general problems of the 2006 Honda Odyssey - part 2

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.

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

The problem is whit the paint.

Grinding, crunching noise coming out of the dash behind the steering wheel area. Constant noise, no matter the speed or circumstance.

I have found 1000+ people with this exact same problem and yet cannot find that Honda has done anything about it. The audio for the wireless dvd input stops after 10 - 20 minutes of watching a dvd. It just starts to buzz and fails to work. I have found threads where some Honda dealerships are not charging for the fix while others are. The audio works on the wireless headphones on all other inputs (am/fm, cd, aux) just not dvd.

I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey lx minivan. The ac stopped working. Twice. Within warranty time/mileage. The dealer told me that the ac condenser was damaged by stone, causing leakage of cfc. I called Honda, they claimed that they have nothing to do with it. Even the front grille they installed in their newer models are "for any number of reasons, not necessarily to fix this design flaw". Cfc kills ozone layer. I feel bad my van dumped two tanks of cfc into the (already badly polluted) atmosphere . Honda's bad design causes big time pollution, and it is a problem that can be fixed with a tiny cost added to the vehicle. Honda cuts corners, and this is a bad one. It causes consumers so much, because Honda wants to save a couple of bucks. Other car makers may have the same issue - they do not cover fragile part in the vehicle properly.

The a/c started blowing hot air on 6/10/07. The dealer informed us there would be a $195 inspection fee before repairs were started. We were informed a rock hit the condenser, and repairs would not be under warranty. We were shown no evidence of the damage. The dealer implied this was a rare problem, yet insisted that american Honda would not cover any part of the response, as the dealer had dealt with them on this issue in the past. Not wanting to waste the $195 inspection fee, I gave the go ahead to what I found out later was an over-priced $840 repair. This is an obvious design flaw, one that american Honda told me was addressed in the 2008 model redesign. I am pursuing this issue with the attorney general's office.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. While driving 75 mph on a windy day, the contact heard a rattling noise. The noise intensified to a thumping sound and the contact pulled off the road. He discovered that the rear spoiler was hanging from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the hooks failed and the spoiler could not be defective. The current mileage is 12,780 and failure mileage was 12,400.

Concerned with advertisement for the Honda odyessy. Commercial shows two children in a the van watching a dvd. Van is parked in the driveway in apparent warm months as depicted by the clothes worn by the actors and appearence of leaves on trees, flowers, etc. Commercial highlights the features of the vehicle, but it also shows a parent shutting the vehicle's doors with the kids in the vehicle watching the video. This could be misleading to some kids encouraging them to play in a vehicle. Kids don't think about the dangers of heat in vehicles.
