general problems of the 2006 Honda Odyssey

The back doors start to open and close alone, then they did not open. I had to disconnect the electric doors . And the a/c it turns on by itself.

Electrical issues.

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.

The sliding doors, pop open when driving down the road , when done driving the vechile I have to unhook my battery because the doors draw power and will kill my battery, the automatic doors do not open you have to manually open them up.

Power tran failed. Missing fire 3 spark plugs rear side engine.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. While operating the vehicle, the turn signal, windshield wiper, and various electrical features including the electronic liftgate and sliding doors would not operate. Also, the doors would not unlock when using the key fob. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 130,000.

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

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at 65 mph, the vehicle dash board warning lights all illuminated, then the brake pedal engaged without being depressed. The contact stated the light warning lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was parked however upon return the vehicle was unable to be restarted. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,000. Ah.

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

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

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

Power windows stop working except the driver side.

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

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated the ignition key became stuck however, after numerous attempts the key would turn in the switch. The failure recurred sporadically. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was unavailable. Js.

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

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

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 15 mph, the vehicle battery warning light illuminated and the vehicle lost power for 15 seconds before functioning normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where the contact was advised that they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 82,000.

According to the dealer the abs modulator is malfunctioning.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the rear sliding doors failed to close. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the sliding doors were repaired, but the failure recurred. The specifics of the parts replaced were unknown. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

Sudden acceleration. Motor began racing at a stop sign, at first thought that my vehicle's brakes had failed as it lurched forward. Was able to put neutral and turn off engine.

Driver was switching lane on a freeway. The signal did not work. On the same day, the power door lock and power sliding door and keyless entry did not work too. After taking it to Honda, according to their service bulletin on 11/12/08, they claimed it is a electrical problem and b-can dtc after exposure to the water leaks. The service bulletin claimed water enter where the connector c701 behind the left rear side trim panel. The correction action is seal the pwr sliding door pulley mount, reposition the foam block, dry connector c701, and apply dielectric grease to the connector. If the issue occurs outside of the warranty, a goodwill consideration would be offer but needs to be requested. I end up paying half which I don't think it is fair because: 1) I park my van in my garage 2) my van is 4 yrs old and is only 37k young, 3) I live is a relatively dry climate, in CA for these reasons, my car is indoor 95% and spends 98% of its time in dry climate. I believe this issue is a defect and does cause a serious safety issue because it impacts turning signals. Another reason why I think it is unfair is the day I got my car back after it was in the shop for 5 days, it was working when I picked it up and then by the time I got home, it wasn't working. I think there is something else wrong and I don't think they have identify a root cause.

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.

I was cleaning my 2006 Honda Odyssey when I noticed after lifting up the hood of the minivan that the grounding strap from the engine chassis was not attached to a non-painted surface on the chassis. The surface that the strap was attached to was painted the same color as the minivan. I took out my ohmmeter and measured about 100 and 200 milliohms from lug to chassis at two different points. This is significantly higher than what is allowed by electrical safety guidelines and e3 standards. This flaw could cause electrical safety and e3 issues with the vehicle.

The rear headphone system (both wired and wireless headphones) does not work when the dvd system is in operation. The headphones work for cd and radio functions, but not the dvd. This appears to happen primarily when the car is in gear. When I get in the back to check out the system while the car is in park, it works fine. When we've started driving, it stops. I have researched the problem online and found that this is a recurrent problem with hundreds of other Honda owners.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the air conditioner would blow, but the air was not cold. The dealer stated that there was a hole in the air condenser. The VIN and engine size were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 20,000.

Loss of power steering and altenator due to belt slipping when driving on rain covered roads. This auto only has 33,000 miles.

In November 2005 I purchased a new 2006 Honda Odyssey exl. Within a few days the driver's side power window (it is worth mentioning that I have not had any problem with the other power windows) often times did not close when I tried to close it. The worst times are when it rains or the temperature is cold. While under warranty I took the vehicle to another Honda dealer to have the window repaired. They attempted the repairs but were unable to fix the power window. I tried many jiffy lube and liquid wrench to lubricate the window per the dealer's recommendation but the result has been only temporary and the window continues to stay down when it should be closing.
