Body problems of the 2007 Honda Odyssey - part 2

Hi, I own Honda Odyssey 2007 and I've notice the paint from the roof top toward the front side is peeling off slow and its getting bigger and bigger. This paint is not cause by any accident damage or anything but I believe its defected by the Honda manufacture painting it self. I've checked online about this problem and a lot of owner of this type of car have the same problem. Honda company should be responsible to repair this kind of defect at no cost to any Honda owner's.

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.

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 contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the rear lift gate failed while he unloaded items. The contact mentioned that as a result of the failure, the gate droped impacting the contact in the head. The contact inspected the lift gate and found the tail gate struts fractured. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not include in NHTSA campaign number 12v062000 (structure). The approximate failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 82,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while attempting to stop the driver side power sliding door by positioning her body in the path of the door, the door continued to close entrapping the baby inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 80,000.

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.

Passenger side rear sliding door fell off when it was opened. Roller assembly had broken, cables were still attached.

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!!!!!!.

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'.

Left side (driver side) power door stopped working. Door can't be opened either under power or manually.

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the rear passenger side sliding door closed on a child, causing bruises to the childs right hand. The contact stated that the door should have retracted when it sensed an obstruction but it did not. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a complaint was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey touring. The contact stated the rear hatch on the vehicle slammed shut while it was in the upright position. When it closed, it damaged the bottom of the hatch. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who inspected the vehicle and stated the struts had failed. There were no recalls and she will be responsible for the repairs. The manufacturer was contacted and informed her that there were no related recalls and to take the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000.

Drivers side rear sliding door fell off when it was opened. Cables were still attached. Roller assembly had broken.

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 avaialble for inspection and they cannot therefore confirm or deny whether 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.

Lots of car stopped on the hwyway 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 thout 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 bumpper and body frame need straight.

Mechanical sliding side doors 1) when parked on a hill, frnt end dwnhill the sliding door opens all of the way then slams forward frm 4 to 6 inches back toward the frnt jam, the force will knock a child down 2) the door does not have a sensor ( like an elevator) that something or someone might be n its path when closing & it will close on anything or anyone in its path when closing. My child got her arm crushed btwn the door & the jam when the door closed on her. I had opened the door w/ the remote, I reached n & the door began to close b4 I could back out & crushed me betwn the door & the jam, even after making contact w/ my body it continued to crush me, the only way n both instances to stop the door frm crushing my 4yr old's arm frm her body & it doing I have no idea the extent of what it would have done to me, was to get 2 the manual handle nside the door. The remote will not stop it & the dashboard button will not stop it. The re ote does not have an open & shut button for the door. Remote buttons are a minor point, the doors need sensors. 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.
