Body problems of the 2006 Honda Odyssey - part 1

The power sliding door on my driver's side completely fell off. This is due to a faulty hinge with plastic rollers that was I told totally disentgrate after being used normally. This hinge is located at back part of sliding door. I had no warning in any way. There was no warning lights or any sounds of any kind that told me something was wrong. I was closing my door after loading my groceries into my vehicle when the door literally fell off hinges and onto me. Luckily, it was me and not one of my children as I could just barely bear that weight and ended up hurting my back and shoulder because of it. There is no way that they could have, it would have crushed them! my vehicle is available to view issue at request. Please check into this it definitely needs to be recalled and fixed before a child gets hurt! there are thousands of people that have dealt with this happening to them with their Honda Odyssey, why hasn't this vehicle been recalled and fixed? what is going on?.

Both of the automatic sliding doors have came off tracks and fell off and will not close all the way it seems the door is only in place with a wire that supports the sliding component and has fallen off and the doors now are only supported by a single top track and this is a safety issue due to passengers riding in the van and if this falls off going down the road it could cause a accident.

The sliding door on the driver side has had trouble latching. It has repeatedly caused the battery to drain and has been previously repaired at an independent service center. On 7/16/21, the same sliding door wouldn't close and fell off. The slider center wheel detached causing the door to fall off the track. This resulted in body damage to the side of the vehicle as well as the door needing to be repaired. The vehicle is currently at a body shop, an independent service center. There were no warning lamps on. The door could have injured myself or my son but fortunately we were able to catch it.

My car was parked in the front the house and its just caught fire we called the emergency and the fire truck the make report but the police didn't make any report.

Door stopped working left and right side. . . Now the door fell off. Car was parked. Could've been driving though. Very dangerous. Read many many many (hundreds) of peoples posts about this happening to their Honda Odyssey�s. There should be a recall.

Van doors opened by themselves going 60 down the highway while my children were in the vehicle. Happened 3 separate times.

I got my kids out of the van and went to close the door when I was closing the door it fell off in my hand luckily one of my children weren't closing the door as it would have crushed them.

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

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

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

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while stationary, the left side sliding door fell became detached its hinges. In addition, the right side sliding door became stuck on more than one occasion. A dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000. Ad.

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

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

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. While the contact was loading the trunk, the hatch slammed down without warning. The contact stated that the rear struts that held the door suddenly failed and had to be manually opened or closed. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.

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

Passenger side sliding door does not open. If opened does not close at the first attempt, it takes atleast 3-4 attempt to close or open. Sliding door light is on.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the passenger side sliding door suddenly detached from the rails and separated from the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.

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

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

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

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

Takata recall. My Honda van has been losing paint for about 2 years now and its getting worse. I have big spots on my roof, hood and sliding doors. I would like this issue fixed ASAP.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that he observed the passenger sliding door was inoperable unable to open-close it was seized. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 151,000. Lb.

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

My 2006 Honda Odyssey went up in flame, while I was driving the vehicle, on 10/11/14. Insurance had me tow it to the Honda dealer. After Honda having the car for 31 days the insurance paid the repairs & I paid my $500. 00 deductible. I'm ready to drive my Honda Odyssey away on 11/13/14, and I notice the van began to shake violently and the rpm's dropped to almost 0. No report was given to me about what was wrong with van & what future repairs had to be done. All I got was the present repairs due to the fire, even after we had asked them to do a full inspection of the vehicle. Prior to the fire the van never shook, it never had this problem before. While there, they performed the changing of the fuel pump which had been recalled by Honda, but now we can not be sure that it was done nor can we be sure that it didn't affect the cars status now. Honda still has the van in their lot & insurance adjuster went to see the car and now Honda is saying that the shaking of the car has nothing to do with the fire. According to Honda's final report the "probable" cause of fire was in the alternator area -sub-cord alternator to fuse box. Honda said the shake is caused by the rubber motor mounts. I tried to tell Honda they are rubber pieces and when rubber comes in contact with heat it melts. Honda will not fix without me paying out of pocket. If the problem really is the motor mounts, I have researched that many people are awaiting a recall from Honda on the motor mounts for the fact that theirs prematurely fails. Honda has us on a back and fourth. If they can't be sure what caused the fire and are disregarding the motor mounts going bad due to the fire or the fuel pump recall, then how can they be sure that none of the above is not causing the violent shake on the van.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 15 mph, the driver side rear door automatically opened. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000. Pam.

After opening the rear hatch the strut(s) failed and the hatch slammed shut. Fortunately no one was in the way of the hatch when it slammed down.

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

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

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that was attempting to close the rear passenger sliding door, the door failed to close. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed the door needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired however, three years later the door failed to function. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 250,000.

Passenger side sliding door failed to disengage the lock. Had to take to the dealer where they removed the door panel and replaced the latch. Since the door would not open they had to do this from the inside of the vehicle. On 9/1/2012 the driver side sliding door also failed to disengage the lock. I have not had this repaired yet. I believe this is a safety defect. Luckily both times we were parked, but if it had been an emergency valuable time would have been wasted in trying to get a non-functioning door to open.

Based on a report today that Honda is recalling 2003/2004 Honda Odyssey where the issue involves the ignition interlock, a device intended to ensure that the key can only be removed when a vehicle is firmly shifted into park. I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey and had a similar issue in 2010 where after parking and removing my keys and I got down, the van moved backwards and the my front door hit another car in the parking lot damaging both cars, and I had to file a claim with unitrin direct. The result being I have a fault accident record on my license and my insurance went up for no fault of mine. I think Honda should recall even the 2006 model and pay me back from my repairs and extra insurance payments that I have paid and work with dmv/unitrin to remove the fault accident record that I have on my license.

Well, I'm owner of a vehicle that I recently bought. I noticed that the car has to different shades of color, and I think that this car has been damaged. I would like to find information about it.

My 2006 Honda Odyssey's rear spoiler flew off the back of the vehicle while driving along an interstate narrowly missing the vehicle behind me. The spoiler apparently broke due to normal use while the vehicle had some ice on the roof. The extended warranty coverage I purchased denied coverage. I paid to replace the spoiler.

Front door detents to hold door open the slightest breeze or angle closes the door on your leg or hand.
