general problems of the 2007 Honda Odyssey - part 1

I took this car for a test drive. The dealer said they had repaired a number of issues such as front end work, power steering hoses, and power steering fluid. They said it had passed a safety inspection. The dealer handed me a list of all the issues with the vehicle which they chose not to repair, which include: 1) vehicle driver door lock/unlock doesn't work 2) driver sliding door doesn't work 3) beeping when turning on power sliding doors (doesn't beep if you have it off), tpms light is on (needs sensors maybe? dont know), 4) rear wiper inop those are direct quotes -- however, on the test drive I found several other issues which were alarming. 1) a bad wheel bearing in the right rear wheel was extremely loud, sounding like an airplane taking off on the highway, this was not mentioned in any way before test driving. 2) the brakes are weak and the rotors warped, pulsating during braking 3) the radio did not work and gave an "error" code 4) the seat belts have very dark markings on them either from wear or mold 5) missing rear passenger side seat 6) broken rear ventilation (blower motor likely) I thought I should report this as it was not mentioned and upon checking online this is a serious safety issue. I am surprised they passed it. [xxx] this vehicle is still for sale. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Brakes locked up and broke off stud and pads.

Recall no. 14v112000 recall no. 13v500000 I’m having problem with rough fuel system and electric system problem Honda refuse to repair these problems.

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.

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.

In life my father,husband,grandpa used Honda so paid huge and bought best car but give problems. Tel 908 240 4877 or rgpatelnyl@ yahoo. Co should be contacted please sir.

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.

Brake feels spongy when you go on the brake . Front wheels sometimes locks up. Brake fluid level drops in brake fluid reservoir no signs of leaks.

Tl 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.

Vsa light is on and having problems breaking. As well as not wanting shift past gear 3 or go more than 20mph.

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 high miles. 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. . .

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?.

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.

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 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.

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!.

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.

Very strong gas smell.

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. After the vehicle was operated, the vehicle stability assist (vsa) indicator illuminated continuously. When the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to stop completely. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but a diagnosis was unable to be provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was unaware if the vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 10v098000 (service brakes, air). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,849.

Brake peddle has excessive travel almost touches the flood when applying brakes.

Low soft brake peddle.

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.

Soft low brake peddle unsafe to drive.

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. .

A day after and 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.

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.

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 & stoped in the middle lane with no power (no lights, no beeps notning new better was instaled 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 rendemly for no reason (like doors locking or closing horn going off).

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 faster and 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.

Soft brake pedal had to pump to get good brakes an avoid a collision.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph the brakes became inoperable. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road in order for the contact to inspect the failure. The vehicle was able to be driven home without the failure recurring. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic could not diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown. Rk.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, the brakes applied independently. The contact stated that once he depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle began to drive properly but made a grinding notice. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and they stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v500000 (electrical system ) but he would have to wait until spring 2014 for parts to become available. The failure mileage was 36,000.

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 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 and causes 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?.
