESPECTFUL AND TOLD ME HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY DOOR FALLING OFF A HONDA VAN. I INFORMED HIM OF THE 100S OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE BUT HE REFUSED TO LISTEN. I WAS TOLD THE DOOR FALLING OFF WAS MY FAULT AND NOT HONDAS. I ASKED HIM WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE OTHER DOOR WAS ACTING FUNNY AS WELL. HE SAID TO USE THE HATCH BACK DOOR FOR ENTERING IF I NEEDED TO AND HE HUNG UP ON ME. I HAVE BEEN BATTLING HONDA EVER SINCE AND CAN GET NO WHERE. MY DOOR IS NOT DANGEROUS. I CANNOT HAVE MY CHILDREN NEAR IT WITH THE FEAR OF IT FALLING OFF AGAIN AND I CAN FIND NO ONE TO HELP ME WITH THIS CASE. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR VEHICLE SAFETY CONCERN!!

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR BUMPS AND GRINDS WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING. IT WILL SUDDENLY STOP THEN REVERSE DIRECTION. IT HAS ALMOST SHUT ON SEVERAL PEOPLE. I'VE DELT WITH IT FOR YEARS BUT TODAY I REALIZED THAT WATER IS LEAKING IN THE SAME DOOR. I REALIZED THIS WHEN I WENT TO PUT ON MY SEAT BELT AND IT WAS FROZEN INSIDE AND WET. MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BELT WAS ALSO WET. AFTER REALIZING THIS I SAW A WET STAIN ALONG THE WHOLE TOP OF THE SLIDING DOOR. SO DISAPPOINTED.

MY HONDA ODYSSEY DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAD BEEN SHAKING, MAKING NOISES, AND OPENING AND CLOSING MID WAY FOR A FEW WEEKS WHEN THE DOOR FINALLY POPPED OUT! WE WERE RETURNING FROM A FAMILY TRIP AND AFTER WE PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AROUND 1:30 AM AND PARKED, MY HUSBAND USED THE SLIDING DOOR TO GET OUR TODDLER OUT. AS HE REACHED IN AND PICKED HER UP, THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE AND HE PUSHED HER BACK IN. THEN THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING NOISE AND THE DOOR POPPED OUT AND WAS HANGING BY THE HINGES. WE COULD NOT BLIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED. FEARING THAT THE DOOR WOULD FALL OFF, WE QUICKLY TOOK THE KIDS IN AND MY HUSBAND AND SON ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE DOOR BACK ON AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS WE COULD WITH OUR PHONES FLASHLIGHTS FOR VISIBILITY. IT TOOK A WHILE BUT THEY MANAGED TO LIFT AND PUSH IT UP WHERE IT WAS NO LONGER HANGING BUT WASN'T CLOSED ALL THE WAY EITHER. WE COVERED THE DOOR AND OPENINGS WITH TRASH BAGS TO SEAL OUT THE RAIN THAT WAS GETTING IN. LATER THAT MORNING WE WENT OUT TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. THE TRASH BAGS HAD BLOWN OFF AND THE SEATS WERE WET, THE DOOR HAD SCRATCHED THE EXTERIOR OF THE VAN DEEPLY. THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY WHICH WAS MONDAY THE 4TH, I CALLED MY HONDA SERVICE STATION AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED HE SAID HE HAD HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT I NEEDED TO CALL HONDA CORPORATE AND SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR REPAIRS. I CALLED CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO HE HIGH MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE THEY WOULD NOT PAY. I TOLD HIM THAT WHILE RESEARCHING WHY THE DOOR WOULD JUST POP OUT, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND NOT ALL THE VANS HAD HIGH MILEAGE BUT HONDA REFUSED TO HELP THEM TOO IT WAS UNSAFE WHEN THE DOOR WAS SHAKING AND CLOSING AS WE WOULD TRY TO GET IN OR OUT BUT NOW WE CANNOT GET OUT OF THAT DOOR IN CASE OF ANEMERGENCY I BELIEVE HONDA HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE DOORS AND IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY USING POWERED CLOSING MECHANISM. WHEN THE POWER MECHANISM IS TURNED OFF ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE DOOR IS CLOSED MANUALLY BY HAND, IT STAYS CLOSED BUT ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN THE BACK PART OF THE DOOR POPS OPEN. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE BACK OF THE DOOR IS PUSHED CLOSED (AND THE LOCK BUTTON HURRIEDLY LOCKED) THE BACK OF THE DOOR WILL POP OPEN. WHEN IT IS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD/HIGHWAY THE DOOR OPEN LIGHT IS ON, THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED COMPLETELY AND ROAD/HIGHWAY NOISE IS HEARD FROM THE PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR. ON OCCASION, (WHEN TURNING RIGHT, GOING DOWNHILL, GOING OVER CERTAIN BUMPS) THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND THE DOOR WILL "CLOSE" BUT THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY. AS SOON AS THE TURN IS FINISHED, NOT GOING DOWNHILL, OR GO OVER ANOTHER SMALL BUMP, THE DOOR WILL POP OPEN IN THE BACK AND THE LIGHT WILL TURN BACK ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE TRANSPORTED IN THE VEHICLE!

HI, I OWN HONDA ODYSSEY 2007 AND I'VE NOTICE THE PAINT FROM THE ROOF TOP TOWARD THE FRONT SIDE IS PEELING OFF SLOW AND ITS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER. THIS PAINT IS NOT CAUSE BY ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE OR ANYTHING BUT I BELIEVE ITS DEFECTED BY THE HONDA MANUFACTURE PAINTING IT SELF. I'VE CHECKED ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND A LOT OF OWNER OF THIS TYPE OF CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA COMPANY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR THIS KIND OF DEFECT AT NO COST TO ANY HONDA OWNER'S.

APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO, MY WIFE WENT OUT TO OUR DRIVEWAY TO START HER DAY AND SUDDENLY THE PASSENGER DOOR AND LIFTGATE ON OUR LOW MILEAGE 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN WOULD NOT OPEN. NEITHER COULD BE OPENED VIA REMOTE OR PHYSICAL LEVEL (INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR). AT THE SAME TIME, THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT STOPPED LIGHTING. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT EXPLAIN THE COINCIDENCE, WHICH SUGGESTS SOME SORT OF ELECTICAL ISSUE WHICH BROKE MULTIPLE ACTUATORS, BUT REGARDLESS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. RIGHT NOW OCCUPANTS COULD VERY WELL BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. THE DEALER HAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $1000 TO REPAIR, AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE AS THERE ARE MANY, MANY REPORTS OF HONDAS SUFFERING FROM THESE DOOR AND LIFTGATE ISSUES. PLEASE HELP MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. THANKS

OPEN DRIVER SLIDING DOOR TO PLACE GROCERIES AND SHUT THE DOOR. THERE WAS A BUZZING SOUND (WHICH HAS SOUNDED PREVIOUSLY BUT GOES AWAY IF THE SLIDING DOOR LOCK IS PUT INTO PLACE) AS I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE. AS I TURNED A CORNER, THE DOOR OPENED ALL THE WAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I USED THE AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSER AND IT CLOSED. LESS THAN 10 MINUTES LATER, STILL WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, THE DOOR OPENED FULLY AGAIN. I BRAKED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO USE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSER, AND IT CLOSED, BUT OPENED AGAIN RIGHT AFTER I STARTED THE CAR AND TURNED A CORNER. I STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY, BUT IT WOULDN'T CLOSE TIGHTLY. BECAUSE I WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM HOME, I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T CLOSE COMPLETELY SHUT. LATER, I WENT BACK INTO THE GARAGE, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT SHUT TIGHTLY THIS TIME. NOW, I AM AFRAID TO USE THE DOOR. I BOUGHT THE MINIVAN BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING REAR DOOR BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY HAVING ISSUES CLOSING-IT WOULD CLOSE ABOUT 75% OF THE WAY, THEN BEEP AS IT DOES IF THERE IS AN OBJECT BLOCKING IT'S PATH, THEN OPEN BACK UP. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE DOOR TO HELP GUIDE IT CLOSED. BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING REAR DOOR BEGAN DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR. IT WOULD CLOSE ONLY ABOUT 90%, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO PULL IT FULLY CLOSED. I FLIPPED THE SWITCH TO TURN THE DOORS FROM POWER OPERATION TO MANUAL OPERATION, THINKING EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR CLOSED MANUALLY. HOWEVER, WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION, I TRIED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR (SWITCH WAS STILL IN THE MANUAL POSITION), AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO OPEN IT ABOUT 8-10 INCHES. I COULD NOT GET MY 2 YR OLD DAUGHTER OUT OF HER CAR SEAT. I PUSHED WITH ALL OF MY STRENGTH, AND IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. I RAN BACK AROUND, FLIPPED THE SWITCH BACK TO AUTO, AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN THAT WAY. HOWEVER, THIS ORDEAL HAS SHOWN ME A SEVERE SAFETY FLAW WITH THE POWER SLIDING DOORS ON THE 2007 ODYSSEY. IF WE HAD BEEN IN A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE--POSSIBLY FROM THE NOW RECALLED FUEL MECHANISM THAT CAN CATCH FIRE--I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM OUT. IN AN EMERGENCY, WHEN EVERY SECOND COUNTS, THE DOOR ISSUE COULD LITERALLY HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT THE DOOR THAT EVENING, AND HE, TOO, WAS UNABLE TO GET THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO BUDGE WHEN SET TO MANUAL OPERATION. HE HAD TO LIFT THE BACK OF IT AND PULL IT OPEN. ALSO, HE LOOKED AT THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR AND NOTICED METAL SHAVINGS ON THE DOOR WHERE METAL HAD LITERALLY BEEN GRINDING ON METAL. THE ROLLER MECHANISM IS NO LONGER WORKING. I AM TAKING IT IN TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. *TR

SLIDING DOORS KEEP FAILING EVEN AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS BY HONDA. DOORS DO NOT REMAIN CLOSED EVEN WHEN LOCKED. REAR SECTION OF SLIDING DOOR REMAINS AJAR.

IN 2010 I HAD TO HAVE 3 OUT OF THE 4 MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED ON MY ENGINE AND THEN LAST WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE 2 OF THE MOTOR MOUNTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AGAIN 4 YEARS LATER. I'VE ALSO SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT VARIOUS MODELS OF HONDA ODYSSEYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. YOUR ENGINE SHAKES TERRIBLY AT START AND WHILE IDLING AND HAS A HARD KICK WHEN YOU START TO GO FROM BRAKING AND IDLING AND JERKS FORWARD WHICH I CAN ONLY ATTRIBUTE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT CAUSED ME TO BRAKE BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY ENGINE HAD FALLEN OUT OF MY VEHICLE OR WAS ABOUT TO AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY THIS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY HONDA AS I'VE SEEN IT MENTIONED ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND I HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA MYSELF JUST RECENTLY. I WOULD HOPE THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THIS.

TOLD ME THAT IF I FELT THE STRUTS WERE NOT HIGH QUALITY AND EFFECTIVE IN HOLDING THE LIFTGATE UP I SHOULD LOOK FOR 3RD PARTY MANUFACTURED STRUTS THAT FILLED MY NEEDS BETTER. VERY SURPRISED BY THIS RESPONSE THAT HONDA WOULD TELL ME TO GET "BETTER" PARTS OUTSIDE IF THEIR OWN LIFTGATE STRUTS ARE NOT UP TO THE JOB THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO FOR YEARS WITHOUT FAILURE. *TR

LIFTGATE STRUTS FAILURE. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE DANGER WHEN A LIFTGATE STRUT FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATION OF FAILURE. MY ODYSSEY 2007 LIFTGATE WAS WORKING FINE ON SATURDAY BUT THEN COMPLETELY FAILED ON SUNDAY. IT JUST DROPS FROM AN OPEN POSITION. I'M GLAD THAT NO ONE GETS HURT. WHEN I TRY TO LIFT IT AGAIN, THE STRUT WOULD NOT HOLD THE TAILGATE OPEN ANYMORE. I REPORTED TO HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR 2007 MODEL BUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2008 AND UP. I WILL SUGGEST THAT YOU ALSO CHECK THE STRUT ON MODELS 2005 AND UP AS IT LOOKS LIKE THERE A LOT OF COMPLAIN STRUT FAILURE ON THESE YEAR MODEL AS WELL WHEN YOU GO TO ODYCLUB.COM WHICH IS A FORUM FOR HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS. I WILL REPLACE MINE AND NOT WAIT FOR HONDA TO TAKE OWNERSHIP ON THIS FAILURE BUT I AM STILL REPORTING THIS IN HOPE THAT NO ONE WILL GET HURT IF HONDA CONTINUES TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE. LIFTGATE STRUTS FAILURE CAN CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH ESPECIALLY TO SMALL ADULTS AND CHILDREN. *TR

THE LIFT GATE STRUT ON OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L SUDDENLY FAILED AND THE GATE FELL BY ITSELF. IT ALMOST INJURED ME WHILE LOADING SHOPPING BAGS INTO THE TRUNK AREA. THE REAR GATE IS VERY HEAVY THAT IT COULD ACTUALLY RESULT IN A SEVERE INJURY OR FATALITY, WHEN IT SUDDENLY FELL ON ONE'S HEAD. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS TO OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS. CITE: HTTP://WWW.ODYCLUB.COM/FORUMS/52-2005-2010-ODYSSEY/40133-TAILGATE-GAS-STRUT-PROBLEMS-9.HTML THERE'S ALSO A SIMILAR RECALL FOR 2008 AND 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY MODEL REGARDING THE LIFT GATE STRUT. *JS

IN A ROUTINE VIRGINIA STATE SAFETY INSPECTION A HONDA DEALER FAILED MY WIFE'S 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN (50902 MILES) FOR TWO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS (FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE) AND A BURNED OUT BRAKE LIGHT. I DID NOT AND DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SUCH A NEW, LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE DEVELOPED BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS, ESPECIALLY SINCE MY WIFE DROVE THE VAN GENTLY SINCE IT WAS NEW. BECAUSE THE PROJECTED REPAIR COSTS TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS, "CRACKED" COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS AND OTHER UNSPECIFIED BUSHINGS WERE EXPECTED TO BE SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS, I TOOK THE VAN TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP FOR A SECOND OPINION. THE INDEPENDENT SHOP DID ESTABLISH THAT THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT WAS BROKEN AND THAT THE OTHER ISSUES, HOWEVER, WERE SPURIOUS. THE INDEPENDENT SHOP AGREED TO REPAIR THE VAN FOR $368. I THINK THAT HONDA HAS IN THIS CASE DESIGNED AND PRODUCED FAULTY MOTOR MOUNTS (I THINK THAT EACH HONDA ODYSSEY ENGINE HAS 5 MOTOR MOUNTS). I ALSO THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE FAULTY MOTOR MOUNTS AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE'S OWNERS AND SHOULD REIMBURSE OWNERS (CURRENT AND PRIOR) FOR ANY RELATED REPAIR COSTS. SINCE A FAULTY MOTOR MOUNT TRIGGERED A REJECTION IN A VIRGINIA STATE SAFETY INSPECTION, THIS HONDA MOTOR MOUNT FAILURE ISSUE IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY DAUGHER AND I HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY VAN AND OPENED UP MY TAILGATE TO SEE WHERE THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM. THE TAILGATE WAS WORKING BUT A CLICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE STRUT ON THE LEFT. BOTH MY SIX YEAR OLD AND I WERE UNDER THE TAILGATE AT THE TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE CLICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM. TEN MINUTES LATER THE STRUT FAILED. IT WOULD NO LONGER STAY OPEN AT ALL AND SLAMMED DOWN INSTEAD OF STAYING OPEN. HAD MY DAUGHTER AND/OR I HAD BEEN UNDER IT AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED.

YESTERDAY MY THREE YEAR OLD HAD 3 OF HIS TEETH NEARLY RIPPED OUT OF HIS HEAD BY AN INTEGRATED SUNSHADE IN THE SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. BY NEARLY RIPPED OUT I MEAN THEY GOT CAUGHT IN THE THING WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENING...THE DOOR DIDN'T STOP OPENING AND IT CAUSED HIS TEETH TO STICK STRAIGHT OUT OF HIS MOUTH (MOVED ALMOST 90 DEGREES UPWARD). THE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY UP AND THE WINDOWS ARE TINTED IN THE REAR OF THE ODYSSEY'S SO I COULDN'T SEE HIM HOLDING (AND APPARENTLY BITING) THE SUNSHADE WHILE APPROACHING THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR. I WOULD NOT HAVE OPENED THE DOOR KNOWING IT WAS IN HIS MOUTH. I APPLIED PRESSURE AND GOT HIS TEETH TO GO BACK IN PLACE AND TOOK HIM TO THE DENTIST. WE ARE ON A WAIT-AND-SEE SCENARIO WITH WHETHER OR NOT MY CHILD WILL LOSE HIS TEETH. I INQUIRED, WITH HONDA VEHICLES, IF THERE WAS ANY SORT OF LOCK FOR THIS SUNSHADE AND WHY THERE ISN'T A SENSOR TO INDICATE SOMETHING IS TUGGING ON THE DOORS. HE TOLD ME THERE IS NO PRODUCT THAT CAN LOCK THE SUNSHADE IN THE RETRACTED POSITION TO PREVENT INJURIES, DIDN'T COMMENT ON THE SENSORS, AND TOLD ME TO MOVE MY CHILD TO THE BACK SEAT OF THE VAN. *TR

BOTH MY POWER SLIDING DOORS ARE STARTING TO FAIL. THERE SEEM TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT REAR POWER DOOR ISSUES ON THE ODYSSEYS. OUR DRIVER SIDE REAR POWER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK PROPERLY UNLESS DONE MANUALLY AND IT WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE OR THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS MAKES A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN IT OPENS AND ALSO MAKE A NOISE AFTER ITS CLOSED AS IF THE DOOR HADN'T LATCHED PROPERLY. HAVE NOT HAD ANY BROKEN OR FALLEN DOORS YET. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ENDEMIC ISSUE RATHER THAN A FEW PROBLEMS HERE AND THERE. THIS IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH SAFETY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE HENCE REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM HONDA WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I HAVE TO RUSH MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY AND AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN EITHER DOORS OR AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PARENTS MY DOOR FALLS WHILE DRIVING?????? THIS IS A PART OF THE CAR THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER ANY YEAR OF SERVICE AND SENSIBLE USE, HOWEVER IS HAPPENING TO NEW AS WELL AS OLDER MODELS.

AFTER 3.5 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY, I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND ON THE TOP OF THE FRONT FENDERS STARTED PEELING OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND SHOWED THEM A COPY OF HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN # 08-031 THAT DESCRIBES THE PAINT PEELING PROBLEM AND HOW TO FIX IT. IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN, HONDA WILL FIX THE PAINT PROBLEM AND WARRANTY THE PAINT FOR 7 YEARS. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PAINT TO PRIMER ADHESION ISSUE. WITHOUT A SOLID PAINT COVERING ON THE VAN, IT WILL RUST PREMATURELY AND LOSE VALUE VERY FAST. THIS PAINT TO PRIMER ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AMONG MANY HONDA VEHICLES AND MODEL YEARS AND COLORS YET THE SERVICE BULLETIN ONLY MENTIONS PAINT PEELING ON DARK BLUE 2003-2005 ODYSSEYS BUILT AT THE ALABAMA PLANT WITH VINS STARTING WITH 5FN . MY ODYSSEY IS A 2007 WITH LIGHT BLUE PAINT, WAS BUILT AT THE SAME ALABAMA PLANT AND MY VIN STARTS WITH 5FN . I HAVE THE SAME PAINT ISSUE AND THE PICTURES OF PEELING PAINT IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN ARE EXACTLY LIKE MY PROBLEM AND IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOTS. CLEARLY THE PAINT PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN HONDA IS WILLING TO ADMIT. PLEASE BRING THIS ISSUE IN BEHALF OF MANY HONDA OWNERS TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND I HOPE THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX OUR CARS AND FIX THE POTENTIAL PAINT PEELING PROBLEMS OF NEW CARS. *TR

I MENTIONED OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DOORS ON THIS SITE AND THEY DID NOT SEEM TO CARE.

MY WIFE HAD MENTIONED SHE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE HATCH ON HER HONDA. YESTERDAY SHE SAID IT WAS SLOW TO OPEN; TODAY SHE SAID IT WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL. I WENT OUT TO LOOK AT THE HATCH AND TRY TO DETERMINE IF SHE HAD A BLOWN FUSE, ETC. I PUSHED THE BUTTON ON THE REMOTE AND THE TAILGATE OPENED, CONTRARY TO WHAT SHE HAD TOLD ME. IT SEEMED TO OPEN SLOWER THAN NORMAL. I WENT TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS ATTACHED TO THE HATCH THAT WOULD SLOW DOWN ITS OPENING. IT WAS RAINING, SO I STEPPED UNDER THE HATCH. WITHOUT WARNING IT CAME DOWN ON ME. THE INTERIOR OF THE HATCH HIT ME ON THE HEAD, KNOCKED ME FORWARD THEN HIT ME IN THE BACK OF MY LEGS, CAUSING PAIN TO BOTH MY SHINS AND CALVES WHERE I WAS STRUCK BY THE HATCH AND REAR BUMPER. I ALREADY HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH A STAINED NECK DUE TO MILITARY RELATED SERVICE. WHEN THE HATCH HIT ME ON THE HEAD I FELT A SUDDEN JOLT OF PAIN IN MY ARM AND SHOULDER, LIKE A HUGE ELECTRIC SHOCK. NOW MY NECK IS VERY SORE/STIFF. I HAVE HAD MANY OTHER CARS WITH REAR HATCHES. THE HATCH STRUTS WOULD SLOWLY LOSE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS, AND WOULD GIVE YOU SOME SORT OF WARNING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE IN NEED OF REPAIR. THESE HATCHES WOULD BECOME LESS EFFECTIVE IN THE WINTER, DURING COLD WEATHER. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH OUR ODYSSEY. IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY; ONE DAY IT WAS FINE, THE NEXT DAY IT WAS SMACKING ME IN THE HEAD. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THESE THINGS. I'M GOING TO CONTACT HONDA OF AMERICA AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY FLAW IN THAT THESE THINGS COULD SUDDENLY FAIL SO RAPIDLY. I'M A STRONG, HEALTHY MAN. I WORK AS FIREFIGHTER IN A BIG CITY, SO THIS KIND OF TRAUMA IS NOT A HUGE DEAL TO ME. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF A SMALLER PERSON WAS STRUCK BY THIS HATCH. *TR

WE TRIED TO CLEAN THE CARPET WITH RESOLVE, BUT THAT MADE THE STAINS BIGGER. WHEN WE VACUUMED THE CARPET, WE FOUND AN OILY RESIDUE WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF LITHIUM GREASE IN THE VACUUM ATTACHMENT. WE REMOVED THE REAR SEATS AND FOLDED THE CARPETING BACK. THERE'S A GRAY PANEL OF SOUNDPROOFING OR SOMETHING ELSE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CARGO AREA, AND THAT PANEL IS DISINTEGRATING, LEAVING BEHIND A TARRY RESIDUE. THE TARRY RESIDUE IS WHAT REACHED UP THROUGH THE CARPET TO CAUSE THE STAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE PANEL ITSELF IS DISINTEGRATING. WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A DEALER IN APRIL 2010, AND FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN JULY 2010. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 EX WITH 13,000 MILES AND BOTH OF THE TAILGATE (HATCH) STRUTS JUST FAILED SUDDENTLY ON 08/15/2010. THERE SHOULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL SAFETY MECHANISM ON THESE SO THAT THEY JUST DON'T COLLAPSE AND CAUSE HARM (THE HATCH ALMOST SLAM MY 7-YEARS OLD SON ON THE HEAD). BOTH CAN NOT GO BAD AT ONE TIME AND EITHER ONE SHOULD SUPPORT SOME WEIGHT. IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS. THESE LIFTGATE STRUTS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE BAD THINGS HAPPEN. HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY PUT IN THESE CARS. *TR

MECHANICAL SLIDING SIDE DOORS 1) WHEN PARKED ON A HILL, FRNT END DWNHILL THE SLIDING DOOR OPENS ALL OF THE WAY THEN SLAMS FORWARD FRM 4 TO 6 INCHES BACK TOWARD THE FRNT JAM, THE FORCE WILL KNOCK A CHILD DOWN 2) THE DOOR DOES NOT HAVE A SENSOR ( LIKE AN ELEVATOR) THAT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE MIGHT BE N ITS PATH WHEN CLOSING & IT WILL CLOSE ON ANYTHING OR ANYONE IN ITS PATH WHEN CLOSING. MY CHILD GOT HER ARM CRUSHED BTWN THE DOOR & THE JAM WHEN THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER. I HAD OPENED THE DOOR W/ THE REMOTE, I REACHED N & THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE B4 I COULD BACK OUT & CRUSHED ME BETWN THE DOOR & THE JAM, EVEN AFTER MAKING CONTACT W/ MY BODY IT CONTINUED TO CRUSH ME, THE ONLY WAY N BOTH INSTANCES TO STOP THE DOOR FRM CRUSHING MY 4YR OLD'S ARM FRM HER BODY & IT DOING I HAVE NO IDEA THE EXTENT OF WHAT IT WOULD HAVE DONE TO ME, WAS TO GET 2 THE MANUAL HANDLE NSIDE THE DOOR. THE REMOTE WILL NOT STOP IT & THE DASHBOARD BUTTON WILL NOT STOP IT. THE RE OTE DOES NOT HAVE AN OPEN & SHUT BUTTON FOR THE DOOR. REMOTE BUTTONS ARE A MINOR POINT, THE DOORS NEED SENSORS.

REAR TAILGATE STRUTS FAIL ON 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY, CAUSING TAILGATE TO SUDDENLY CRASH DOWN. CHILDREN WERE IN THE VICINITY AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

THE 2005 ODYSSEY HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IF SOMEONE HAS NOT BEEN KILLED ALREADY, SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT SOON ADDRESSED ON A LARGE SCALE. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS OF THE 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L ENTRAPPED MY 5 YEAR OLDS LEFT HAND AT THE BACK OF THE DOOR. HE HAS SWELLING, BRUISING, AND ABRASIONS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THERE IS PERMANENT DAMAGE. HOWEVER, THE PROXIMITY OF THE SEAT AND SEAT BELT TO THE REAR DOOR JAM IS CONDUCIVE FOR THIS TYPE OF INJURY. THE DOOR SHOULD IMMEDIATELY REVERSE IF IT ENCOUNTERS ANY RESISTANCE TO CLOSING AT ANY PART OF THE DOOR. IT CURRENTLY ONLY STOPS IT'S MOTION IF THE FRONT PART OF THE DOOR ENCOUNTERS SIGNIFICANT FORCE. *TR

MY 3 YEAR OLD SON'S ARM AND HAND BECAME TRAPPED IN THE LEFT REAR AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC SLIDING DOOR. THERE IS A SAFETY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CLOSURE, HOWEVER THERE ARE NO SAFETIES IN PLACE ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT A CHILD'S ARM AND/OR HAND/FINGERS FROM BEING CRUSHED OR TRAPPED.
