I was driving my 2007 honda odyssey.as i was coming to a stop, i became involved in an accident.over the recent weeks i thought it was taking longer to stop my van, but had my van in for service the week before.i was assure that everything was fine and all fluid levels were correct. ***note:on my first service visit the service adviser told me that i should not be concerned about brake fluid levels that the van would notify me when it was time to replace the breaks and that the van was designed to do so.the police were called to the scene of the accident.i could not explain the accident and the officer coaxed me in to saying that i had been distracted.i was in shock.my son was in the car with me and i could not think much of anything else other than whether he was safe. I believe i had come to a complete stop then hit the vehicle in front of me.my airbags did not deploy.ever since the accident i have continued to notice that i must press the brake pedal all the way to the floor at times to stop the van and other times i don't in normal driving circumstances.all along i had believed the dealership that everything was fine with my vehicle.now i have damages to pay and a ticket i am facing as a result of what i believe to be break failure.i will be making a follow-up report with my local police department, faxing a copy other similar break failure complaints to my insurance company, contacting honda and hopefully will be able to get some answers on the problem with my van.

I received a recall notice relating to faulty vsa system in honda odysseys. My vehicle was totalled as a result of a single driver accident that occured on ct-15 merrit parkway in january 2011. It snowed that day in connecticut although there was no visible snow on the highway when this happened and at a particular turn, the vehicle skidded (no break was applied), and after trying to control through turning the steering hit the road divider barricades facing forward and then sideways resulting into damage to radiator system and activating all air bags. I spoke with honda representative today who advises that they cannot assist me further because vehicle is not available for inspection and they cannot therefore confirm or denywhether the issue was caused due to this matter. My request to speak to the supervisor was declined. I do not feel that my concerns were adequately addressed.

Our 4 small children and a parent were in the vehicle while it was turned on and sitting in our driveway in the parked position when the curtain airbags along the entire length of the honda odyssey on both sides of the vehicle spontaneously deployed causing significant hearing damage to all occupants and rendering the vehicle inoperable.we are now very frightened that there is an obvious safety defect with our honda odyssey and that at a future time any other airbag in the minivan may spontaneously deploy again or that in the event of a serious collision the airbag system may fail to deploy all together causing serious injury or fatality.

I was involved in a three car accident. I was the third car, we were leaving from a traffic lighton highway maryland 301 that just turned green. According to the driver of the second car, driver of car one slammed on her brakes after taking off. I than ran into car number two. I sustained front end damage and my air bags did not deploy.
Lots of car stopped on the highway 65 mile speed limit,i stopped completely after few second later rear vehicle hit my van. Police came make report,rear car's fault. I did not ride ambulance. I see doctors,i thought i was o.k. But 10 month later i was in the hospital almost 2 months. I got surgery my upper back because my spinal was pinched by bone and leaking.air bag did not deployed accident time,if it work ,i did not injured.rear car hit my van and my van hit in front of my car.my chair frame was lifted up rear door and bumper and body frame need straight.
While turning into a parking space and applying my brakes, the engine revved, brakes stopped responding and the vehicle propelled forward, resulting in the vehicle jumping a median and ramming into a tree at which point the airbags deployed and engine cut-off. This left me with burns on the skin of my arms and neck area. I have owned and driven this van for six years and am certain that i was applying the brake. The vehicle had to be towed as the driver side seatbelt was left inoperable. We were told by our dealership that the side air bag had deployed within the column, but did not enter the cabin as it was not visible and was caught within the seat belt pillar.
My curtain side airbags deployed in a grass driveway van barely moving had just pulled away from mailbox which was in the driveway causing me injuries.

Typical honda odyssey soft brake pedal.we've had this brake issue since new.multiple recalls, adjustments, etc... Honda for some reason can't figure out the problem.our van was wrecked twice because of this stupid brake problem.the first wrecked happened in august 2010. The brake pedal went to the floor and caused a front end collision. I took it to honda again, but they said nothing was wrong with the brakes.then the second wreck occurred.same reason as the first.that's two serious accidents in 1.5 year time span.each time the damage exceeded $10,000.both accidents occurred because the brakes were soft and the vehicle wouldn't slow down fast enough.oh, did i forget to mention that the airbags never deployed in either accident.what's the point in having airbags if they are not going to deploy in a major front end collision.this vehicle is flat out dangerous.
My mother was in an accident, she was driving on gravel road and she slid off road, down an embankment which left the vehicle on it's side and hit a tree head-on. My question is, why did the airbags not deploy? she hit her head on steering wheel twice and suffered neck and back injuries. Thank the lord she had her seatbelt on. The van is totaled and i am thankful that my mother is alive but very disappointed and angry that airbags did not deploy.
As the driver and only passenger of the above referenced vehicle en-route to pick-up my wife from work on thursday, 19 february 2015 at approximately 1630 hours, i was involved in a three vehicle collision while travelling approximately 33 mph westbound on dale boulevard approaching forrestdale avenue in woodbridge, virginia. At the time of the incident, i was wearing my seat belt. The driver side airbag in my 2007 honda odyssey deployed. Initial assumption was that as the result of the airbag deployment, my head was forcefully pushed towards the driver side window. And that the impact shattered the glass causing multiple lacerations on the left side of my face, multiple fractures around the eye socket and hyphema in my left eye (photos available for your perusal). To this date, i can't make sense of this assumption. I was immediately transported by emt ambulance to sentara hospital emergency room. X-rays on my chest showed no broken bones. Cat scans to my head confirmed multiple fractures on the eye socket and cheek bones. Surgery was performed between 12 midnight ? 3:00 am to suture the lacerations and ensure that my left eye was clear of broken glass. I was out of work from friday, 20 february 2015 thru monday, 02 march 2015 by order of dr. Babur lateef, opthalmologist, advanced opthalmology inc. ? the specialist who performed the surgery. Dr. Lateef continues to see me to monitor the pressure in my eye, monitor the possibility of getting cataract and vision correction. The vehicle has been repaired and is now in good operating condition (photos of the damage prior to repair available for your perusal). However, with the advent of future recalls due to airbag incidents in the news i decided to share this experience in hopes that i can assist if not help prevent these types of injury/ies.
My husband and son were coming home from a business trip when the side airbags deployed for no reason, hitting my husband and son, injury them.
Air bag warning light on. Dealer said it was right front sensor which they replaced. It did not fix it and now they say the control system is bad and air bags will not work. Perhaps this is related to other honda air bag recalls. This is the third major safety issue with this vehicle, brakes (recalled), steering (recalled) and air bags.
Air bag , transmission, fuel cap always on ,doors electric problems ,vehicle stability off not working
Within a couple of weeks after purchasing a brand new 2007 honda odyssey, the airbag warning light illuminated and stayed illuminated (occasionally turning off). We brought the car in to a dealership for service on 7/16/07 but a few days of using the car (we only use it once a week, sometimes less) the warning light turned on again. Also, now the "passenger airbag off" light now occasionally turns on, even when there's an adult in the passenger seat (this light is supposed to illuminate only when there's a child-size object or passenger). We are going to take it in for service again.
My wife two children and 4 guests were moving from a stop through an intersection when another driver disregarded a red light and hit our car toward the rear of the sliding door and front of rear wheel. The other car's speed was unknown but they did not appear to stop prior to impact.all driver side airbags along the side of the car deployed.my wife and one daughter sustained injuries which required hospital examination.all passengers had seat belt burns.my wife was struck with something on the top of her head presumably from debris from the airbags or trim when the airbags deployed.this left a small round hole on the top of her head. She had blood loss which was treated by witnessing nurses and dispatched emt.she was treated and released from the local hospital and has been recuperating at home. We are evaluating further treatment options for other musculoskeletal injuries. Most seat belt burns were minor although the guest passenger in the 2nd row middle seat (removable seat) had more significant burns due to angle of seat belt.
I rear-ended another vehicle, which was stopped, going approximately 35 mph and my air bags did not deploy.i did not think about this issue until the officer at the scene brought it to my attention since he was surprised that they did not deploy.we will not find out until monday whether or not the car is totaled.
The air bag dash light will activate after the van has been started and has been running for a short while.this happens on most trips fairly consistently now.air bags should be warranted for the life of the vehicles, especially for honda, since they are putting poor quality srs units in their products for the last 15 years or more.
Brakes failed causing a crash. We bought the vehicle brand new in 2007 and have noticed spongy, soft, hard to stop brakes from the beginning. Dealerships, we have taken it to more than one, always say it's fine, no failure, no problem can be repeated. We had the brakes replaced just in case and have had both recall jobs fixed, one just last week. This week cars stopped short in front of my husband while he was driving, he could not stop, tried to slam brakes and the van would not stop, he put the pedal to the floor and nothing. He hit the car in front of him. We have had a few problems with trying to stop short in the past but have avoided a crash before. A recall is just not enough, it didn't fix the problem for our van. Also the airbag did not deploy.

2007 honda odyssey. Consumer writes regarding recall *tgwthe consumer stated while driving, the (vsa) vehicle stability assist light illuminated. The vehicle would stall and all power was lost. Updated 10/20/10
My whole dash board started blinking and no information of speed, fuel amount, hot or cold, or the milage was able to be seen.was still able to drive the vehicle, but if stopped couldn't tell you how fast i was going.
On my daughters 2007 honda odyssey, it has an automatic up feature for the drivers window.once the window starts up (closing), if you put down pressure on the window it will reverse, do down a few inches and stop.but if you put pressure on the window, like a child leaning out the window, and it starts up the override feature will not stop the window and make it go down a few inches.the window will continue to close, only stopping when the motor is overpowered.this does not happen until quite a bit of force is applied to whatever is blocking the window, and in the case of a small child it could cause quite a bit of injury.i have never encountered a vehicle with an auto-up feature for a window.with the amount of force it takes to overload the motor a child can be seriously injured.

Owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, the entire instrument panel warning indicators remained illuminated.

Jump started & on the way home the failure recurred. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of this problem on 4/1/14 at 12am est. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Also the warning for this problem is the security system going of randomly for no reason (like doors locking or closing horn going off).
My vehicle was parked and unoccupied for over 8 hours from its last drive time. No key was in the ignition and no equipment or accessories were operating.the wiring under the driver seat ignited and the resulting fire consumed the cabin totaling the vehicle.
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 mydaughter 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!!
Today 10/5/15, went to come work and i noticed the outside temp was not working. The intermittent wipers not working...only worked on high. The rear wiper was not working. The fluid would not work either. The lights would not go on high, were only dim. The turn signals would not work. The defrost did not work either. When i got to work i attempted to open rear passenger door and it did not open either. The doors would not lock automatically with remote or door lock control on drivers door. I didn't attempt to open windows because of the weather. Now it is has been raining pretty much non-stop since 10/1. Fuses seem to be ok.
My honda odyssey shuts off completely while driving, at that time you can't turn the steering wheel (or it is very very hard to turn). This is preceded by usually the lights on dashboards flashing. Sometimes it will shut off (dashboard will go black) and come right back after few seconds. Other times the i have to stop and turn it on again and it works. Yesterday it turned off and the car came to stop then i moved the battery little and the hazard light started flashing. When it's completely dead even hazard light would not blink. Today it happened again and even after moving the battery it did not get power back. I had left the hazard light on but it was not blinking. However after around 5 minutes or so on it's own thehazard light started blinking and i could drive off.

I was driving to a supermarket, i pulled into parking lot and then i saw a lot of smoke coming under the hood, i had my three children inside the car and in minutes my car was totaled completely burned. Honda should pay my van, none noticed any problem before. Side doors won't open at the moment of the fire, very dangerous design for an emergency like this, imagine i mother with child on a car seat and not having access to the rear seats, when this dangerous situation takes minutes to burn the entire vehicle.
Power steering failing, display screen failing
The alternator froze up causing the belt to slip and generate heat.a burning smell was the first detection of a problem.the alternator light came on in the dash.as a precaution, the car was returned home.the plastic casing on the alternator caught fire.the fire was extinguished with water immediately.the fire department was called and responded to confirm the fire was extinguished.the part was replaced.
While driving 60mph on the freeway, i heard a "click" suddenly all lights on the dashboard went out and the engine shut off. The security key light blinked letting me know it was a security issue but my chip key was in the ignition the whole time. I had to steer off to the shoulder, put vehicle in park, turn key off, then back on again and it drove away fine. I'm really thankful that it did not do this during peak traffic or it easily could have caused an accident with my children in the vehicle. Since i was behind the wheel on the freeway, i did not take a picture of the dash completely off except for the security key light flashing.

2007 honda odyssey drivers side rear door will not open manually or elect. Tried inside and outside have checkedthe gas entry flap and switches no problems there. My problem is a safety issue. My wife transports our grand children, the child's car seat has been moved to the passenger sideif something were to happen there would be no escape for them. I need an answer. I see there are a lot of complaints on line the dealers haven't been able to fix the problems they re-surface a short time later. This has to be a design flaw, the mechanical should always be able to override the system for safety. I would like to here from someone concerning this problem. This is a death trap.

Factory alternator over heated and was smoking
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.
Passenger sliding door automatically opened while vehicle was in motion, exposing my 5 year old to serious injury. This is the 3rd occurrence. Baierl honda of wexford pa cannot identify any faults even though the vehicle has been taken to them on several occasions.
The vsa warning light keeps coming on along with an exclamation sign. It prevents acceleration and causes temporary loss of power while driving. Also, prevents use of cruise control. It temporarily resets when engine is turned off but then turns on again while driving. This occurswhile vehicle is in motion on city streets as well as highways.

The failure mileage was 139,383.
While driving my 2007 model honda odessey, on june 5th 2018 without any warning signs, vehicle shut off, dash went off. Tried to apply brake, it didn't work. Somehow managed to put the park gear to pull over to a left turn line to avoid collision with other vehicles on the road. 911 was alerted since the vehicle was blocking the left turn line and was not able to even open the door to come out of the van. After few minutes i was able to turn it on and there was no engine sign. No injuries or damage was sustained. I continued driving the van home. After two weeks the engine sign came up and we took it to the honda authorized dealership. They couldn't find anything wrong which causes this engine shutdown abruptly. They were unable to duplicate the problem. After two days the battery went down. So we replaced the battery with a new one. On july 21, my cousin was driving the van and the same happened again. He pulled over to the side and after few attempts it started again and he rode back and parked at his house. On july 24th, we tried to turn it on but the battery was down. We jump started it on 27th and took it to the same dealership. They kept it doing several tests until july 31st and found nothing wrong with it. They ok'd us to take the vehicle since they couldn't duplicate the issue . We are very much concerned to ride it again fear of safety to our own life and the other innocent fellows on the road. We reported the honda customer service and they suggested to take it to another dealership. They are not willing to take any responsibility if something happens when we drive the van.we searched online and found few others has reported the same kind of incidents for the same model but different year. I am requesting nhtsa investigate on this issue and give your recommendations

Vsa warning light went on suddenly during driving. Steering wheel feels not stablewhen turning after the light is on. Took the vehicle to honda dealer and was told the communication between the vsa module and the computer is lost and need replace vsa module for $1,600. It is not a problem caused by wear-and tear and honda should be responsible for making the electronics more reliable in odyssey models.

Drivers side window works but all 3 passenger windows stopped working. Windows will not work from drivers control or from individual window controls. Child safety is not engaged and control is unlocked on drivers side. I have seen dozens of complaints on-line about this problem; seems honda should take care of a problem that is occurring in great numbers across many older and newer odyssey models.
While driving the electrical system seem to blink out and come back on.all electrical parts seem to be affectected.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.when the contact attempted to start his vehicle, it failed to start. He jump started the vehicle and drove it 5 mph about 100 feet and heavy smoke entered the cabin of the vehicle.he pulled over got out of the vehicle and disconnected the battery cable.the vehicle had not been repaired for the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the dealership and had repairs performed on the brakes. The contact stated he called the dealership back on 6/5/10after the repair had been performed and advised them that the brake repair did not work. He stated the brakes would go all the way to the floor.the failure and current mileage was 41,000.the consumer stated the steering would shake . But the problem was always blamed on the clutch.the dealer then turned the rotors.updated evoq 08/31/10
Failure of front a/c condenser by a supposed "rock"impact resulting in loss of refrigerant and a/c service.i contend this is related to design defect of the front bumpers and lack of grill in large opening. Honda provided no compensation and extended warranty refused by stating "dealer stated rock impact is considered a collision under warranty"a google search reveals this is a wide spread problem with many models of honda, not just odyssey.
My 2007 honda odyssey lost it's electrical system functioning - when it did only the driver's door could be opened. The others are automatic and would not open from inside or outside. I had to pull my 2 grandchildren from the back thru my door. If this had been a wreck & the driver's seat was blocked by damage, no one could get out, and no one could get a door opened from the outside to help.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle safety assist system warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v500000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 70,000.ma 10/23/15updated 11/05/15.
I am still waiting to recall to be fixed. It is showing check engine light.
The windows would not roll back up. It was freezing outside and we were on a long road trip. Fuse box was checked. All working. Locks werechecked. All working. The driver side window is the only window that will operate. Thankfully, they rolled back up and we locked it with the main switch on the drivers side. At first they worked intermittently, however, after unlocking the safety master window switch after our vacation, the windows no longer work (except for the driver side window). This is a huge safety issue when needing fresh air, or for getting car sick. I've seen many vehicles of this same manufacturer having this same problem when searching for solutions online.
The car would not start, however all the lights would come on.if we played with the locking system the car would start, but the rear door would lock and not open.this would happen often. Recently, the rear trunk, door, is completely locked and will not unlock. There is no way of opening it.

I have 2007 odyssey ex-l with dvd. The light in car like head and tail light, room light etc is blinking all the time even i drive my car. I already went to dealer ship two times, they just take a look at the battery during the day time and said everything looks fine. At night, my boy can't read a book in the car because of blinking. It looks the generator has problem.
Vehicle caught fire from electrical wiring under passenger front floor board and door jamb.prior to fire starting the air bag light came on and dash panel lights were flashing sporadically.electrical connections melted together in 3 different places across the wiring harness.
My 2 week old honda odyssey has 1200 miles on it and a damaged air conditioner a/c condenser.a rock went through the wide open front grill and easily punctured it.the repair cost was $600.my dealer says it wasn'tunder warranty.icomplained to honda, but haven't heard back from them yet.many online car forums report that thiswas a major design flaw in the odyssey and i agree.i'm going to spend $600 to repair and no telling how much to try to prevent more damage to my brand new $30,000 vehicle.that made no sense.i will not purchase another honda ,and i will tell everyone that crosses my path that they shouldn't either!

2007 honda odyssey lx purchased dec 6, 2007. Approximately 45% of the time according to my logs the vehicle does not crank on the first attempt. Safety issue concern the potential to requiring the starting of the vehicle to leave a dangerous location, or potential life threatening environment.
The vsa light comes on.they replaced everything and now are going to replace the entire wiring harness.this occurred one day after driving the vehicle of the lot.i would have happily exchanged it for another odyssey but honda wants to stick me with this lemon instead of doing what is right.i am now disappointed in the way this has been handled and i will look toward other manufacturers in the future.

Vsa indicator light appeared and would not turn off. Brought vehicle into dealership. I was told that there was a recall on the vsa system about two years ago and the vehicle was repaired according to the recall at that time. Dealership states does not know reason for current problem. Now dealership orders "replace vsa control unit, replace 47 pin vsa connector, bleed system, perform sensor neutral memorization procedure, and test drive."i am concerned that current problem is associated with previous recall problem or that repair made during recall did not actually fix the problem. Dealership denies this but cannot explain reason for current problem.dealership refuses to provide me the damaged part(s).concern: car had 41866 miles and was serviced as required. Dealership cannot identify reason for breakdown of vsa part or system. As there was a previous recall for this part it appears that the current problem and needed repairs may indeed relate to the previous recall.
There was a safety recall campaign number 10v098000 for vsa modulator. I went to dealer to fix this recall around in 2014 and now my odyssey is getting "! vsa" light on dashboard. I checked the code and code is "dtc 66: vsa pressure sensor inside vsa modulator control unit". Dealer is saying vsa modulator is failed and replacement cost is ~$1500. Honda sold defective part on this vehicles and there were many complaints about vsa failures on this vehicles. Myodyssey is only 37,000 mileage. This vsa modulator controls abs also and we are very concerned about the stability of the vehicle with the failure of this module. Please find the photo of the dtc code read by the auto shop.fixing this module is very expensive and honda should pay for selling the defective items which are mainly safety concerns.
Owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, the entire instrument panel warning indicators remained illuminated. The transmission began to slip gears with slight hesitation & stopped in the middle lane with no power (no lights, no beeps nothing new better was installed on 11/13). After 30 min. Jump started & on the way home the failure recurred. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of this problem on 4/1/14 at 12am est. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Also the warning for this problem is the security system going of randomly for no reason (like doors locking or closing horn going off).
Vsa light stays on.braking is soft.after hard stop car shuddered and drove rough upon accelerating .braking is no longer the same as before the light came on.
On the above i was rear ended in two vehicle accident because my honda odyssey suddenly stopped. I informed the officer, but the other was charged with the accident. (at fault).
Takata recall, i took my go to walmart to change the engine oil and filter and the guy that changed, notice that the tank was leaking fuel from the top of the tank, i have let me know what was happening so, i decided to took the go with my mechanic. I used a camera to see on the very top of the tank and i saw the fuel leak coming from the top inside of the tank, he said it comes from the pump fuel system, so i see why my full tank doesn't get me the miles that it suppose to getby gallon. That's why we always notice the van that smells like gas and parking whenwe can see the gas on the floor. I was thinking it was water coming that from the air condition. . i'm worry about the combination of heat and gas that can cause fire. I live in texas and here the tempeture is really hot.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while driving 45 mph the brakes engaged automatically until the vehicle stopped, although she was applying pressure to the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the vehicles stability assist sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. The remedy failed to repaired the vehicle.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, a report was filed and assigned to a regional officer to investigate. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 49,246.
The vsa light check engine light and fuel light here and there keeps coming on i just had this vehicle for 4 years already i just had the engine oil leak fixed i changed oil every 6 months. Also had the alternator and starter changed as well as battery replaced. Is there any possibility the software on the vehicle needs to be updated?
While driving in heavy raining conditions or flow of water pool, on roadway or hwy, vehicle wants to shut off displaying no charging, like i have no power for a few seconds.twice this occurred on hwy speed 70+ or25-30 +, on roadway with heavy rain and flow of water pool splash during turn vehicle shut off and power up within approximately 3-5 seconds. I was able to move over to the off road medium and regain engine power.this has happen numerous times in the course of 2 yrs.bringing vehicle to honda dealership which they cant repeat complaint even with hosing engine belt with water,though the tech stated many customers have reported this during raining conditions.note no power steering due to this event.

I forgot to add the recall number on the vsa device that locks up without drivers involvement and causes accidents. I was told by honda it is 13-098 in my former complaint today. Bottom line, if i drive it with this unsafe condition and it locks up andcauses an accident, who is liable for damages etc? if i don't drive it i have no car until repaired. Does or is honda responsible to provide us a car until ours is repaired and safe again. I received a recall notice and now tom scott honda in nampa id said they can't repair it until sometime next year because they can't get parts until then. From my understanding this vehicle is being recalled because the brakes lock up do to the vsa device malfunctioning and causing accidents in which people are getting hurt. What is the answer?
While driving my 2007 model honda odessey, on june 5th 2018 without any warning signs, vehicle shut off, dash went off. Tried to apply brake, it didn't work. Somehow managed to put the park gear to pull over to a left turn line to avoid collision with other vehicles on the road. 911 was alerted since the vehicle was blocking the left turn line and was not able to even open the door to come out of the van. After few minutes i was able to turn it on and there was no engine sign. No injuries or damage was sustained. I continued driving the van home. After two weeks the engine sign came up and we took it to the honda authorized dealership. They couldn't find anything wrong which causes this engine shutdown abruptly. They were unable to duplicate the problem. After two days the battery went down. So we replaced the battery with a new one. On july 21, my cousin was driving the van and the same happened again. He pulled over to the side and after few attempts it started again and he rode back and parked at his house. On july 24th, we tried to turn it on but the battery was down. We jump started it on 27th and took it to the same dealership. They kept it doing several tests until july 31st and found nothing wrong with it. They ok'd us to take the vehicle since they couldn't duplicate the issue . We are very much concerned to ride it again fear of safety to our own life and the other innocent fellows on the road. We reported the honda customer service and they suggested to take it to another dealership. They are not willing to take any responsibility if something happens when we drive the van.we searched online and found few others has reported the same kind of incidents for the same model but different year. I am requesting nhtsa investigate on this issue and give your recommendations

Honda odyssey 2007 model is having a recall on vsa with service bulletin 13-098 on malfunction of vsa in the vehicle. My vehicle was performed this recall in 2014. Now my vehicle is started showing "! vsa" orange light on the dash board. Honda of freehold dealer (www.hondaoffreehold.com) performed the diagnostic ($136 charged) and told me that abs/vsa control unit part number 57110-shj-a61 is bad and need to be replaced. Cost of this part is $1117.50 and the quoted service charge is $256.00. My vehicle is just completed 37,000 miles. When i search the web for "vsa modulator unit" failure in odyssey. There are many customers reported the failure of this part.honda is selling defective parts in their vehicles. This part is very expensive and failed with very less mileage on the vehicle and many of the customers reported failures. Please take an action regarding this defective part in the honda vehicles. Honda need to pay the part and service for this.
Approx 10/2/13 was driving on a road i travel frequently and was accelerating when suddenly my car lost power and slowed rapidly.i thought it was a fluke then on 10/11/13 i was driving a road i travel on daily when suddenly my car slowed by about 30 mph in just a few seconds.i put my foot on the brake and realized it was already engaged and was why i was slowing down.10/16/13 - car went to dealer to be repaired.dealer found source codes dtc 26-1 lateral acc sensor, and dtc 27-1 steering angle sensor but could not replicate and told me they did not know what the fix was.10/17/13 - was driving on the same road as on 10/11 - clanging/grating sound in steering column and then brakes engaged, was accelerating slowly prior to this.slowed down almost to a stop, then slowly accelerated again. Within a quarter of a mile it happened again (was driving slower at this time b/c i was worried it would happen again), this time the triangle w/ the exclamation point on it flickered (this is the first time it came on, all other times no lights or anything).taking it back to dealer tomorrow but unless it happens to them was told there was nothing they could do. Repeatedly told them of the investigation but they said they don't know the fix.thankfully no one was behind me during these occurrences but if they had there would have been an accident due to how fast the car decelerated.
Foot on gas peddle when car accelerated by itself and then the car automatically applied the brakes and the car moved to the right. I was driving about 40 mph when this happened and it felt as though i was braking to avoid an accident. It did this about five times in the distance of about 3/4 of a mile. If someone where traveling close behind me they would have rear-ended me. The car is at the dealer now, but i guess it's called the "eva" (?) light came on. When i took it to the dealer today the light did not show. My granddaughter was with us in the car and looked up the problem on her phone while we were driving and saw that honda odyssey had this breaking problem. I don't know what would happen if this where to occur at highway speeds. I luckily was a few miles from home and limped home, but was on the interstate shortly before this breaking problem.please add my vehicle to your other complaints.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While driving, the vsa warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the brake pedal felt "spongy" when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (victory honda of sandusky, 2301 hayes ave, sandusky, oh 44870) where it was diagnosed that the vsa module failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired due to the part cost. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaignnumber: 13v500000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.
Sliding door with not latch and battier does not charge.
Vsa light came on then the car will not go over 2000 rpms and the steering gets hard. The brakes go to floor making hard brake feel. This happened on the interstate.
I received a letter detailing the reacall on my 2007 honda oddysey' s vsa module. I brought in my vehicle to have the problem fixed. The vehicle did not have any observable issues, before i brought it in to the racine, wi honda dealership. After the work was preformed i observed that when the vehicles headlights were on, the cruise control, and rear brake lights were no longer operational, and the vsa light would illuminate on the dashboard after the light switch had been engaged for 7 literal minutes. This issue only occurs when the headlight switch is engaged. I have brought the vehicle back to the dealership on 4 seperate occasions, and they have been unwilling, and unable to fix the problem. When they observed the problem with my vehicle, the honda mechanic says that the error codes that are showing up are impossible to be occuring, and that he's never seen anything like it before. They then try to upsell me, on various components on the vehicle, that have no observable defects. I purchased this vehicle because i have three young children, and was under the impression that honda oddysey' s were reliable. After getting pulled over several times by local law enforcement for driving without brake lights at night, i have been forced to park the vehicle. I brought the vehicle to the kenosha honda dealership, and they said that they would not perform the necessary repairs, since the recall work was done at another dealership. As a single father of three, i am beyond frustration with honda's indifference to this issue, and "catch us if you can" attitude. Because of the defective remedy to the vsa recall, i am unable to drive this vehicle which i still owe $6000 on ($315 monthly). Because of this issue the vehicle only has a resale value of about $800, ,and the toyota dealership said that they were essentially uninterested, in taking this vehicle in as a trade-in. Help!!!
I am still waiting to recall to be fixed. It is showing check engine light.
I have a honda 2007 odyssey and the all four brake rotors need to be changed, and i have been the only owner of the vehicle i have had the van since nov. 20/2006 i always drive the van every where how can this be to a new van?i was quoted a price of 1200$ to fix.this may be a safety problem but not sure how much of one, but when stopping is concerned it is serious.
Steering is stiff and hard to turn in slow driving while parking or turning.vsa sign is always on.
I received a vehicle recall notice in december 2013 and went into to have the work done at tom scott honda in nampa id. I scheduled an appointment 12/18/13 for the repair. I received a call at approximately 5pm stating honda dose not have the parts to correct this unsafe condition and won't until next year sometime. What are we as consumers to do when we been noticed of this unsafe condition and don't want to drive with this condition. Is the dealer responsible to proved us a car until ours is fixed and safe to drive? [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The vsa control went out which is a $1500.00 repair. The honda odyssey has been recalled overseas but not in the u.s. I called honda and they only gave me a 25% discount on the part. Even though this model has been identified as a recall. Surprised at honda.
I hadno problem w/ the vsa.i received the recall notice and had the part replaced. This oct,2014 i was driving on us-2 in nw mt on a slushy road when the vsa warning light came on. I brought the vehicle back to honda. They told me thebrake part of the vsa unit was now faulty. They also told me that it wasn't part of the original recall.(replacement cost of this unit was quoted as $1,100.00 w/o labor !!! ) was this replacement part also defective?? was it incorrectly repaired??is this a recurring issue with this recall??? who now pays the repair cost?thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
We have a 2007 honda odyssey with 76,000 miles. In december 2012 we had been driving for approximately 3-4 minutes, exiting onto the highway and accelerating to reach 65 miles per hour. When we reached approximately 55-60 mph and were still accelerating the car spontaneously applied the brakes for approximately 3 seconds, lurching us forward. We stopped accelerating and began to pull over. It again spontaneously braked as we were slowing down. We attempted to drive slowly along the side of the road, to get to the next exit, and it happened again. Once we were finally able to stop in a safe place we turned off the car. We turned the car back on and it did not do it again. We took the car to the dealer and they only found one code - the steering sensor. They re-calibrated it but were not convinced that was the problem. Sure enough, approximately two months later the same thing happened. We were not going quite as fast and it did not lurch quite as severe. After it did this three times i was at a stop light and pushed the switch to turn the vsa off. It did not occur again. Took it to the dealer and they found no codes. They drove 17 miles and could not duplicate the problem. The weather conditions both times were approximately 30-40 degrees with some snow or wetness on the ground from prior precipitation. The dealer continues to say there is no problem because it shows no code and they can't replicate the problem. Manufacture was contacted and they instructed dealer to drive again and try to duplicate. They deny any other incidents documented (despite listings on this website that say they have been notified of the same problem.)
While pulling out from work parking lot, vsa light came on, d letter gear was blinking, and engine vibrated abnormally.rpm could not get passed 3000.also, checked engine oil when got home and it appeared to be low.the vehicle just got oil changed about a month ago.
When i go to pass or accelerate my vehicles brake feel they are being activated or something is misfiring. This happens every time i drive my vehicle. There is a recall on the vsa for 2007 honda odysseys already but mine is not included in this recall but i think differently. After this happens while i'm driving the vsa light stays illuminated which makes me presume it has something to do with the recall. What do i need to do to verify that mine is indeed not a part of this recall or have it fixed properly under this recall?.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that there was a manufacturer recall in regards to the vehicle stability assist. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer, a repair was scheduled and they indicated that the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that years later, the failure recurred with the vsa warning light illuminating. The contact stated that the manufacturers recall remedy did not prevent the failure. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa action number: pe13024 (electronic stability control). The failure mileage was not available.
(1) dealer performed the recall item vsa update 13-098 on 8/5/15. After that driving home the vsa warning light appeared.(2) came back to dealer on 8/28/15 dealer found codes 61-1 and 66-1, claimed it was nothing to do with the recall and wanted to charge for a diagnostic. However, vsa warning light never came on before the recall update for all time before.
Vsa warning light went on suddenly during driving. Steering wheel feels not stablewhen turning after the light is on. Took the vehicle to honda dealer and was told the communication between the vsa module and the computer is lost and need replace vsa module for $1,600. It is not a problem caused by wear-and tear and honda should be responsible for making the electronics more reliable in odyssey models.
A vsa with a triangle warning sign is on in my dashboard, i scare the abs brakes will not work properly and it doesn't work the vsa switch on the left side of the dash neither to switch on or off, i check tires and looks ok the pressure of each, is any recall about this problem with this honda odissey '07?
The tensioner bolt has sheared off 3 times since the serpentine belt was replaced.in both cases the car was in motion and power steering was lost making it nearly impossible to steer the car safely. Fortunately this did not happen on the highway and occurred on city streets.in all cases our mechanic used original factory parts.this is a significant safety concern for my wife and 5 children.it appears others have experienced similar problem that can be referenced on the following website.

I own a 2007 honda odyssey ex-l. Had vehicle in the shop today for pa state vehicle inspection and the vehicle failed due to a broken frontand rear engine mount. Vehicle has 66,000 miles on it and is only 6,000 miles out of extended warranty. This appears to be common problem as seen from other posts on the internet ...so much so that the mechanic certainly was aware of it to find in less than a 5 minute look at the vehicle without a driveability complaint by me. Nhtsa should investigate this common safety failure mode for the honda odyssey. Costs to repair totaled $1001.84 ($722.99 parts and $278.85 labor) to repair this safety issue found during state safety inspection.

While driving vehicle check engine light came on and car was running very poorly. Took car to local auto parts store, employee hooked car to diagnostic computer and misfire codes came up and car was only running on 2 cylinders. Drove car to mechanic. After diagnosing problem was explained i would need a full tune up and head replacing. After further exploring mechanic noticed metal filings in cylinder and recommended engine replacement due to damage to housing and possibly to rings.which would cost more then value of car.
Frist the check enginelight came on i took it to honda what came out of that visit was a repare bill of over 4400 00 dollars then it came back on after 3wks. Now it is this tapping sound from the engine.all on the city street.
I was picking up my son from school when i got back on the car i notice some smog coming out of the engine compartment, for a moment i though that the smog have gone away but when i open the hood there was a fire on the right hand side of the engine compartment.i tried to extinguish the file with a fire extinguisher but i couldn't contain the fire.we called the fire department and they took over.the fire destroyed the front end of the car the engine compartment. When the fire began the car was stationary i was getting ready to leave from a parking lot in my son's school.

We bought this 2007 honda odyssey a few months ago, and ever since we have owned it, it will just keep going for awhile at the same speed we had it at, even though we take our foot off the gas. We have to put it in neutral to stop, or it will pull a bit hard on the brakes. We can stop it like this, but it will wear the brakes out fast. Also, when we put it in drive or reverse, after a few seconds, it speeds up a little. It will just go down the road slowly without putting our foot on the gas. If we leave it in reverse, it will accelerate right through the garage, if we let it. After it is in neutral for a few seconds, it finally goes back down to a regular rpm, but goes back up every 6 seconds or so, then back down, etc... Also, when it is idling, and i turn the steering wheel, it revs up again on it's own. We have had the throttle body cleaned, and had it completely checked on a scanner, and nothing came up; everything looked good on the scanner.
The engine stalls.this has occurred many times over the last year.it appears to be random but has been occurring more frequently the past few months.last week it stalled 3 times.the stalling usually occurs during the summer months.it occurs when coming to a stop or when i am stopped.it has occurred one time while backing up.you can tell when it is going to happen.the engine seems to start running rough.when stopped, the engine will be at 800 or 900 revs and then suddenly drop then jump up and then the engine will shut off.i put the car in neutral and start the engine.it always starts fine. It happens on hot and cool days, rainy and sunny days.it happens with the ac on or the ac off.i have tried using gas exclusively from exxon and then exclusively from bp for months at ta time in each case.no difference.i have taken it to a mechanic and to the dealership multiple times.nothing ever shows up on the computer.i even had it stall as i parked it at the dealership.the dealership nor the mechanics have not been able to find a problem.to try something, i had the spark plugs changed and a tune up done.the vehicle stalled the next day.i have reported the problem to honda automotive usa.they gave me no help or solution other than taking it to the dealership.i am very leery to drive the vehicle.i don't feel safe!
While exiting a parking lot and accelerating to aprox. 20 mph, the vehicle began to shudder and vibrate violently accompanied by the illumination of the check engine warning light. We shortly afterward noticed a reduction in power. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop, who stated that, there were several misfire codes generated when diagnosed. The repair shop diagnosed the failure as the cylinder 5 coil having melted into the cylinder. As a result, the shop had to remove the cylinder head in order to remove the coil and spark plug from the vehicle. The repair shop stated that the failure was caused by the spark plug becoming loose and fuel leaking into the cylinder head chamber. The repair shop stated that this was the third of these failures seen by them. The dealer of purchase and themanufacturer were alerted of the failure but offered no resolution. The dealer (keeler honda, latham ny) was in fact quite rude about the failure in general. We were concerned of the safety risk involved with the failure. The vehicle was repaired with the total bill of $2411.00. The failure mileage was 90,108.
I was driving around 20mph when i smelled smoke i pulled over.there was smoke coming out of the car around the right front tire.within minutes my engine was on fire.my car is completely totaled.my family is safe but would love to know why this has happened and don't want it to happen to anyone else.if there is another website or agency that i should report this to, please let me know.it was very scary.

The engine had to be restarted to regain acceleration power. The local mechanic performed a diagnostic and advised the contac that the engine oil pressure assembly switch was defective. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 68,500.
When accelerating from idle, at times, the engine is sluggish and doesn't seem to respond immediately. The engine revs slightly and then as it seems to engage, it jerks forward.
Engine mounts went bad.when accelerating from a stopped position, the car appears to jump.took it to the dealer and both the front and back engine mounts were cracked.very expensive to replace.dealer said it's not a common problem on most cars, but he's had several honda odysseys come in with this problem.

The engine was making pinging sounds like lifers were bad, but computer didn't show anything wrong and no engine lights came on, took to honda dealer they said bearings bad and needed new engine. Why would that happen when engine oil was maintained and changed . Never over heated etc.
Side and front engine motor mounts are coming apart.this is an arizona vehicle, not subject to accelerated salt rust.according to honda owner forums, this is a common problem for which the manufacturer takes no responsibility.considering the condition and mileage of my vehicle,motor mounts should not be coming apart.
Bad engine mounts for the 2007 honda odyssey exl model. Will cost over $2000 to repair.
The vsa light check engine light and fuel light here and there keeps coming on i just had this vehicle for 4 years already i just had the engine oil leak fixed i changed oil every 6 months. Also had the alternator and starter changed as well as battery replaced. Is there any possibility the software on the vehicle needs to be updated?
While traveling on flat, level surface streets at roughly 40mph, car would spontaneously downshift (to 1st gear?) causing the vehicle to slow very quickly/lots of drag (locking up seatbelts) as if the brakes were applied quickly.the vehicle will then reshift back into a higher gear with little to no resistance again. This may happen 1-4 times within a 60 second period.pulling the car over, turning off and turning on again seems to fix issue.shifting into second gear, seemed to fix issue.shifting into neutral, power cycling car seemed to fix issue.over the last 6 months or so, this has happened ~2x month.
After stopping at a stop light driver accelerated to approximately 32 mph; the van suddenly decelerated to nearly a dead stop.once the van returned to a normal speed the same event occurred within minutes of the first incident.weather was rainy; driver was alone.the van was taken to the local dealer where they were unable to duplicate the incident.

Driving very slowly uphill in a hospital parking deck, the principal driver of the car turned into an available parking slot applying some gas, from 25-30 feet away, only to have the vehicle accelerate uncontrollably, even with the driver's right foot fully engaged with the brake pedal. The van jumped over parking blocks at the end of the space and struck a concrete post, whereupon the engine compartment crumpled and the airbags engaged. The van bounced back approximately twenty feet. Witnesses attracted by the sound of squealing tires, revving engine noise (before impact)and the subsequent crash itself came to render assistance and call police. The driver's right's foot was severely bruised by the crash impact and her sternum fractured. The vehicle was a declared total loss.
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.
Engine has excessive oil consumption issue. I've been burning about 3 quarts of oil per month.
Engine mount causing vibration and sound under the hood.
Loss of power steering & difficulty turning steering wheel.paint on top of the roof has begun to fade.had to replace oil pan because of lug nut damage to pan.according to the mechanic damaged was caused to the oil pan due to the quality of metal within the lug nut that is of harsher material than the oil pan.therefore, it caused damage to the oil pan that required us to have an immediate oil pan replacement during a routine oil change.
The front and right side engine mounts for this vehicle were broken around 78,000 miles.the engine mounts should not broken within this short mileages and years.there seems lots of other honda odyssey owners have the same engine mountsissue.the engine mount replacement is very expensiveand this is also a big safety issue.the engine mount, especially the front engine mount design should be investigated and should be replaced with a better engine mount.
Motor mounts need replacing and are cracked. Seems to be a constant problem as many americans are facing the issue as well as seen on the internet after conducting a search.

I had bought my 2007 honda odyssey used in august 2017 prior to our second child being born.it was one family owned with approximately 75k miles on it.about 6 months into it the ac compressor broke causing the car to cease being drivable and requiring a tow to our mechanic.he found that not only did the compressor break but also the serpentine belt and the tensioner had gone.we had the repair done and everything seemed fine until about another six months went by and the same thing happened again.the ac compressor stopped working, the car would not accelerate at all and required a tow and the serpentine belt and tensioner were broken again.all was covered under warranty, but the inconvenience factor is more problematic.this issue has happened four times in the two years that we have owned the vehicle.i have seen similar complaints from other owners of 2007 honda odysseys.i have indicated the most recent date of the incident.
My honda odyssey shuts off completely while driving, at that time you can't turn the steering wheel (or it is very very hard to turn). This is preceded by usually the lights on dashboards flashing. Sometimes it will shut off (dashboard will go black) and come right back after few seconds. Other times the i have to stop and turn it on again and it works. Yesterday it turned off and the car came to stop then i moved the battery little and the hazard light started flashing. When it's completely dead even hazard light would not blink. Today it happened again and even after moving the battery it did not get power back. I had left the hazard light on but it was not blinking. However after around 5 minutes or so on it's own thehazard light started blinking and i could drive off.
While turning into a parking space and applying my brakes, the engine revved, brakes stopped responding and the vehicle propelled forward, resulting in the vehicle jumping a median and ramming into a tree at which point the airbags deployed and engine cut-off. This left me with burns on the skin of my arms and neck area. I have owned and driven this van for six years and am certain that i was applying the brake. The vehicle had to be towed as the driver side seatbelt was left inoperable. We were told by our dealership that the side air bag had deployed within the column, but did not enter the cabin as it was not visible and was caught within the seat belt pillar.
My 2007 honda odyssey touring van had a problem with the engine icon appearing on my dash. I called my dealer, for this problem wasn't resolved on the last service visit.they said to bring it in.i added 3/4 qt. Of oil due to the oil level, at last check fine, now indicated the level to be at its lowest point in the approvedrange for runability.services performed, and when i picked it up, i noticed the engine icon still flashing on the dash.went in to get a service advisor to view, and on a second re-start this had disappeared.thinking all was now well (and was this possibly tied to a software update service?), took the vehicle about 35 miles home to a grocery store.when i had finished shopping, and started my van, there it was again, the engine icon, flashing away.the next day i reported this to my dealer, and they said bring it in.as the engine was visibly hot, i said i would try and hoped to make it there.getting of the turnpike exit, my van engine quit and luckily i coasted in to a park 'n ride parking lot.i called my dealer to find out they had no wrecker but used a service. They told me to get it there so they could look at it.i cooled the engine with hood up on a cool rainy day, and re-started my van, and made it to the dealership.i was supplied with a loaner car, and they said they would check over my van on the next day.after everything, we were notified we had blown a head gasket, leading to failure of our engine.this in spite of maintaining all fluid levels properly!we would need a new engine, and no, the extended warranty we purchased does not cover this work. Very, very angry!!
The check engine light went on while i was driving on a four lane highway at 65 mph.there was no warning or previous sign of problems. The vehicle had not been driven under harsh conditions, and it was maintained appropriately.i was able to pull car into a dealership within less than 1 mile.i felt i had lost acceleration and power.it turns out that the spark plug blew through the aluminum cylinder head and i lost 2 cylinders on a v6 engine.i'm told that metal dropped into the cylinder scoring it deeply enough that it can't be repaired.there appears to be a wealth of documentation of this problem for honda engines and honda has denied any defect or responsibility.fortunately, i was not in any accident or injured but this seems to be a safety problem, had i been on a major freeway, i'm not sure this would have worked out the same.the car will now have to be totaled a the repair costs cannot be justified ($6,000-7,500).honda offered no good will in any way.
On december 18, 2013, my check engine light came on.i took the van to an express oil change company the same day for an oil change and asked them to read the codes.the codes were random multiple cylinder misfires and theyadvised me that i might need to have spark plugs changed at next oil change, but it should be fine to drive.the mileage on the van on that date was 94,482 miles.on february 7th, while driving to work, my check engine light began flashing and the van started to drive very sluggish.i called the mechanic i use for repairs and they advised me not to drive it other than to bring the van in.upon reading the diagnostic codes, they stated that the spark plugs and coil packs needed to be changed.while attempting to remove the old spark plugs and coil packs, the coil pack and spark plug in cylinder 5 had completely melted and fused to the walls of the cylinder.my mechanic did some online research and spoke with a honda technician and determined that the issue was due to a faulty vcm and that only replacing the head would not eliminate the problem.the honda tech advised to replace the engine.these are the exact same symptoms as the class action law suit with 2008 honda odyssey engines.
My catalytic converter shields (front cover a and b) were replaced on 6/19/2012.on 6/22/2015 the front (a and b) catalytic converter shields were replaced again and the the rear shields (a and b) were replaced as well. I'm not sure if this is a safety issue but it seems excessive so i thought i would report it.
Dealer is claiming that i need 2 new engine mounts to pass the next state inspection, quoting me 2300 dollars to replace. I have over 800k miles on several cars, never had a problem with engine mounts. I never heard of these mounts failing either.
On 04/18/14 i took my vehicle to tameron honda because it was misfiring. The check engine light would come on then the engine would begin jerking and not responding. I paid $5940.01 because they said the engine needed rebuilding. This is a lot of money but i did not have a choice in that they told me i would not get anything on a trade in and i really couldn't afford another car. I picked up the car after the repairs were complete and the next day i was at a stop trying to merge across a 4 lane road. The engine started misfiring again and i couldn't get above about 10 mph. No one hit me but it could have very easily been a bad accident. I have taken my vehicle back to tameron 4 more times with the same scenario. Twice i have been on the interstate and lost power to about 10 mph. Again i managed to pull to the side without getting hit. Just a lot of horn blowing. The dealership really didn't have an explanation. The last time i talked to the service manager who assured me the problem was fixed and it was probably due to my "fuel". They continued to let me drive the vehicle even though i was telling them what was happening. A couple of weeks ago i was on the interstate with my grandson in the car. The engine completely shut off like a switch had been pulled. I hit my hazard light button and managed to coast to the side of the road. I had to call a tow truck.the explanation given was the fuel tank indicator had broken and i was out of gas. They replaced the indicator and also replaced the fuel pump which was recalled. They didn't mention the recall. I know my vehicle has 133,000 miles but this doesn't seem right. I am suppose to have a rebuilt engine and i am just waiting for the next incident. Next time there may be a crash.
I have a 2007 honda odyssey and i had to have the front and rear motor mounts replaced last year in feb 2014. The car only had 67000 miles. Well, it has been less that 2 years and the mounts have gone bad again.i have seen many sites that have complaints of this beingmajor problem but honda does not want to do a recall.last time it cost me over $500 for the 2 and this time the cost will be about the same.i have not contacted honda yet but will do so tomorrow. Also, i had the timing belt and tensioner replaced in feb 2014 as well and now the water pump, timing belt and tensioner need replacement again. They sit next to the motor mount and i am wondering if the bad mount is also damaging the water pump, etc....
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle erroneously accelerated as the vsa warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that there were cracks in the radiator that affected the engine temperature and caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000.
The large bolt that goes through the belt tensioner roller into the bracket attached to the motor has sheared off twice in the last 3 months after driving less than 5000 miles. This has happened once when driving at 50+ mph and most recently when driving 25mph. The first incident occurred after a honda dealer replaced the timing belt, t-belt tensioner and serpentine belt. I'm unsure if they replaced the bolt in question at that time. However, within 500 miles of driving the bolt sheared off. Then a different honda dealer replaced the broken bolt, tensioner roller and serpentine belt all of which were damaged when the bolt failed. Once again after driving less than 5000 miles the same bolt has broken. This is a potentially dangerous situation as well as being costly. The dealer is claiming no fault, yet these are parts that honda dealers are installing in their own shops. This needs to be looked at to protect the consumer and avoid potentially dangerous driving situations.
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. I am not able to get this fixed as it costs nearly 1200$ every time this occurs.
The vehicle is burning 1 quart of oil in between 600 and 800 miles. I now change the oil every 3000 miles. The computer still shows that i have upwards of 40% of the oil life remaining when changing the oil.my mechanic(not honda dealership) has tried contacting honda but gets no solution. I have tried contacting dealer but they say that a quart of oil every 600 miles is normal. Car stalls out when under 2 quarts of oil. Honda recalled years after my odyssey with same issue but has not recalled my year. Same engine and computer, same problem.
On october 16, 2013, my honda accelerated at a fast speed up my driveway and caused$6,178.37 in repair costs and slammed into my front porch. The brakes did not work to stop the car.we immediately informed honda and our insurance carrier of the accident, and the car was towed to honda in old bridge, nj, as it could not be driven due to damage.on 11/15/2013, see claims summary, honda could not determine if this an acceleration issue. They never informed us of what the issue was.honda did not provide me with a rental car, so i had to rent a car from 10/21/13 to 11/26/13, which i paid $603.96 out of pocket (receipts enclosed).the amount of time honda was way too long fix my car and i had pay additional rental costs due to their unreasonable delay. Shortly, after honda repaired my car, i received a recall notice that the brakes were recalled. Really?this is why my car would not stop. There have been several recalls on my honda.a year after purchase, the engine broke down. I wrote to nj attorney general, who wrote back and asked that i write to you. I am also attaching pictures of the accident.there are tire marks in the driveway due to the high speed of the acceleration.photos fluids running down my driveway, and the damaged front end. I have also enclosed nj manufacturer's, copy of the claim summary dated 11/15/13.this matter is very upsetting to me and the way it was handled by honda.my husband, also purchased a new pilot, and my honda were both purchased new at the same honda. I know there are acceleration issues with this honda and this was an acceleration issue and a mechanical issue on the fault of the brakesi am requesting to be reimbursed for the car rental, insurance deductible and a refund of the cost i paid for the honda in the amount of $28,931.46. My car has never driven the same since the accident.
2007 honda odyssey. Consumer states problem with vehicle brakes *tgwthe consumer stated the brakes emitted a squealing and grinding noise on a regular, but not constant on a basis when braking or turning. The dealer informed the consumer the brake problem had been rectified. However, the next day, the consumer noticed when he applied the brakein excess of 60 mph, the van would vibrate and shimmy. He also noticed a constant and unusually loud washing-machine-agitator type noise which became louder while riding in the middle seat area. The consumer stated the entire van vibrated so violently when he applied the brake at speeds of 60 mph and over he became extremely concerned about maintaining control of the vehicle. The consumer took the vehicle to another repair shop, where it was recommended that the rear motor mount, rotors and brakes be replaced. The consumer was also informed that one of the tires was badly worn.
2007 odyssey with 13,000 miles, the ac suddenly quit working. Took it to the honda dealer and was informed that the condenser was hit by the road debris and caused the leakage.i was charged $790 to install a new condenser.
Failure of front a/c condenser by a supposed "rock"impact resulting in loss of refrigerant and a/c service.i contend this is related to design defect of the front bumpers and lack of grill in large opening. Honda provided no compensation and extended warranty refused by stating "dealer stated rock impact is considered a collision under warranty"a google search reveals this is a wide spread problem with many models of honda, not just odyssey.
Front grille of honda odyssey- and many other models allows for road debris to damage condenser coils in engine. Not covered under warranty due to being a road hazard- but simply looking at design will be obvious this is a design flaw. Severe misjudgment has occurred with this design- and honda is refusing to cover this under any warranty- dealer agrees, mechanic agrees- worst design ever.

The manufacturer advised the contact that the vehicle was outside of warranty and would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 48,007.
Honda odyssey 2007defective oil drain plug honda's drain plug is defective in that it generates permanent leakage upon its removal in the event of an oil change. Honda is acknowledging this defective condition of the drain plug, and is requiring the consumer to bear the burden of its defective product by requiring the recurring purchase ofthese replacement drain plugseach time the oil is changed. Again, this leaves the burden of the defective part on the consumer, in addition to enabling large amounts of oil toleak onto the environment, as well as endangering the life of one's vehicle if these drain plugs are not replaced upon each oil change. The consumer should not have to bear this burden. Honda should manufacture a safenon-defective product. Also, the consumer had to figure out why the vehicle was leaking when honda knew all along and did not notify the consumer.
While driving in heavy raining conditions or flow of water pool, on roadway or hwy, vehicle wants to shut off displaying no charging, like i have no power for a few seconds.twice this occurred on hwy speed 70+ or25-30 +, on roadway with heavy rain and flow of water pool splash during turn vehicle shut off and power up within approximately 3-5 seconds. I was able to move over to the off road medium and regain engine power.this has happen numerous times in the course of 2 yrs.bringing vehicle to honda dealership which they cant repeat complaint even with hosing engine belt with water,though the tech stated many customers have reported this during raining conditions.note no power steering due to this event.

Air conditioning unit stopped working.vehicle was taken in for a service was told that a rock went through a condenser which is placed unprotected under the radiator. Poor design placement will not be covered by manufactures warranty.
While driving my 2007 honda odyssey with less than one year of service, i began to notice steam coming from the engine area. I was in the process of driving to an appointment when i noticed it. The next day, my vehicle no longer had a/c. After taking it to the dealership, i was informed that a small pebble had broken one of the fins on the ac condenser. It would cost $850.00 to fix it. There was no unusual wear and tear nothing that i could have done to prevent this. What's more, once i replace this, there is no guarantee that another pebble won't fly into the grille again based on it's location. This is not covered by the manufacturer or an extended warranty. The consumer loses big here. We've had to drive and save for 6 months to get this replaced.
While traveling on the highway, a rock hit my a/c condenser.a replacement condenser costs $700-1,000.please ask honda to invent some sort of condenser guard to protect it from road debris.my father had same problem with his 2006 honda odyssey.
We own an odyssey and crv. Both of them have a problem with the heat shield rusting and making noises when accelerating. The only way to replace it is to replace the catalytic converter, which is very expensive. In researching this online it looks like many other honda owners with all different makes and models have experienced this problem. Has this been investigated? the other option is to remove this heat shield but it sounds like this could cause a fire if you park on grass or it could damage the other car parts in close proximity to the converter..
Engine warning light began blinking. Minivan could not accelerate above 55 mph., and it shook and sputtered as speed increased. Seemed necessary to let of the accelerator to allow the engine to shift and increase speed. Knocking sound coming from the engine area. Told by honda dealer that spark plug had been removed by someone causing damage to threading in coil/cylinder head. Highly unlikely that anyone accessed engine or spark plugs in this timeframe. Service tech is machining new threads into coil/cylinder head. This is a very costly repair.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that there was a knocking noise from the engine area. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle had previously been involved in a crash which the technician stated could have been the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
1) mileage: 73,649. 10/26/11. Honda replaced p/s as it was leaking. 2)10/10/13: replaced p/s pressure hose as it was leaking.3) mileage: 113,903. 2/22/14. Another leak with the p/s. Was advised that it could be something as simple as a seal or it could be the p/s itself. Will find out after driving the car around. Doesn't make sense that the p/s pump should fail again after 40,254 miles. Was told that honda will probably not cover the cost after that many miles. Not happy as i have had several issues with the van. Front wheel bearings were replaced at 34,000+ miles. P/s rack & pinion was found leaking at 34,094 miles. Left passenger door failed auto open. Honda fixed that and now that warranty is over, it's starting to happen again.
Dera sir:we bought this vehicle (honda odyssey, 2007) in may 2007 in michigan. Since last 18 months, we have been experiencing serious issues with this vehicle. One issue was power steering (not able to maneuvering), i went tohonda. They changed the power steering unit twice in the last 12 months (i purchased extenede warranty, otherwise it would have been an expensive thing for me). Again, i had same issue this week, then i went tohonda. They mentioned "right side inner and outer tie rods loose and were completely worn out". They did mentiioned to me that it is dangaerous to drive this vehicle. They kept my vehicle overnight and installed a new part. I believe there is serious flaws in the design of this particle year model.today i am experienceing different problem, shaking engine at 40 mph. They did update the software but still there is problem in this vehicle. I apreciate if nha would take a look into this matter. I almost spent more than $10000 on this vehicle and i realized i bought a piece of junk from honda which i thought was a reliable maker.

We have a 2007 hondy odyssey.. We have noticed that the motormounts have failed on the car. During acceleration, the car vibrates and shakes. We took it to a mechanic and was told the motor mounts failed. In fact we were told this is common with the honda odyssey.
Bought a honda odyssey 07. At 2722 nostrand ave, brooklyn. Ny. 11210. Engine pinging, transmission is intermittent judder,dealer said uses 93 octane gas for pinging, judder can't find , there are big thing about hondaengine pinging and transmission jerking, but they denied to fix it.....it show on www. Hondaproblems.com or odyclub.com i had been backandforth to the dealer for the last two month, andproblem stilldidn't get fix...i spend all my money on a piece of junk....and they ignore the problems.....
Honda odyssey 2007 model - a/c compressor broken because of a hole made by a rock (as stated by honda dealer in diagnosis).this has been the most common cause of a/cs failing in honda odyssey models of year 2007 and prior. This is a design flaw as the compressor is not sufficiently protected from outside debris hitting it.to emphasize that this indeed is a design flaw, the 2008 odyssey and later model now come with a protective mesh covering the condenser, to avoid this problem.but no recall has been issued so far for this defect.i request you to investigate this issue and if found true, honda should fix this defect free of charge for all 2007 odysseys and prior models with this flaw.
After driving my 2007 honda odyssey for 30 minutes, the right rear compartment and cup holder by the 3rd row seats heat up.the temperature heats up to 122 degrees inside the compartment, and bottom of the cup holder up to 110 degrees. This occurs every time after driving 30 minutes or more, regardless whether the air conditioner, and heaters are on or off.this can easily burn a person's skin, especially for younger children.
2007 honda odyssey ex ac compressor had to be replaced after road debris (a small rock)punctured it.the car has less than 40,000 miles and is only driven on main city roads.the total cost of this repair, which was not covered under the warranty was over $800 including towing.i have looked on the internet and it seems that many people have had this problem which is never covered by the warranty - even though there seems to be a flaw in the design.the claims are that the ac compressor is not properly protected and is in the front of the vehicle engine where it is more likely to be exposed to normal road debris.
I was told by the service department that a rock flew up from underneath the minivan, hit the compressor punctured it and knocked out the air conditioning on the 2007 honda odyssey.apparently this is an ongoing defect and problem with honda.
Small rock penetrated the a/c condenser.
A/c on my 2007 honda odyssey stopped working suddenly. When to dealer they said condenser has a hole and rock might have hit the car. I have a warranty and also taken an extended warranty but dealer said its not covered. What i found from googling this is it looks more like a design flaw and so many people has reported this issue. Request you to look intothis issue as soon as possible. If its a design issue it warrants to be taken care of by honda rather than making customer pay for this for no fault of theirs.
I have a 2007 model honda odyssey van.on december 2008 i run over a road debris, last week 6/15/10 my van ac stopped working. I went to honda service center, they are telling my van condenser is damaged due, even though it is under warranty. They don't cove the this.it seems this is a common problem in honda vans.
2007 honda odyssey minivan.the air conditioning went out and the dealer says that a rock must have hit the condenser and put a small hole in it.because it was "damaged" the dealer says the repair is not covered by the warranty, even though we have done nothing to cause the damage. The repair cost is $900. From reading the stories on the web, it sounds like i am not alone in having easy damage to honda odyssey air conditioners with dealers claiming that it is not covered by the warranty.
On the 3rd row seat there is a glove box on the passenger side.the box gets extremely hot.we found out when my child put in her crayons and all the crayons melted.the rear heating system is right under there according to the dealer.i didn't realize it was hot and when removing the bag of melted crayons (which i did not realize they were melted crayons) i burned my self. This occurs every single time.on longer drives it gets even hotter.i took the car to the dealer, as the car is still under warranty.the dealer said that this was a manufacturer's defect and that there was nothing they would do.i then called honda but they said if the dealer said that they couldn't do anything then that was that.the side wall also gets quite warm.not as hot as the box however this is a child safety hazard as children could get burned as well as anyone else who touches it.
Honda odyssey condenser had a hole in it caused by "road debris". Repairman says this happens a lot with honda's and is not covered by warranty. The car is only 1 year old and i am now having to pay $1000 to fix something that is a design flaw.please force honda to recall and put a protection grill on these cars to prevent this common occurrence!!!!
I parked my 2007 honda odyssey in my driveway after running errands - driving approximately 10 miles. I heard a hissing noise coming from the front of the car. I immediately brought the car into the dealer and found out the noise was freon escaping from the compressor (air conditioner). They 'think' a small rock may have penetrated the condenser although no rock was found. This cost to replace this part is $725 and is not covered under the warranty.
I own a 2006 honda odyssey (purchased july 2006). Last weekend, i noticed blue fluid (coolant) on the grill accompanied by a burnt smell and the coolant fluid was below the minimum level. Just two weeks prior, this car was taken in to the dealers for the 1 year minor tune-up. The dealers reported that a rock has punctured the radiator, so that is where the leak was coming from.i was told that this case is not covered by the warranty because it is not from the normal wear and tear.i find it unfair that due to the poor design of the grill that i have to pay a $500 deductible to get this fixed.
2006 odyssey with 32k miles. Starting at or around 28k noticed a chirping or rattling noise coming from engine. Sounds like valves rattling from going up hill w/low octane gas. Took to dealer at 30k they could not heard noise. Now noise occurs at all times from idle to no a/c on to a/c off to applying a slight amount of gas pedal.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.while driving 30 mph, the contact heard a noise coming from the engine compartment.there was a loss of power steering.there were no warning indicators prior to the failure.the vehicle had to be stopped in the middle of the road and towed to the dealer.the dealer stated that the belt failed due to a harmonic balancer and they made the repair.the current and failure mileages were 3,200.
2007 honda odyssey. Engine has always pinged and i'm unsure if honda admits there's a problem and i'm unsure if they're working on a resolution. See http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f153159/[email protected]@ everyone complains with the same symptoms. I have had the van checked out and nothing was found wrong. Even with premium unleaded, there is some ping while driving up steep hills, but premium does make the pinging subside somewhat.
1.normal driving around town and freeway.2.engine pinging, every time vehicle is driven.long term effect (engine damage).3.honda has tried to fix this issue 5 times with no resolve.tech line states they are aware of the problem but no known resolution at this time. The most recent letter from honda was nothing is wrong even though the dealer states the pinging is not normal.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.while driving at low speeds, the vehicle stalls when the contact attempts to accelerate.also, the vehicle fails to gain speed while attempting to accelerate from a stop.the failure is intermittent.prior to the failure, the contact noticed that the vehicle would start and then shut off.the vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealer, but the failure still occurs.the current mileage was 13,000 and failure mileage was 11,000.
2007 honda odyssey. Consumer writes regarding recall *tgwthe consumer stated while driving, the (vsa) vehicle stability assist light illuminated. The vehicle would stall and all power was lost. Updated 10/20/10
At 2,666 miles on the odometer, my honda odyssey exl, purchased on 2/28/2007, suffered catastrophic engine failure in the middle of an intersection.while the service department is unclear on the root cause of the problem, they found the front cam shaft frozen in the cylinder head with the speculation that there was a casting head problem with debris inside the valve assembly.all fluids were at recommended levels.a partial list of repairs:- front head assembly and gasket replaced- rear head gasket replaced.- timing belt and tensioner replaced.- drive belt idler tensioner replaced.- coolant system gasket replaced.- front engine seals replaced.- outer head assembly replaced.how no injury or accident occurred while my car died in the middle of a busy intersection, is just my good fortune.my bad fortune is having to navigate a rude and unaccountable corporate "service" department and live with the legacy of a major manufacturing defect.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, rattling noise emitted and suddenly the engine stalled with the illumination of the warning indicator. The engine restarted and resumed for five minutes before the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer for diagnosis.

A rock damage my 2007 honda causing freon to leak out. Honda dealer estimated that it will cost $800 to fix this.i believe that this is a design flaw with the condenser that honda should recall.i could understand that a rock damage a windshield, but not some part in the engine.please review more complaints athttp://www.topix.com/forum/autos/honda-odyssey/ts3tfhtseucdodh9c.
Honda odyssey air conditioning failed after 10000 miles. Dealer claims rock punched a hole in the ac condenser. Price to fix - $700. American honda says because cause is road damage, warranty does not cover it. This is a design flaw.
We are owners of 2007 honda odyssey (vin # [xxx] ).on july 13, 2010 as we were pulling into a parking lot, the right hand side back window suddenly exploded.the vehicle was traveling less than 5 per hour when this happened.although four kids and one adult were in the vehicle at the time, no one was injured.we immediately reported the incident to the law enforcement (rpt # [xxx]with city of columbus div. Ofpolice).the police searched for any foreign object that may have hit the window.they found nothing inside or outside of the vehicle.although we have been experiencing temperature in the high 80's low 90's, it was in the 70's low 80's on that day.when we researched this issue on-line for similar incidents, there were numerous complaints with rear window exploding.we notified the local honda dealership immediately for potentially defective windows.although they indicated no specific complaint specific to right back window, they said honda of america will be contacted and will get back with us.we have three kids under six years of age who primarily get transported with this vehicle.to ensure the safety of our family, we request the safety concern with the window be addressed asap.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Air conditioning unit stopped working.vehicle was taken in for a service was told that a rock went through a condenser which is placed unprotected under the radiator. Poor design placement will not be covered by manufactures warranty.
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.
Manufacturing defect of 2007 honda odyssey leads to eventual air conditioning failure as condenser is not protected from debris (such as rocks) hitting it and putting a hole in it.hundreds, if not more, of other vehicle owners have had the same problems.
My 2007 honda odyssey air condition stopped blowing cold i took it to a the dealer thay said a rock hit the ac condenser thay said it would cost $900to fix i asked to see the hole it was behind a pipe witched looked like had rubbed against the condenser the dealer will not replace the condenser
The vehicle we are reporting an issue with is a 2007 honda odyssey. The car was purchased last october so it is less then 1 year old and has less then 5,000 miles on it.on tuesday 8/12/2008 the sliding door on the driver side of the car closed on my 2 year olds hand. The door malfunctioned in 2 waysa) the door has a sensor built in that if it meets resistance it bounces back open. In this case the door did not bounce back open as it should have and closed on my kids hand.b) once the door had already closed on his hand we could not get it to open back up and my kids hand was still stuck in the door. The door would not open no matter how many times we hit the open button or pulled on the handle.we had to call the police for help who in turn sent the fire department. The fire department was not able to get the door to open either even with 4 big guys pulling on it, the fire man had to use a crow bar to force the door open.we took my son to the hospital for xrays and they said that due to his age it is the only reason he has no broken bones (at age 2 the bones are still soft and able to flex) they do suspect he might have some fractures so they put him in a soft cast and told us to schedule a visit with a hand surgeon to inspect the hand to make sure there are no fractures and to check his growth palates. The fireman, hospital, and doctors all told us the same thing that if it had been my 6 or 4 year old whose hand got stuck we would have been dealing with broken bones.now that this has happened to us i did a search on line and see that other people have had similar problems with the sliding doors on honda odyssey's all the way back to 2000. This is an issue that honda has gotten away with up until now.honda needs to take care of this issues that they know about and not sweep it under the rug.
I am getting a thud sound from the back of my 2007 odyssey mini van.we called honda and they said they have had several people come in with this. They found that there is a glazing that happens with the brakes and they said they have to grind the drums and it makes it go away for awhile.they said if the brake shoes are ok it would run about $200.00.this is crazy if they have a problem with the brakes other than wear and tear they should fix it for free.i have put two sets of brakes on this van since i bought it and i have never had brakes go so fast.i believe they have a very poor design.if i had not bought the extended warranty i would have been out 1000 of dollars with all the problem this 2007 honda has had.if i had it to do over again i would not buy another honda.the windshield whistles, the transmission part had to be replaced, the compressor melted, the battery went dead on a trip before a year was up. The bearings in the wheels went bad.the axle went bad. The right rear door motor went bad.the left rear door will open part way and shut.all in all honda has gone down hill.$37,000 and its a piece of junk.thank god other than the brakes the dealer has been very very good and has fixed everything at least once.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While the vehicle was parked with the air conditioner activated, hot air blew out of the air vents. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure was unable to be diagnosed. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a hole in the condenser and the condenser needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.

2007 honda odyssey - 3/28/09.noticed ac was not working.on 4/6/09 i took the vehicle to be inspected at the dealership where it was purchased.the service rep indicated it was a small hole in the condenser, most likely caused by a road hazard (rock), and not covered by the warranty.i paid for the $1060 repair.after the vehicle was repaired, i was told by coworkers it is a notorious design issue.this was confirmed by a quick visit to google. The dealership made no mention of the common occurrence. Hopefully with enough complaints, honda will be forced to admit there is a major problem and offer some form of help.please add me to the list of impacted owners. I instructed the service rep to move forward with repairs at 9:30am. By 2:30pm i was picking up the vehicle.$1060, with $516 of that for labor. If it's determined to be a limited problem, i have no issues; however, everything i read indicates a problem where significant owners are being affected.
Dealership claimedthat a stone caused a hole in theair conditioner (a/c) condenser hose in the front of the vehicle, thereby denying responsibility as a warranty item. The 2007 honda odyssey was only 3 months old and the a/c was blowing hot air.the repair costs $600.this wasa common problem that hondawas not addressing.
A/c compressor non-functional
Ac condenser failed on my 2006 honda odyssey at 19075 miles. Service claims road damage and charged over $600 to repair not covered by my extended warranty. This is a continuing problem with honda and should be covered by warranty.
In may 2008, just 9 months after driving my brand new 2007 honda odyssey off the showroom floor, my air conditioning went out. I took it back to the dealership where i had purchased the vehicle fully anticipating my factory warranty to cover the cost of the repair. After diagnosing the problem, i was told by the service department at the dealership that a rock had punctured the condenser causing the coolant to leak out. I was also told that this was deemed a ?freak accident? and an ?act of nature? and therefore was not a warranty.the total cost of the repair, including labor, was $780.00. I was informed by american honda that the only warrantable repairs are ?factory defects?. I examined the front of my van along the bottom and i discovered that my condenser sits right at the front of the vehicle, completely exposed. I investigated the matter further and discovered that in the next year's model, the 2008 odyssey, honda has gone in and added a grill over the condenser to protect it. I also discovered thousands of other odyssey owners who have experienced the exact same problem and were given the exact same regurgitate answer from their dealership and from american honda. This was not a freak accident, rather, it is a widespread problem on these vehicles caused by a defective design.
My 2007 honda odyssey's air conditioning stopped working, the van has only 11,000 miles on it. I took the van to the dealer for service and was told that a rock had hit the ac condenser and that it was not covered by warranty.i feel that their assessment of the root cause of the problem to be very subjective, just how do they know that a rock caused the problem with no visible damage..i was told the part would cost $800.00 and it would be ordered. I have since found out that this is a frequentproblem that is probably due to faulty design.i feel honda should be responsible for the cost of repairs and do a corrective action recall on this vehicle.
My ac quit working in my 2007 honda odyssey. This was in july, 2008 with only 13900 miles on the vehicle.i was told it was a hole in condenser, and not covered under warranty.the service advisor explained to me that it was because honda was making the grille wider to allow the engine to stay cooler.and that this was a freak thing.now, less than 1 year later, it's happened again!they won't fix it or discount it due to it being "road damage".iunderstand that now they are making them with grills for protection on the 2008 models and later.obviously they've realized it's a manufacturers defect.

I have a 2007 honda odyssey. Mileage is less than 10,000 miles. Air conditioning was blowing hot air. Took it to the honda dealership in roanoke, virginia, and was told that it looks like a rock had flown into the air conditioning condenser and punctured it. They would not cover it under warranty and said that i could make a claim under my auto insurance policy. Their charge to repair/replace is $700.
2007 odyssey with 13,000 miles, the ac suddenly quit working. Took it to the honda dealer and was informed that the condenser was hit by the road debris and caused the leakage.i was charged $790 to install a new condenser.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that there were damages to the condenser which would need replacing. The manufacturer was notified who advised that there were no recalls and offered no other assistance. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 41,000.
Honda odyssey 2007, air conditioning condensorw as prone to failure and failedafter 5 months.there were about 70 similar complaints posted on the internet here:p://www.topix.net/forum/autos/honda-odyssey/tjbopfur3svarkhcj/p3.
Our 2007 honda odyssey suddenly started blowing hot air out of the drivers side with the air conditioning on. We had recently had to replace the compressor, and thought that there was just a leak in a hose, we refilled the freon a few times before the weather cooled down and then left it alone for the winter. When i went to have it fixed last week, i found out there was a hole in the condenser, just like i had heard had happened to a lot of other 2007 odyssey owners. $970.00 later our air conditioning works, but there is nothing to stop this from happening again. Honda still isn't doing anything about this problem. They should at least offer to pay for a guard under the vehicle to prevent the problem from recurring.when you live in arizona like i do, this is a safety issue.
My complaint regarding my honda odyssey may be more of a manufacturer oversight that may not pose an immediate harm to its occupants/other drivers, but rather potential harm to its occupants other drivers. The problem is with the lights. The interior dash lights are on continuously, but the headlights only go on manually. While this is fine during the day, it poses the potential harm at night when the dash lights go on and they headlights do not. I live in a city and a few times at night while leaving a very lit area, i have failed to turn on my headlights because with the dashlights on i have forgotten. While these occurrences were my error, i feel that with car lighting it needs to be all or nothing. While the manufacturers may see this feature as a convenience i see it as a hazard. If the dash lights are on all of the time, then the headlights should be on. Driving without headlights on at night is hazardous to all around and as i said, i live in a city where it is brightly lit and many times the streets are so bright my headlights do not make that much of a difference for my lighting but rather just make me noticeable to others. I feel that this issue needs to be addressed and rectified. I know that other cars have an auto function, where the headlights can be left on all of the time to go on when it gets dark and this would be a safer feature than having them manually operated when the dash lights are on all of the time. Or they can make it so that the dash lights go on when the headlights are turned on. Like i said, with lights is needs to be all or nothing (all manual or all automatic, not half and half). It is just too confusing and in my case, likely to be forgotten. While this issue may not have caused harm yet, i do believe that it has sufficient potential to cause harm and therefore should be addressed. This is a failure on the manufacturers part to save money, but it has made a mini van (which is known for safety) to feel unsafe. Estimated date.
I have 2007 odyssey ex-l with dvd. The light in car like head and tail light, room light etc is blinking all the time even i drive my car. I already went to dealer ship two times, they just take a look at the battery during the day time and said everything looks fine. At night, my boy can't read a book in the car because of blinking. It looks the generator has problem.
My low beam headlight goes on and off intermittently. High beams work fine. After researching i found that honda has had low beam headlight recalls in the past. Is there any way to get help fixing this?

Both clear glass covers ["lenses"?] over the headlights have developed a spiderweb network of cracks, very thin, over the entire lens.the car was never hit.it occurred gradually over time.it is a safety issue, because it diminishes the light output, and leads oncoming traffic to at times flash ther headlights as if my brights are on.

My car is a 2007 odyseey and seatbelt light is on constant and will not go off,i guess my car was not included in takata seatbelt recall and now dealer wants a thousand dollars to fix even though it's a safety recall but not on my vin number and has not come up on my vehicle yet. My car is due for inspection next month and i just paid 2 thousand to fix everything else .and now it will not pass with light on.when will recall come up on my vehicle
We bought a used 2007 honda odyssey with 13,385 miles on it from southwest honda in amarillo texas. Our major buying point was thempg.the sticker showed us 19city/26highway.i know this can be off by a few miles and hence the tiny print that says it can be a low of 16/22. And boy would i be glad if i was getting 16!i do almost all of my driving in town and was really surprised the first time i had to already fill it up with just over 200 miles on it!i thought it was bad gas so tried it a couple more times with high octane gas and still the same.the van was at best getting 9mpg in town!( when we are on the highway it gets what the sticker says.)i even started to drive as carefully/slowly as possible to see if any changes and had none.we decided to drive 2 hours back to the dealership to have them check it out b/c something had to be wrong.since we didn't have any warning lights there was not a lot the mechanics said they could troubleshoot.they pretty much hooked up a machine and drove it around town.their machine said we got 12 to 13 mpg, still not what they claim it should be getting but at this point i would be happy with that! they said they checked the oil, fuel injectors , made sure we were putting the right kind of gas in.they printed off how to calculate mpg, which we already knew and sent us on our merry little way to the gas pumps!these car companies need to be held accountable for the estimated mpg and if a vehicle does not fall within those estimations the customer should at least be refunded the extra amount they are having to pay for gas.with gas prices going up there needs to be more accountability b/c this is the major reason people are buying different vehicles right now.who and what is making sure these mpg are not bogus so customers aren't getting taken advantage of.there needs to be customer protection on something like this.
While leaving campus parking lot, car stopped, can't restart it. Dealer say it's fuel pump false reading that leaves tank empty and charge me almost $1000 for replacing a new fuel pump.got recall letter from honda earlier re fuel pump leaks fire risk, and fix is pending further notice. Dealer says my case not apply to this recall. What i am complain here ~1. I am been ripe off by dealer's "twist definition" not applying to the same recall defect fuel pump and have to pay $1k extra for the same recall defect parts.2. What if this is happening on the highway, it's would be very dangerous and leads to a chain of accident. 3. Honda confined its fuel pump failure to certain area in order to reduce the recall lose, actual defective damage & safety hazard to consumers could be bigger.
Van has a constant tighten fuel cap warning on dash.mpg has dropped off.strong fuel odor in car when i fill tank.you can smell gas when you walk up to the car and it has been parked.

The vsa light check engine light and fuel light here and there keeps coming on i just had this vehicle for 4 years already i just had the engine oil leak fixed i changed oil every 6 months. Also had the alternator and starter changed as well as battery replaced. Is there any possibility the software on the vehicle needs to be updated?
Very strong gas smell
While accelerating onto freeway at approximately 45 mph the brakes fully engaged and engine power was lost while my foot was on the accelerator. Speed decreased by about 25mph in just a few seconds. With my foot still on the accelerator engine engaged again and we increased speed to about 45 mph, when the automatic transmission was going to shift into overdrive, the same incident occurred again!power was regained at the same speed about 25 mph. We speeded up to about 45 mph again and this time i looked at the brake pedal. The brakes fully engaged themselves again the brake pedal actually depressed while i had my foot on accelerator only!i then took the overdrive off and put the transmission in d3 mode. The incident didn't occur again while in d3 mode. I was left having to drive on freeway around 55mph scared for my and my families lives!this vehicle self engaged brakes fully three times, while my foot was on accelerated only!
Fuel leaking from the right rear of the car, one can watch it drip, and one can smell fuel. It seems to be particurlarly acute when fuel is almost full.
Was driving on a major highway with my family at 65-70 mph when all of a sudden i lost all power to my van. It was a very dangerous situation, i was lucky enough to coast to the right shoulder, i had the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership where they are now saying it is the fuel pump.there is a recall for the fuel pump (# 14e049000)&(gl14-004). But my vin# does not show a recall.what can i do?
I took the vehicle in for the fuel pump recall in july 2014. I don't drive the vehicle daily are much. A month or two later i filled the tank up and noticed the fuel gauge didn't go to "f", so i figured maybe it's not full, that happen two more times and still happening currently and i was not having this problem prior to the recall.the dealership wants me to pay $120.00 just for them to diagnosis the problem.i don't feel i should have to pay forthem to diagnosis a problem i wasn't having prior to the recall.i realize it's months later but i don't drive the vehicle daily or weekly to have to fill the tank up as often.

Takata recall, i took my go to walmart to change the engine oil and filter and the guy that changed, notice that the tank was leaking fuel from the top of the tank, i have let me know what was happening so, i decided to took the go with my mechanic. I used a camera to see on the very top of the tank and i saw the fuel leak coming from the top inside of the tank, he said it comes from the pump fuel system, so i see why my full tank doesn't get me the miles that it suppose to getby gallon. That's why we always notice the van that smells like gas and parking whenwe can see the gas on the floor. I was thinking it was water coming that from the air condition. . i'm worry about the combination of heat and gas that can cause fire. I live in texas and here the tempeture is really hot.
Main fuel line, leak in engine compartment. Steel fuel line rubbercoated , steel had rested allowing raw gas leak. Major fire hasert. Strong gas fumes started coming into cabin when the blower was put on, while driving on street.
Two separate instances have occurred, both at slow speeds, around 5 mph, my van suddenly accelerated, and after putting it in neutral and punching the pedal down, it returned to normal rpms. A little unsettling, especially if the driver panics.

Driving very slowly uphill in a hospital parking deck, the principal driver of the car turned into an available parking slot applying some gas, from 25-30 feet away, only to have the vehicle accelerate uncontrollably, even with the driver's right foot fully engaged with the brake pedal. The van jumped over parking blocks at the end of the space and struck a concrete post, whereupon the engine compartment crumpled and the airbags engaged. The van bounced back approximately twenty feet. Witnesses attracted by the sound of squealing tires, revving engine noise (before impact)and the subsequent crash itself came to render assistance and call police. The driver's right's foot was severely bruised by the crash impact and her sternum fractured. The vehicle was a declared total loss.

My complaint regarding my honda odyssey may be more of a manufacturer oversight that may not pose an immediate harm to its occupants/other drivers, but rather potential harm to its occupants other drivers. The problem is with the lights. The interior dash lights are on continuously, but the headlights only go on manually. While this is fine during the day, it poses the potential harm at night when the dash lights go on and they headlights do not. I live in a city and a few times at night while leaving a very lit area, i have failed to turn on my headlights because with the dashlights on i have forgotten. While these occurrences were my error, i feel that with car lighting it needs to be all or nothing. While the manufacturers may see this feature as a convenience i see it as a hazard. If the dash lights are on all of the time, then the headlights should be on. Driving without headlights on at night is hazardous to all around and as i said, i live in a city where it is brightly lit and many times the streets are so bright my headlights do not make that much of a difference for my lighting but rather just make me noticeable to others. I feel that this issue needs to be addressed and rectified. I know that other cars have an auto function, where the headlights can be left on all of the time to go on when it gets dark and this would be a safer feature than having them manually operated when the dash lights are on all of the time. Or they can make it so that the dash lights go on when the headlights are turned on. Like i said, with lights is needs to be all or nothing (all manual or all automatic, not half and half). It is just too confusing and in my case, likely to be forgotten. While this issue may not have caused harm yet, i do believe that it has sufficient potential to cause harm and therefore should be addressed. This is a failure on the manufacturers part to save money, but it has made a mini van (which is known for safety) to feel unsafe. Estimated date.
I have 2007 odyssey ex-l with dvd. The light in car like head and tail light, room light etc is blinking all the time even i drive my car.

It looks the generator has problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that left side sliding door and the right front passenger door failed to unlock intermittently. She had to climb over to the other side or turn off the vehicle and restart it to get out the vehicle. Additionally, she noticed repeated problems with the steering; the vehicle would not hold an alignment and would drift to the side. Also, periodically, there was a grinding noise when she attempted to stop, as if she were driving on gravel.

The driver's side lock actuator began to malfunction causing the doors to lock automatically and failing to unlock with remote.the only way to unlock the vehicle is to manually unlock with the key and the only way to fully lock the vehicle is to push down on driver's side lock button (on superior portion of door).this failure resulted in my two small children being locked inside a vehicle with the keys inside.at the time, they were too young to unbuckle themselves and get out of the vehicle.the problem began in the middle of the summer when temperatures inside a vehicle are dangerously high.we were told the repair would be approximately $400. In addition to the initial locking of the vehicle, it has posed additional safety hazards as people must wait on driver to manually open door, or to lock door.security has been greatly affected.it is difficult to corral children while trying to unlock vehicle as well as posing security issues when in unsavory areas of town.as we understand, this has happened on a number of honda vehicle models.

2007 honda odyssey.rear brake cables flex while turning causing loud audible sound from rear of vehicle.honda at first claimed this is normal, but also stated there is no known correction for the issue at this time.obviously a design defect for honda has not figured out a way to fix.cable brake issue would and does, cause me great concern especially if there is no known fix.
While traveling down the highway, our transmission stopped working.we had it towed to the local honda shop and the confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced and it would cost aprox. $5,800.00. 37 months ago honda replaced the transmission the 1st time because of a recall.when we spoke to honda, they told us they did not warranty recalls.so, now our primary source of transportation for our family is now worth $500.00.we think honda either replaced the recalled transmission with an inferior product to save money, or used the same recalled transmission to replace our factory transmission.if we had known there was no warranty on recalled repairs, we would have done things differently.
Unusual shifts between 30-45 mph.seems like transmission is "hunting" for gear.when going downhill and brake is applied a noticeable downshift is felt.first time this was observed was on winding and hilly roads.assumed it was the "eco" kicking in/out or the transmission simply downshifting.
Purchased this honda new in december 2006.no problems with it till this incident.both back wheels started making terrible noises.a grinding and screeching sound at all speeds.i asked a few friends who have the same vehicle and they said they had to replace both rear bearings on their vehicle.i took the vehicle to the honda dealer and that is exactly what it was.both rear bearings.i can hardly imagine one bearing going bad on a modern vehicle.both bearings tells me something is wrong with the product.i believe this could be a significant and dangerous problem for all honda odyssey's on the road.it is clearly a defective rear bearing.i contacted honda regarding this and the representative i spoke with said there was currently no recall regarding this.they were very polite and pleasant to deal with.i expressed my concern, but feel that effort was inadequate.i also searched for this issue on a couple of automobile forums online.i found hundreds of references to this issue.so i do not believe it is an isolated incident.thank you for ensuring that our roads and the vehicles we drive remain safe!please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Bought the 2007 odyssey ex-l res nav new in 2007, did not notice the 40~50mph judder during the 10 minutes test drive. I did notice that while driving it back home, but that was too late and the money was with the dealer already. Brought it back to the dealer and they said it was normal, even though you can find lots of complaints from internet. I should have done more research before i made this purchase. Too much penalty to trade in for others. From that on, i just avoid that speed range as much as i could. After dealer updated the transmission code last year, the vibration still exists and just slightly improved. But the down shift is kind of rough when cruising to slow down. Sometimes it even stuck at unexpected low gear when driving on a down hill while gas is off. Even though i only have 38k miles on it so far, but worry it might not last long enough to worth the money i paid. Any way, i just told all my friends go get a "toyota sienna" and definitely not honda odyssey. Honda/acura have lots of transmission issues and they need to recall all those cars. This is the first and last honda for me, no more honda ....!
I own a 2007 honda odysseyex-l.last may, i received two separate recall notices for pcm update for lock-up clutch function and for low and soft brake pedal.there was a delay in taking my van to a dealer because i was on a military deployment. My deployment ended last month and that's when i took my van to get service (recalls). A month had past since i took my van for the recall but the break problem still persist and i think it's getting worst.the breaks is very soft and the pedal is very low when i step on it.sometimes i have to pump my brakes twice just to feel the brake. I sent honda customer service a letter requesting another authorization to have my brakes check and service again.honda's solution to fix the problem did not work.the honda dealer bled, seal and cap the brake system on my van but it did not solve the problem. This issue should be look at again before someone gets hurt or lose their lives.
While traveling on flat, level surface streets at roughly 40mph, car would spontaneously downshift (to 1st gear?) causing the vehicle to slow very quickly/lots of drag (locking up seatbelts) as if the brakes were applied quickly.the vehicle will then reshift back into a higher gear with little to no resistance again. This may happen 1-4 times within a 60 second period.pulling the car over, turning off and turning on again seems to fix issue.shifting into second gear, seemed to fix issue.shifting into neutral, power cycling car seemed to fix issue.over the last 6 months or so, this has happened ~2x month.

I was driving to a supermarket, i pulled into parking lot and then i saw a lot of smoke coming under the hood, i had my three children inside the car and in minutes my car was totaled completely burned.

About 3 months after i purchased the brand new, 2007, honda odyssey i noticed a reluctant feeling when i drove it.even when i drove it around town for everyday errands or if needed to take long trips i still felt like my car was fighting me.each time i brought my car in i would ask them to look the car over for a problem that would convey why i was having this bucking feeling.my first documented complaint was in april of 2008.they stated they could not find anything.my second complaint was october of 2008 stating the vehicle hesitates.everytime i took it in to dch kay honda in old bridge where we purchased the car they found nothing.it was not until my brother drove in my car in the winter of 2009, when he said there is something wrong with my transmission that i should take it to a transmission dealer and get it checked.i knew that if an independent transmission dealer looked at it or took it apart my warranty would be void so i found one who took it for a road test and stated that the transmission is slipping down to 4th and some how jumping into 5th automatically.after this i took it to dch kay honda in eatontown and stated what was found out in feb. Of 2009.they said again they could not find anything.i still have a reluctant feeling when i am driving the car but feel as though my time is being wasted by running back and forth to these dealers.i not only loose time, money but my car while either waiting for it or being without at home.
I am getting a thud sound from the back of my 2007 odyssey mini van.we called honda and they said they have had several people come in with this. They found that there is a glazing that happens with the brakes and they said they have to grind the drums and it makes it go away for awhile.they said if the brake shoes are ok it would run about $200.00.this is crazy if they have a problem with the brakes other than wear and tear they should fix it for free.i have put two sets of brakes on this van since i bought it and i have never had brakes go so fast.i believe they have a very poor design.if i had not bought the extended warranty i would have been out 1000 of dollars with all the problem this 2007 honda has had.if i had it to do over again i would not buy another honda.the windshield whistles, the transmission part had to be replaced, the compressor melted, the battery went dead on a trip before a year was up. The bearings in the wheels went bad.the axle went bad. The right rear door motor went bad.the left rear door will open part way and shut.all in all honda has gone down hill.$37,000 and its a piece of junk.thank god other than the brakes the dealer has been very very good and has fixed everything at least once.
A transmission judder is felt while driving between 20-45 mph and i did receive a safety recall notice from honda automobile division regarding that subject upon which i scheduled an appointment with an authorized dealer to fix the problem but he has failed to remedy the defect in my vehicle and the vehicle is still defected.
Like many others i have a torque convertor issue at 122k miles.the cost to replace the convertor was 2300 dollars , needless to say i'm outraged.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. When the vehicle was shifted into park, the vehicle still moved. The failure was intermittent and occurred without warning.

The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 130,917.
Car hesitates on downshift at 40 and 20 mph.on 6/26/11 i brought car into local honda dealer to have a manufacturer product update addressed that was targeting this transmission judder issue.dealer performed a software update which proved to be ineffective.on 9/7/11 i went back to the dealer to have them check the software update again since the transmission judder was still present.the dealer told me that they would charge me $115 to look at the car, not including cost of any repairs. Since honda's product update notification indicated this update should be free of charge and the dealer was intending to charge me, i left the dealership in anger without having them look at the car.on 11/19/11 i brought car back in because the issue was still present and agreed to pay their diagnosis fee of $115.they recognized the problem and flushed the transmission fluid to try to resolve.on 12/17/11 the issue was still not corrected so i brought the car in again.the dealer recognized that there was a problem but said it was "slight" and that i should continue to drive the car until the problem became more pronounced.this, despite the fact that honda's documentation says driving the car without having this issue fixed could damage the transmission.honda's product update letter to the dealer indicated torque converter should be replaced if software update wasn't effective, but the dealer refused to do that.12/19/11 i brought the car in again out of dissatisfaction with the conclusion of the 12/17/11 visit.dealer again attempted a software update, which again proved to be ineffective.on 2/6/12, i contacted american honda to explain the history.i am now being asked to pay for part of this repair, which would have been free of charge to me had the dealer addressed it during one of my initial visits. I don't feel i should incur any cost for this update.
When traveling at 30 to 40 mph and you let off gas pedal, trans downshifts. Sometimes a shudder at highway speeds.picked speed control because transmission was not an option.
Transmission shifting problems on 2007 honda odyssey.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle violently shook while changing gears. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.
Tl-the contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, the entire instrument panel warning indicators remained illuminated. In addition, the transmission began to slip gears with slight hesitation. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Js
Transmission shutters in all gears while on the throttle. Usually speeds between 20-50 mph...vehicle has been to honda. They are aware of the issue but has no fix for the problem.
2002 honda odyssey.consumer writes in regards to faulty transmission in vehicle.the consumer stated she was driving down the highway, when suddenly, it felt as though the vehicle had jerked out of gear or if the brake had been applied.the consumer stated she recently drove the vehicle, and the tcs and check engine lights illuminated and the vehicle started jerking again.
Vehicle shudders at low speeds when downshifting.upshifting at low speeds (25 mph) it also shudders as it "hunts" for a gear. At highway speeds transmission shudders shifting into overdrive and when the variable cylinder management (vcm) system switches on or off.there is an intermittent steering wheel shake at 70 mph which seems to be related.
Transmission juddering and hesitates between 30mph-50mph. This has become a very dangerous situation when entering the highway or making maneuvers that requires a quick increase in speed. The hesitation and juddering creates a very large vibration through the entire minivan.our odyssey has had two software updates and it appears the torque converter will need to be replaced next. This issue has been happening since it had 5,000 miles. We complained about this issue at the 10k service, however, the dealer said that the issue was probably fuel related.however, one service manager at a local honda dealership told us it is most likely a transmission issue and there was no known fix for it at the time. Since then honda has identified two software updates that are required to correct the problem and if this does not fix the problem the torque converter will need to be replaced next. What we have also been told is that if the torque converter has been bad for a long period of time it will start putting out metal shavings that will get into the gears of the transmission, which will eventually damage the transmission. However, honda will not cover a new transmission unless it can be proven that the transmission is damaged, this is very difficult to do unless the transmission is truly showing signs of failure or enough oil shavings can be found in the transmission oil. It seems that the consensus is that odysseys with this problem will most likely have a shorten life span of their transmission. We have less than 40,000 miles on our odyssey. My opinion is honda is trying patch a problem that requires major surgery with band aids, hoping they can get beyond their required responsibility under the powertrain warranty.i guess until someone gets hurt or killed, this will not be taken seriously. This is a shame we have owned a honda or acura for the last twenty years and their reputation has been excellent.
2007 odyssey, bought on 18 jan 2010 from dch academy honda, old bridge, nj as a used vehicle. On the same week reported that there is problem in transmission. When accelerating at 40mph to 50mph, there a vibration observed constantly and transmission is getting locked at 1.5rpm and not getting accelerating. When it got reported to used car department, mechanic was keep on saying that it is intended behavior while accelerating and because of big vehicle. I was not agreed and concern was passed on to the service manager in service department. Service manager after going through the test drive and service bulletins, he is told that there need to be software upgrade needed to solve this problem. Software upgrade is performed on this vehicle. Now the vibration is little bit reduced, but the problem is still exists. Again i had an appointment for test drive and there were two service managers tested this vehicle and after regressive test along with them, they agreed that vibration at 40-50mph speed and 1.5-2rpm torque. Now they said there is a problem with torque converter in automatic transmission and need to be replaced after getting the part from honda.i am not totally confident that replacement of torque converter can solve this problem. They are just making some patch to temporarily mask the main problem in transmission. It will cost me more once my power train warranty gets expired.this problem may cause failure of transmission and may cause accident at run time.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. In march 2009, she noticed a noise around the wheel. She took the vehicle to the dealer and the left wheel bearing was repaired. In december 2009, she noticed the same sound along with a transmission issue which she noted as difficulty shifting. She stated that at low speeds, she actually lost power steering capabilities and had difficulty turning. She took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the power steering pump was defective; the torque converter was replaced as well in reference to the issue with the transmission. The repair did not remedy the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired to-date for the power steering problem. The manufacturer stated that they would assist with the transmission repairs sinceit was still under warranty; however, they refused to repair the power steering at no charge. They offered her 25% off the repair costs. The current mileage was approximately 59,000. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000. Updated 02/13/10 updated 02/16/10.updated 02/18/10.
My 2007 odyssey has been slipping on inclines when i take my foot off the brake or go from r to d.initially the slipping was a couple of inches and was denied as defect by dealership. Now the car slips a foot or more. Last year i was stopped in sf and when i hit the accelerator, i rolled back into the car behind me despite my flooring the gas.i have recently almost rolled into the door of a parked car with a child standing by the parked car while backing up on an incline.dealership states it is known defect and will not fix.i am afraid of rolling into another car, child etc. Honda corporate says it is part of the car and will not fix, but will not provide me with documentation of this "known defect". I have also had to replace my tires yearly and replace my front brakes after 18 months.my condenser on my a/c also froze up this week in 110 heat with my 4 small kids in the car and my son had an asthma attack.
2007 honda odyssey ex-l-transmission is shuddering while driving at 30-40 mph.the problem seems to happen when i slow down then press on the gas again.it feels like i am driving over railroad tracks.i also noticed that it happened today for the first time at 55 mph.i also notice that the car "pulls" back slightly when i am driving at higher speeds--it feels like i am letting my foot off the gas pedal, but i am not.i took the van into a honda dealership on may 8, 2010.they updated the software and said that the van was running fine, but it is still giving me problems.i will be taking it back to honda of serramonte in daly city, ca on may 22, 2010.i am not happy--the power train warranty expires at 60, 000 miles--van has 57,600 miles.i hope honda will take care of my problems before my warranty expires!
I have a 2007 honda odyssey with 34k and major transmission problems. I have taken this vehicle 5 times to get fix and the problem is still there. Im afraid to go on long trips with the family. I have a new born and a 4 yr old and don't want to be broken down in the middle of the road. I paid $25,000 for this unreliable vehicle. Honda told me they are aware of a transmission problem but no recall. I really hope this problem gets fixed. Honda odysseys have a history of transmission failure.
Extreme pressure had to be applied to the brakes, in order to get the vehicle to slow down on a downhill road at the same time the clutch shuddered, it not only shuddered, but it made the entire vehicle shake and rattle as if it were falling apart. Scared to take the vehicle on long run. Also vehicle shakes sometimes during normal braking action.
We had owned a 2007 odyssey for one week when we noticed judder upon normal acceleration.also we felt unusually hard transmission shifts when slowing.vehicle has 59,000 miles.very poor gas mileage. Took it to a honda dealership which confirmed the above symptoms and replaced the torque converter.after torque converter replacement, problem persists.
I bought my odyssey (certified pre-owned) with only 11,000 miles and 11 months of use of the local authorized dealership. After 3 months i started to feel a delay when shifting from any gear to drive. But it only does it when the vehicle is warm. The only local honda service station acknowledges the fault, but they keep telling me that it is a normal symptom of an honda vehicle. Until today i keep fighting with them because, i have taken the vehicles to other certified honda technicians, and they all agree that there is a problem in the transmission with the lubricating process.
When i go from reverse to drive there is a delay before the clutch engages.the vehicle will roll during this time while the engine revs before the clutch engages.

The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While stopped at a red light she attempted to move out of the way to allow a police vehicle to pass, the engine began to idle roughly and the vehicle proceeded to accelerate. She then attempted to depress the brake pedal very hard before stopping the vehicle. On a separate occasion, while exiting the highway, she began depressing the brake to merge out of traffic at speeds of less than 15 mph, the vehicle began to accelerate at full speed. The contact continued to apply extreme pressure to the brakes and the vehicle proceeded over the median onto the grass. She was able to stop the vehicle and avoid a collision. The dealer reprogrammed the transmission sensor and advised the failure should not occur again. There were no further incidents thereafter.the failure and current mileages were under 30,000.
Very hard transmission downshift upon slowing the van.after downshift the van has a sharp jerk and seems to have to catch the transmission before going into a lower gear.transmission has been replaced twice since purchased new an may 28, 2007. Now dealer and honda factory service rep is saying this is a "normal characteristic" of this van, even after replacing the transmission twice for the same issue.the first new transmission was at 3321 miles and second was at 12,281 miles.brakes:sloppy and weak brakes since purchase.rotors turned and pad replaced at 166 miles, three days after buying new.still soft and vibrating upon stopping.dealer says this is also normal. Between the transmission and brake problems, we do not feel that this is a safe van for our children to ride in. American honda has been more than uncooperative.there is a very dangerous defect with this van and we are afraid to drive it.
Random missed shifts and engine revving. Which would follow with various vibrations, skipping of the transmission, lost of power, and a sudden drop to a lower gear at high speeds.
Transmission issues with my 2007 honda odyssey.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle made a loud noise.the transmission was replaced twice within six months.when attempting to stop the vehicle, it skips from first to third gear, causing the vehicle to lunge forward.the contact noticed that when applying pressure to the brake pedal, the pedal extends all the way down to the floor and causes the vehicle to vibrate excessively.as a result, the stopping distance is increased.she took the vehicle back to the dealer and they replaced the brake rotor, which did not remedy the failure.the manufacturer did not assist.the failure mileage was 1,500.
Transmission does not shift smoothly, especially when coming to a stop you can feel and hear the transmission down shifting.first we could feel the engine jutter between 35 - 40 mph when upshifting.dealer said it needed a software upgrade.we got the software upgrade - made it worse.they then said it needed a new torque converter.the new torque converter fixed the juttering, now the downshifting is not smooth.we took it to the dealer again and they are telling us it's fine.i've spoken to a mechanic and he mentioned that he has heard a lot of complaints regarding the odyssey's transmission.
2007 honda odyssey.full transmission replaced after only approximately 27,000 miles.i now have approximately 33,500 miles and same problem with transmission has begun.noticeable flutter at approximately 35 mph and a serious shifting downgrade at 20 mph when foot is off accelerator.was told by dealer they would update computer and if that doesn't work then they would most likely have to replace the torque conversion.
2007 honda odyssey that has a transmission shudder. Had 2 manufacture software updates done and the recommend replacement of the torque converter. Very unstable at maintaining speed at 25-45 mph and at highway cruising speeds. Wet roads and rainy conditions make the problems vary dangerous in trying to keep road traction and control of vehicle.
Honda odyssey transmission failed (torque needs replacement). If this is not replaced in time then it may fail whole transmission. While driving (when changing gear - auto) it shakes the van like crazy. Imagine on the highway while driving all of a sudden it fails and throws the van to complete stop or in different lane. The car/truck behind me may run over me. When i ask the dealer to have it replaced as it is under warranty he gives us excuses to delay and have the 60000 miles markup to pass. We are some 200 miles left before the warranty expires. He says we can drive it is okay. But i do not believe the dealer. When i asked can you guarantee that nothing will happen while driving his reply was a big smile. I also asked to give us the warranty after they replace the transmission on the honda parts - he denies, saying i have to buy the extended warranty.

Honda odyssey 2007vibration and rpm change at around 45 mph.
Transmission shudder persists after three software updates and torque converter replacement. Warranty expires at 60k, currently at 57k. Dealer has expressed frustration in dealing with honda of america in finding a resolution to the problem. Before torque converter was replaced the dealer had to take a "snapshot" of the rpm difference between the engine and transmission. After torque converter replacement and third software update the difference is greater. Hoa now states therpm difference is within normal range. When asked why the lesser amount reported before was enough to warrant a replacement of torque converter and now no further service is needed, hoa had no answer.

Failure of transmission due to (in dealer's words) "a crack or porous metal casing."this is at least the third repair of the transmission. Two previous episodes of transmission fluid leakage were deemed by the dealer "caused by a loose bolt."the first time shortly after vehicle delivery bolt was tighten, second time bolt was tighten and set with lock tight which required overnight stay at dealer service center.third time, entire transmission is being replaced- being covered under dealer supplied powertrain warranty with a $25 deductible.
I noticed the vibration on our honda odyssey about 2 months ago. Then a month ago, had our prepaid service done and asked them to check the vibration and they said it's normal. Then after that i received a recall notice for the vibration and that the van needed a computer update. So had that done 3 days ago (6/27/11) and still vibrated. Brought it back again today (6/30/11), told them it needed a new torque converter and if they can check the motor mounts and they said it needed new tires and a computer update again to fix the problem. So, did that and still had the vibration issue. I am so frustrated and angry. So i brought it back after driving it for about 1 mile and told them again, that it's not fixed. So now i'm seeking some sort of assistance and compensation for all the time and money wasted..thanks

My daughter & her friend were in an auto accident. The friend was in the passenger seat. Upon impact, the seat belt mechanism apparently broke and did not keep the passenger from being thrust forward & having impact with the vehicle resulting in a concussion.
We had rarely used our third seat, when i noticed that the third seat, passenger-side seat belt had a rip in it. It came unthreaded straight across the belt.at first i thought it was our dog; however a large breed dog could not have chewed straight across the seatbelt and there were no other dog teeth marks on the belt.but, i repaired it thinking that it was my dog and the dog was banned from the car. However, we have continued to have the same problem with this belt. With the seatbelt rarely being used, once a new seatbelt is installed, it begins to fray and becomes unthreaded straight across the belt and then comes completely apart. Sometimes the fraying has been above the cover and exposed, but on several occasions the fraying began in the part of the seatbelt that is covered and inaccessible to anyone. I have had at least 5 new seatbelts and this has happened to each one. In one case, a new seatbelt was installed and without ever being used, this still occurred.once the new seatbelt was installed, i checked the seatbelt daily, and 7 days after the new one was installed, it began to fray again and then it completely separately.the dealership continues to blame the user, although these seatbelts were never or rarely used. This went on for over two years. I have not had a working seatbelt in that seat for over one year. Now, this past week, a seatbelt that is used daily had the same problem.there is fraying across the seatbelt and it has become unusable.we can't even pull the seatbelt because the frayed area gets caught in the top shoulder mechanism.

This seat belt is 3rd row drivers side. Until 2 years ago this belt was used less than once a year. With the addition of a third grand child it was necessary to use the third row seating, using the drivers side seat. The 7 year old sat there about 3 times a month an hour each time for 1 year. With no booster seat. A year ago we put the 4 year old in that seat as she only needed a booster seat and was quite capable of buckling herself in. The amount of usage did not change. The damage starts 1 millimeter outside of the upper anchor slide and goes for about 18 inches of belt that pulls through the upper anchor slide. It really does not pull across anything else.i have examined the other belts and only the drivers belt shows an extremely small amount of wear in exactly the same area; the lower edge of the belt that first pulls through the upper anchor slide. I cannot even find any parts of the belt that have disintegrated. Laying around below the belt..on 6/17/2017 the 4 year old climbed into the seat.she told me it was broke.i was shocked,when i examined the belt at the condition of the belt.
I received a recall notice relating to faulty vsa system in honda odysseys. My vehicle was totalled as a result of a single driver accident that occured on ct-15 merrit parkway in january 2011. It snowed that day in connecticut although there was no visible snow on the highway when this happened and at a particular turn, the vehicle skidded (no break was applied), and after trying to control through turning the steering hit the road divider barricades facing forward and then sideways resulting into damage to radiator system and activating all air bags. I spoke with honda representative today who advises that they cannot assist me further because vehicle is not available for inspection and they cannot therefore confirm or denywhether the issue was caused due to this matter. My request to speak to the supervisor was declined. I do not feel that my concerns were adequately addressed.

We have a 2007 honda odyssey with 76,000 miles. In december 2012 we had been driving for approximately 3-4 minutes, exiting onto the highway and accelerating to reach 65 miles per hour. When we reached approximately 55-60 mph and were still accelerating the car spontaneously applied the brakes for approximately 3 seconds, lurching us forward. We stopped accelerating and began to pull over. It again spontaneously braked as we were slowing down. We attempted to drive slowly along the side of the road, to get to the next exit, and it happened again. Once we were finally able to stop in a safe place we turned off the car. We turned the car back on and it did not do it again. We took the car to the dealer and they only found one code - the steering sensor. They re-calibrated it but were not convinced that was the problem. Sure enough, approximately two months later the same thing happened. We were not going quite as fast and it did not lurch quite as severe. After it did this three times i was at a stop light and pushed the switch to turn the vsa off. It did not occur again. Took it to the dealer and they found no codes. They drove 17 miles and could not duplicate the problem. The weather conditions both times were approximately 30-40 degrees with some snow or wetness on the ground from prior precipitation. The dealer continues to say there is no problem because it shows no code and they can't replicate the problem. Manufacture was contacted and they instructed dealer to drive again and try to duplicate. They deny any other incidents documented (despite listings on this website that say they have been notified of the same problem.)
When i am driving my van at about 65 and above and when i hit the brake the steering wheel starts to vibrate very badly. This does not happen i am driving at less than 60 mph. Every time this happens, i feel like i might crash into other vehicles or run off the road due to the vehicle becoming very unstable. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership several times but they test drive it and say that there is no issues.
I was driving normal not on highway at 45 mph, the van all the sudden applies the brake by itself on all four brakes, reducing the speed to 15 mph, while i did not engage brake at all, the almost caused an accident for the car behind me, there was very light traffic, and i was wondering what is going on..the brake then disengage by itself completely within seconds, please do investigate as i have seen this myselftimes and people are discussing same symptom in the forum.
Accelerating down hwy after making u-turn when vehicle suddenly slows down as if slamming on brakes-it did this a second time approximately one minute later. Vsa light turned on approximately 10 minutes later than 2nd sudden slowdown.
Brake feels spongywhenyougoonthebrake .frontwheelssometimeslocksup. Brake fluidleveldrops in brake fluid reservoir no signsof leaks
When the incident first occurred the vibrating was not as severe. Now when i am going at over 50mph and i start braking, the car's steering wheel starts shaking violently. I did some research and found that the rotors are warped prematurely.many other owners of the same car have the issue. I am afraid of getting into a car accident because of the steering wheel shaking so violently while i am driving. Its a very big safety concern for me and i wish that honda recalls these cars for this problem.
Driving 45 miles per hour and the brakes suddenly went on very hard but not in a skid. Every one was thrown forward into their seatbelts. The car behind nearly crashed into us. I put 4-way flashers on and went slower - 35-40mph and it happened again. It happened a third time going slower yet. I turned the car off at a store and when we started off again it did not happen again the rest of the way home. How can this dangerous honda malfunction be fixed? thanks
A vsa with a triangle warning sign is on in my dashboard, i scare the abs brakes will not work properly and it doesn't work the vsa switch on the left side of the dash neither to switch on or off, i check tires and looks ok the pressure of each, is any recall about this problem with this honda odissey '07?
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the brakes erroneously engaged and the vsa warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that the failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.
Any time i am driving at a relatively high speed (45+) going downhill and need to brake, the vehicle vibrates significantly. I looked this up and it appears to be a very common issue with honda odysseys -- warped rotors, and not due to overuse or highmiles. My honda actually has pretty low miles. It is very concerning when i'm driving with my family in the mountains and feel like i almost don't have control of the car since it shakes so much. There should be a recall since this is easily a $500-1000 fix. As for the date below, it's been happening for years, so i just put in the most recent date. We camped last weekend and it happened yet again. Finally prompted me to file a complaint...
Tl- the contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph the brakes became inoperable.

Brake fluid is dropping in the reservoir and no signs of leaking brake fluid
While accelerating onto freeway at approximately 45 mph the brakes fully engaged and engine power was lost while my foot was on the accelerator. Speed decreased by about 25mph in just a few seconds. With my foot still on the accelerator engine engaged again and we increased speed to about 45 mph, when the automatic transmission was going to shift into overdrive, the same incident occurred again!power was regained at the same speed about 25 mph. We speeded up to about 45 mph again and this time i looked at the brake pedal. The brakes fully engaged themselves again the brake pedal actually depressed while i had my foot on accelerator only!i then took the overdrive off and put the transmission in d3 mode. The incident didn't occur again while in d3 mode. I was left having to drive on freeway around 55mph scared for my and my families lives!this vehicle self engaged brakes fully three times, while my foot was on accelerated only!

"takata recall" my van has long braking response since i bought it, i've changed all rotors and pads, bled the system, and the brake is still soft, i check online, and there are a lot of people having the same problem
Approx 10/2/13 was driving on a road i travel frequently and was accelerating when suddenly my car lost power and slowed rapidly.i thought it was a fluke then on 10/11/13 i was driving a road i travel on daily when suddenly my car slowed by about 30 mph in just a few seconds.i put my foot on the brake and realized it was already engaged and was why i was slowing down.10/16/13 - car went to dealer to be repaired.dealer found source codes dtc 26-1 lateral acc sensor, and dtc 27-1 steering angle sensor but could not replicate and told me they did not know what the fix was.10/17/13 - was driving on the same road as on 10/11 - clanging/grating sound in steering column and then brakes engaged, was accelerating slowly prior to this.slowed down almost to a stop, then slowly accelerated again. Within a quarter of a mile it happened again (was driving slower at this time b/c i was worried it would happen again), this time the triangle w/ the exclamation point on it flickered (this is the first time it came on, all other times no lights or anything).taking it back to dealer tomorrow but unless it happens to them was told there was nothing they could do. Repeatedly told them of the investigation but they said they don't know the fix.thankfully no one was behind me during these occurrences but if they had there would have been an accident due to how fast the car decelerated.

Soft low brake peddle unsafe to drive
The car seems to brake very suddenly by about 20 miles per hour. This happens without touching the brakes. This is the 10th time it has happened on the car since 2009.
Vsa light is on and having problems breaking. As well as not wanting shift past gear 3 or go more than 20mph.
I have had 2 brake recalls on my 2007 honda odyssey. During my last visit to a honda auto center they changed the brake master cylinder and upon a "visual" inspection advised me that my brake pads were at 3mm each which is sufficient.i know for a fact this was wrong because my car mechanic advised me that i needed new brake pads.i believe that the 2 recalls for different brake issues have compromised my brake performance and prematurely deteriorated my brakes.i also feel that it is a huge safety concern to tell someone that their brakes are fine when they are clearly not!
A day afterand going forward from purchasing my 2007 honda odyssey ex-l soft brake, pedal going all the way to ground before stopping when driving 5 to 55 mph.martin main line honda service representative said this is normal.i disagree.i am concern with my safety and others who will be in the van with me.
Have had extensive issues from honda of america and local dealerships regarding the status of the odyssey's safety. This van has had issues since new that honda has consistently attempted to avoid dealing with. Vehicle at low speeds has suddenly heavy and troublesome steering affected steering response and vehicle direction when turning.brake pedal feel when slowing in any forward/reverse direction is unresponsive increasing stopping distance and affecting emergency maneuvers. Dealership/ honda has not and will not accept liability!
My back passengerdoor been acting up since i bought my 2007 honda odyssey i will hit the button to open the passengerback door it will start opening and all a sudden it will just start shuttingon peoplei have to hit the button to stop it from shutting on people and when my fuelget down to a quarter of a tank my fuel pump start making a weird sound until i fill my tank up with fuel then when it get low again it start making the sound again and i have had my 2007 honda odyssey for a little over a year now and i have already change my brakes 3 times already and change my rotors once
Was driving at approximately 40 mph at a steady speed when the car suddenly slowed down as if the brakes had been hit hard. Only lasted for about 1 second.this recurred again within a few minutes, this time while accelerating.hasn't happened again.
Brakes feel spongy and require excessive pressure to stop. Had brakes bled and fluid flushed. Initially the brakes felt better but within a few days, they began to feel spongy again.
I was driving out in the country, i was going around 40mphs when the car felt like an emergency brake was pulled up. The car braked very quickly from 40 to about 5 -10mphs. I stopped ,tested the brakes and began to go again very slowly. After driving a few mins slowly i began to go faster when i hit about 35 mph it rapidly brake again. At this point i was very scared, my kids thought i hit a animal. So i decided to stop, by the time i was able to find a road to pull over onto it repeated it 3 more times only going about 10-15 mph. I had the van towed to my mechanic. He could not find a problem so we had it towed to priority honda in chesapeake, va to have testing done. If this would have happened 24 hrs earlier i was traveling from richmond, va and i would have cause a crash. I will not drive this vehicle until this is resolved. It was very scary and felt that it had put my children along with myself in grave danger.
When going fast speeds 50mph + and then braking the vehicle shakes as if your going to flip and lose control. I can stop at a slow pace and it still shakes controllably. The rotors are warped so bad and shouldnt be doing this. This is very unsafe..
Brake peddle has excessive travel almost touches the flood when applying brakes
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While driving 20 mph, the brake pedal malfunctioned and traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (tom scott honda, 603 11th ave n, nampa, id 83687, (208) 466-3248) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact took the vehicle to several independent mechanics who diagnosed that the master cylinder had not malfunctioned and no leaks were found. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 229,000.
I was just entering highway via ramp and accelerating to merge. As soon as the speed hit approximately 55mph, it suddenly put the brake and dropped the speed to about 40mph.every time i tried to go beyond the speed, it suddenly put the brake.i could not get the speed to go beyond 55mph.it was very dangerous for me and also for the other drivers around me.i eventually pulled over and turned the key off to wait for about 5minutes and then i started the car.that time, no problem.the exactly same incident happened three other times rather randomly. Every time, i had to pull over and wait for few minutes it restart the car.when i mentioned it to on the phone to honda service representative at the dealer i bought the car, he just said that the recall is for pilot only and they have no knowledge of the odyssey having this issue. So, i am adding my name to the list of complains with the hope that honda takes this seriously. Thanks.
Break push automatic without my pushing,stearing hard toward one side and may be leaking,colour pills,power door actuator latch problem,pipe under engine look rotten.transmissionn noise.during driving,car break peddle work and not in my control.pax tyre one out of 4 has lost surface,thread of michelin pax tyre and in warrantee and michelin asked to go to honda dealer only and only as they only solve pax tyre problem.turning vehicle in slow speed is very hard though power stearing and noise come from power door front left driver side actuator.recall was for this car honda odessey 2007 but now web say no recall or 0 recall.i want honda to help fix all problem as a courtesy.

Was driving on highway about 20 miles from home. I got up to about 45 miles, the vehicle brakes on its own slowing down the vehicle. It lasted about two seconds and it happened 4 times on the way home in a 5 minute time period.. Then the rest of the way home everything was ok and the vehicle did not brake on its own.
While maintaining a speed of approx. 40 mph with my foot on the accelerator, it suddenly felt as if someone slammed on the brakes. This only happened once on this date.the vehicle was taken to the dealership.there were no codes and they could not duplicate the situation. They checked the braking system thoroughly but could not determine the cause of my issue. One month later (8/17/13), the same "severe unintended braking" happened again, but this time it happened three times within 1/2-3/4 of a mile. Fortunately, no one was right behind me or they would have hit me. I am afraid to drive this vehicle as i don't know when it will slam on the brakes without my involvement.
On october 16, 2013, my honda accelerated at a fast speed up my driveway and caused$6,178.37 in repair costs and slammed into my front porch. The brakes did not work to stop the car.we immediately informed honda and our insurance carrier of the accident, and the car was towed to honda in old bridge, nj, as it could not be driven due to damage.on 11/15/2013, see claims summary, honda could not determine if this an acceleration issue. They never informed us of what the issue was.honda did not provide me with a rental car, so i had to rent a car from 10/21/13 to 11/26/13, which i paid $603.96 out of pocket (receipts enclosed).the amount of time honda was way too long fix my car and i had pay additional rental costs due to their unreasonable delay. Shortly, after honda repaired my car, i received a recall notice that the brakes were recalled. Really?this is why my car would not stop. There have been several recalls on my honda.a year after purchase, the engine broke down. I wrote to nj attorney general, who wrote back and asked that i write to you. I am also attaching pictures of the accident.there are tire marks in the driveway due to the high speed of the acceleration.photos fluids running down my driveway, and the damaged front end. I have also enclosed nj manufacturer's, copy of the claim summary dated 11/15/13.this matter is very upsetting to me and the way it was handled by honda.my husband, also purchased a new pilot, and my honda were both purchased new at the same honda. I know there are acceleration issues with this honda and this was an acceleration issue and a mechanical issue on the fault of the brakesi am requesting to be reimbursed for the car rental, insurance deductible and a refund of the cost i paid for the honda in the amount of $28,931.46. My car has never driven the same since the accident.
While driving on the highway letting the car coast (my foot was not on the brakes or the gas pedal) the car brakes when on by them selves suddenly. Reducing the speed form roughly 60mph to 30 mph. I was nearly rear ended by the car behind me on the highway as there was no apparent for the car's sudden braking. This same thing happened on four occasions while driving home from work.
Soft brake pedal had to pump to get good brakes an avoid a collision.
I was traveling along a windy road when my honda van started to brake all by itself. It continued to do this over the next 30 minutes. I called my dealership. They said it probably had to do with me braking frequently on the windy roads. About 2 months later, i was traveling in town, going about 40 miles per hour, when it happened again. My foot was on the accelerator, i was going about 35-40 mph and the car started braking all by itself.it was 2012 when it happened again. I took it into the dealership where they said they had to reset a sensor that had to do with the vehicle stability system. It has not happened since then, but honestly, i think about it constantly, wondering if it'll happen again. I felt extremely lucky that i was not on the freeway.
My van seems to brake by itself... It has done it on and off since i purchased the vehicle.. Don't remember first time.. It is at low speed and in all types of weather conditions.. Thought it might be traction control but not sure until i read about other vans doing the same thing.. What can i do about it.
Owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, the entire instrument panel warning indicators remained illuminated. The transmission began to slip gears with slight hesitation & stopped in the middle lane with no power (no lights, no beeps nothing new better was installed on 11/13). After 30 min. Jump started & on the way home the failure recurred. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of this problem on 4/1/14 at 12am est. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Also the warning for this problem is the security system going of randomly for no reason (like doors locking or closing horn going off).
The brakes pedal is very spongy. You have to press quite hard to get the car to stop. Vsa modulator seal recall work has been done already and there are new brake pads on the van. I have replaced brake fluid and bleed system multiple times. This car does not inspire braking performance.
Tires prurchased from walmart 10/6/18 were installed improperly and they changed the manufactures calibration. The tpms light came on, i returned the van to walmart; they never fixed the problem and i made five visits.the manager did not know what a tpms sensor was; did not have any in the shop. I frequently had the air pressure in the tire checks.two weeks ago, driving the van the tires seemed to be wobbly, i had the air pressure checked again and again. On april 15, 2021, i filed a complaint with walmart at the main office and took the suv to the hammond, indiana car center. After haggling with the staff fo over 4 hours, they replaced the two tire. The problem of the wobbling tires had not been solved.only the wobbling was less noticeable.i made over 20 telephone calls to the car center without the phone being answered.today i filed another complaint with walmart headquarters.martha, the person that took the complaint stated that i would be contacted by the car center.this center should be closed; lives are at stack and the workers are rude and are not following the tread act.i never experienced the tpms coming on until walmart replaced my tires. My mechanic drive the suv and his observation was "the front tires are out of round by 1/4 inch and inner side wall bulging". His first observation was in october 2018, shortly after walmart installed the tires. On 4/15/21, i contacted goodyear and they gave no information on tpms .i do not feel safe driving this suv ad i believe that walmart is violating the tread act. They reluctantly replaced the tires, but even worse the tpms light is still on. There were no notifications posted on the walls in that carcenter.in addition, my son recently purchased tires for his suv from this same walmart he was not given any information about tpms sensors and none were installed.
The rear right brake locked up over night and destroyed the entire braking system on the rear wheel.the entire brakes were replaced approximately a year earlier on all 4 wheels so this incident happened on a 1 year old braking system.dealer said it must have been caused by a defective sensor that did not let go of the rear brake and it instantaneously destroyed the rear wheel brake.the grinding sound was very loud as the brake did not let go and destroyed the one year old rotor.i recall reading about a recall from honda in first quarter of 2013 (right after my incident) on other honda vehicles and also some odyssey overseas but not in usa.please log my complaint and let me know of the next steps.this car has been dealer servicedat all the required checkpoints.thank you.

Brake pedal travels nearly to floor before braking becommes effective..often requires pumping pedal to get effective braking. Several trips to repair shops required expensive bleeding air from brake lines and fluid replacement. Problem reappears after a few weeks.
On the above i was rear ended in two vehicle accident because my honda odyssey suddenly stopped. I informed the officer, but the other was charged with the accident. (at fault).

I was driving slowly (<10 mph) and entered into a rotary within a mall complex. I noticed the car in front of me stopped to yield another car entering the rotary. I put my foot on the brake and my vehicle slowed down. As i put more pressure on the brake to stop the car as it's getting closer the car in front of me, my vehicle started accelerate suddenly. I quickly moved my foot further left to make sure it was completely on the brake pedal and stepped harder, the engine ran even fasterand it hit the car in the front and stopped. I looked at the area of the brake and gas pedals and everything was clear and separate. Fortunately the speed of the car was slow, no one got injured. The front bumper of my car and the rear bumper of the other car dented.
Van takes too long to stop.pedal feels high, but stopping takes too long.new brakes have been installed and problem still persists.i consider this to be an extremely dangerous condition.it seems more pronounced at highway speeds.
Typical honda odyssey soft brake pedal.we've had this brake issue since new.multiple recalls, adjustments, etc... Honda for some reason can't figure out the problem.our van was wrecked twice because of this stupid brake problem.the first wrecked happened in august 2010. The brake pedal went to the floor and caused a front end collision. I took it to honda again, but they said nothing was wrong with the brakes.then the second wreck occurred.same reason as the first.that's two serious accidents in 1.5 year time span.each time the damage exceeded $10,000.both accidents occurred because the brakes were soft and the vehicle wouldn't slow down fast enough.oh, did i forget to mention that the airbags never deployed in either accident.what's the point in having airbags if they are not going to deploy in a major front end collision.this vehicle is flat out dangerous.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While driving, the vsa warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the brake pedal felt "spongy" when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (victory honda of sandusky, 2301 hayes ave, sandusky, oh 44870) where it was diagnosed that the vsa module failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired due to the part cost. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaignnumber: 13v500000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.
The brakes suddenly hardened and would not engage while going downhill.this problem was first noticed in .i took the vehicle to woodland hills keyes honda and learned that the brake power booster was defective.this same vehicle was the subject of a recall of the master cylinder.based on honda's recommendations, the power brake booster is to be replaced if there is any leak.it is my position, that the master cylinder upon determining that it was leaking as implicit in the recall required that the power brake booster be replaced.had this been replaced there would not have been a failure to the power brake booster.
2007 honda odyssey abs braking system is soft with low pedal. Difficult to stop the vehicle at times, frequent problems for last several years. Even after recalls for faulty seals in the brake master cylinder years ago and then the recall for the vsa modulator . Bumped garage door while pulling in! dealer said: faulty abs modulator.

Driving on a clear, dry day at 45-50 mph, the car self-brakes causing whiplash.unpredictable when this will happen. This has happened 3 times in 4 years. Honda dealer replaced sensor last time about 18 months ago.this time it happened they stated they could not replicate it so they could not help me.they stated they contacted honda and they have no record of this happening to anyone else. Ever.my children and myself could be killed.
I was driving and all of a sudden the brakes just lost power and i had to press the brake very firmly to feel any actual braking happen. The rotors and pads were replaced about 200 miles ago and the entire brake system flushed due to previous issue of a very spongy or soft brake pedal. The vehicle's brake failure started at the end of a 50 mile commute at as i got off the freeway and approached a red light it took twice-three times the normal distance to stop going about 40 mph.
The brakes operated on their own as i made a left turn and was ascending a highway ramp at 20mph. I was able to pull to the shoulder and turned off the motor. I turned it on again and drove 45 miles to my home without further incident. In february, 2012, i made a right turn ascending a highway ramp at about 25mph. The brakes operated on their own. Again, i was able to pull to the shoulder, turned off the motor and turned it on again. This time i drove it 100 miles to the place where i purchased it and left it there (it was a saturday night). Neither the agency where i purchased it nor the honda agency 60 miles from my home could find a problem. In april, 2012 the brakes operated on their own after making a right-hand turn. I was going 20-25mph. I pulled over, turned it off and turned it on again. Again, nothing was found to be wrong. It happened again in june, 2012 and nothing was found to be wrong. In november, 2012 it braked again. I left the motor running and called the place where i purchased it. They came and drove it to their shop (it tried to brake 5 times during the 10 mile drive but did not succeed). A steering angle sensor was replaced per the codes. March, 2013, 250 miles from home it did it again. I pulled to the shoulder, turned it off and turned it on again and drove 250 miles home. Honda refuses to acknowledge a problem because there isn't a "history", but pilots and acuras had a recall in march, 2013 for this same problem. It is a definite safety issue. Do i have to be killed before honda acknowledges this problem?
Car brakes spontaneously several times. The first time this happened, i took it to the honda dealership and they said the brake line was clogged. They cleaned it and did something to the rotors, and i had no trouble for a year. Then today, 7/24/13, it happened again several times on my way home. It was really scary because i was going about 45-50 and the brakes just slammed on all by themselves! i am taking it back to dealer tomorrow, but since there is no recall, i will have to pay for it again.
I was driving behind someone that stopped short and i went to hit my brakes and felt like nothing was there!!! it turned into a three car accident with my three children, ages 10, 2 and 1.it stopped very lightly. I also find that i can't stop where i intend to and that the car continually only lets me do "rolling" stops.
Low soft brake peddle
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle began to brake on its own. The contact stated that the vehicle speed decreased to 15 mph but then stopped completely. The contact was able to safely drive the vehicle to his home. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and stated they could not diagnose the cause of failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure; however, they provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 73,000.
I entered a highway and was accelerating to a speed of approx. 35 mph when the vehicle suddenly decelerated, as if the brakes had been slammed on, causing me to lurch forward, triggering the seat belts to tighten. I maintained steering control, removed my foot from the gas pedal, then suddenly the vehicle accelerated rapidly without my pressing on the gas pedal. This happened four times within approximately 60 seconds. I'm stating this mildly when i say the experience was terrifying. I pulled over, turned the car off, and called our mechanic who advised i slowly and safely drive the van to the shop, which wasn't too far away, or consider having it towed. I chose to drive slowly to the mechanics and the problem did not occur again. Upon diagnostic testing, our mechanic said it was a steering sensor that lost its memory and needed reset, an easy fix and that while this problem is rare, it's not unheard of, yet it shouldn't happen again. (we had recently had new tires installed prior to this event, the mechanic suspected that while the tires were being changed, the sensor's memory must have been wiped.) the second event was this past wed., oct. 2, the same experience as before happened again. Only on this occasion, our mechanic's diagnostic testing did not provide a code as it had before, but recognizing the complaint, they reset the sensor again. In both events, the roads were dry, clear weather, we were driving on new tires and at low speeds, having just moments before turned on the ignition and begun accelerating. We are now being told that our vehicle has two broken motor mounts. We highly suspect this is due to the sudden jerking back and forwards from this involuntary deceleration/acceleration issue; it's an expensive repair! honda needs to recall this model and get a fix asap. We are thankful this hasn't caused an accident--yet. *we bought this van used in 2010.
On a recent vacation we first noticed on moderate downhill grades with very moderate braking wheels would start to shimmy with shaking of the steering wheel.with a total release of brakes, shimmy would immediately stop, and no wheel vibrations would be felt. Braking on flat areas or in city driving no vibrations are felt, even with fairly hard braking.during our trip this started happening on almost every downhill grade making the car very hard to control.returned from our trip and drove mostly on roads where we do not have many downhill grades and did not have the problem again, untilrecently we traveled on an interstate roadfrom a city approximately 50 from us that had several downhill grades.on every slight downhill grade if the brakes were even applied very gently, the shaking and steering wheel wobble would start immediately.but again would not do it on a level road. This shaking and vibration makes the car very dangerous to drive.the car was purchased new and now has only 26333 miles, and has only been serviced by a honda dealer. Every time the brakes were checked for service everything checked out ok.the brakes have never been worked on or had any repairs of any sort done on them or any related parts.it is still in complete factory condition.this is a very serious problem and could very easily cause an accident, and i know that taking it into a honda dealership they would simply take it around the block and say everything was fine and do nothing.this really parallels many of the other people that have complained of the same problem with this car.
This has to do with the recent recall regarding the master brake cylinder.the car was recently taken into the local honda dealer.ever since this recall was completed, i've felt (and sometime heard) a slight "buzz" when first touching the brake pedal.the "buzz" is a vibration, which is felt in the first few seconds after application and immediately disappears if braking is held, or released.it may again appear if the pedal is depressed, but not always.braking feels normal with no other events.it has not gotten worse or disappeared.please call for further questions or comments.thank you.
I purchased this used car in march 2020. The issue i am having is with the brakes.the car require a more than usual pedal pressure for the brakes to stop the car. This could be dangerous when the car is moving in high speed. I have also researched online and found out that there are a lot of honda odessey owners are complaining about same issue.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling approximately 40 mph, the brakes erroneously engaged. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact was driving approximately 70 mph when the vehicle began to vibrate as the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer fours times for the failure. The rotors were resurfaced three times and replaced once. The repairs were performed by the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000. Updated 2/4/13updated 02/22/2013
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph with the cruise control activated, he depressed the brake pedal and noticed that the pedal had seized and would not respond. The contact stated that after several attempts, the brake pedal responded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.
My vsa light wont go off and now my brake light is on also im scared my van is going to brake or stop working properly.
When traveling at low speed (5-10 mph) and depressing the brake pedal, the car suddenly accelerated. This happened on two separate occasions.feb 1, 2018 and feb 14, 2018.the problem caused minor accidents in both cases.on feb 1, the car was in a parking lot, pulling into a parking space, depressed the brake pedal, and the car accelerated and ran over a handicapped parking sign.on feb 14, in rush hour traffic on the highway, traveling approximately 10 mph, depressed the brake, and the car accelerated into a tractor-trailer causing extensive damage to the odyssey, but not to the tractor trailer.the honda dealership maintains that there is nothing wrong with the car, no problem with the brakes or accelerator.as the owner, i am convinced there is a problem and the car is not safe to drive, and in fact we have gotten rid of the car and bought a new one because of this problem.i also did some research online and discovered that 22 other people had had a similar problem with the 2007 odyssey.i'm concerned that there is need for a recall, but honda is not acknowledging the problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the brake fluid needed to be topped off every three weeks. There were no leaks and a warning indicator was not illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 111,000.
Very strong gas smell
Vsa light came on then the car will not go over 2000 rpms and the steering gets hard. The brakes go to floor making hard brake feel. This happened on the interstate.
Van has low, soft brake pedal, and must be bled every few weeks. I feel vehicle is unsafe to drive. Honda does not seem interested or care.
While turning into a parking space and applying my brakes, the engine revved, brakes stopped responding and the vehicle propelled forward, resulting in the vehicle jumping a median and ramming into a tree at which point the airbags deployed and engine cut-off. This left me with burns on the skin of my arms and neck area. I have owned and driven this van for six years and am certain that i was applying the brake. The vehicle had to be towed as the driver side seatbelt was left inoperable. We were told by our dealership that the side air bag had deployed within the column, but did not enter the cabin as it was not visible and was caught within the seat belt pillar.
Pedal is very soft. Requires half pedal or more to stop. Firms up if pedal is pumped. Increasing stopping distsnces & unable to guage safe stopping distsnces. Most noticed at city speeds & exiting the highway.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while parking the vehicle and depressing the brakes, the vehicle would not respond. The contact crashed into a wall. He was not injured. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. Prior to the crash, the vehicle was repaired at an authorized dealer under nhtsa campaign id number: 10v098000 (service brakes, air). The current and failure mileage was approximately 21,500.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that they have taken the vehicle to the dealer three times to have the brakes repaired under campaign number 10v098000, service brakes. Each time the vehicle was repaired, the brakes worked for a few days and then failed again. The dealer wants to perform diagnostic testing on the vehicle a fourth time, but the contact doesn't feel that will remedy the failure. The failure mileage was not available. The current mileage was 45376.
I was trying to trying to stop my 2007 honda odyssey very quickly to avoid hitting the car in front of me and hit the brakes only to have nothing happen. The car wouldn't stop until it hit the car in front - the pedal was to the floor. I had previously talked with honda about the brake pads and researched online and discovered "squishy" brake problems, but no solutions. After the accident i talked with honda who was just releasing a safety recall for low/soft brake pedal : "air may enter the modulator due to improper sealing material of the vsa modulator control unit". They bled brakes using special procedure and installed (2) modulator sealing caps over the two (2) plugs on the sides of the vsa modulator-control unit to correct per bulletin 1030a5 (element) .6 & 4130a5 (odyssey) .7.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While traveling at 22 mph, the contact applied the brakes and noticed that they hesitated to engage but returned to normal a few seconds later. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the repair for recall 10v098000 (service brakes, air) was performed. The current and failure mileages were approximately 30,000.
2007 odyssey with soft brakes.the recall fix was done in summer 2010.about late november 2010 early december 2010, i noticed the brakes felt soft again.on 12/13/2010, i took car into honda dealership for a rotation/oil change and to check the brakes.again, there was air in the brake line.the same problem again that the recall solution was supposed to fix.supposedly it was fixed this time.i drove it home, about 6 miles, and parked it for about 5 minutes.my wife got in the vehicle and drove about 1 mile when she called saying the brakes were randomly going from really soft to her not being able to press the brake pedal an inch.she immediately parked the car and was scared to death.ultimately, we had it towed back to the same honda dealership.prior to the tow, the vsa light and vsa indicator stayed on and then went off. All this info was provided to "mike" at the honda dealership...immediately...and i mean immediately...honda agreed to pay the tow, fix the problem and provide me a rental.the car is to be fixed on 12/14/2010.this is not good.honda corporate.....are you listening....you have a serious problem...you know it....fix it before you end up in court paying millions in miserable comfort to relatives of lost loved ones...by the way my wife and kids are in that vehicle everyday...get my point?
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While braking from approximate speeds of 45 mph, the brakes fell much farther into the floorboard than usual. He assumed the failure had occurred due to depressing both the brake and accelerator pedal simultaneously. The dealer made unknown repairs under nhtsa campaign id number: 10v098000 (service brakes, air) but the failure persisted. The contact stated the failure would occur whenever the brakes were depressed. The vehicle was neither repaired nor diagnosed for the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000 and the current mileage was 34,900.
We purchased brand new odyssey july'07. From date of purchase we noticed the brakes performed below par. The brakes required much force be applied as well as a longer stopping distance be accommodated. At first the dealer commented that our vehicle did not have a problem, however, a test drive showed that if one depressed the brake pedal while the car is at rest it gave way until it eventually made contact with the floor. After this the dealer insisted that i leave with a rental while they looked at the problem, sept '07. They kept the vehicle for two days. Upon returning the vehicle their comments were "we have improved the master cylinder, however, this is temporary and i should allow for a further inspection at my next oil change". The vehicle is still not right. When driving the vehicle in heavy traffic and bad weather it does not inspire confidence, one feels as though one is driving a lemon. Now there is an additional fault. The computer flashes a warning (erratic) "check petrol cap"... This warning appearing after having covered 320mls with still ample fuel in the tank. No apparent logic can be attached to the reason of the warning. The warning disappears after the engine is turned off, the petrol cap is opened and then closed again and, the engine restarted.

I had honda odyssey 2007 at 53,000 miles air compressor went out i am using this car only weekend. I believe they should be last longer than that. I checked on internet a lot of owners had same problem. Thanks for your helpnguyen, tom
We have 3 my 07 honda odyssey vans and two of them have had the brake modulators replaced due to loss of pedal and in one case going through an intersection. I haven't had this van in yet to see if they would replace the modulator but on this van the brake pedal seems to go down farther than it should. I hasn't exhibited the instances of the other vans but one has to wonder is it only a matter of time? i my self have felt the peddle somewhat squishy. I am wondering why there isn't a recall on this due to honda has a tech bulletin out for this problem. I have had 2 out of the 3 fixed, those aren't very good odds. I plan on taking in this van and see if they will replace it.
Honda odyssey 2007 touring: brakes just do not work adequately; stops are overrun by 1/3 to 1/2 vs. My 1996 dodge caravan w/ 175,000 miles on it.the brakes are very spongy and soft, do not engage immediately and surely do not stop one in normal highway driving.
My wife and i own a 2007 honda odyssey, and have a consistent and perpetual brake problem.the brakes have always been really soft and go almost to the ground when braking. In addition, when applying the brakes, such as when pulling up to a stop sign, there isa very loud grinding noise. In my experience that grinding noise is a bad thing.however, according to my dealer, and we have taken the van in for brake service several times for them to fix this issue, this is normal for honda odysseys. Something to do with the material of the brake pads because the car is heavier. But this cannot possibly be normal, and the brakes should not take so long to engage. I have a very hard time getting this van to brake going down hills and am constantly afraid that they will not engage in time for me to stop before hitting the car in front of me.i am concerned for the safety of my family, and am extremely concerned that honda has taken no action to correct this issue, especially considering that all of the research i have completed shows that there are many, many complaints of the same nature from other honda odyssey owners.
Steering wheel shakes and braking is lagging has almost cause an accident. I have alerted dealer of this defect and do not feel comfortable driving the car.
My brakes shake and cause my steering to shake when applied at any speed over approx. 40mph.no accidents to report, just has concerned me for a while that this happens when braking.makes me feel very unsure.
While driving our 2007 honda odyssey (42,000 miles) the brakes automatically activated.on october 24, 2010, my husband and i had just taken off on the highway, and had reached approximately 45-50 mph.all of a sudden i thought he had slammed on brakes in the middle of the highway.he said they did it on their own.we drove another 1/2 mile to a gas station and it happened two more times.once we pulled into the gas station he pressed on the brake pedal a few times, and checked to make sure the emergency break wasn't on, or that the car didn't slip out of gear.everything seemed fine, so we ventured the additional 5 miles to home with no additional problems.today is sunday, so i will be taking the van to the dealership tomorrow.
I was driving my 2007 honda odyssey.as i was coming to a stop, i became involved in an accident.over the recent weeks i thought it was taking longer to stop my van, but had my van in for service the week before.i was assure that everything was fine and all fluid levels were correct. ***note:on my first service visit the service adviser told me that i should not be concerned about brake fluid levels that the van would notify me when it was time to replace the breaks and that the van was designed to do so.the police were called to the scene of the accident.i could not explain the accident and the officer coaxed me in to saying that i had been distracted.i was in shock.my son was in the car with me and i could not think much of anything else other than whether he was safe. I believe i had come to a complete stop then hit the vehicle in front of me.my airbags did not deploy.ever since the accident i have continued to notice that i must press the brake pedal all the way to the floor at times to stop the van and other times i don't in normal driving circumstances.all along i had believed the dealership that everything was fine with my vehicle.now i have damages to pay and a ticket i am facing as a result of what i believe to be break failure.i will be making a follow-up report with my local police department, faxing a copy other similar break failure complaints to my insurance company, contacting honda and hopefully will be able to get some answers on the problem with my van.
2007 honda odyssey soft brakes. Pedal must go to the floor to stop the vehicle.
Brakes activating on their own.in early 2010 (around february/march), this problem occurred for the first time.my wife was traveling with our three kids and the brakes activated while traveling about 45 mph.she pulled over to a gas station.i was about 1 mile behind her in my vehicle and she called to let me know what happened.i pulled over at the gas station and had my wife and kids switch cars with me.my wife never turned the engine off when she stopped.i continued down the road and the brakes continued to activate 3 or 4 more times as a drove the van to the closest honda dealer (only about 2 miles from where the incident first occurred).many months have gone by and the same thing happened on 11/8/2010 and 11/16/2010.on the 11/8/2010 incident, the brakes activated and the vsa indicator flickered and then stayed on.my wife was able to drive the van home.i drove the van to the dealer the following day - no incident.the dealer reported 8 codes indicated when hooked up to the computer, but all checked out ok.happened again on 11/16 and no vsa light - dealer indicated no codes indicated when hooked up to the computer.dealer has had the van since 11/16/2010 - we are afraid to drive it.the dealer says no problem can be found and they have not been able to duplicate the problem.
Soft brake problem on 2007 honda odyssey still exists after the 2010 april soft brake recall procedure has been applied. Even though the recall procedure was applied to the car, the same problem continues to exist. Honda should come up with a solution that really fix this problem.
Brake doesn't work properly. It's takes too long for response, soft brake and inconsistent.
I was driving odyssey along with my kids on a single lane city road at the speed of ~35 miles/hour. I rear ended the car, which resulted in 3 car collision. Igot distracted from the road for 2-3 sec, when i got attention back on the i saw a car stopped for left turn (no left turnout). I pushed my brakes as hard as i could, but couldn't stop my vehicle, resulted in rear ending the vehicle, which pushed him, and caused a hit to another vehicle in front of him.i thought it was my failure, but when i saw recalls related to the soft brake issues, it made me rethink, that incident has soft brakes issues has to do a lot. In past, i talked to the dealer about the softness of the brakes, they told me that vans are bigger and heavier, so it takes time to stop them' incident caused significant damage to my van.. My old brakes are still intact, and i can still feel the softness.. But now we drive much more carefully. Now
Soft brake pedal even after tsb was performed.several other people are complaining about this same subject matter on the honda odyssey.
A letter from senator wicker on behalf of constituent re safety concern about his 2007 honda odyssey (dot/i # s-2012-274) *tgwthe consumer stated the van had a documented problem with the brakes locking up while driving. The consumer stated the brakes locked up while his wife was driving, which almost caused her to be rear ended.
January 5th, 2009 i was involved in an accident that i believe was directly linked to the brake issue with my 2007 honda odyssey.i have previously reported the "soft and mushy" brakes to this site and to the local honda dealer multiple times.on the evening of the accident, i should have had plenty of time to stop after the panic stop of a car in front of me, due to another turning driver.however, the brakes went to the floor and did not stop the van in time.this caused an accident where i rear-ended the driver in front of me causing major damage to her car and mine with my airbag deploying.the issue with the brakes has been one that i have complained about to multiple honda dealers and they have ignored, always saying that they were within normal limits.i have driven vans for 17 years and have never had the braking problems with any others.there was no reason for this accident to happen other than soft and weak brakes that intermittently do not stop the vehicle.we are contacting the honda body shop that has the van and making sure they are doing a complete inspection on the braking system again.please do something about this issue before more people are hurt or killed.
2007 honda odyssey. Consumer states problems with faulty modulator *tgwthe consumer stated on february 9, 2011 he took the vehicle to the dealer because the vsa light illuminated on the dashboard. They determined the vsa module was faulty and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1221.00 plus tax. The consumer stated the vsa modulator was replaced previously under recall.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling 35 mph, the brakes engaged independently and the brake lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was moved to the shoulder. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred several times after the initial failure. The manufacturer was contacted about the problem. The failure mileage was 15,769 and the current mileage was 29,000. The consumer stated the brakes would self-activate randomly and without warning. When he attempted to accelerate the vehicle would come to a stop or near stop; only then would the brakes release. When the brakes locked up, it caused the tires to drag as they were being forced to roll. Until the consumer could get to a safe place to stop. Also, the rotors and calipers were generating heat.
Power steering loss at low speeds.
There has been a number of recalls on the brake system.but, there continues to be air introduced into the system causing a soft pedal.this leads to reduced brake effectiveness.
While pulling into a parking spot with a very slight downhill grade i applied the brakes, which seemed to have little effect on stopping the vehicle completely. I pushed very hard onto the brake pedal and was able to get the vehicle stopped before hitting the suv parked in front of me.only then did i hear that the motor was revved up.upon releasing the brakes the motor returned back to idle.i, at that point, realized that i was inadvertently pushing on the accelerator while applying the brakes, with the same foot simultaneously (right foot).i have been driving for 29 years and have never had this happen before.upon doing my own investigating, i realized that with the proximity of the brake pedal to the accelerator it was possible to bridge the distance andapply both at the same time.more importantly, i discovered that the brake pedal travel easily allowed the brake pedal to pass the accelerator idle position, especially when applying the brakes with more force.i looked at my other cars and none of them would ever allow this situation to happen, the brake pedal never passes the accelerator idle position.i now understood what had happened to me and feel that it is a dangerous safety defect.the more you push on the brakes to stop the more you could unknowingly push on the accelerator.
Bought honda 2007 odyssey from dealer.vehicle had 40,433mi. Window sticker showed it as a honda (150 point inspected) certified vehicle. Noticed spongy brakes during test drive and thought brakes just needed to be bleed. I bought the vehicle and after only 400miles the pedal started going down to floor. After 700mi the car was too dangerous to drive. Searching the net i found out there was a service bulletin for a known problem with spongy brakes caused by defective vsa module but no recall. Checking my window sticker i saved and it said it was a honda certified vehicle but in low left corner showed 90 day/1k mile warranty. I called american honda about my brake problem and was given consideration and vsa module replaced for a reduced cost to me of $600.00 instead of the normal $1200.00. This is not right, i should not be paying for a defective product and hope that there is a recall soon before someone is seriously injured.
We bought a used 2007 honda odyssey ex-l from a dealership, and noticed the brake pedal to be spongy. The van stops slower than other vehicles on the road under normal following distance, and creates a hazardous situation every time someone in front makes a hard braking and waits for left turn at the last minute. Once i overshot a stop sign before main road but fortunately there were no other cars. I found honda tsb 07-045 and brought the van to a honda dealership today, but they said that it is a heavy vehicle and the brake behavior is normal. Please raise honda's awareness before severe accidents and bad pr happen.
The brakes are very soft and spongy...been saved a couple of times regarding rear ending someone, but today at 20 miles and hour - i crashed into the car in front of me. I had enough distance to stop the car and was literally standing on the brake, but it just didn't stop till it crashed into the car in front of me.
Shuddering steering wheel and brake pulsing starting at 18k miles. Dealer says the rotors are warped, though brake pads have over 75% life left.in all our years of driving we've never had rotors needing turning or repairing in less than 40k miles. This seems like a defect to me that honda will not take ownership for.
2007 honda odyssey brakes were spongy from day one. Inquired at the dealer and they said its normal 10k. I hate the brakes on the van since they do not stop when you want them too. Also having problems with rotors now which are warped i guess at 20k.the steering vibrates when braking. It should never happen to a newer car. All owners need to concern this problem with honda for an recall for safety and product failure.
Honda odyssey 2007 driver seat belt stopped working, dealer at first wanted to send me home without seat belt, after i refused to drive the car , they gave me a rent a car for repairs.also brake system not working properly , multiple previous mentions to the dealer that breaks are soft, they told me it was not any thing bad and nothing they can doalso steering pump problems went bad at 34,000 ,miles and they said it will cost 700 dollars to fix , steering very hard and not safe, unable to steer quickly and avoid objects on the road.

7 times(3 times on highway, 4 times on small roads) my 2007 honda odyssey exl failed to stop when brakes were applied. I would apply brakes and the van would keep going. Most of these times when the brakes are applied again the van would stop. I took the car numerous times to the dealership and they said they couldnt reproduce the problem. But they replaced the brake master cylinder 2 times(once for defective master cylinder and once for incorrectinstallation). Finally they asked me to trade the van for a different one. They paid $2500 for the hazzle and i had to pay $5500.. Beacuse of the safety concern i traded my van to get a new one.
My brake goes nearly to the floor when it is pressed hard. Normally at rest it is 5 inches from the floor and when i push it hard it goes all the way down to 2 inches from the floor.i brought it into my dealer and complained that there is something wrong.it was returned to me with a notation that it was test driven and the pedal travel is normal. The mechanic drove another odysseyand found it to be the same.note that if my foot was off to the right of the brake pedal,when pushed hardthat it would hit the accelerator also while attempting to stop. If this is the same in all odysseys, it is a dangerous situation.
The brakes on my 2007 honda odyssey, have been checked three (3) times by the dealer.but the problem of not stopping in a safe time and the grinding noise made by them has not been fixed.the pedal is very soft and sometimes all the way to the floor board and still not stopping in time for the red light.this still occurs daily.i have had the recall done for the air in the brake line but nothing helped, i have had the brakes looked at and the honda dealer stated "they are just fine".
No crashes known to me at this date. Condition of the brake pedal approaching the floor boardduring the inital application mainat stop lights and when approaching another vehicle has been evident for probably for a year. The pedal height increases with repeated pedal applications but after a short period the loss of correct brake application for the stop needed required is again repeated by the excess drop of brake pedal. With the pedal at its lowest travel point contact with the gas pedal can occur.brake fluid level in the reservoir was always correct; brake clippers and pads are in good condition; no fliud leaks are eviident at th resevoir;caliper connections; or fluid leaks whichmight be seen at any fliud line connecters.
I have a honda 2007 odyssey and the all four brake rotors need to be changed, and i have been the only owner of the vehicle i have had the van since nov. 20/2006 i always drive the van every where how can this be to a new van?i was quoted a price of 1200$ to fix.this may be a safety problem but not sure how much of one, but when stopping is concerned it is serious.

My brakes on my honda odyssey 2007 van failed last week.the van has only 13k miles on it.the honda dealership (capitol honda, san jose, ca) told me that the power booster on the brakes was defective. They said it was very rare.last month, i received a recall notice to have the van serviced to prevent a brake problem called "soft brake."i took it in and several weeks later, the brakes seemed to give way while i was driving with children inside.i could hear a hissing sound and the brake felt spongy.the dealership told me i had "hard brake," not "soft brake."the dealership called honda and honda authorized a "one-time complimentary" fix.i write this in the hopes of preventing a tragedy as these vans are mostly family vehicles--multiple children on board.

While accelerating about 45 mph, the brakes suddenly slammed on while foot was on the gas pedal.the car came to a dead stop then started going again. There was no time to react and things flew forward in the car.this has happened three times.
Brakes feel squishy for late model car, seems to get worse.haven't had a crash, but read recently announced engineering probe related to this issue and thought i'd chime in.honda's stance on this, from the docs posted in conjunction w/ the launch of the engineering probe, seems to be basically after a couple years the brakes will not engage (pedal will hit floor before engaging), but hopefully before this the user will know because the travel distance of pedal will gradually increase.are you kidding me?!?!?this is scary!most of the soccer moms i know that drive odysseys will *not* even feel the squishy brakes -- they'll just think it to be normal b/c in most cars the problem is stable -- doesn't get worse!maybe the recall should be "if you see an odyssey coming', get the heck out of the way! !"please force a recall before somebody gets killed! shame on honda for such a dumb-headed response to this serious issue.
Brake pedal is very low and feels soft. Honda service bulletin 07-045 issued on march 5, 2009 does not really fix the soft brake issue. It is a temporary fix and will happen again in a matter of time.

Please help us and others as well.

1. At 60 mph on dry surface hwy, had to stop in 200'.applying normal pressure to brake pedal, i realized the car would not stop in time, so gradually applied more pressure, which was insufficient to stop until half way through the intersection.traffic was not a factor.i applied more than enough pressure to stop and the car did not.it is my wife's car, and i'm very worried, not knowing if this is an isolated incident or how the car reacts in this situation.2. This situation has not presented itself other that this time.3. Nothing requested.

While driving my 2007 honda odyssey,i have rolled through either a stop light or stop sign on three instances.i was pressing the brake in a manner that i believed was sufficient to stop the vehicle, but rolled approximately 1 car length past the targeted stopping point.to date, i have not been involved in a crash and there have been no injuries.i plan on contacting the dealership to inspect the vehicle because it should still be under warranty and i have read that there is an open investigation for other vehicles having the same problem.

I have a 2007 honda odyssey. A vibration in the steering wheel when braking lightly at low speeds. Took it to the dealership and they said the rotors were warped. There has to be defect in the brakes causing the rotors to warp as the vehicle only had 28k miles and the pads had more than 50% left. I researched online and looks like several people have had similar issues.
I was exiting the freeway and began stopping as i approached an already stopped vehicle.i began my stop early to make sure i had enough space to stop.the brake pedal on this vehicle has always felt soft/spongy.i depressed the brake pedal and the mini van slowed down but the pedal continued to go to the floor.the mini van has abs and so i continued to press harder. The pedal was all the way to the floor and the car was rolling as if the pedal was lightly depressed.then the mini van rolled as if the brakes were not on at all.i had to release the pedal and depress it again.at this time i had to steer the mini van to the left side of the car that was in front of me to avoid hitting it.after that event i was able to drive the car home and to the dealer.after telling my wife about the event she said that she thought it had happened to her before.the dealer checked the brake system and said they could not find anything.they called honda and honda had them replace the abs modulator and bleed the system.this was a very scary incident and i could only hope the problem has been fixed.i do fear for others with this vehicle because it is a family vehicle and after an internet search this problem does seem to happen often.

Brakes...too soft.took to dealer, technician agreed.bled brakes... Told that there was air in the line. Appear to be better.it had beenthis way since purchase in may of 07.serviced august of 07.
I was driving with cruise control off at a constant speed of 45 mph on level ground.brakes spontaneously activated with moderately hard force, slowing car to 30 mph, then releasing.no warning lights on instrument cluster, and all four wheels appeared to be involved.engine rpm did decrease during this event.the spontaneous braking recurred twice within two miles with the same fairly spirited deceleration experienced.the vsa was switched to the off setting, and no other episodes of spontaneous braking were noted for the remaining one mile of the journey.fuel level at 80%, car is very well maintained.no aberrant sounds were generated.updated 03/09/12
The brakes are not responding safely.they are super soft had to make an emergency stop recently and almost caused an accident.

Nhtsa action number: pe09-024 ---(braking problem)2007 honda odyssey ex - with braking problem - a stealthy intermitent problem since i bought it 12/2006.i traded it 08/2009.very dangerous braking problem... By luck, i was made aware of similar complaints from your web site -- thank you!!tried to get the braking problem corrected through service.no luck.test drove a new 2010 insight had similar braking problem (this problem would happen most of the time, but not as pronounced as in the odyssey). - the service manager joined me and drove the insight, he also felt the braking glide.tried to resolve the odyssey braking problem with honda service for month of july.. Honda replaced the vsa modular 7/29/2009.was worse. Didn't feel like abs was working.documented the attemt to get it fixed (the amber light never came on to say there was a problem).the brakes in the odyssey were still "doing the glide".communicated with honda through july 2009 -- i assumed honda sent my info to nhtsa to add this odyssey to the complaint.
When braking, the vehicle's brake pedal travels unusually farther to the floor than normal, and leads to improper and extraordinary braking techniques necessary to safely execute a stop.putting this vehicle into the hands of a minimally experienced young driver could result in unexpected vehicle performance and loss of control.this is by no means "standard" or "normal" as my local honda dealer says it is.this is not in line with other honda vehicles, either; it is an aberration they are not addressing.the resulting customer dissatisfaction is mounting, and needs to be addressed by our transportation officials to force honda to address and resolve this issue.
2007 honda odyssey braking system not working good only less than 10k. Mile steering start shaking and dealer told us it is warp they charge me $99 for resurfacing rotor but after another 10k it come back again and my car steering is getting heavy again even dealer replace that already.i assume that honda vsa or abs not working properly some how when hondalost very importantlife at highway accidents might they do something on this miserable happen.what kind car need to beresurfacing rotor every 10k mile and even i did that still on highway 70 mile drive steering make shaking and vibrating even it's resurfaced rotor.
I recently purchased a 2007 honda odyssey minivan and have noticed since its purchase that the braking system is very soft.hard pressure is required to stop the vehicle with much longer than expected braking distances.i am planning on speaking with honda to help with this situation.i hope that there will be a resolution to this problem.
This is to prompt an investigate of 2007 honda odyssey brake problem. I have had to bring our 2007 honda odyssey back to the deal for repair because of brake pedal is very very soft. My odyssey has 6000 miles on this only and i bring it back three times already. I truly feel the braking system is not safe even after the third time. The deal did replace some moduals on the anti locking system. But the odyssey brake still not very firm and i am afraid that it will not stop in time.
I forgot to add the recall number on the vsa device that locks up without drivers involvement and causes accidents. I was told by honda it is 13-098 in my former complaint today. Bottom line, if i drive it with this unsafe condition and it locks up andcauses an accident, who is liable for damages etc? if i don't drive it i have no car until repaired. Does or is honda responsible to provide us a car until ours is repaired and safe again. I received a recall notice and now tom scott honda in nampa id said they can't repair it until sometime next year because they can't get parts until then. From my understanding this vehicle is being recalled because the brakes lock up do to the vsa device malfunctioning and causing accidents in which people are getting hurt. What is the answer?
2007 honda odyssey minivan. Brake pedal began going all the way to the floor after 10,000 miles. Dealer has replaced the master cylinder and module (twice), as well as bleeding the lines over 4 attempts to fix. Now they are beginning to explain that this is normal behavior, even though the change was sudden and dramatic and the vehicle is obviously unsafe to drive.
Soft brakes.i have had to dealer three times.#1. Replaced brake cylinderbrakes were still soft.#2 replaced anti lock brake sensor.still soft.#3 told that honda knew of this and i was on a list so when they knew what was wrong i would be contacted.brakes are still soft.when you step on foot brake car will stop ok, but pedal will go almost to the floor board.don't know what would happen if had to panic stop.
2007 honda odyssey lx brakes do not stop vehicle quickly enough. Dangerous. My wife coasted through an intersection while applying all the pressure she could to brakes. Has been to dealer and they say honda denies there is a problem. I have read online that this vehicle has brake problems due to abs and master cylinder issues, and also due to poor stock brake pads. But honda apparently denies any issues.this vehicle is dangerous.
On march 2010 i first took the car into dealer (beaverton honda) to indicate that whenever i apply brakes going slower than 25mph there is a loud squeaking noise. They couldn't find anything wrong with it. Since then i have been back at the same dealer for same issue now for the 6th time. And on last friday (sep. 2010) when i went for a test drive with technician i was able to duplicate the issue and he said he knew of the issue and likely to be coming from rear. When i picked up the car they said that they adjusted the parking brake as per tech line service article from june 2009 but the noise was still there. Hence honda tech lined informed the dealer that it's a known issue and they are working on it and if there is a fix they will notify me. Unfortunately, whatever they did on friday made it 10x worse as now it's happening 90-95% of the time. Even when i am let go of the brakes from stop and then apply the brakes going 1-2mps it makes that awful noise. So i went back to the dear today. They just called me and told me they think that replacing the front brake pads and the front rotors should fix it but no guarantees since honda tech line says this is a known problem. The same dealer about a moth and half ago (6/23/2010) told me that replacing all front/back break pads will fix the issue but it didn't. So now within 1.5 months they want to replace the front break pads along with the front rotors and they are not guaranteeing it will fix the issue. I have called american honda on opened a case as this is unacceptable and my wife says she won't drive the car until it's fixed. This issue started after they applied the safety recall on the 2007 odyssey regarding "soft brakes".just before they applied that safety recall the dealer had also found my front brake rotors were prematurely wrapped and resurfaced it under warranty. Thus, it seems there is a continued issue with this model year of honda odyssey.

I was driving in the highway at approximately 30 mph and accelerating when suddenly my minivan brakes by itself. It was like someone else was controlling the brake pedal for me. It was horrifying. It pulled over and waited until i was ok to drive again. I continue driving and again when i was accelerating the brake pedal went all the way down and braked to almost a complete stop. I decided to keep on driving to get to the nearest safest place to park and call for assistance and the same thing happened two more times until i parked and turned off the vehicle. I had to call for a relative assistance getting back home because i was driving with my three children and i didn't want to endanger them. My husband took the minivan home and it didn't do it again. I haven't drive it since i'm terrified it can do it again when i'm driving in the highway at high speed and cause and accident that can be fatal to my family, other drivers and me.
Soft, spongy brake pedal.dealer replaced master cylinder, bled brakes twice on advise of tech line without noticeable improvement.brake pedal can be depressed below height of accelerator pedal, have twice caught the edge of my foot on accelerator pedal when braking causing unintended acceleration.have case open with honda office in torrance, ca...they cannot tell me if or when there will be a fix.do not have confidence in these brakes.
2007 odyssey lx had been driven for 40 minutes when we came to a red light and braked as normal.the vehicle did not stop until halfway through the intersection.fortunately, there was no accident.this vehicle has had soft brakes for a while so i have adjusted my braking, giving it a long run to stop, but this time even that wasn't enough. The honda dealer told us that the braking system is working fine!
Rear brakes make constant grinding/squeaking.known problem to honda for all 2005-2008 models of odyssey van.honda claims there is no fix, but they're aware of the issue.with the brakes making noise all the time, it makes it difficult for consumers to determine if there's actually a problem, which may lead to people ignoring actual brake issues.i own a 2007, and personally know of people with 2005 and 2006 models that have the same exact problem.in fact, everyone i meet that drives one, i ask if they have the problem and the answer is always yes.i find it amazing that honda knows about a problem that is so widespread and affects a major safety function on the vehicles, but no one does anything about it.
I own a 2007 honda odyssey and have been having problems with my brakes for some time. They feel very soft and "spongy" when i step on them; my foot sinks all the way to the floor.there have been numerous instances where i have almost hit another vehicle because the brakes do not respond. The brakes also grind very hard and sound very loud when i come to a complete stop at the bottom of a hill.also, when i try to stop or slow the van when traveling at high speeds (such as highway driving), my steering wheel vibrates violently.i have taken the van to the mechanic and have been told that my brake pads are fine (50% front, 60% rear), but that my rotors have worn prematurely.i also had problems with my power steering--i took the van in for service because i had a difficult time maneuvering the van in tight situations (parking)--it turns out that my power steering pump was not operating and needed to be replaced (at 36,267 miles)--267 miles over the honda new car warranty.
The car will not stop unless the driver exert a lot of pressure on the brake pedal. The car was brought into the dealership on multiple occasions. The dealership changed the master cylinder and stated that is the characteristic of the car for the remaining visits. Honda posted a fix on january 14, 2009 on service bulletin 07-045. The fix should be a recall because it reduces the stopping distance of the vehicle.
I bought my odyssey 2007 in nov. 2007, and it has always had a very soft pedal, meaning, you have to push the pedal far down before you even begin to stop.when i have to stop suddenly, i have to push it all the way to the floor.i live in a small town so i just don't drive close to anyone and stay away from city driving because i do not trust my brakes to stop short.it occurs every time i have to stop suddenly.if i know the stop light is going to turn, i slow down by applying the brake for a long time before it will make a complete stop.i will never buy an odyssey again and if they would do a recall, i would certainly bring it in to get it fixed.apparently, honda does not think they have a problem but it is a well known fact amongst odyssey owners!
Spongy brake pedel since car was new, and squeeky noise when applying brakes while turning, usually when car is cold. This started in oct. 2009.
The contact owns 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that whenever braking to a stop, the front brakes would travel all the way to the floorboard causing a substantial increase in braking distance and time.the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for repairs to the brake pads but to no avail.the failure mileage was 68,000.
Our 2007 honda odyssey experienced rear brake failure at 2,700 miles due to rust build-up on the rotors.they were replaced by the dealer.the rear rotors again failed at 17,820 miles and had to be resurfaced.we are concerned about the braking system and the potential for continued failure creating an unsafe condition.
Soft brake with 2007 honda odyssey. Couldn't stop the car without slamming the brake. Took back to dealer where the car was purchased and was told the brake is fine. Took it to another dealer and they bled the brake but no improvement. Honda needs to recall or refund under lemon law.
I have noticed that my brake pedal pushes down nearly to the floor when the pedal is pushed hard. I first noticed this a few weeks ago when i was waiting for traffic as i was entering the street from a parking lot. My foot was pressing down on the brake pedalbut it was also not directly on the pedal. My foot was off to the right. As the pedal pressed down harder, the same braking foot was hitting the throttle pedal thus accelerating the engine.the car brakes fine in normal traffic and operation. I am fearful that if i or someone else using the car would make a panic stop and not have their foot directly on the brake pedal that they could actually push the throttle making the car accelerate instead of stop.i showed the situation to the dealer from whom i purchased the car and it was their opinion that all is normal and that other cars like mine do the same thing.i visited another dealer and they too said the brake pedal is normal.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact experienced failures numerous times with brakes, and steering. While the brakes were applied the brake pedal extended to the floor which required him to apply additional pressure to the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The steering wheel was hard to control causing the vehicle to swerve from left to right.he had to apply additional force to the steering wheel in order to keep the vehicle in a straight line.the vehicle was taken to the dealership numerous times for the failures. The dealer removed air from the hydraulic fluid, but the repair didn't correct the brake failure. The wheels were aligned several times, but the steering failure wasn't corrected. The manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to a different dealership. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 36,000.
Driving the car the brake pedal gets very soft and the vehicle fails to stop in a normal time.this car was already serviced for honda's 2010 soft brake repair on the 2007-08 odyssey.it seems the symptoms of the original recall are still evident as this recall relates to air in the brake line over time.
Brakes failed causing a crash. We bought the vehicle brand new in 2007 and have noticed spongy, soft, hard to stop brakes from the beginning. Dealerships, we have taken it to more than one, always say it's fine, no failure, no problem can be repeated. We had the brakes replaced just in case and have had both recall jobs fixed, one just last week. This week cars stopped short in front of my husband while he was driving, he could not stop, tried to slam brakes and the van would not stop, he put the pedal to the floor and nothing. He hit the car in front of him. We have had a few problems with trying to stop short in the past but have avoided a crash before. A recall is just not enough, it didn't fix the problem for our van. Also the airbag did not deploy.
I have a honda odyssey 2009. The vehicle did not stop completely last winter approximately three times when it was completely braked.i was on a traffic light and helplessly saw my van moving towards the traffic light.eventually it stopped.however, it scared me a lot.i went and complained to dealer and he said that there is no recall notice.this problem does not happen every time.i have another problem when i apply brakes.it appears that some thing is jerking or vibrating when i brake.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that left side sliding door and the right front passenger door failed to unlock intermittently. She had to climb over to the other side or turn off the vehicle and restart it to get out the vehicle. Additionally, she noticed repeated problems with the steering; the vehicle would not hold an alignment and would drift to the side. Also, periodically, there was a grinding noise when she attempted to stop, as if she were driving on gravel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership several times where the tires were rotated and alignment was performed regarding the suspension problem. The dealer also installed a seal on the door but the failure continued. In reference to the brake problem, the dealer could not duplicate the failure but did attempt repairs which did not remedy the problem. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that they could not assist her. Current mileage was approximately 36,950. The failure mileage was approximately 20,500.

2007 honda odyssey. Consumer states problem with vehicle brakes *tgwthe consumer stated the brakes emitted a squealing and grinding noise on a regular, but not constant on a basis when braking or turning. The dealer informed the consumer the brake problem had been rectified. However, the next day, the consumer noticed when he applied the brakein excess of 60 mph, the van would vibrate and shimmy. He also noticed a constant and unusually loud washing-machine-agitator type noise which became louder while riding in the middle seat area. The consumer stated the entire van vibrated so violently when he applied the brake at speeds of 60 mph and over he became extremely concerned about maintaining control of the vehicle. The consumer took the vehicle to another repair shop, where it was recommended that the rear motor mount, rotors and brakes be replaced. The consumer was also informed that one of the tires was badly worn.
I own a 2007 honda odysseyex-l.last may, i received two separate recall notices for pcm update for lock-up clutch function and for low and soft brake pedal.there was a delay in taking my van to a dealer because i was on a military deployment. My deployment ended last month and that's when i took my van to get service (recalls). A month had past since i took my van for the recall but the break problem still persist and i think it's getting worst.the breaks is very soft and the pedal is very low when i step on it.sometimes i have to pump my brakes twice just to feel the brake. I sent honda customer service a letter requesting another authorization to have my brakes check and service again.honda's solution to fix the problem did not work.the honda dealer bled, seal and cap the brake system on my van but it did not solve the problem. This issue should be look at again before someone gets hurt or lose their lives.
The rear brakes of our 2007 honda odyssey, touring has been squeaking even after it was taken to norm reeves honda of cerritos, ca.i also called honda corporation, of torrance, ca and i was advised that there's no known issues with the brakes.to this day, our odyssey still squeaks and i'm afraid that it will just be a matter of time before it fails and caused an accident with my family in it.what can i do even if the dealer / honda corporation refuse to look into the matter?please help.

He jump started the vehicle and drove it 5 mph about 100 feet and heavy smoke entered the cabin of the vehicle.he pulled over got out of the vehicle and disconnected the battery cable.the vehicle had not been repaired for the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the dealership and had repairs performed on the brakes.

He stated the brakes would go all the way to the floor.the failure and current mileage was 41,000.the consumer stated the steering would shake . But the problem was always blamed on the clutch.the dealer then turned the rotors.updated evoq 08/31/10
Recently purchased a 2007 honda odyssey, and the brakes don't work well. The pedal is very soft and not very responsive. I have never had a car that stopped so poorly. It takes twice the effort of my other car to get the van stopped. Not a very safe feeling at all. So far no incidents but in an emergency i could see a future problem developing. I did have the dealer service department look at the brakes and they said they were fine, no air in the lines. Both my wife and i agree the brakes are really bad.
The brakes on our 07 honda odyssey were spongy from day one. The person driving the van noticed the pedal even getting lower the longer it got driven. At first you would be able to stop but as time went on the pedal would almost be at the floor to accomplish braking. We took to the dealer after another odyssey van we had was almost in a wreck because of the same problem. They replaced the brake modulator, said it was leaking air internally. Seems to be fixed at this point. We bought three of these vans and two have the same problem?! no recall or notice to bring in when they have a tech bulletin for this problem?!
My 2007 honda odyssey has twice had the following problem.both times it was in conditions where the anti-lock brakes were (presumably) engaged:once coming to stop on a very wet street in rain, and the second on a very snowy, poor traction street.both times i was braking harder than usual while decelerating to come up to a stop sign/light and the abs engaged.the initial slowing was fine, no slipping, but as i decelerated through about 3-5 mph, the brakes refused to work.i pressed the pedal harder but the brakes would no longer engage.i was moving very slowly, but unable to stop (and this was not due to road surface, it was due to the brakes refusing to engage).the first time i narrowly avoided hitting the car in front of me.the second time i just continued forward halfway through the intersection.i am a commercial pilot and it felt like the antilock brakes had released, and then refused to re-engage.i tried pumping them as well.no response.the pedal still had braking feel, just no brake engagement.perhaps the abs should cut out below2 mph or some preset number and this did not happen?anyway,in those conditions, you need to be able to stop...even if you're traveling extremely slowly, being unable to stop the vehicle from entering the intersection through the red light is very dangerous.
A car pulled out in front of my honda van from a side road.we were doing speed limit of 55 mph. I applied brakes with all of my effort and van did slow down but slowly and abs never came on.if other vehicle had not retreated back on the side road, i would have hit him as we had approaching traffic in the oncoming lane.
The contact owns 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while trying to park the vehicle, she applied the brakes which did not respond or slow the vehicle which resulted in a crash. The vehicle was recently repaired under a recall for the brakes (recall 10v504000: service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: master cylinder). After the accident, the vehicle was taken into the dealer and they did inspect. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 36,000 and current mileage was 37,000.
Brake pedal in 07 honda odyssey bought new (i am the first owner) is getting progressively worse.the brake function is still okay butthere is a lot of "play" of the pedal before the brakes engage and this has been getting worse over time. There have been no accidents nor incidents so far but as a cautious driver i know that this problem is escalating. *cw
Brakes that are very soft and a hazard to driving.brake rotors that need resurfacing at 300 miles and 15,000 miles.dealer refuses to acknowledge that all of the odyssey's have a problem with soft brakes and rotors that wear out too fast.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the brakes became spongy while driving approximately 35 mph and extended to the floor more frequently. The vehicle was taken the dealer and this is the third time that vsa modular will be replaced. The failure mileage was 30,000.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.while driving approximately 35 mph on normal road conditions the driver applied pressure to the brake pedal continuously before the vehicle came to a complete stop. The failure occurred whenever the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction. The failure mileage was 1,000.
My honda odyssey 2007 has very soft brakes.the dealer first said it was normal but on the second visit is keeping the car to bleed the brakes.the pedal goes almost to the floor at times and the car takes almost 200 feet to fully stop at times.
1. Driver in stop and go traffic applied brakes to stop vehicle, however, vehicle did not stop in time and resulted in a rear-end collision. This occurred on 11/30/2009.2. Vehicle owner reported that when the brake pedal is depressed, there is a lack of response. Braking time and distance became significantly longer than normal. This problem was first observed by the vehicle owner on 11/27/2009, however, the driver was able to stop in time on that date, and the vehicle then functioned normally until the collision that occurred on 11/30/2009.3. Immediately after the accident on 11/30/2009, the vehicle owner reported that the vehicle brakes had failed to the auto insurance carrier, and took the vehicle to the dealership for a diagnosis. Upon arriving at the dealership, the service representative acknowledge that honda was aware of the braking issue, and even though the vehicle was out of warranty, they offered to cover the repair at 90% and instructed the owner to collect the remaining 10% of the cost directly from honda. The dealership diagnosis was that the abs module was leaking air into the brake system. All other braking components were operational. The dealership replaced the abs module, and bled the brake system to remedy the problem. The old parts were disposed of by the dealership prior to insurance carrier being aware of issue.service records indicate that the vehicle owner had vehicle braking system maintenance completed on 8/19/2009 at the same dealership.
Brake pedal goes halfway to floor before it starts slowing down.service manager at red river honda in denison,tx said that the abs modulewas bypassing. They replaced it twice with no improvement. I was then told by the service manager that hondasseemed to have weak brakes.
2007 honda odyssey brake problems.only have 34,000 and the brakes are making the steering wheel shake.feels like the car will not stop.took car into dealer & was told to much mountain driving.(has not been in the mountains.) they machined the rotors and replaced brake pads.the rotors were wrapped to do excessive heat.we were also told that this is a heavy vehicle and that is just what the brakes do.after 10 days from the repair the right front brake is already starting to make a rubbing noise.i have had a lot of cars in the past that have had mountain miles and towing miles on the car & have never had such brake problems.
Brake is not working properly even dealer has been changed abs module twice. The last time in service to seal the air leaked into abs module as recall but it won't help. Brake is still soft and not stop as driver desired. This van has beenin 3 different dealers and 5th in john eagle honda in houston tx. Dealer couldn't fix this issue.
I was driving my 2007 honda odyssey.as i was coming to a stop, i became involved in an accident.over the recent weeks i thought it was taking longer to stop my van, but had my van in for service the week before.i was assure that everything was fine and all fluid levels were correct. ***note:on my first service visit the service adviser told me that i should not be concerned about brake fluid levels that the van would notify me when it was time to replace the breaks and that the van was designed to do so.the police were called to the scene of the accident.i could not explain the accident and the officer coaxed me in to saying that i had been distracted.i was in shock.my son was in the car with me and i could not think much of anything else other than whether he was safe. I believe i had come to a complete stop then hit the vehicle in front of me.my airbags did not deploy.ever since the accident i have continued to notice that i must press the brake pedal all the way to the floor at times to stop the van and other times i don't in normal driving circumstances.all along i had believed the dealership that everything was fine with my vehicle.now i have damages to pay and a ticket i am facing as a result of what i believe to be break failure.i will be making a follow-up report with my local police department, faxing a copy other similar break failure complaints to my insurance company, contacting honda and hopefully will be able to get some answers on the problem with my van.
At 21,000 mi. Front vibration when brakes applied while driving.told brake rotor was warped and needed to be turned. Had the work done.at 30194mi noticed front vibration again at 65mph breaking. This occurred after the soft brake recall was performed. I was told again that the brake rotors needed to be turned again.told my driving was the most likely cause.van is used to drive 1.5 miles to and from work and highway driving in non-rush hour times.was told the 1.5 mi. Drive each day was considered hard driving by honda and most likely cause of rotor warp.
Spongy brakes.sometimes an issue stopping where the brakes are completely depressed.the brakes feel very soft.the car has been brought to honda for a check on the brakes.we were told that all the brakes are that way on the minivans.
Occasional brake problem. Spongy braking and difficult to stop effectively. Mostly happened in first 15 mins driving.
Refpe09024 and ea09014 for honda odyssey 2007- soft brakes required multiple dealer service to check for low pedal.last visit with district rep from honda prompted service to fix agreed to low pedal problem.fix was an improvement but brakes remain soft and at times on a long downward hill, brakes can still slowly sink to floor.pumping of brakes is then required to restore pedal height.i will not allow other persons to drive this car because of this risk.honda did a fix on jan 09 to ea09014 with improved height but problem still exists with soft pedal and drop on rare occasions.owner frustration has prevented further acton until this opportunity.
2007 honda odysseyabs braking system is soft with low pedal.difficult to stop the vehicle at times, frequent problems for last several monthsdealer said: faulty abs modulator, repair cost: 1200 usd.
On going intermittent grinding noise and diminished performance of brakes.grinding noise very pronounced.total mileage under 10,000 and very lightly used.issue is shared by numerous other honda odyssey owners as indicated by nearly identical description of issue on many online-forum entries.this is of high concern for the safety of my family!thank you.
On 12/26/07, i had a very bad accident hitting 2 cars and all of the air bags in our new 07 honda odyssey deployed.my wife was in the car, i was driving and we were exiting the highway with the cruise control on and turned onto the off ramp when the brakes completely failed; i stepped on the brakes repeatedly and they were so soft they went completely to the floor board and the car would not stop and the cruise control would not turn off.the ramp was about 100 yards long, so we would have had plenty of time to stop if the brakes worked.the ramp was uphill and because the cruise control did not go off, the car started to accelerate and we were going faster and faster up the off ramp.we had no previous warning and did not experience any problem with the brakes prior. At the top of the ramp was a light that stopped traffic on the road, we were the first off the highway onto the ramp and because i could not stop, we reached the light (green) for us, crossed over a median and hit two cars on other side waiting for light to change and crashed.i could not turn due to the speed and we would have rolled if i did.every air bag in our ody deployed, the seat belts held us back and fortunately we were not hurt.driver of one of the cars wastaken to the hospital; unsure of her injuries.after 7 months of our car being repaired, the car was taken to a honda dealer who finally tested the car and brakes and determined that the abs/vsa modulator circuit needed to be replaced under warranty and brake lines had air in them. They replaced the assembly, bled the brake hydraulic system. There is definitely a problem with the 2007 odyssey brakes.we had taken the car into dealer for oil change and checkup just 2 days before accident happened.our brakes went out with absolutely no warning whatsoever -- we or someone else could have been killed, as the accident was bad.thecar was repaired, rather than being totaled at time of accident.
2007 honda odyssey brake pedal travels too far (when you first get into the odyssey and press down on the brake pedal, it will go to the floor) and it is soft/mushy.[this issue was present before the recall earlier this year, and is still an issue since the recall repair was made.]this becomes an issue when i drive a different vehicle which has a "normal" hard brake pedal and requires much more force to stop the vehicle.i get used to the soft/mushy pedal and don't react soon enough to stop what i call "normal" brake pedal in other vehicles.i vote for a standard brake pedal pressure requirement so when a person drives different vehicles there isn't the hazard of not pressing down hard enough on the brake pedal because one gets used to a very soft pedal in the honda odyssey.
Brakes with soft pedal and front noise. Problem was first taken to the dealership on 02-02-08. Through research from contacts at honda i found out that they are having a problem with a proportioning valve or abs modulator. The flaw is allowing air to get into the brake lines causing soft pedal and decreased performance. It appears that most of the air in the lines is affecting the rear brakes performance. I'm experiencing very hot front brakes and i feel this is causing glazing and the noise. I first noticed the problem around the 4,000 mile range. Honda has a technical bulletin in their system with instructions for bleeding the system in an attempt to correct the problem. They are also recommending the replacement of this valve/unit also. In my case, i'm still experiencing a problem with soft brake pedal and front brake noise. I have filed a 'lemon law" claim for my vehicle with the bbb and honda. I can provide copies of these technical bulletins upon request. I have also done a "google" search for honda brake problems and i have found numerous others with the same exact issues on the postings i found.
The brakes on the vehicle feel squishy and soft, especially after the car has been driven for a while.for example, coming to a stop last wednesday at a red light, the brake pedal continued traveling until it almost touched the floor as the vehicle came to a stop.this is not the first time it has happened.i have adjusted my braking to account for longer travel of the pedal but this time it just seemed a little too long.i took it to the dealer today at tarrytown honda, explained the problem along with the honda service bulletin 07-045 that might be applicable and they said everything was normal.such a long pedal travel for braking just doesn't feel normal in general but it may be that it is normal for this vehicle.in that case, all owners should be properly informed so that they can adjust their braking habits and expectations.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle made a loud noise.the transmission was replaced twice within six months.when attempting to stop the vehicle, it skips from first to third gear, causing the vehicle to lunge forward.the contact noticed that when applying pressure to the brake pedal, the pedal extends all the way down to the floor and causes the vehicle to vibrate excessively.as a result, the stopping distance is increased.she took the vehicle back to the dealer and they replaced the brake rotor, which did not remedy the failure.the manufacturer did not assist.the failure mileage was 1,500.
I purchased a new 2007 honda odyssey in june of 2007.from the day i took it off the lot i was concerned with the squishy/soft brake pedal.i asked the dealer to look at the vehicle regarding this problem, and they did.they also said that nothing is wrong with the vehicle.i believe this is a real safety concern and feel that honda should be addressing this problem and they're not.
I am getting a thud sound from the back of my 2007 odyssey mini van.we called honda and they said they have had several people come in with this. They found that there is a glazing that happens with the brakes and they said they have to grind the drums and it makes it go away for awhile.they said if the brake shoes are ok it would run about $200.00.this is crazy if they have a problem with the brakes other than wear and tear they should fix it for free.i have put two sets of brakes on this van since i bought it and i have never had brakes go so fast.i believe they have a very poor design.if i had not bought the extended warranty i would have been out 1000 of dollars with all the problem this 2007 honda has had.if i had it to do over again i would not buy another honda.the windshield whistles, the transmission part had to be replaced, the compressor melted, the battery went dead on a trip before a year was up. The bearings in the wheels went bad.the axle went bad. The right rear door motor went bad.the left rear door will open part way and shut.all in all honda has gone down hill.$37,000 and its a piece of junk.thank god other than the brakes the dealer has been very very good and has fixed everything at least once.
2007 honda odyssey with defective brakes system. Consumer states that air may enter the brake systems modulator.the consumer stated he finally received a recall notice regarding the brakes after three years of experiencing problems.the vehicle has been to the dealer six times for brake issues. On may 7, 2009 the consumers wife was unable to stop the vehicle, and consequently she had an accident. She was traveling at a low rate of speed and yet the brakes were unresponsive.

Purchased a new 2007 honda odyssey ex-l.van is experiencing "soft brakes", i.e. Have to brake hard as if brake pads are low since delivery of van from burns honda, nj.
Brakes are too soft/mushy.brakes don't work properly most of the time.it takes increasing pressure to stop vehicle.sometimes the vehicle lurches forward after it stops which causes you to be out in intersections, past stop signs and possibly hit another vehicle.on friday june 6, 08 the brakes failed again, this time at 60-65 mph.another vehicle driving too fast swerving in & out of traffic pulled in front of methat required me to brake in order to avoid another accident.when pressure applied the vehicle did not slow down until brake pedal nearly touched the floor.w/ some great defensive driving an accident was avoided.a recent test drive by the dealership and they were unable to recreate the brakes problem.upon taking the keys back, i had to depress the brake pedal nearly to the floor in order to shift into drive.iput the vehicle in park and returned to the service mgr to have him go on a test drive w/ me.he refused.i asked him 4x's to please test drive it with me driving.he said that he drove the vehicle, the district somebody drove the vehicle as well as a technician.he again stated nothing wrong w/ brakes. I left the dealership with the following information : 10dpsm/sm drove vehicle testing brakes.competed panic stops at 40 mph, 20 mph.brakes operated as designed.tech drove vehicle while testing brakes and pedal stiffness.panic stops at 10, 20, 30, 40 & 45 mph.swerve side to side to test vsa as well.all systems operate as designed. I want to note that only 11.5 miles were put on the van during their "test" of it .they did not test it under my normal driving conditions. I don't feel the vehicle was adequately test driven. The brakes will work off an on, but the longer it is driven and the more the brakes are used during that drive, the less reliable they become.honda refuses to acknowledge that there may be problems with the brakes on their 2007 model vans despite all the info sent to them from the nhsta site.
While parking at daycare, turn into parking spot, brakes fail.brakes are pumped to the floor 5 times before hitting a large boulder causing major damage to suspension and frame.also, airbags did not deploy, yet seatbelt locked in place.dealer is doing repair since there is potential safety issue with the brakes.however after 55 days, still waiting for return of vehicle.turns out computer regulating airbags failed as well.2 defects that if the brakes had failed just 3 minutes sooner would no doubt have been a fatal accident on an interstate highway.
2007 honda lx brake pedal is soft and variable when applied.sometimes it 'brakes' near the top of the pedal, sometimes in the middle of the push of the pedal, and has on several occasions gone inexplicably to within 1/2 inch of the floor.

I am a mechanic at a school district and we have purchased 3 2007 odyssey vans. We are experiencing soft brakes on all three vans. One of the vans had a complaint of hard stopping i.e. Too long of distance. Upon test driving the van i did notice that the brakes were very mushy. I drove one of the other new vans and pretty much the same thing, mushy brakes. I took van to the dealer and they tried to reproduce problem which they must of because they had for 3 days and were trying to figure out how to fix the problem. They tried bleeding the brakes etc. They ended up replacing the master cylinder. Upon the return of the van i noticed an improvement in pedal feel but the brakes still feel too mushy. You aren't sure where the stopping point or i should say the application point comes into play.
This complaint is about the raybestos's advanced technology rotors (model #980290) that i brought at o'reilly auto part store and installed on my 2007 honda odyssey in 06/26/2011.last week on 06/23/2013 while inspecting the pulsation issues, i found fine cracks on both rotors.with curiosity i searched "raybestos rotor cracks" over the internet and i found the brake rotor safety public awareness published at the raybestos site.based on the information from raybestos, certain imported brake rotors including raybestos brand have this issue.i checked the box and found the rotors were made in china. Their site provided nhtsa link to file complaint.

Very hard transmission downshift upon slowing the van.after downshift the van has a sharp jerk and seems to have to catch the transmission before going into a lower gear.transmission has been replaced twice since purchased new an may 28, 2007. Now dealer and honda factory service rep is saying this is a "normal characteristic" of this van, even after replacing the transmission twice for the same issue.the first new transmission was at 3321 miles and second was at 12,281 miles.brakes:sloppy and weak brakes since purchase.rotors turned and pad replaced at 166 miles, three days after buying new.still soft and vibrating upon stopping.dealer says this is also normal. Between the transmission and brake problems, we do not feel that this is a safe van for our children to ride in. American honda has been more than uncooperative.there is a very dangerous defect with this van and we are afraid to drive it.

Consumer states ongoing problem/defect with a honda odyssey concerning front wheels wobbling and vehicle jerking *tgwthe consumer stated the wobble from the front wheels was most noticeable at low speed turns. The consumer stated when he hit the slightest bump, the wobble could be felt in the steering wheel. After turning a corner, and the steering wheel was released, the steering wheel returned to straight forward with a series of jerks. The dealer was unable to provide a remedy even though there were complaints from other customers. The consumer stated he returned to the dealer regarding problems with the brakes.the service writer informed the consumer there was a weakness in the hydraulic brake system and the master cylinder would have to be replaced.

Honda odyssey 2007 exl: brake pedal is soft requiring pressing almost to the bottom to stop the car. Dealer did replace master cylinder but no difference, the same scary feeling especially on a highway.couple times i even manage to press brake and accelerator pedals at the same time while trying to stop a car. The first time it happened (it was in canada and road was slippery)i had to use parking brake to stop a car.
Brakes have a very soft and spongy feeling.brakes have to be depressed almost to the floor to stop the vehicle.you have to allow extra distance in order to stop the vehicle.once stopped with brakes applied,vehicle will lurch forward.
My 2007 honda odyssey brakes are too soft, i'm not confident about the brakes from the day i bought the vehicle, i need to put extra pressure to bring the vehicle to a stop. Brakes have to be depressed all the way to the floor to stop and almost avoid rear ending couple of times. Took it to the dealer, they bleed the system and said it ok, but i don't see any difference, its really very unsafe with these kind of brakes. I see lot of owners are having the same problems , please act immediately.i bought this vehicle for my kids and i no longer feel safe to drive this vehicle with my kids.
The brake is way too soft.
We currently have around 7,000 miles on a 2007 and there has been an ongoing issue with the odyssey's braking system. The brakes have a very soft feel and need to be depressed at least 3/4 of the way for the brakes to feel like they are biting. The brakes have always had a relatively soft feeling to them and it has caused some dicey situations where you need to attempt to swerve around another vehicle since there is a definite lack of confidence when you need to induce a panic stop. Occasionally the brakes will have a little chatter to them which you can feel in the brake pedal. We haven't pegged this directly to the load of the vehicle or hot brakes/brake pads, but we are currently in the process of getting this issue looked into with our dealer.
Brakes sometimes seem inadequate to stop the vehicle -- have rolled through stop signs or red lights when attempting to stop.intermittent problem --don't know when excessive pedal pressure wil be required.

Steering is stiff and hard to turn in slow driving while parking or turning.vsa sign is always on.
2007 honda odyssey ex-l: power steering issuesthere is no power steering assist when parking and moving at low speeds.once you are moving at a slightly higher speed, it kicks in, but until then, it is as if you are driving with no power steering.power steering pump has been replaced multiple times.this is clearly a safety issue, as one can never tell whether there will be power steering or not.
2007 honda odyssey- for the past 6-8 months at slow speeds when parking and turning, the power steering appears to quit working. When you get up to speed the problem goes away. This makes it difficult to exit the roadway from a dead stop and almost impossible to park or leave a parking spot. I fear being rear ended or worse. Local dealer "knows of no problems reported". Vehicle is out of warranty (46,000 miles).
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact experienced failures numerous times with brakes, and steering. While the brakes were applied the brake pedal extended to the floor which required him to apply additional pressure to the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The steering wheel was hard to control causing the vehicle to swerve from left to right.he had to apply additional force to the steering wheel in order to keep the vehicle in a straight line.the vehicle was taken to the dealership numerous times for the failures. The dealer removed air from the hydraulic fluid, but the repair didn't correct the brake failure. The wheels were aligned several times, but the steering failure wasn't corrected. The manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to a different dealership. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 36,000.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.the contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the power steering failed and the steering wheel became hard to turn.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the power steering pump and the reservoir needed to be replaced.the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem.the approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

Power steering pump failing on 2007 honda odyssey 50,000 miles. Have done some internet research and apparently this is a wide spread problem with this model year.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle became difficult to steer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the power steering pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. Updated 02/11/14*lj
Power steering is non-existent at parking speeds.while parking, turning or maneuvering at very slow speeds, the only way to turn the car is to "muscle" the steering wheel around.power steering engages as speed increases.mentioned numerous times to dealer and they claim that is the way a van drives.this is my 3rd odyssey and none has ever driven this way.so many problems with this van and lack of manufacturer response will make this my last honda.
Power steering failure at low speeds.reported to honda in 2010.they replaced the reservoir but never fixed the problem.now honda is refusing to address the issue.
Strong pulling/drifting to right.driver must use constant strength to keep car driving straight or will end up in the next lane within about 6 seconds.can be more difficult than usual to keep van steering straight when looking over shoulder to switch lanes.have accidentally pulled close to others, causing them to honk for fear we were coming into their lane next to them.had van in to dealership 4 times and they will only check tire position, brand, tread, and alignment and have not fixed the problem.hundreds of others talking about this problem online with same lack of fix from dealers.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that left side sliding door and the right front passenger door failed to unlock intermittently. She had to climb over to the other side or turn off the vehicle and restart it to get out the vehicle. Additionally, she noticed repeated problems with the steering; the vehicle would not hold an alignment and would drift to the side. Also, periodically, there was a grinding noise when she attempted to stop, as if she were driving on gravel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership several times where the tires were rotated and alignment was performed regarding the suspension problem. The dealer also installed a seal on the door but the failure continued. In reference to the brake problem, the dealer could not duplicate the failure but did attempt repairs which did not remedy the problem. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that they could not assist her. Current mileage was approximately 36,950. The failure mileage was approximately 20,500.
The condition was first noticed shortly after aquiring the vehicle in a parking lot while trying to negotiate a turn. The vehicle steering was normal at first and then suddenly required excessiveforce to turn the steering wheel. Heavy braking was required to avoid a collision with another vehicle. Immediately following this experience, after getting the vehicle to a safe location, i attempted to turn the steering wheel both directions while stopped and at low speeds, (approximately 0-10 mph) and noticed the condition consistantly for approximately 2-3 minutes. I then parked the vehicle. I checked the fluid level and it was within the min and max levels. After returning to the vehicle later that day, the steering was functioning normally. The condition has since come and gone several times (approximately 1-2 times / week) and my honda dealer has just shrugged it off saying that if i can't reproduce the problem while at their shop, there's nothing they can do. I had the same issue with a 2006 honda odyssey and the dealer refused to do anything about it even while under warranty. After doing some research, i have found that there are technical service bulletinsissued by honda to their dealers for this exact issue, but the dealer still refuses to correct the problem. The safety issue arrises especially when someone unfamiliar with the vehicle drives it as when my mother used my van to transport my three children. When attempting to pull our into traffic she was unable to keep the vehicle in her lane. Fortunately the other driver was able to avoid her.i understand that vehicle components are not designed to last forever and i do not have a problem with repairs. However, this is a known issue from the manufacturer which they are very reluctant to correct.date & mileage are approximate.
Power steering issue on 2007 honda odyssey.no power steering ability in parking, k turn or parallel park.faster speeds it kicks in, slower speeds you have to muscle it through.told by honda service department that no recall to date, need to replace pump and reservoir.it's only 3 yrs old... This is not a normal wear and tear item. Google resulted in several consumer complaints on power steering.although it did not cause an accident it is certainly a manufacturing defect.please research further.
Tough to steer! when moving it is little okay to maneuver still hard but manageable.with all these complaints on this same steering power issue i was surprise honda didn't recall for this manufacturer defect and fix the issue.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the steering wheel made a loud winding noise whenever he was driving at a highway speed of approximately 60 mph.when the contact was driving in the city, the steering wheel didn't make noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they were unable to duplicate the failure. The honda manufacturer was called and stated that there was no related warranty or recall and to take it back to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer more than one time and theystill cannot duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 14,998.
Approx 10/2/13 was driving on a road i travel frequently and was accelerating when suddenly my car lost power and slowed rapidly.i thought it was a fluke then on 10/11/13 i was driving a road i travel on daily when suddenly my car slowed by about 30 mph in just a few seconds.i put my foot on the brake and realized it was already engaged and was why i was slowing down.10/16/13 - car went to dealer to be repaired.dealer found source codes dtc 26-1 lateral acc sensor, and dtc 27-1 steering angle sensor but could not replicate and told me they did not know what the fix was.10/17/13 - was driving on the same road as on 10/11 - clanging/grating sound in steering column and then brakes engaged, was accelerating slowly prior to this.slowed down almost to a stop, then slowly accelerated again. Within a quarter of a mile it happened again (was driving slower at this time b/c i was worried it would happen again), this time the triangle w/ the exclamation point on it flickered (this is the first time it came on, all other times no lights or anything).taking it back to dealer tomorrow but unless it happens to them was told there was nothing they could do. Repeatedly told them of the investigation but they said they don't know the fix.thankfully no one was behind me during these occurrences but if they had there would have been an accident due to how fast the car decelerated.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While drivingapproximately 5 mph the power steering failed. The contact stated the failure only occurred at low speeds and was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technicians stated the power steering pump and reservoir needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.updated 2/9/2012
2007 honda odyssey expower steering loss at low speeds (less than 10mph) especially when pulling in/out of a parking spot or doing a 3-point turn. Also humming can be heard when steering at low speeds but it went away after i took the van to the dealership for the 60,000 mile scheduled maintenance service. I guess when they flushed the steering fluid and replaced it with new one it fixed the humming problem, but not the loss of power. There are a lot of complaints about this and i don't understand why honda is not doing anything to fix the problem. I also had several recalls fixed recently but none of them is about the steering problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.while making a left turn at approximately 10 mph on normal road conditions, the contact heard an extremely loud noise coming from the steering column.he experienced difficulty steering the vehicle.there were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.the vehicle has not been repaired.the vin and failure mileage were unknown.the current mileage was 48,000.
2007 honda odyssey.when at a slow speed, the power steering pump may not be operating at power and you lose almost all, if not all power steering assist. It has nearly caused an accident for me turning into driveways and parking spaces multiple times already (at least 3 incidents that were near-misses).upon reporting the issue to honda, it was difficult to duplicate in a limited test and i was simply told that was "normal" in my vehicle.there are dozens of reports with over a hundred people just in one internet forum for honda odyssey owners and this is apparently an issue with 2006 through 2009 models, and possibly even 2010 models. Honda has reportedly replaced power steering pumps, power steering fluid reservoirs, and a few other components for those who had warranties, although it appears the issue remains or is only resolved until 10k - 20k miles later when it resurfaces.
Noticed a ticking noise around the steering wheel when driving in the a.m.for over a year. Have had issues with steering while pulling into tight spots or sharp turns fora while. Have always equate it to bad tires (which was recently replaced) or low tire pressure. On a visit to honda for another repair, had asked them to look into the noise issue. Was told that the power steering pump was bad. Had to pay for repair. Was informed that it has nothing to do with the power steering reservoir that was covered under warranty. Does not makes sense that we've had this issue for well over a year that it's not a part issue.can not recall when the steering was ever as good as it is once the pump was replaced.
Honda odyssey.after approximately 30 minutes of driving, the power steering pump whines, buzzes or hums.honda issued a bulletin (honda service bulletin 07-005 applicable to all 05-07 and some 08 vans) stating the power steering pump reservoir is defective, requiring a new pump, filter and fluid. However, they will only provide replacement if under warranty.my concern is the metal shaving or other particles my impact the steering and cause the driver to loose control.
Very strong gas smell
Steering wheel is hard to turnat low speeds, while driving at low speeds, it is hard. Especially while driving in or exiting from a parking lot spot. There is not enough assist from the power steering pump.
This is a known issue with the honda odyssey.the pump had been replaced 1 month into owning the van.then it was replaced under recall because of the same issue and not it is doing it again.>100k miles but it had been reported multiple time and the issue could not be reproduced.it is a time issue.the more you drive it the worse it gets.there is a noise and the steering is hard.at low speed you can not turn(parking lots) or it is very hard to turn.when they drive it in the parking lot they would not get the noise.honda told me to prove that the van was in the shop for an issue(they purge their records every 3 years).this is a known issue make them fix it...
I own a 2007 honda odyssey and have been having problems with my brakes for some time. They feel very soft and "spongy" when i step on them; my foot sinks all the way to the floor.there have been numerous instances where i have almost hit another vehicle because the brakes do not respond. The brakes also grind very hard and sound very loud when i come to a complete stop at the bottom of a hill.also, when i try to stop or slow the van when traveling at high speeds (such as highway driving), my steering wheel vibrates violently.i have taken the van to the mechanic and have been told that my brake pads are fine (50% front, 60% rear), but that my rotors have worn prematurely.i also had problems with my power steering--i took the van in for service because i had a difficult time maneuvering the van in tight situations (parking)--it turns out that my power steering pump was not operating and needed to be replaced (at 36,267 miles)--267 miles over the honda new car warranty.
Dera sir:we bought this vehicle (honda odyssey, 2007) in may 2007 in michigan. Since last 18 months, we have been experiencing serious issues with this vehicle. One issue was power steering (not able to maneuvering), i went tohonda. They changed the power steering unit twice in the last 12 months (i purchased extenede warranty, otherwise it would have been an expensive thing for me). Again, i had same issue this week, then i went tohonda. They mentioned "right side inner and outer tie rods loose and were completely worn out". They did mentiioned to me that it is dangaerous to drive this vehicle. They kept my vehicle overnight and installed a new part. I believe there is serious flaws in the design of this particle year model.today i am experienceing different problem, shaking engine at 40 mph. They did update the software but still there is problem in this vehicle. I apreciate if nha would take a look into this matter. I almost spent more than $10000 on this vehicle and i realized i bought a piece of junk from honda which i thought was a reliable maker.

Making a long winding and loud sound when turning the steering wheel at slow speed particularly at stationary position. Another issue is, it is very hard to turn either to the left or right like it is not equipped with power steering at all.
2007 honda odyssey steering continually pulls to the left when at speeds over 50 mph.issue has been occurring for three years, since i bought the van new from honda dealership.issues has not been corrected or recognized to date by the manufacturer.
Loss of power steering & difficulty turning steering wheel.paint on top of the roof has begun to fade.had to replace oil pan because of lug nut damage to pan.according to the mechanic damaged was caused to the oil pan due to the quality of metal within the lug nut that is of harsher material than the oil pan.therefore, it caused damage to the oil pan that required us to have an immediate oil pan replacement during a routine oil change.
There is no power steering in the vehicle at low speeds. Steering wheel extremely hard to turn. I have noticed you loose the power steering when turning into a parking spot or driving at low speeds (kids carpool lane). I feel that this is a safety issue because if you do not have a lot of arm strength (which a lot is needed to control car) you will not be able to control the vehicle if needed in these situations. This can be very dangerous if a vehicle cannot be controlled. The vehicle also makes a very loud noise when turning the steering wheel when the weather is cold.
Vsa light came on then the car will not go over 2000 rpms and the steering gets hard. The brakes go to floor making hard brake feel. This happened on the interstate.
The vehicle is hard to steer when starting from parked position or at low speeds. This makes the vehicle hard to maneuver into a parking space, parallel park, or to pull out from a parked position.
Very hard to steer. It suddenly stopped smooth operation and remained hard since mar 10th, 2014. Looks like the power steering stopped working. Feel like driving a big truck and apply a lot of power to steer. It becomes tough when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. When moving it is little okay to maneuver (still hard but manageable). I would like honda to recall for a manufacturer defect and fix the issue.
Honda 2007 with brokenrack and pinion with a strong hard sound upon steering wheel either to the right or left and leakage of motor oil due to failure of seal gasket.the car dealer is asking permission to american honda so that part could be replace and it will take 2 weeks for an answer(ridicule) and meanwhile i am driving the vehicle.
Power steering loss at low speeds.
2007 honda odyssey: car continually pulls to the left during all speeds. Corrects itself after steering hard right (drives straight). When i then turn left, car retains "memory steer" and continues to pull to the left. Had car into honda service five times. Changed a tire, did alignment, they never noticed pull, etc. Tired of repeat visits to honda without results. Many other published complaints with similar issue by others.
Many times, the 2007 odyssey will pull to the left .i constantly need to fight the steering wheel to keep the car straight.i have almost hit other cars because of the steering problem.i have brought the car to honda twice and had it aligned twice, had the tires rotated and test driven twice with no help.the car continues to pull to the left.i have read on the internet, that other odyssey owners have similar complaints.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that when attempting to turn the steering wheel, the wheel would become resistant and the contact experienced great difficulty in turning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the issue. The failure mileage was unavailable and the current mileage was 62,891.
I've been having problems for years with the power steering but it has gotten worse.now i see honda extended the warranty but i was never notified.i bought my van brand new.i should have been notified.i have trouble parking and turning at low speeds, the power steering locks up and makes it feel as though i have no power steering when turning.the recall should have been offered to all owners.
Have chronically reported excessive force needed to turn steering wheel at low speeds.correction: honda is requesting that i flush power steering pump and change the reservoir.
Last fall my power steering would go out when i was decelerating or reversing started to be difficult to turn.the van would make a terrible noise when idling and you would turn the vehicle and i noticed it seemed to only be when the weather was cold.i had an auto shop evaluate it and flush it as well as place a dye to see if it was leaking and it wasn't.i went in for a recall just recently and the dealership stated i should just replace the power steering pump even though they don't know what's wrong with it.this is a known problem as multiple online consumer complaint sites have listed this problem.my concern is that if i have to drive in icy conditions to which i will have to decelerate i will have problems with steering which is not safe for myself, my children and other drivers.
Power steering pump went out making it hard to turn.it started with an occasional ticking noise and then gradually got harder to make turns.no more ticking noise now just hard to turn.i have actually screamed like someone power lifting trying to get into a parking space!
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While driving approximately 14 mph while making a right or left turn the power steering made a groaning noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the failure and she was advised that the power steering assembly and power steering pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure occurred for one month. The failure was constant.the approximate failure mileage was 44,000 and the current mileage was 45,000.updated 5/9/11 updated 05/18/11
2007 honda odyssey ex-l: purchased new from dealer, had problem with pulling to the left from the first days we owned it.we returned to the dealer who insisted it was normal and gave various reasons (torque, road crown, nothing at all).have had new tires, including replacing one that bald badly on the outside by 20,000 miles.have had multiple alignments.honda insists no issue, all within normal limits.car always pulls to the left unless we're driving on a heavily crowned road in the right lane.causes driver fatigue and has sometimes been a safety issue.this is a problem that is discussed over and over on various websites, including lots of do-it-yourselfers who have had good success with a very simple realignment of strut bearings.i can't believe a reputable company such as honda could allow this safety issue to continue unaddressed.please investigate this matter; there are many complaints already about this issue on the nhtsa forum.honda does not even acknowledge that this is an issue.
2007 honda odyssey pulls hard right after right turn and hard left after left turn. This is a major driving hazard as the vehicle has the potential to pull off the road very quickly or into other vehicles if the steering is not constantly corrected.i bought a used cpo honda odyssey in august of 2010, and we noticed this pulling problem right off the lot. On a flat surface after a right or left turn, the vehicle will change lanes in 3 seconds if not corrected. We have taken this vehicle to the dealership 2 times, and they tried many things to no avail (tire rotations, alignment, tire deflations, etc...). I asked them to check the suspension and struts because a person posted an unofficial fix online that deals with improperly aligned struts that worked. The service advisor claimed that they removed the struts and the problem was fixed. However, the problem is not fixed, and actually the problem seems worse now. I am pretty sure they did not remove the struts at all since i requested to see the struts when they were removed and they did not show them to me at all. The service advisor and two technicians experienced this problem when they rode along on test drives with me, but the are claiming that the issue well within the specs defined by honda. They continue to exclaim that there is nothing else they can do. There has to be a way to fix this, but it seems that they do not want to spend the money to fix the problem properly.my concern is that this is a major safety hazard, and i am worried that my family of five may be involved in a catastrophic accident because the pulling problem is so bad.please help my family and all the other honda odyssey owners who are having this pulling / alignment problem get a proper fix by issuing a recall that requires honda to confess to the issue officially and fix the problem once and for all before something catastrophic happens.
The power steering pump in my honda odyssey 2007 is poorly constructed. It was giving me trouble since the beginning, but recently, the steering wheel is very hard to turn and it often gets stuck. I took it to my local midas for investigation and they are estimating the repairs due to the power steering pump needs to be replaced. The estimated charge for repair is about $870. Honda says that it's eligible for a recall repair until 2014, but they did not send me a letter or notification regarding the recall. When american honda was contacted, they asked me to contact the service manager in my local dealership because the dealership is supposed to inform me about the recall. I called the service manager but no reply received. I am driving a unsafe vehicle with two small children and i cant afford such costly repairs.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling 35 mph, the contact drove through a puddle of water.

I would like to file a complaint regarding the 2007 model year for the honda odyssey. The car currently pulls to the right while driving on flat ground. There is a current issue with the way the plant assembled the struts and we are not the only ones who have been affected as i have looked online and found other drivers affected by the issue as well.
The power steeringdoes not circulating properly when the weather is cold below 20 degrees. Hard to control the steering. You may have to let the engine warm to avoid the hard steering
Have had extensive issues from honda of america and local dealerships regarding the status of the odyssey's safety. This van has had issues since new that honda has consistently attempted to avoid dealing with. Vehicle at low speeds has suddenly heavy and troublesome steering affected steering response and vehicle direction when turning.brake pedal feel when slowing in any forward/reverse direction is unresponsive increasing stopping distance and affecting emergency maneuvers. Dealership/ honda has not and will not accept liability!
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While driving at 45 mph and making a left or right turn, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver and the contact heard an abnormal noise.

Consumer states ongoing problem/defect with a honda odyssey concerning front wheels wobbling and vehicle jerking *tgwthe consumer stated the wobble from the front wheels was most noticeable at low speed turns. The consumer stated when he hit the slightest bump, the wobble could be felt in the steering wheel. After turning a corner, and the steering wheel was released, the steering wheel returned to straight forward with a series of jerks. The dealer was unable to provide a remedy even though there were complaints from other customers. The consumer stated he returned to the dealer regarding problems with the brakes.the service writer informed the consumer there was a weakness in the hydraulic brake system and the master cylinder would have to be replaced. The consumer learned of a recall, but records showed it was never replaced. On may 21, 2010, the modulator and sealing caps were replaced.on january 19, 2011, the dealer installed a master cylinder repair kit. The remedies showed little to no improvement. The consumer stated after not using the brakes for a few miles, he would have to pump the brakes several times, in order to stop, because the pedal would go to the floor.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.the contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph, the power steeringassist failed without warning as the steering wheel became hard to turn.

The tensioner bolt has sheared off 3 times since the serpentine belt was replaced.in both cases the car was in motion and power steering was lost making it nearly impossible to steer the car safely. Fortunately this did not happen on the highway and occurred on city streets.in all cases our mechanic used original factory parts.this is a significant safety concern for my wife and 5 children.it appears others have experienced similar problem that can be referenced on the following website.

I am a owner of honda odyssey 2007. We start to hear noise around 2008 winter after highway driving. Then, we begin to experience the difficulty to turn wheel occasionally between 2008 to 2010. In 2011, the difficulty of turning wheel become more frequent at low speed, but manageable. In june 2011, we experienced difficulty to turn wheel during a trip on highway driving. This incident made us to aware the problem of power steering pump. After searching the website, many honda odyssey owners complained the same problem and mentioned that honda installed the problematic power steering pump for their car since 2004, therefore a service bulletin 10-076 was announced by honda. Please consider a recall service from honda to protect honda owners' safety during highway driving.thanks.
The car has become increasingly hard to steer over the last two to three years to thepoint that it is almost impossible to turn it into parking spots or other areas at low speeds. My wife feels particularly unsafe about driving it like this, as she is afraid she will hit another car or object related to the inability to turn without manually overpowering the steering wheel. In checking for a recall, i noted that there are multiple other customer complaints with similar issue. Please address as possible. Thank you. For onset date, this is a gradually worsening issue. I would say that i first noticed slight increased resistance about 3-4 years ago. It has worsened to the point that it is now a major resistance when attempting to turn at low/minimal speed.
Power steering failing, display screen failing
Power steering pump is failing to provide assistance at low engine speeds every time the vehicle is operated (not intermittent).condition makes it difficult and slow to manuever the vehicle during parking lot type maneuvers.the first time i experienced the condition was while parallel parking in the city during a time of heavy traffic. Note: power steering reservoir was replaced under warranty after one year of ownership due to air ingestion problem.vehicle is a one owner and i can confirm that only honda power steering fluid has ever been used.
When driving at low speeds(under 10 mph) power steering fails.very difficult to maneuver in and out of parking spaces.took car to mechanic, had to have power steering pump replaced.mileage 51000.called honda dealer, was told honda is aware this is a weakness.
This vehicle is very hard to steering when it stops or in low speed. I talked with honda customer service. They claimed that it is out of warranty. However, i found there are lots of same problems described on-line. I believe honda should provide a service recall on this issue.
2007 odyssey power steering seems to fail on low speed(and in parking lots), and the vehicle pulls to right at every speeds, and the vehicle is used everyday for my family, i do really concern about my family's safety.
Power steering very stiff both stationary and while in motion, especially when turning
Tl -the contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle would pull from left to right abnormally and when applying the brakes, the steering wheel would jerk violently. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop for inspection but the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The technician advised the contact that the vehicle would need an alignment and that the rotors should also be replaced as a temporary fix. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vin was not available and the vehicle was not repaired.

Vehicle had memory steer. Wandered left quickly if wheel is not held tightly. May pull right if last turn was to the right. Hard steering in general. Sore wrists after driving 60 minutes on freeway due to holding on to wheel tightly to stay in lane on freeway. Owned the van less than 1 month at time of travel. Purchased used. Two alignments performed and no change. Upon further inspection found upper strut rubber components not correctly installed on oem struts on vehicle. Disassembled struts and re-installed coil spring rubber on struts correctly, realigned tires again, and problem seems to have been corrected. No new parts needed to correct as old parts were functional but had not been installed correctly according to honda technical service manual.
My honda odyssey has developed a vibration in the front end.we've replaced the rims, tires, and suspension to no avail.the vibration can be overwhelming at times.we are unaware of anything that could have caused this since it came on gradually.it appears to be worse in the winter.
Honda odyssey 2007 driver seat belt stopped working, dealer at first wanted to send me home without seat belt, after i refused to drive the car , they gave me a rent a car for repairs.also brake system not working properly , multiple previous mentions to the dealer that breaks are soft, they told me it was not any thing bad and nothing they can doalso steering pump problems went bad at 34,000 ,miles and they said it will cost 700 dollars to fix , steering very hard and not safe, unable to steer quickly and avoid objects on the road.
Whenever i brake from about 70mph, the steering wheel rattles to a point that i have to hold it with two hands. I've research online and many people seem to have the same problem but without a resolution. Please look into this issue before it cause major accidents.
I bought 2007 odyssey at 67,000 miles. I purchased a trade-in vehicle from sterling acura dealer, steering drifts to the right within 3 seconds, i took the van to the dealer 3 times they've switched tire positions, done the alignment still the drift to the right happens. Then they say it's because of road crowing which i totally don't accept. I read through many forums where everyone is pissed-off with this problem. I suppose honda should fix this problem or part knowledge with the dealer on how to fix it.
The filter in power steering fluid reservoir clogged.this caused the power steering fluid to aerate.the service technician stated that the aerated fluid will cause the power steering pump to fail, losing power steering.
Steering wheel is hard to turn quickly at low speeds, and while at parking. I knew that was a problem in 2010 in thousand of these vehicle, which honda replaced the part, withtwo efforts, after being supplied with wrong part in the past. I took my car to local honda dealer today (harsons honda), who complained the same thing, andwants me to replace the power steering pump during my timing belt change. I ask then whether they can look for, whether my van has the correct part (which probably have), but said there is a no way to check unless i have the invoice, which i definitely have not, as i purchased from a private owner. However, the symptoms look like the same (which technician complaint due to failure in power steering pump, but did not tell anything about the part, see attached report), that it is having the same issue, which thousands of odyssey owner faced before. I want to make sure, that it has a right part on it (even aged out), or even it is fixed; it might have gone wrong. I want this issue is to be resolved as honda should look into this serous safety issue, which honda also admits back in 2011 (see attached).
Hard steering are slow speed requiring excessive effort to maneuvervehicle in close spaces.
When i am driving my van at about 65 and above and when i hit the brake the steering wheel starts to vibrate very badly. This does not happen i am driving at less than 60 mph. Every time this happens, i feel like i might crash into other vehicles or run off the road due to the vehicle becoming very unstable. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership several times but they test drive it and say that there is no issues.
We first became aware of the problem with our odyssey when the low-speed steering (e.g. Navigating parking spaces) became very difficult, as if the power steering were off.we took it to the dealer and they said they cleaned the power steering system as per a service bulletin. About two months later we noticed that after driving the van for at least approximately 20 miles, the power steering pump made an audible hum or whirring that could be heard at low speeds.the noise would change pitch along with the engine.sometimes, the low-speed steering would again be difficult, but not to the same extreme as before and far less often.when we took it back to the dealer they reported that a seal was broken in the steering rack and that the pump also had to be replaced.we were told that not replacing both these items, at a cost of $2500.00, could lead to power steering loss and cause a dangerous situation.so we had no choice but to replace these items even though the van only had 50,000 miles on it when the problem first became noticeable.
I entered a highway and was accelerating to a speed of approx. 35 mph when the vehicle suddenly decelerated, as if the brakes had been slammed on, causing me to lurch forward, triggering the seat belts to tighten. I maintained steering control, removed my foot from the gas pedal, then suddenly the vehicle accelerated rapidly without my pressing on the gas pedal. This happened four times within approximately 60 seconds. I'm stating this mildly when i say the experience was terrifying. I pulled over, turned the car off, and called our mechanic who advised i slowly and safely drive the van to the shop, which wasn't too far away, or consider having it towed. I chose to drive slowly to the mechanics and the problem did not occur again. Upon diagnostic testing, our mechanic said it was a steering sensor that lost its memory and needed reset, an easy fix and that while this problem is rare, it's not unheard of, yet it shouldn't happen again. (we had recently had new tires installed prior to this event, the mechanic suspected that while the tires were being changed, the sensor's memory must have been wiped.) the second event was this past wed., oct. 2, the same experience as before happened again. Only on this occasion, our mechanic's diagnostic testing did not provide a code as it had before, but recognizing the complaint, they reset the sensor again. In both events, the roads were dry, clear weather, we were driving on new tires and at low speeds, having just moments before turned on the ignition and begun accelerating. We are now being told that our vehicle has two broken motor mounts. We highly suspect this is due to the sudden jerking back and forwards from this involuntary deceleration/acceleration issue; it's an expensive repair! honda needs to recall this model and get a fix asap. We are thankful this hasn't caused an accident--yet. *we bought this van used in 2010.
Power steering is non-existent at parking speeds. While parking, turning or maneuvering at very slow speeds, the only way to turn the car is to "muscle" the steering wheel around. Power steering engages as speed increases. Mentioned numerous times to dealer and they claim that is the way a van drives.the vehicle already was repaired from lack of oil placed in steering column when it was built. Lack of manufacturer response is concerning me.my fathers 2006 had same problem and he was told honda uses a bigger"screen" now somewhere in the steering pump and it is a known problem.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, the power steering assist exhibited a loud noise.the vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the reservoir steering pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000.
2007 honda odyssey steering continually pulls to the right. Most noticeable at speeds above 45 mph.issue has been occurring for three years, since i bought the van new from honda dealership. This is well documented across the internet, especially the forum on edmunds:http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f17a7b3/0(refer to post #23 and more specifically it looks like the struts were assembled wrong from the factory as seen on post #103).
My honda odyssey shuts off completely while driving, at that time you can't turn the steering wheel (or it is very very hard to turn). This is preceded by usually the lights on dashboards flashing. Sometimes it will shut off (dashboard will go black) and come right back after few seconds. Other times the i have to stop and turn it on again and it works. Yesterday it turned off and the car came to stop then i moved the battery little and the hazard light started flashing. When it's completely dead even hazard light would not blink. Today it happened again and even after moving the battery it did not get power back. I had left the hazard light on but it was not blinking. However after around 5 minutes or so on it's own thehazard light started blinking and i could drive off.
The vsa warning light keeps coming on along with an exclamation sign. It prevents acceleration and causes temporary loss of power while driving. Also, prevents use of cruise control. It temporarily resets when engine is turned off but then turns on again while driving. This occurswhile vehicle is in motion on city streets as well as highways.
2007 odyssey makes a clicking noise when turning right or left.power steering pump was replaced last year but was told the rack and pinion steering needs to be replaced.97,000 miles with maintenance kept up to date.
After installing new set of 4 tires for my honda odyssey and have the tires balance and align by professional goodyears service mechanics.i can feel the mini van keep pulling to the left pretty fast and dangerously.i talk to the wheel shops manager, and there is nothing they can do since the wheel alignment is fine.after looking at this issues online, i see lots of people who own 2007 honda odyssey have the same issues and turn out to be issues with the factory installed spring and strut that need to be aligned and fixed.i almost got into an accident due to the car sudden turn to the left without any kind of warning on hwy 85.
2007 - 2010 honda odyssey owners are targeted to receive notification of a "warranty extension" to replace the power steering pump under certain conditions. I received the notice for my 2007 honda odyssey, suffered with the "hard to turn" condition (see tsb 10-076) and associated pump whining noise that is described in tsb 07-005 (defective pump reservoir). Although the pump was extended warranty replaced at university motors (missoula) i was required to pay for the replacement of the reservoir ($66.08). My understanding is that the reservoir defect is what causes the pump to fail. I believe that a recall should be required and all owners that have been required to pay for the reservoir (or pump) should be 100% reimbursed. American honda automobile refused to reimburse for this replacement stating that the extended warranty applies only to the pump. Please review huge complaint data base.
Vehicle was hard to steer at low speeds also during cold weather we hear a loud whining noise coming from the power steering pump.took the vehicle to the honda dealer where we were told the power steering pump was bad.they replaced the pump and told us if we hear the whining noise again it is probably the power steering resovior which was not replaced.there is also a popping sound in the steering which they say is the rack and pinion and it needs to be replaced.now the vehicle is not under warranty anymore but before the warranty had expired we had taken the vehicle to the dealer to diagnose the popping noise but was told they could not find anything wrong.magically now they have found the problem.with them now wanting to charge $2000 to fix it.the vehicle only has 54000 miles and should not be having this much trouble.i have never owned a vehicle needing this much work this soon.although i do love my vehicle i can honestly say i am having doubts of ever owning another one.if they know there is a problem they should fix the problem.
After driving apx. 50 miles most of them at highway speeds upon exiting the highway and waiting to make a turn i heard a loud whining noise from under the hood. When i tried to turn it was difficult to do so. The noise continued and the vehicle was difficult to turn at times as if you had loss power assit. I parked the van and ckecked the power steering fluid level, level was good, but it looked foamy. The van sat for apx. 3 hours i checked the fluid again and it looked normal. After starting the van the noise was not as pronounced and steering seemed ok, but after making the 50 mile return trip home the same problem returned. After checking the internet i find this is a problem honda is aware of since they have issued at least two service bulletins 07-005 and 10-076 to address the problem.i would think any problem that would affect the steering of a vehicle at slow or high speed should be repaired by the manufacturer. You could loose the ability to avoid an accident if this would happen at either speed or cause an accident. It is not as if this is due to poor or lack of maintance, or high milage. The problems seem to happen way before a vehicle of this cost and preceived quality should start having problems, to a system that affects it's safe operation. Some have occured during the warranty period. I can only speak for my van, but it has been serviced by a honda dealer since new. I hope human life does not have to be lost or serious injury occur before this on going problem is resolved.honda knows they have a problem if they will not do the right thing, then somebody needs to make them, and fix the power steering pumps.
2007 honda odyssey has memory steer, after making a left hand turn the car pull dramatically to the left, this could possibly cause a head on collision with oncoming traffic.had honda dealer align, said the van is in all of honda's specs and all front components are in good shape.this is a family car and i fear for the safety of my family while driving it.i understand that all cars have there issues but when it comes to the safety of the occupants or the public sharing the road this issue should be addressed and recalled.there are many complaints of this found online (ex. Edmunds.com town hall), it seems honda is ignoring this issue and not taking into consideration the possible harm that can be caused.
Vehicle failed safety inspection because power steering is ineffective at low speeds.my daughter is learning to drive, and we cannot let her use the vehicle since she cannot control the steering while moving below 5 miles per hour. This problem is detailed in 2 honda technical service bulletins 07-005 and 10-076, but honda appears to be reluctant to admit a problem to customers.
We were out of the house and on to a city street, suddenly battery light is on and cannot steer at all. Almost got into crash. Turns out the serpentine belt tensioner, new from honda dealer in 2017, its bolt sheared off three months after installation.if this happened on the highway, it would most certainly got us into an accident. Honda should recall all the drive belt tensioner, but unfortunately, we have no choice but put in another honda tensioner.
Power steering goes out at low speeds. Sometimes it works fine other times it is out. Contacted the dealer and they will not repair it because out of warranty. The dealer would fix it but at a cost. There is a service bulletin to notify their service people of the issue. The bulletin mentions a design flaw and what to do to repair it. ...updated 09/15/11

Steering becomes tight and very hard at low speeds and my wife started complaining of sore arms.i tried and found it to be quite hard.took it to the dealer and he flushed power steering fluid and charged me for it though there is a tsb on how to fix it. Took it to the tire shop and they asked me to take it to the alignment shop. Then i searched the internet and found tsb a11-039 and several other letters from honda to customers. Honda extended the warranty but did not inform the owners!!i did not receive any communication regarding this and my vehicle does not show any open recalls in honda website.steering is quite critical to the vehicle and honda should recall instead of playing with lives of customers.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While traveling 5 mph, the contact noticed that the power steering would suddenly malfunction. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the failure could not be reproduced. There were no prior warnings. The current mileage was 90000 and the failure mileage was 60000.
Brake pedal is very low and feels soft. Honda service bulletin 07-045 issued on march 5, 2009 does not really fix the soft brake issue. It is a temporary fix and will happen again in a matter of time. There have been some accidents reported and shared in the honda odyssey forum .this is a very serious safety issue needed to be addressed to honda to prevent any accidents. Please help us and others as well. The consumer also stated there was a buzz/whine noise coming from the steering when the outside temperature was below 40 degrees after driving for 30 minutes.updated ivoq 02/24/11
My 2007 odyssey was diagnosed as having a power steering leak.this was funny because my 2004 accord was also diagnosed with the same issue. Multiple mechanics suggested that perhaps there was an issue with power steering machinery in hondas from those years.in fact, there were recalls for both 2004 accords and 2007 odysseys but our vehicle vin numbers did not fall under those recalls.however, this is still concerning that this is due to faulty parts and would like honda to consider a free replacement as they would have for those vehicles for whom the parts were recalled.
My 2007 odyssey was brought back to the dealer at 35,000 miles for a problem with a clicking noise and steering issue at low speeds.the dealer attributed the problem with the steering to a power steering service bulletin and the clicking wasn't evident out of the ordinary.as the steering seemed to be better, and the clicking was 'normal" i took the vehicle back and drove it like it was for many more miles, until the clicking noise at around 68000 miles seemed really louder and more pronounced.the dealer now attributed the noise to a faulty axle and replaced it at a cost to me of around $200.00 (1/2 price).now, about 5000 miles later, the steering is extremely bad at low speed and now the dealer tells me the power steering fluid is leeking and the cost to repair is nearly $1500.00.this issue is a design problem as it has been noticible on mine and other people's vehicles which is evident by the complaints almost exactly like mine.honda should recall this vehicle for a faulty power steering pump and take ownership of the problem.
Normal driving conditions, low battery light illuminates and there is no power steering.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. In march 2009, she noticed a noise around the wheel. She took the vehicle to the dealer and the left wheel bearing was repaired. In december 2009, she noticed the same sound along with a transmission issue which she noted as difficulty shifting. She stated that at low speeds, she actually lost power steering capabilities and had difficulty turning. She took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the power steering pump was defective; the torque converter was replaced as well in reference to the issue with the transmission. The repair did not remedy the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired to-date for the power steering problem. The manufacturer stated that they would assist with the transmission repairs sinceit was still under warranty; however, they refused to repair the power steering at no charge. They offered her 25% off the repair costs. The current mileage was approximately 59,000. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000. Updated 02/13/10 updated 02/16/10.updated 02/18/10.
In 2008, had my 2007 honda odyssey touring was serviced by gilroy honda due to a faulty power steering pump. At that time, they had replaced the faulty pump as it was found to be causing the sticky driving during slow speeds. This issue is not noticed on high speeds since there are no big/wide turns needed at that speed.the van is normally driven by my wife and i seldom use it. I recently used it (2nd week of oct '10) when i have to take the van to gilroy honda for a regular service. During that time, i noticed a very sticky steering at low speeds. Very similar to what i noticed in 2008. I also noticed that at low speeds, it tends to pull towards the right. I also notice that it is very difficult to get out of a tight spot (like in a parking lot) because of this. I was worried about it since my wife is driving it everytime and that she might hit something or somebody during a slow maneuver.i complained about it to gilroy honda but they said they will not replace it for me as it is no longer under warranty. I asked whether or not they have a recall about this but said no. I think this has to be a safety recall as it can lead to crash or even worse injuries.

I am a owner of honda odyssey 2007. We start to hear noise around 2008 winter after highway driving. Then, we begin to experience the difficulty to turn wheel occasionally between 2008 to 2010. In 2011, the difficulty of turning wheel become more frequent at low speed, but manageable. In june 2011, we experienced difficulty to turn wheel during a trip on highway driving. This incident made us to aware the problem of power steering pump. After searching the website, many honda odyssey owners complained the same problem and mentioned that honda installed the problematic power steering pump for their car since 2004, therefore a service bulletin 10-076 was announced by honda. Please consider a recall service from honda to protect honda owners' safety during highway driving.thanks.

When i opened the rear power liftgate, it got almost completely open and then unexpectedly closed while making a beeping sound.it would have closed on my head if i didn't jump out of the way fast enough.i tried it again using the remote again and then w/ the liftgate button on the dashboard and it continues to malfunction.
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. I am not able to get this fixed as it costs nearly 1200$ every time this occurs.
Honda odyssey 2007 exl: brake pedal is soft requiring pressing almost to the bottom to stop the car. Dealer did replace master cylinder but no difference, the same scary feeling especially on a highway.couple times i even manage to press brake and accelerator pedals at the same time while trying to stop a car. The first time it happened (it was in canada and road was slippery)i had to use parking brake to stop a car.
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.
When i turn or go straight, with and without brakes on, at a slow speed, i hear a loud horn-like sound. Seems to be coming from front.i only have about 21,000 miles and bought it new.this problem has been happening most of the time we've owned it (almost 3 years).dealer can't make the problem happen.i even left it overnight.it usually happens when i leave home.i make short trips to school and store.it is sporadic.i heard another odyssey with the same noise pulling into a parking spot the other day.is this common?it is annoying and embarrassing.it can be quite loud.since i've had the recall done, it's not as frequent.
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.

2007 honda odyssey van.we noticed two small stains on the carpet in the rear storage area, where the 3rd row seats can be stored.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.

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. And why are we continuously being stuck with the bill (upwards of $500.00) for honda's failure to produce quality doors and door assemblies for one of the most critical part of a car.i would like to know from you government what are you doing about this.we do not need another toyota situation, where we had to see people perishing before you guys did anything about it!!!!!!
The rear tailgate struts on my honda odyssey van failed once i opened it. The heavy tailgate began to close on me while i was under it and had i not noticed it coming down it would have crushed me. I'm elderly and struggled with the weight of the tailgate as i caught it. The passenger-side strut completely failed, leaking some kind of fluid out of it and the driver-side strut is also leaking. These leaks and failures were sudden as i had recently washed the van a day before and did not find any leaks when i cleaned the tailgate.
Lots of car stopped on the highway 65 mile speed limit,i stopped completely after few second later rear vehicle hit my van. Police came make report,rear car's fault. I did not ride ambulance. I see doctors,i thought i was o.k. But 10 month later i was in the hospital almost 2 months. I got surgery my upper back because my spinal was pinched by bone and leaking.air bag did not deployed accident time,if it work ,i did not injured.rear car hit my van and my van hit in front of my car.my chair frame was lifted up rear door and bumper and body frame need straight.
The sliding door completely fell off.this was unprovoked.i opened it and it didn't open all the way. I then attempted to close it and it was stuck so i turned off the electric part.now that it was manual i attempted to close it and it fell off complete!
Passenger side door fell off its middle and top rollers.the wire in the middle roller kept the door falling on my 8 year old daughter.the vehicle was parked and turned off.thr door was opened and my daughter attempted to close the door when it fell off.
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 wasattached 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 asfirefighter 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.

I received a recall notice relating to faulty vsa system in honda odysseys. My vehicle was totalled as a result of a single driver accident that occured on ct-15 merrit parkway in january 2011. It snowed that day in connecticut although there was no visible snow on the highway when this happened and at a particular turn, the vehicle skidded (no break was applied), and after trying to control through turning the steering hit the road divider barricades facing forward and then sideways resulting into damage to radiator system and activating all air bags. I spoke with honda representative today who advises that they cannot assist me further because vehicle is not available for inspection and they cannot therefore confirm or denywhether the issue was caused due to this matter. My request to speak to the supervisor was declined. I do not feel that my concerns were adequately addressed.
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
Mechanical sliding side doors1) 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 down2) the door does not have a sensor ( like an elevator) that something or someone might be n itspath 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 reote does not have an open & shut button for the door. Remote buttons are a minor point, the doors need sensors.the challenges w/ the doors not having sensors to stop them & 1button open/close on the remote r issues we deal w/ on a frequent basis. My daughter & i r not the only ones who have been crushed n the doors. We have had other children even our 65 yr old grandmother has been crushed n them.
My vehicle has a strong gassy smell when i start it up. Both my passenger doors have fallen off the hinges while stationery and my check fuel cap light constantly flashes while in motion.
On 1/23/12 while attempting to close drivers side power sliding door with remote, it was noted that while attempting to close, said door closed about half-way and then reopened.several attempts were made to close above door until it finally did close.it was also noted at this time that when it did close it made a thumping noise."thump... Thump... Thump..." while the door was closing.it should be stated that this problem has continued to happen several times this past week, however not all the time.the thumping noise was noted all the time though, only upon closing.annoying, but not terrible.tonight, 2/1/12, however is a different story.i opened the above door using the exterior door handle, the door began to open.when it (sliding door) was just about completely open (more than 3/4 open but not fully), my six year-old son attempted to climb into the van (something he has done before without there ever being a problem) when the door began to close on its own!thankfully, i was standing right there and i was able to pull him out of harms way and stop the door from closing on him.the door then opened, when i physically stopped it from closing on my son, and then began to close again and then open, to where it stayed.it was then that i turned off the power slider and closed the door manually.i realize nowhere on this form does it ask for potential injuries, however this could have been devastating.a necessary component (a door) that one believes to be safe is not only unreliable but hazardous.
Automatic doors will not open on their own. They may open partially and stop, or not at all.
Closed back tailgate/door/hatch from inside the vehicle using the handle located on the inside if the unit. The handle is located so low on the reardoor my hand became lodged between the door & the jam, there is no safety release inside the door to open it from inside trapping my hand. The touring model is the only model with a rear door opener on the remote but the interior handle is still located so low on the rear door the same situation occurs.
Noticed that since feb. 2010, my tailgate unexpectedly shuts closed, it fails to stay open, and at times, it opens only 3/4 the distance up and only for a short moment...nothing has yet been completed to remedy the problem, i just realized through online search that others have the same concern, and a recent recall on 2005 lift gate strut recall was sent out.
Sliding side door rear latch will not stay latched using automatic closing mechanism or manually closing the door while standing still.warning light and buzzer indicate unlatched door.sometimes happens during driving.i have not yet had it to the dealer.
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.hondacompany should be responsible to repair this kind of defect at no cost to any honda owner's.
The paint on our honda odyssey is failing.honda offered a recall/warranty extension for this issue, but made no attempt to alert us about it until after the recall/warranty was expired.we specifically asked about any service bulletins or recalls before the recall/warranty expired and were told there were none.it wasn't until after the recall/warranty expired that were we told about it.honda is now telling us that they will not repair the failing paint because the recall/warrenty is expired.we have tried to work through the local dealer and honda's national customer service center to no avail.honda's business strategy around this particular recall/warranty appears to be to hide information from consumers until they are no longer required to respond to specific problems with their vehicles.please help us resolve this issue with american honda.thank you.
We have a 2007 honda odyssey that suddenly started to have the paint bubble up and begin peeling.it started off in two small areas on the hood and the roof and has grown tremendously in the past six months.it looks awful.

Both rear tailgate struts had leaked fluid, causing automatic tailgate to open but then slam shut rather than stay open. Service advisor explained that the problem only became evident after both of the struts had failed but, until then, one functioning strut may have been concealing the failure of the other. Problem manifested at 16,000 miles, and was less than two weeks out of warranty, but dealership charged me to replace the failed hatch struts.

Passenger side sliding door opens when driving down road, have made 2 repairs to the door since problm has started.still having same problem. Looked online f9r a solution. Many consumers having same problem!!!!!
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. A side impact or side swipe crash could easily tear open the doors. Side airbag deployment could also cause injury if tripped by the failing doors. As i said this is an ongoing re-occurrence even after honda repair. I know of several other odyssey owners dealing with the same issue. Honda dealer admits they see many of these in 2007-2008 odysseys'.
The driver's side rear sliding door fell off.very scary and caused damage.81 year old mother-in-law sat next to it holding it for the trip home.horriblewe were in a grocery store parking lot .when we opened it it just fell.
The sliding door struggled to close in a parking lot, continually stopping mid slide and opening up again. After trying to close it a few times, the wheel on the top of the door fell off the track, leaving the door hanging only by the guide wire in the middle of the door. The paint on the side of the vehicle was scratched badly and the vehicle required a tow and a trip to the mechanic. The door fell off again only a week later.
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 mydaughter 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 sliding door on my odyssey fell off. It literally fell off right onto my body while i was pumping gas. Not only did this cause physical harm to my person, but it resulted in substantial body damage to the vehicle panel.
Left side (driver side) power door stopped working. Door can't be opened either under power or manually.

Paint has been oxidizing & peeling on the top of the van & on the hood.it has done so at an alarming pace & the van looks older than it is.
My vehicle was parkedand was in a parking lot in lake city. I was out shopping with my family and i pressed button to ipen passenger sliding door and the door came off the railing hanging by a cable. I had a small child with me and that is dangerous. I just bought this vehicle so i have not had it long. Regardless of the miles on the vehicle this is unsafe.
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.
I was involved in a three car accident. I was the third car, we were leaving from a traffic lighton highway maryland 301 that just turned green. According to the driver of the second car, driver of car one slammed on her brakes after taking off. I than ran into car number two. I sustained front end damage and my air bags did not deploy.
The drivers side rear sliding door fell off. We are lucky no one got hurt. My 81 year old mother-in-law had to sit in back and hold it to let me know if it started slipping.we were in a grocery store parking lot and when it was opened it just fell.a small amount of damage to the vehicle but thank god that is all the damage that day.
My honda odyssey driver side sliding door had been shaking, making noises, and opening and closing mid way for a few weeks whenthe 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 thesliding 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 therewas 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 contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.the contact stated the lift gate strut fractured.the dealer advised the contact that her vin was not included in recall number: 10v055000,structure body hatchback/liftgate.the manufacturer was aware of the failure.the vehicle had not been repaired.the current and failure mileages were 43,000.the vin was unavailable.
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.
After 3.5 years after i bought my 2007 honda odyssey, i noticed that the paint on the roof and on the topof 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 thealabamaplant with vins starting with 5fn . My odyssey is a 2007 with light blue paint, was built at the same alabamaplant 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.
Sliding doors won't lock the sliding door will just pop open again.have child lock engaged and door locked from inside.i have found about 40 cars with this problem in just columbus ohio alone that are 2007.the cost to repair is 500$ which is failing most of the youtube videos are showing.
Loss of power steering & difficulty turning steering wheel.paint on top of the roof has begun to fade.had to replace oil pan because of lug nut damage to pan.according to the mechanic damaged was caused to the oil pan due to the quality of metal within the lug nut that is of harsher material than the oil pan.therefore, it caused damage to the oil pan that required us to have an immediate oil pan replacement during a routine oil change.
Driver side sliding door fell of when it was being closed. Kids were right next to me when it happened. They could have gotten seriously hurt! car was parked when it happened.
The driver side sliding passenger door came unhinged and fell off when trying to close the door
Paint on the roof peeling on top. Can see metal now and started as bubble. Worried about rusting. Contacted dealer they are doing nothing.
The tailgate suddenly stopped staying up.i have seen a recall on 2008 and 2009 odysseys for the same issue.we are going to have to replace the struts that hold the gate up.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey.the contact attempted to open the rear lift gate and noticed that it had become extremely heavy and would not remain open. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 12v062000 (structure: body: hatchback/liftgate: support device) but the recall only covered the 2008-2009 honda odyssey vehicles and not the 2007 models. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.
The paint has been peeling on the hood starting small and growing exponentially larger and expanding to the area on the roof between the windshield and sunroof. This defect has been noted in other cars similar to ours.
Passenger sliding door automatically opened while vehicle was in motion, exposing my 5 year old to serious injury. This is the 3rd occurrence. Baierl honda of wexford pa cannot identify any faults even though the vehicle has been taken to them on several occasions.
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.
The door is all the door broken
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated he had the left passenger side sliding door open and he noticed it began to close without warrant. He was unable to open the door with the door mechanism and instead attempted to open the door manually. He was able to pull the door open slightly, however the door continued to close and his wrist became jammed in the door. The vehicle had not yet been diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 50,000. Updated 05/19/10. *lj
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.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while the children were getting out of the sliding door on the right passenger side, the door stopped midway. The contact stated that now the door would not open at all. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 59,000.
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.
My daughter who is 5 got her hand caught in the sliding door of our 2007 honda odyssey.she got it caught in the rear end of the door and the door did not reopen.she screamed and i ran to that side of the car and opened the door to release her hand from the door.she was in a lot of pain and had visible marks across her hand.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the passenger side sliding door failed to close securely. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer to be diagnosed, but declined to do so due to the cost of the diagnostic test. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

The right rear passenger intermittenly fails to open or close.this occurs when using the remote, driver buttons, or the door handles (interior & exterior).it appears to jump off the track.we have had it looked at by a honda dealer no less than 3 times.i know of two other people who have the same problem with their 2007 odyssey.

I cut and pasted part of another complaint as this complaint perfectly explains my complaint."the right rear passenger intermittently fails to open or close. This occurs when using the remote, driver buttons, or the door handles (interior & exterior). It appears to jump off the track. We have had it looked at by a honda"5 times. I bought it used from the dealership and it was a certified, pre owned honda. The 4th time i took it in they replaced the replaced the harness and pinch center in may 8,2012.they said the middle roller was broken as well and that was replaced in february 2012.but i am still having trouble.this morning when i brought it in to look at it, the door made the loud popping sound it sometimes makes after i have tried to open it for a long time without success.the technician saw it but like all of them, he just looked dumbfounded and did not appear to know what to do.i mentioned others have complained about the doors on this site and they did not seem to care.the most aggravating thing is that when i bring it in to the shop to be seen, the door always works for the honda guys so it looks like i am crazy.

Honda odyssey 2007 liftgate non-powered lift struts failed instantaneously. This caused the heavy liftgate to no longer stay on the open/up position.honda (under extended warranty plan) replaced both struts. Within several months, struts again failed and were replaced by honda. On 11/3/2013 this struts again failed instantaneously (used without problems around 2pm), failed at 4:30pm. This is less than two years since last replacement for a major functionally necessary component of the mini-van. Honda was contacted and claims there are no known defects with the struts and that they are "far" outside the replacement warranty window of 12 months. It would same honda uses defective or inferior parts for these struts. Honda support rep. 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.
Honda odyssey 2007 tail gate strut problem.it has been observed over the net that the honda odyssey tail gate gas lift dies after about 32,000 to 39,000 miles.our died at 42,000 miles.can you please keep record for this complaint and see if this helps to make sure that manufacture can provide some better parts.thanks!!!
The tailgate of my van, didn't stay open. As soon as i leave my hand from it, instead of staying open, it just came down and closed. I was nearly hurt.....i talked to american honda, and they didn't think this is worthy of recall. Even though, 2008 honda odyssey has a similar defect and they have issued recall. But not for 2007 model.
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.
The stabilus stay assemble tailgate open num 74820-sju-a012 failed and let the tailgate door fall. It almost hit me on the head. Since then it fails to hold the tailgate door open on the honda odyssey ex-l .2007.
The tailgate failed to stay open all the sudden, a direct hit on the driver with minor body injury. It had been working before and failed without any sign.
Returned to the car after shopping. Opened the tailgate for loading groceries. Tailgate closed without warning. Fortunately, no one was under and no one was injured. Afterward, tailgate would not stay open. Struts failure was the reason. Struts failure without warning is a big safety risk because the tailgate is very heavy, and could cause severe injuries if someone is under.

After installing new set of 4 tires for my honda odyssey and have the tires balance and align by professional goodyears service mechanics.i can feel the mini van keep pulling to the left pretty fast and dangerously.i talk to the wheel shops manager, and there is nothing they can do since the wheel alignment is fine.after looking at this issues online, i see lots of people who own 2007 honda odyssey have the same issues and turn out to be issues with the factory installed spring and strut that need to be aligned and fixed.i almost got into an accident due to the car sudden turn to the left without any kind of warning on hwy 85.
Purchased car in december 2013.vehicle makes a rumbling sound above the radio dash board when car reaches 30-35 miles per hour.took car to service and was informed that car needed front end alignment and that tires were not wearing evenly.had front end alignment completed.car still makes rumbling sound.have not had this experience on previous models.sound is annoying.considering rotating and/or replacing tires. What then if sound continues?
I would like to file a complaint regarding the 2007 model year for the honda odyssey. The car currently pulls to the right while driving on flat ground. There is a current issue with the way the plant assembled the struts and we are not the only ones who have been affected as i have looked online and found other drivers affected by the issue as well.
Front wheel bearing went bad at 40000.had it replaced at the dealership at cost to me.dealer said it was the right front that was replaced even though the feel of the problem was felt under the left front driver side.seems very early for a wheel bearing to go bad.logging this in case it is a broader issue with this model.
Vehicles pulls very hard to the right all the time especially when driving on the highway at 65 mph. We have to hold the steering wheel at almost a 20 degree angle to the left to counter the pull to the right. We took it to the honda dealership twice and they claim that the alignment is within the manufacturer specifications. I think this a big safety issue when the car wants to change lanes by itself.
Frist the check enginelight came on i took it to honda what came out of that visit was a repare bill of over 4400 00 dollars then it came back on after 3wks. Now it is this tapping sound from the engine.all on the city street.

2007 honda odyssey pulls hard right after right turn and hard left after left turn. This is a major driving hazard as the vehicle has the potential to pull off the road very quickly or into other vehicles if the steering is not constantly corrected.i bought a used cpo honda odyssey in august of 2010, and we noticed this pulling problem right off the lot. On a flat surface after a right or left turn, the vehicle will change lanes in 3 seconds if not corrected. We have taken this vehicle to the dealership 2 times, and they tried many things to no avail (tire rotations, alignment, tire deflations, etc...). I asked them to check the suspension and struts because a person posted an unofficial fix online that deals with improperly aligned struts that worked. The service advisor claimed that they removed the struts and the problem was fixed. However, the problem is not fixed, and actually the problem seems worse now. I am pretty sure they did not remove the struts at all since i requested to see the struts when they were removed and they did not show them to me at all. The service advisor and two technicians experienced this problem when they rode along on test drives with me, but the are claiming that the issue well within the specs defined by honda. They continue to exclaim that there is nothing else they can do. There has to be a way to fix this, but it seems that they do not want to spend the money to fix the problem properly.my concern is that this is a major safety hazard, and i am worried that my family of five may be involved in a catastrophic accident because the pulling problem is so bad.please help my family and all the other honda odyssey owners who are having this pulling / alignment problem get a proper fix by issuing a recall that requires honda to confess to the issue officially and fix the problem once and for all before something catastrophic happens.

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. I am not able to get this fixed as it costs nearly 1200$ every time this occurs.
Consumer states ongoing problem/defect with a honda odyssey concerning front wheels wobbling and vehicle jerking *tgwthe consumer stated the wobble from the front wheels was most noticeable at low speed turns. The consumer stated when he hit the slightest bump, the wobble could be felt in the steering wheel. After turning a corner, and the steering wheel was released, the steering wheel returned to straight forward with a series of jerks. The dealer was unable to provide a remedy even though there were complaints from other customers. The consumer stated he returned to the dealer regarding problems with the brakes.the service writer informed the consumer there was a weakness in the hydraulic brake system and the master cylinder would have to be replaced. The consumer learned of a recall, but records showed it was never replaced. On may 21, 2010, the modulator and sealing caps were replaced.on january 19, 2011, the dealer installed a master cylinder repair kit. The remedies showed little to no improvement. The consumer stated after not using the brakes for a few miles, he would have to pump the brakes several times, in order to stop, because the pedal would go to the floor.
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.
Strong pulling/drifting to right.driver must use constant strength to keep car driving straight or will end up in the next lane within about 6 seconds.can be more difficult than usual to keep van steering straight when looking over shoulder to switch lanes.have accidentally pulled close to others, causing them to honk for fear we were coming into their lane next to them.had van in to dealership 4 times and they will only check tire position, brand, tread, and alignment and have not fixed the problem.hundreds of others talking about this problem online with same lack of fix from dealers.
2007 - 2010 honda odyssey owners are targeted to receive notification of a "warranty extension" to replace the power steering pump under certain conditions. I received the notice for my 2007 honda odyssey, suffered with the "hard to turn" condition (see tsb 10-076) and associated pump whining noise that is described in tsb 07-005 (defective pump reservoir). Although the pump was extended warranty replaced at university motors (missoula) i was required to pay for the replacement of the reservoir ($66.08). My understanding is that the reservoir defect is what causes the pump to fail. I believe that a recall should be required and all owners that have been required to pay for the reservoir (or pump) should be 100% reimbursed. American honda automobile refused to reimburse for this replacement stating that the extended warranty applies only to the pump. Please review huge complaint data base.

Vehicle had memory steer. Wandered left quickly if wheel is not held tightly. May pull right if last turn was to the right. Hard steering in general. Sore wrists after driving 60 minutes on freeway due to holding on to wheel tightly to stay in lane on freeway. Owned the van less than 1 month at time of travel. Purchased used. Two alignments performed and no change. Upon further inspection found upper strut rubber components not correctly installed on oem struts on vehicle. Disassembled struts and re-installed coil spring rubber on struts correctly, realigned tires again, and problem seems to have been corrected. No new parts needed to correct as old parts were functional but had not been installed correctly according to honda technical service manual.

Honda odyssey 2007. Sudden unintended acceleration. While approaching at about 5mph to a stop sign with a stopped vehicle before me, i applied the brake but rather than stopping, the car lurched and the tachometer rose to >2000. I kept my foot down and applied more force on the brake and the car then came to full stop. This is very disconcerting.we bought this vehicle new and after ~ 15000 miles, the car vibrated excessively while traveling at 60-70 mph. Per repair shops, all four tires were "deformed" and cannot be repaired and needed to be replaced.
2007 honda odyssey - problem is the vehicle / tire design.the van has the michelin pax tires; the combination of the van and tires results in ridiculous poor tread life resulting in excessive replacement costs.our vehicle has 36k miles.we have had one tire replaced under warranty but had to pay over $100 in labor only to replace the tire.in december of 2008, i replaced two front tires (over $300 per tire) plus paid money to get all 4-wheels aligned (as a security measure to minimize any possible tire wear).3-months later, my two rear tires had an excessive wear pattern on the inside wall.one of the tires is only 9-months old!!the dealer is telling me i need to replace both tires at a total cost of $700 - this wear pattern was soon after the dealer alignment.what makes matters worse is that honda will not allow customers to replace the pax tire system with another alternative so the consumer is forced to pay excessive labor costs to replace tires that have very poor wear patterns and poor tire life.the consumer is "stuck"with continuous repair and replacement costs.we cannot afford to replace our tires yet the dealer tells us the tires must be replaced due to poor wear on one side of each tire (even though they advertise the tire as a "safe product"??).

Going south on hwy 5 from just outside sacrament, (by freeport) we struck something not visible in the road and the vehicle warned us we had a flat and not to exceed 50 mph.our minivan was equipped with michelin pax system run flat tires and no spare.we pulled of the hwy at elk grove and called the local honda dealer.it was almost 5pm and they said could not help until tuesday.the manual said we could go 125 miles with a flat tire and our home was less than 60 miles away so we put on the cruise control at 50 mph on hwy 5, then hwy 12 west, and then hwy 160 south.just north of the antioch bridge the front left tire shredded and we were stranded in the middle of nowhere for over an hour until aaa provided assistance.i contacted michelin and honda on tuesday following and michelin offered to pay 30% of the cost of a new tire but nothing towards the cost of removing the tire and putting a new one on. Honda offered nothing.i rejected michelin's offer and they raised it to 50 % and i still rejected it and we have taken the vehicle to a tire store to replace all four wheels and tires because we feel the run flat system is defective and dangerous.
2007 honda mini van has a roaring sound from the tires. *nj
The indicator light for low tire pressure comes on when ever the temperature drops below freezing. It goes off after the tires have heated up, then comes on and off at irregular intervals. The dealer checked it a couple times and finally said to just ignore the indicator. Why have an indicator that is just to be ignored?
Tpms warning light remains on. After 6 visits to the honda dealer and multiple diagnosis, still unresolved and the light will not go off. Tpms sensor has been changed twice on two different wheels, system reset and the warning light comes back on with a few days or 100 miles and will not go off. Dealer has no idea why this gov.'t mandated system will not work.please advise.
Owner purchased new snow tires, new wheels, and new tpms sensors.the 2007 odyssey does not recognize the new sensors.the computer controller memory only has memory for four sensors.the owner's manual does not state this limitation.honda should send notice out to owners stating that the when purchasing new tpms sensors must be reprogrammed and/or reprogram the controller at no charge when needed for seasonal tire changes.
2007 honda odyssey braking system not working good only less than 10k. Mile steering start shaking and dealer told us it is warp they charge me $99 for resurfacing rotor but after another 10k it come back again and my car steering is getting heavy again even dealer replace that already.i assume that honda vsa or abs not working properly some how when hondalost very importantlife at highway accidents might they do something on this miserable happen.what kind car need to beresurfacing rotor every 10k mile and even i did that still on highway 70 mile drive steering make shaking and vibrating even it's resurfaced rotor.

Vsa recall.. I took my vehicle in a couple years ago about this recall and now the light comes on here and there and the vehicle don't have to be in rolling action. I was told it was a software recall but now the light comes on here and there. I would like for someone to look into this matter and contact me.,
The power windows are not rolling down on the passenger side and the back windows. Only the driver side windows are getting rolled down. We live in florida and during the day time, it is very hot and needs to roll down the windows to escape from the extreme heat. But because of this problem, it is very difficult. It is becoming difficult with the kids. I see similar issue happening with most of the honda odyssey owners.
The car is a 2007 honda odyssey. The rear tailgate struts failed to hold the tailgate open and hit my wife's back.this issue happened on jan. 2013.
Excessive shuddering / jarring with 2007 honda odyssey touring model. Problem was recognized when initially purchases used from luther honda in hopkins, mn.they said it was an engine mount issue and replaced one of the engine mounts.problem still exists with shuddering/jarring occurring when the eco system kicks in and out.
Dera sir:we bought this vehicle (honda odyssey, 2007) in may 2007 in michigan. Since last 18 months, we have been experiencing serious issues with this vehicle. One issue was power steering (not able to maneuvering), i went tohonda. They changed the power steering unit twice in the last 12 months (i purchased extenede warranty, otherwise it would have been an expensive thing for me). Again, i had same issue this week, then i went tohonda. They mentioned "right side inner and outer tie rods loose and were completely worn out". They did mentiioned to me that it is dangaerous to drive this vehicle. They kept my vehicle overnight and installed a new part. I believe there is serious flaws in the design of this particle year model.today i am experienceing different problem, shaking engine at 40 mph. They did update the software but still there is problem in this vehicle. I apreciate if nha would take a look into this matter. I almost spent more than $10000 on this vehicle and i realized i bought a piece of junk from honda which i thought was a reliable maker.

My tailgate is powered. It opens up and than it closes on its own.it almost injured my wife. It looks like honda has recall for 2008 and 2009 odyssey but it is the same problem on 2007 odyssey touring.
Both side doors stopped functioning. They would not close. After 30-40 minutes i forced them closed. Honda told me this was a common problem as the rollers were cracked on both doors. I feel this is a safety issue since my children were in the back seats.
Spongy brake pedel since car was new, and squeeky noise when applying brakes while turning, usually when car is cold. This started in oct. 2009.
I am still waiting to recall to be fixed. It is showing check engine light.
The vehicle makes a shuddering sound on start and has problems in shifting gears. The noise can be heard even while driving on the street.. Please advise as to is there any transmission problem in the vehicle. It has only 76000 miles on it and driven singlehandedly.
My 2007 honda odyssey has a problem with "memory steer". When you make a turn to the left them the car has a problem with pulling to the left. When you make a turn to the right then the car has a problem with pulling to the right. This condition seems to be worse to the left. This is a major problem. The vehicle will change lanes into oncoming traffic or head toward the ditch very quickly. This condition caused driver fatigue in that you have to constantly grip the steering wheel tightly fighting against the pull of the car causing you wrist and hand to hurt on longer drives (over 30 to 60 minutes).
The sliding door on my odyssey fell off. It literally fell off right onto my body while i was pumping gas. Not only did this cause physical harm to my person, but it resulted in substantial body damage to the vehicle panel.
I was involved in a three car accident. I was the third car, we were leaving from a traffic lighton highway maryland 301 that just turned green. According to the driver of the second car, driver of car one slammed on her brakes after taking off. I than ran into car number two. I sustained front end damage and my air bags did not deploy.
Motor mount failure
Bought a new 2007 honda odessey van in early december 2006. The first warm day in march, i turn on the ac and it does not work. We take the van in assuming that the ac never worked (as it was not used) and they said a rock from the road hit my condensor and it is a total loss. Now i have difficulty understanding how this could have happened. I search the internet and find a ton of the same stories. I called the dealer and told them i am getting a second opinion and now they want to share in the cost of repair to me. It sounds like they realize there is a problem but are not accepting responsibility for it.
Vsa light is on and having problems breaking. As well as not wanting shift past gear 3 or go more than 20mph.
My back passengerdoor been acting up since i bought my 2007 honda odyssey i will hit the button to open the passengerback door it will start opening and all a sudden it will just start shuttingon peoplei have to hit the button to stop it from shutting on people and when my fuelget down to a quarter of a tank my fuel pump start making a weird sound until i fill my tank up with fuel then when it get low again it start making the sound again and i have had my 2007 honda odyssey for a little over a year now and i have already change my brakes 3 times already and change my rotors once
2007 honda odyssey air conditioning stopped working.result was a damaged condenser due to "road debris".warranty coverage was not provided by honda.condenser proximity to road surface makes it prone to damage and should be considered a design defect. Internet searches revealed numerous complaints about this issue.
Component failure:a/c condenser, due to small object hitting it.a/c no longer works and dealer wants $1,000 to repair.this is a problem that honda has known about since 2004 at least, i.e., the a/c condenser is susceptible to damage from small road objects (stones mostly).honda refuses to acknowledge their fault, claiming damage is "accidental".my position is that this is a design flaw that honda was aware of and could have easily prevented.in 2008 model year, honda covered the condenser with a shield to prevent further problems.my dealer is offering to add this shield for $70.00 (in addition to the $1,000 repair bill) to prevent further occurences. This may not be a safety problem but it surely smacks of a consumer rip-off.honda poorly designed the shielding for the condenser, knew about the problem for years (just google the issue), and then allowed its dealers to charge $1,000 for the problem they created.obviously, the delaers are happy with this common problem. Extended warranty does not cover this repair either.honda claims the damage is like a stone hitting the windshield.however, the purpose of the windshield is to prevent a stone from hitting the car's occupants; no one would argue honda is responsible for the windshield doing the job it was intended to do by preventing a stone from hitting the occupants.with regard to the condenser, honda could easily have prevented the problem by placing a shield over the affected part(s).it chose not to with the full understanding this common problem would cost its customers hundreds of thousand (if not millions) of dollars to repair.
Consumer stating problem has been resolved. Consumer states that the general manager with the dealer arranged to trade in the vehicle and the problems will be fixed.
Brand new vehicle - minivan purchased from grainger honda savannah ga. Upon delivery of the "brand new" vehicle we noticed a misaligned rear bumper and smudged paint work.we subsequently found out it was actually re-painted!we told the dealer we wanted either a full refund if not a new vehicle.the dealer offered to repair the bumper!as far as we are concerned the vehicle is not new and damage was not disclosed to us, the buyer.
The contact owned a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while the vehicle was park in the parking lot at her apartment complex, the neighbor noticed smoke coming from the hood of the contacts vehicle.

Hi we purchased this van a few months back as a used car and im really scared since it has few recalls on this car i have 3 kids imnot going to risk any type of incident with the recalls this car has i was wondering if i can get support to exchange this car.
My vsa light wont go off and now my brake light is on also im scared my van is going to brake or stop working properly.
2007 honda odyssey touring van parked in grocery store parking lot. Used key fab to automatically open tailgate. While loading groceries into the back of the van, the tailgate suddenly, and without warning, dropped hitting the person loading groceries in the back of the head, resulting in a mild concussion. The tailgate no longer stays open when opened manually, and automatically shuts again when opened automatically.this strut failure is similar to the issues on the 2008-2009 odysseys that were recalled.
Sliding doors won't lock the sliding door will just pop open again.have child lock engaged and door locked from inside.i have found about 40 cars with this problem in just columbus ohio alone that are 2007.the cost to repair is 500$ which is failing most of the youtube videos are showing.
On several occassions i'm having to put my vehicle in drive and start moving before my side doors which are automatic on my 07 honda odyssey ex to close. They haven't been closing properly for the last few months and i have children at times in my vehicle which is very unsafe.
I was driving my 2007 honda odyssey.as i was coming to a stop, i became involved in an accident.over the recent weeks i thought it was taking longer to stop my van, but had my van in for service the week before.i was assure that everything was fine and all fluid levels were correct. ***note:on my first service visit the service adviser told me that i should not be concerned about brake fluid levels that the van would notify me when it was time to replace the breaks and that the van was designed to do so.the police were called to the scene of the accident.i could not explain the accident and the officer coaxed me in to saying that i had been distracted.i was in shock.my son was in the car with me and i could not think much of anything else other than whether he was safe. I believe i had come to a complete stop then hit the vehicle in front of me.my airbags did not deploy.ever since the accident i have continued to notice that i must press the brake pedal all the way to the floor at times to stop the van and other times i don't in normal driving circumstances.all along i had believed the dealership that everything was fine with my vehicle.now i have damages to pay and a ticket i am facing as a result of what i believe to be break failure.i will be making a follow-up report with my local police department, faxing a copy other similar break failure complaints to my insurance company, contacting honda and hopefully will be able to get some answers on the problem with my van.
Vsa and abs light on and the car is shaking when driving on the highway, i saw it's a common problem with the honda odyssey, i don't know why my vehicle is not listed on the recall.
When i go to pass or accelerate my vehicles brake feel they are being activated or something is misfiring. This happens every time i drive my vehicle. There is a recall on the vsa for 2007 honda odysseys already but mine is not included in this recall but i think differently. After this happens while i'm driving the vsa light stays illuminated which makes me presume it has something to do with the recall. What do i need to do to verify that mine is indeed not a part of this recall or have it fixed properly under this recall?.
My van caught on fire but was not listed as recalled in 2014. It started to smell funny and when i pulled over, the engine compartment was already in flames.

I have owned my vehicle for 4 years now and since it was first purchased it has been hand washed and detailed. I have now encounter my paint peeling in places where there has been no damage to the vehicle and rust in places where there has been damage as well. In researching this model year vehicle i have found that this is the number one complaint for this car. I am wondering why there has been no recalls for this. I spoke with honda but they informed me that because my vehicle wasn't the color they recalled previously they could nothing about it. I don't believe that and i and my parents have been loyal honda customers for 15 years yet there are not willing to do anything for me. I would like this resolved and be able to have my paint repaired before i have more problems down the road.
The passengers side sliding door will not close all the way.it stays slightly cracked open and can still drive and does not give the warning beeps anymore after this has been an issue for a month.the dash light that says the door is open still does show that it's open.
Driving very slowly uphill in a hospital parking deck, the principal driver of the car turned into an available parking slot applying some gas, from 25-30 feet away, only to have the vehicle accelerate uncontrollably, even with the driver's right foot fully engaged with the brake pedal. The van jumped over parking blocks at the end of the space and struck a concrete post, whereupon the engine compartment crumpled and the airbags engaged. The van bounced back approximately twenty feet. Witnesses attracted by the sound of squealing tires, revving engine noise (before impact)and the subsequent crash itself came to render assistance and call police. The driver's right's foot was severely bruised by the crash impact and her sternum fractured. The vehicle was a declared total loss.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).i am the owner of a 2007 honda odyssey, [xxx] that has an eco(economy) mode feature that shuts off 3 cylinders electronically to save mileage. A few months ago, the car began to jerk around 40 mph or when the eco mode kicked in. I took the car to be serviced at the honda dealership where i purchased the car. The dealership name is south motors honda [xxx] the dealership said they could not find anything wrong with car. The problem continued to worsen over the next month so i brought the car back for servicing. This time the dealership said they updated the software that controls the eco mode. A few days after pickuping up my car from service, march 5, the problem is now much worse. The car not only jerks now, but is also unresponsive when the eco mode turns off and on. This unresponsiveness almost caused me to get into 2 accidents. The dealership again denied that there is a problem. The car only has ~37,000 miles and the dealership continues to deny that there is a defect with the car..if the problem continues to get worse, i am certain that is safety issue will result in a accident..any help would be greatly appreciated.
On october 16, 2013, my honda accelerated at a fast speed up my driveway and caused$6,178.37 in repair costs and slammed into my front porch. The brakes did not work to stop the car.we immediately informed honda and our insurance carrier of the accident, and the car was towed to honda in old bridge, nj, as it could not be driven due to damage.on 11/15/2013, see claims summary, honda could not determine if this an acceleration issue. They never informed us of what the issue was.honda did not provide me with a rental car, so i had to rent a car from 10/21/13 to 11/26/13, which i paid $603.96 out of pocket (receipts enclosed).the amount of time honda was way too long fix my car and i had pay additional rental costs due to their unreasonable delay. Shortly, after honda repaired my car, i received a recall notice that the brakes were recalled. Really?this is why my car would not stop. There have been several recalls on my honda.a year after purchase, the engine broke down. I wrote to nj attorney general, who wrote back and asked that i write to you. I am also attaching pictures of the accident.there are tire marks in the driveway due to the high speed of the acceleration.photos fluids running down my driveway, and the damaged front end. I have also enclosed nj manufacturer's, copy of the claim summary dated 11/15/13.this matter is very upsetting to me and the way it was handled by honda.my husband, also purchased a new pilot, and my honda were both purchased new at the same honda. I know there are acceleration issues with this honda and this was an acceleration issue and a mechanical issue on the fault of the brakesi am requesting to be reimbursed for the car rental, insurance deductible and a refund of the cost i paid for the honda in the amount of $28,931.46. My car has never driven the same since the accident.
I was driving about 35-40 mph at asteady rate on an empty street.my foot was on the gas pedal and the car suddenly slowed down quickly. The car steering pulled to the right and i felt vibrations in my foot that was on the gas pedal. This lasted about 5-10 seconds, then resolved and the car went back to it's previous speed.this happened 4 more times in the next few minutes. During these episodes i looked down and confirmed thatmy foot was in the proper place, and i actually saw the brake depress spontaneously a few millimeters. I also checked the carpet and pulled it far away to make sure it was not interfering with the pedal. I was on an isolated road, so fortunately no cars were behind me. I arrived at my destination and had the car towed to the honda dealer. My car was at the burns honda repair shop for a week and they insisted there was nothing wrong with it and returnedi never drove it again.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While parking 5 mph with the brakes engaged, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning and there was a sudden increase in engine rpms. As a result, the vehicle crashed into an electrical cable box. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was repaired.two days later,the vsa light illuminated and was repaired. Updated 7/14/15
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed when the vehicle unexpectedly surged forward and crashed into a parked vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact submitted a letter to the manufacturer, but did not receive any response. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 56,000.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact was braking from 25 mph when the vehicle abnormally accelerated forward before stopping. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who informed the contact that the vehicle was down shifting from high gear to low gearwhen the failure occurred, which was normal. The vehicle was not repaired. One month later, the contact received notification of a manufacturer's recall and the updates were made to the computer software but to no avail. The failure persisted and the vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 26,000.
I haven't heard back from honda dealership in milpitas (920 thompson st, milpitas, ca 95035) even after repeated attempts to schedule an appointment for the recall notice i have received regarding vsa. I have left vm and sent an email through their website regarding the recall notice and to schedule an appointment.

2007 honda odyssey ' decelerated on its own.while driving at about 30 mph the vehicle accelerated quickly and decelerated quickly on its own. The incident lasted about 3 seconds.it did not come to full stop.the recall for the brakes for this model was installed on 6/15/10 by the dealership.this incident occurred days later on 6/20/10.the very same issue happened 2 times before about 18 months ago.the car was taken to the dealership but no issue was found.
I was in a long line of cars waiting to leave a parking lot after an event.at one point, after about 10 minutes in line, i briefly inched the car forward and then put my foot on the brake.with my foot firmly on the brake,the engine speed unexpectedly starting increasing quickly on its own.when the speed hit 5000 rpm and with my foot still firmly on the brake, i put the car in neutral to prevent it from possibly moving forward.then i turned the engine off.the car behaved normally after it was restarted, and has behaved normally in the two weeks since then.perhaps coincidentally, the battery failed two days later and was replaced.a honda dealer inspected the vehicle and was unable to find anything wrong or reproduce the problem.
Two separate instances have occurred, both at slow speeds, around 5 mph, my van suddenly accelerated, and after putting it in neutral and punching the pedal down, it returned to normal rpms. A little unsettling, especially if the driver panics.
While driving at approximately 60 mph without cruise control, the van decelerated to 20 mph on its own.the engine warning light came on.the vehicle was driven at 20mph for 1/4 mile and parked for 20 min. With the engine running; the van was then driven at speeds below 35 mph (engine light on), then increased to 50-60 mph for 6 miles when the deceleration recurred.the van was driven at 20 mph for 4 miles.depressing the accelerator only increased the engine rpm, no velocity increase.the van was driven the next day at speeds below 45 mph (no engine light) with no problems.problem codes identified as #2 & #6 spark plugs misfired (non-permanent).honda service drove the van at 60 mph three different times for a total of 20 miles without any problems.the failure occurred after the van was driven 3000 interstate miles after nhtsa recall 13v500 (vsa) repair.the van has not been repaired--no known cause for the deceleration.
I purchased the vehicle referenced above in 2007 from hudson honda and about 6 months after the purchase, i began having acceleration problems with the van. The vehicle will accelerate on its own and i have to either throw the car into neutral or turn it off abruptly in order to stop the increase in speed.i have contacted the dealer i purchased it from and upon the first inspection, i was informed the mechanic could not duplicate the problem and did not find any mechanical issues.the problem has continued intermittently...most recently in december 2013 while driving from new jersey to miami.i was taking an exit with an incline in maryland and as i began to accelerate, the speed increased at such a rate that i had to throw the van into neutral to stop the vehicle and prevent an accident.i have contacted the dealer on several occasions and the response i have received is that they cannot find a problem.the van accelerates without warning, around speeds up to 30mph and occurs whether i'm driving uphill, downhill, or on a flat surface.my last visit, with the same complaint, cost $1623.45 and i am still having problems.i am very concerned that a safety issue is not being addressed and has the potential of causing injury to myself or others.
Foot on gas peddle when car accelerated by itself and then the car automatically applied the brakes and the car moved to the right. I was driving about 40 mph when this happened and it felt as though i was braking to avoid an accident. It did this about five times in the distance of about 3/4 of a mile. If someone where traveling close behind me they would have rear-ended me. The car is at the dealer now, but i guess it's called the "eva" (?) light came on. When i took it to the dealer today the light did not show. My granddaughter was with us in the car and looked up the problem on her phone while we were driving and saw that honda odyssey had this breaking problem. I don't know what would happen if this where to occur at highway speeds. I luckily was a few miles from home and limped home, but was on the interstate shortly before this breaking problem.please add my vehicle to your other complaints.
I entered a highway and was accelerating to a speed of approx. 35 mph when the vehicle suddenly decelerated, as if the brakes had been slammed on, causing me to lurch forward, triggering the seat belts to tighten. I maintained steering control, removed my foot from the gas pedal, then suddenly the vehicle accelerated rapidly without my pressing on the gas pedal. This happened four times within approximately 60 seconds. I'm stating this mildly when i say the experience was terrifying. I pulled over, turned the car off, and called our mechanic who advised i slowly and safely drive the van to the shop, which wasn't too far away, or consider having it towed. I chose to drive slowly to the mechanics and the problem did not occur again. Upon diagnostic testing, our mechanic said it was a steering sensor that lost its memory and needed reset, an easy fix and that while this problem is rare, it's not unheard of, yet it shouldn't happen again. (we had recently had new tires installed prior to this event, the mechanic suspected that while the tires were being changed, the sensor's memory must have been wiped.) the second event was this past wed., oct. 2, the same experience as before happened again. Only on this occasion, our mechanic's diagnostic testing did not provide a code as it had before, but recognizing the complaint, they reset the sensor again. In both events, the roads were dry, clear weather, we were driving on new tires and at low speeds, having just moments before turned on the ignition and begun accelerating. We are now being told that our vehicle has two broken motor mounts. We highly suspect this is due to the sudden jerking back and forwards from this involuntary deceleration/acceleration issue; it's an expensive repair! honda needs to recall this model and get a fix asap. We are thankful this hasn't caused an accident--yet. *we bought this van used in 2010.
While traveling on flat, level surface streets at roughly 40mph, car would spontaneously downshift (to 1st gear?) causing the vehicle to slow very quickly/lots of drag (locking up seatbelts) as if the brakes were applied quickly.the vehicle will then reshift back into a higher gear with little to no resistance again. This may happen 1-4 times within a 60 second period.pulling the car over, turning off and turning on again seems to fix issue.shifting into second gear, seemed to fix issue.shifting into neutral, power cycling car seemed to fix issue.over the last 6 months or so, this has happened ~2x month.
When my wife was turning 90 degrees into a parking stall at 5 mph, the van suddenly accelerated at such a rate that the van smashed into a brick wall in front of the stall. It hit with enough impact that it made a loud enough noise that other parked drivers looked over to see what happened and my van has visible scrapes on the front from the impact
Honda odyssey 2007. Sudden unintended acceleration. While approaching at about 5mph to a stop sign with a stopped vehicle before me, i applied the brake but rather than stopping, the car lurched and the tachometer rose to >2000. I kept my foot down and applied more force on the brake and the car then came to full stop. This is very disconcerting.we bought this vehicle new and after ~ 15000 miles, the car vibrated excessively while traveling at 60-70 mph. Per repair shops, all four tires were "deformed" and cannot be repaired and needed to be replaced.
After stopping at a stop light driver accelerated to approximately 32 mph; the van suddenly decelerated to nearly a dead stop.once the van returned to a normal speed the same event occurred within minutes of the first incident.weather was rainy; driver was alone.the van was taken to the local dealer where they were unable to duplicate the incident.
Today while slowly pulling into a parking space, my 2007 odyssey suddenly accelerated on its own. I had just taken my foot off the brake and let the car coast forward a little before i parked it when it lurched forward. I was able to hit the brakes hard and stop it quickly before any damage was done, but i was very shaken up and afraid to drive home. I called the dealer and will have the car towed for examination.
We bought this 2007 honda odyssey a few months ago, and ever since we have owned it, it will just keep going for awhile at the same speed we had it at, even though we take our foot off the gas. We have to put it in neutral to stop, or it will pull a bit hard on the brakes. We can stop it like this, but it will wear the brakes out fast. Also, when we put it in drive or reverse, after a few seconds, it speeds up a little. It will just go down the road slowly without putting our foot on the gas. If we leave it in reverse, it will accelerate right through the garage, if we let it. After it is in neutral for a few seconds, it finally goes back down to a regular rpm, but goes back up every 6 seconds or so, then back down, etc... Also, when it is idling, and i turn the steering wheel, it revs up again on it's own. We have had the throttle body cleaned, and had it completely checked on a scanner, and nothing came up; everything looked good on the scanner.
We have a 2007 honda odyssey with 76,000 miles. In december 2012 we had been driving for approximately 3-4 minutes, exiting onto the highway and accelerating to reach 65 miles per hour. When we reached approximately 55-60 mph and were still accelerating the car spontaneously applied the brakes for approximately 3 seconds, lurching us forward. We stopped accelerating and began to pull over. It again spontaneously braked as we were slowing down. We attempted to drive slowly along the side of the road, to get to the next exit, and it happened again. Once we were finally able to stop in a safe place we turned off the car. We turned the car back on and it did not do it again. We took the car to the dealer and they only found one code - the steering sensor. They re-calibrated it but were not convinced that was the problem. Sure enough, approximately two months later the same thing happened. We were not going quite as fast and it did not lurch quite as severe. After it did this three times i was at a stop light and pushed the switch to turn the vsa off. It did not occur again. Took it to the dealer and they found no codes. They drove 17 miles and could not duplicate the problem. The weather conditions both times were approximately 30-40 degrees with some snow or wetness on the ground from prior precipitation. The dealer continues to say there is no problem because it shows no code and they can't replicate the problem. Manufacture was contacted and they instructed dealer to drive again and try to duplicate. They deny any other incidents documented (despite listings on this website that say they have been notified of the same problem.)
When traveling at 30 to 40 mph and you let off gas pedal, trans downshifts. Sometimes a shudder at highway speeds.picked speed control because transmission was not an option.
Vsa indicator light appeared and would not turn off. Brought vehicle into dealership. I was told that there was a recall on the vsa system about two years ago and the vehicle was repaired according to the recall at that time. Dealership states does not know reason for current problem. Now dealership orders "replace vsa control unit, replace 47 pin vsa connector, bleed system, perform sensor neutral memorization procedure, and test drive."i am concerned that current problem is associated with previous recall problem or that repair made during recall did not actually fix the problem. Dealership denies this but cannot explain reason for current problem.dealership refuses to provide me the damaged part(s).concern: car had 41866 miles and was serviced as required. Dealership cannot identify reason for breakdown of vsa part or system. As there was a previous recall for this part it appears that the current problem and needed repairs may indeed relate to the previous recall.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle erroneously accelerated as the vsa warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that there were cracks in the radiator that affected the engine temperature and caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000.
While accelerating onto freeway at approximately 45 mph the brakes fully engaged and engine power was lost while my foot was on the accelerator. Speed decreased by about 25mph in just a few seconds. With my foot still on the accelerator engine engaged again and we increased speed to about 45 mph, when the automatic transmission was going to shift into overdrive, the same incident occurred again!power was regained at the same speed about 25 mph. We speeded up to about 45 mph again and this time i looked at the brake pedal. The brakes fully engaged themselves again the brake pedal actually depressed while i had my foot on accelerator only!i then took the overdrive off and put the transmission in d3 mode. The incident didn't occur again while in d3 mode. I was left having to drive on freeway around 55mph scared for my and my families lives!this vehicle self engaged brakes fully three times, while my foot was on accelerated only!
The vsa warning light keeps coming on along with an exclamation sign. It prevents acceleration and causes temporary loss of power while driving. Also, prevents use of cruise control. It temporarily resets when engine is turned off but then turns on again while driving. This occurswhile vehicle is in motion on city streets as well as highways.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While stopped at a red light she attempted to move out of the way to allow a police vehicle to pass, the engine began to idle roughly and the vehicle proceeded to accelerate. She then attempted to depress the brake pedal very hard before stopping the vehicle. On a separate occasion, while exiting the highway, she began depressing the brake to merge out of traffic at speeds of less than 15 mph, the vehicle began to accelerate at full speed. The contact continued to apply extreme pressure to the brakes and the vehicle proceeded over the median onto the grass. She was able to stop the vehicle and avoid a collision. The dealer reprogrammed the transmission sensor and advised the failure should not occur again. There were no further incidents thereafter.the failure and current mileages were under 30,000.
I forgot to add the recall number on the vsa device that locks up without drivers involvement and causes accidents. I was told by honda it is 13-098 in my former complaint today. Bottom line, if i drive it with this unsafe condition and it locks up andcauses an accident, who is liable for damages etc? if i don't drive it i have no car until repaired. Does or is honda responsible to provide us a car until ours is repaired and safe again. I received a recall notice and now tom scott honda in nampa id said they can't repair it until sometime next year because they can't get parts until then. From my understanding this vehicle is being recalled because the brakes lock up do to the vsa device malfunctioning and causing accidents in which people are getting hurt. What is the answer?
Approx 10/2/13 was driving on a road i travel frequently and was accelerating when suddenly my car lost power and slowed rapidly.i thought it was a fluke then on 10/11/13 i was driving a road i travel on daily when suddenly my car slowed by about 30 mph in just a few seconds.i put my foot on the brake and realized it was already engaged and was why i was slowing down.10/16/13 - car went to dealer to be repaired.dealer found source codes dtc 26-1 lateral acc sensor, and dtc 27-1 steering angle sensor but could not replicate and told me they did not know what the fix was.10/17/13 - was driving on the same road as on 10/11 - clanging/grating sound in steering column and then brakes engaged, was accelerating slowly prior to this.slowed down almost to a stop, then slowly accelerated again. Within a quarter of a mile it happened again (was driving slower at this time b/c i was worried it would happen again), this time the triangle w/ the exclamation point on it flickered (this is the first time it came on, all other times no lights or anything).taking it back to dealer tomorrow but unless it happens to them was told there was nothing they could do. Repeatedly told them of the investigation but they said they don't know the fix.thankfully no one was behind me during these occurrences but if they had there would have been an accident due to how fast the car decelerated.
Sudden, uncontrolled acceleration of the engine:three times within the last week our 2007 honda odyssey started rapidly accelerating (rev-ing) while i was applying brakes as i was coming to a stop sign.i avoided a possible accident by applying stiff braking pressure while rapidly putting the car in park and then turning off the engine.only after i turned off the ignition did the car stop rev-ing.that seemed to fix it the first and second time because when i turned the car back on again, it behaved normally for the rest of the trip.the third time it happened as i was slowing and coming to a stop behind another car, and after i had turned off the ignition,it starting reving again just as soon as the engine started.so i turned it off again and counted to ten, and then it started normally.i took it to the dealer and they cannot find anything wrong.they say it might be something to do with the throttle body (whatever that is) and they say they opened it up and cleaned it out, but really couldn't say what might have caused it.this is really scary because if i hadn't been able to react quickly and apply stiff braking pressure, i could have continued into traffic where i almost certainly would have been hit by cross traffic (the first two times) or would have run into the car that was stopped ahead of me (this last time).(by "rev-ing"i mean the engine is racing, i.e., making lots of revolutions per minute. As if the driver was stepping on the accelerator pedal.)
Vsa warning light went on suddenly during driving. Steering wheel feels not stablewhen turning after the light is on. Took the vehicle to honda dealer and was told the communication between the vsa module and the computer is lost and need replace vsa module for $1,600. It is not a problem caused by wear-and tear and honda should be responsible for making the electronics more reliable in odyssey models.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle decelerated independently to 20 mph. The failure occurred after the vehicle was repaired under recall nhtsa campaign id number 13v500000 (electrical system). The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the ecm, wiring harness or throttle body could have been causing the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The failure mileage was 174,600.
The contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the compressor failed to function and had to be replaced twice. The part was replaced by a dealer (honda of spring, 17350 north fwy, houston, tx 77090), but the failure recurred. The dealer indicated that the blower motor needed to be replaced. Years prior to the failures, the vehicle was serviced by more than one unknown dealer and extensive electrical repairs were made, but the remedy failed to provide a solution. An independent mechanic stated that the blower motor did not need to be replaced and the compressor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
Rear window exploded in my 2007 honda odyssey.
The rear window of my 2007 honda odyssey exploded.
While driving on the highway at about 65mph , the passenger side sliding door glass window shattered. There were no vehicle on that side of the van. The incident occurred in the houston area approx 5-6 miles after starting to drive from a covered parking garage . The outside temperature was around 90 deg f. The vehicle was taken to a honda dealer for inspection. The local honda rep refused to entertain the request as a manufacturing defect. A case n012012-08-230-0553 was opened with american honda customer care and i was promised that a rep would call me by end of day friday . However, no one called. There are several incidents reported like this on the internet , not just for the van but for other honda vehicles as well. Also , a recall has recently been issued for 2800 2011 honda odyssey vans for a similar problem with front driver and passenger windows. The ignorance on the part of honda to acknowledge this problem concerns me because any of my family members sitting in that seat would have been gravely hurt . Here are some links to some other discussion forums where people have been discussing this issue.

My 2007 honda odyssey windows won't work. The driver side window works but all other windows only make a clicking sound. It is not window locked!the windows just stopped working!
My ten year old daughter was nearly choked by the window in the door (passenger side) of my 2007 honda odyssey after the ignition was turned off.the car had just been turned off when she stuck her head out of the open window and another child mistakenly closed the window and it closed on her neck.i was still in the car and was able to restart and open the window within a few seconds so she was not seriously injured.however, had i immediately exited the car after turning it off i'm horrified to think what might have happened.
The windows would not roll back up. It was freezing outside and we were on a long road trip. Fuse box was checked. All working. Locks werechecked. All working. The driver side window is the only window that will operate. Thankfully, they rolled back up and we locked it with the main switch on the drivers side. At first they worked intermittently, however, after unlocking the safety master window switch after our vacation, the windows no longer work (except for the driver side window). This is a huge safety issue when needing fresh air, or for getting car sick. I've seen many vehicles of this same manufacturer having this same problem when searching for solutions online.
On my daughters 2007 honda odyssey, it has an automatic up feature for the drivers window.once the window starts up (closing), if you put down pressure on the window it will reverse, do down a few inches and stop.but if you put pressure on the window, like a child leaning out the window, and it starts up the override feature will not stop the window and make it go down a few inches.the window will continue to close, only stopping when the motor is overpowered.this does not happen until quite a bit of force is applied to whatever is blocking the window, and in the case of a small child it could cause quite a bit of injury.i have never encountered a vehicle with an auto-up feature for a window.with the amount of force it takes to overload the motor a child can be seriously injured.
We are owners of 2007 honda odyssey (vin # [xxx] ).on july 13, 2010 as we were pulling into a parking lot, the right hand side back window suddenly exploded.the vehicle was traveling less than 5 per hour when this happened.although four kids and one adult were in the vehicle at the time, no one was injured.we immediately reported the incident to the law enforcement (rpt # [xxx]with city of columbus div. Ofpolice).the police searched for any foreign object that may have hit the window.they found nothing inside or outside of the vehicle.although we have been experiencing temperature in the high 80's low 90's, it was in the 70's low 80's on that day.when we researched this issue on-line for similar incidents, there were numerous complaints with rear window exploding.we notified the local honda dealership immediately for potentially defective windows.although they indicated no specific complaint specific to right back window, they said honda of america will be contacted and will get back with us.we have three kids under six years of age who primarily get transported with this vehicle.to ensure the safety of our family, we request the safety concern with the window be addressed asap.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving on a highway access ramp when suddenly heard an explosion/gun type sound from the top of the mini-van (honda odyssey 2007).i exited the highway and found that the sun roof glass had shattered to pieces.i was not under an overpass and only one low profile car was slightly behind me when this happened so do not believe that this was caused by another car.glass is lifted upwards on the edges. Temperature was around 50 deg f.

While driving on the freeway with my two children, the two front wheel bearings of my 2007 honda odyssey broke!although i was able to continue to the side of the road, the car was not in any shape to continue.i took my honda to the original dealer, herb chambers honda in seekonk massachusetts.at that time, they mentioned that a broken wheel bearing is extremely dangerous and we should not be driving the vehicle.the technician said that the wheel could lock up or come completely dislodged from the frame.in addition, he assured me that my driving did not cause the break and that is a clear defect in the product.still, because the car had 61,622 miles, i was charged 700.00 to fix the bearings. I am asking nets officials to investigate honda for the wheel bearing failures on all honda odyssey minivans for the following reasons:thousands if not, millions effected - according to thousands of honda owners on the internet who have experienced the same issue, the wheel bearings break anywhere from 1200k (just off the lot) to 75k.safety ' when you continue driving a vehicle with bad bearings, the symptoms will worsen and safety risks increase. The steering wheel will become harder to control. If this happens, navigating and steering will be difficult. A wheel will become loose and move around in the wheel arch, causing damage to hub and brakes. If the wheel remains unstable, it will eventually detach from the vehicle while you are driving.abs issues - wheel bearings contain sensors that send a signal to the anti-lock braking system (abs) when the tires spin or skid. Continuing to drive a vehicle with bad bearings can cause its abs system to fail. When bearings are faulty, the abs signal light usually appears on the dash indicating the disablement of the abs system. This generally does not cause any interruptions in regular braking; however, it will suspend the abs system's aid in emergency situations or while braking on wet or slippery surfaces.

After installing new set of 4 tires for my honda odyssey and have the tires balance and align by professional goodyears service mechanics.i can feel the mini van keep pulling to the left pretty fast and dangerously.i talk to the wheel shops manager, and there is nothing they can do since the wheel alignment is fine.after looking at this issues online, i see lots of people who own 2007 honda odyssey have the same issues and turn out to be issues with the factory installed spring and strut that need to be aligned and fixed.i almost got into an accident due to the car sudden turn to the left without any kind of warning on hwy 85.
Going south on hwy 5 from just outside sacrament, (by freeport) we struck something not visible in the road and the vehicle warned us we had a flat and not to exceed 50 mph.our minivan was equipped with michelin pax system run flat tires and no spare.we pulled of the hwy at elk grove and called the local honda dealer.it was almost 5pm and they said could not help until tuesday.the manual said we could go 125 miles with a flat tire and our home was less than 60 miles away so we put on the cruise control at 50 mph on hwy 5, then hwy 12 west, and then hwy 160 south.just north of the antioch bridge the front left tire shredded and we were stranded in the middle of nowhere for over an hour until aaa provided assistance.i contacted michelin and honda on tuesday following and michelin offered to pay 30% of the cost of a new tire but nothing towards the cost of removing the tire and putting a new one on. Honda offered nothing.i rejected michelin's offer and they raised it to 50 % and i still rejected it and we have taken the vehicle to a tire store to replace all four wheels and tires because we feel the run flat system is defective and dangerous.
Front wheel bearing went bad at 40000.had it replaced at the dealership at cost to me.dealer said it was the right front that was replaced even though the feel of the problem was felt under the left front driver side.seems very early for a wheel bearing to go bad.logging this in case it is a broader issue with this model.
Frist the check enginelight came on i took it to honda what came out of that visit was a repare bill of over 4400 00 dollars then it came back on after 3wks. Now it is this tapping sound from the engine.all on the city street.
On the above i was rear ended in two vehicle accident because my honda odyssey suddenly stopped. I informed the officer, but the other was charged with the accident. (at fault).
Front passenger side tire blew out unexpectedly while sitting at a stop light. Sidewall blew a large square hole, seperating from bead. Tires had approximately 30,000 miles on them.
Tires prurchased from walmart 10/6/18 were installed improperly and they changed the manufactures calibration. The tpms light came on, i returned the van to walmart; they never fixed the problem and i made five visits.the manager did not know what a tpms sensor was; did not have any in the shop. I frequently had the air pressure in the tire checks.two weeks ago, driving the van the tires seemed to be wobbly, i had the air pressure checked again and again. On april 15, 2021, i filed a complaint with walmart at the main office and took the suv to the hammond, indiana car center. After haggling with the staff fo over 4 hours, they replaced the two tire. The problem of the wobbling tires had not been solved.only the wobbling was less noticeable.i made over 20 telephone calls to the car center without the phone being answered.today i filed another complaint with walmart headquarters.martha, the person that took the complaint stated that i would be contacted by the car center.this center should be closed; lives are at stack and the workers are rude and are not following the tread act.i never experienced the tpms coming on until walmart replaced my tires. My mechanic drive the suv and his observation was "the front tires are out of round by 1/4 inch and inner side wall bulging". His first observation was in october 2018, shortly after walmart installed the tires. On 4/15/21, i contacted goodyear and they gave no information on tpms .i do not feel safe driving this suv ad i believe that walmart is violating the tread act. They reluctantly replaced the tires, but even worse the tpms light is still on. There were no notifications posted on the walls in that carcenter.in addition, my son recently purchased tires for his suv from this same walmart he was not given any information about tpms sensors and none were installed.
Driving on a highway with my family in my honda odyssey and the front and rear left wheel bearing started to make humming noise to the point that it was too loud to drive.i did some research and it seems that honda odyssey minivans are known for the bearing problems.this is a safety matter that nhtsa should know about.
Break push automatic without my pushing,stearing hard toward one side and may be leaking,colour pills,power door actuator latch problem,pipe under engine look rotten.transmissionn noise.during driving,car break peddle work and not in my control.pax tyre one out of 4 has lost surface,thread of michelin pax tyre and in warrantee and michelin asked to go to honda dealer only and only as they only solve pax tyre problem.turning vehicle in slow speed is very hard though power stearing and noise come from power door front left driver side actuator.recall was for this car honda odessey 2007 but now web say no recall or 0 recall.i want honda to help fix all problem as a courtesy. In life my father,husband,grandpa used honda so paid huge and bought best car but give problems.

The wheel bearings of my 2007 model year honda odyssey failed while driving with my family in the highway (loud humming/grinding noise). My research has shown that the wheel bearings are failing at all mileage ranges in all 2005 and 2007 model years honda odysseys (15k, 30k, 45k, 70k and 80k).this is clearly a safety matter that can cause a crash and/or death to the driver and/or passengers if the wheel bearing or bearings come off the vehicle.this is a very popular family vehicle is the united states and honda have sold millions of honda odyssey in this country.the honda dealer service advisor communicated to me that the front wheel of my honda odyssey was in danger of coming off (this is safety matter).i repaired the vehicle at the dealer and it cost me over $1000.00 to replace the left front and rear wheel bearings of my vehicle.furthermore, the wheel alignment needed to be done by the dealer technician after the wheel bearings were replaced on my vehicle.i asked honda to cover the cost of the repair and honda headquarters customer service department declined to pay because my vehicle was out warranty.according to honda the wheel bearings come with 5 years or 60,000 miles warranty. My vehicle was over that limit.i am asking nhtsa officials to investigate honda for the wheel bearing failures on all honda odyssey minivans.i have been a loyal honda customer for years.i take my honda vehicles to only honda dealers for services and for honda to decline the reimbursement for a clear safety matter is not right.i truly hope honda headquarters in torrance, california does the right thing and makes the right decision in supporting its loyal customers and continue standing behind its vehicles and products by recalling the honda odyssey minivans before nhtsa starts an investigation.in conclusion, this is a safety matter that honda must address by recalling the wheel bearings before any one gets in an accident or crash.
Grinding noise coming from the front wheels was very audible in the cabin.took the vehicle in once and dealership advised there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.six months later the grinding noise got worse.took it in a second time and this time they told me the front wheel bearings were bad.vehicle only has 15k miles so it was covered under warranty.
