Vehicle requires a jump start at least once a day in the course of normal use, no lights left on, no doors left open, no use of accessories without the car running. We will drive the car somewhere, be there for any length of time from 5-10 minutes at a gas pump to a few hours at a family members hour or a few days on a camping trip. The next time we try to start the vehicle, it will not start without a jump. This is the vehicle my wife and children use and I have to keep a portable jump starter in the car to avoid my wife and kids being stuck waiting for aaa to come jump the vehicle. 2 years old, just over 17,000 miles and we have had it in the dealer for multiple days and they tell us there is nothing wrong with it. This has to be some kind of electrical glitch or problem and it's frustrating that Honda has no answers.

Initially noticed starting problem where car wont start. Then got a p060a code and vsa light noticed low battery and hooked up a battery charger. I noticed a clicking sound like the starter was engaging several times and all the cabin lights were on, all on its own. I have noticed the cabin light was on before when I first came to the car and I simply thought that kids opened the door before me. Now I am suspicious that the car is running the starter and turning on the cabin light is draining the battery. This issue might occurred earlier as I had to change the battery after about 2 yrs. After the car was bought new. This car is equipped with push button start.

My car's starter broke and the mechanic then told me that the engine mounts in the front and rear were broken and needed replacing. In doing an online search, I discovered that this is a common and nagging problem with Odyssey owners. I have owned 6 cars and never heard of such a thing! thankfully the problem is being fixed before it caused an accident. Is there a recall or planned recall for this problem? my extended warranty expired 2,000 miles ago. Thank you.

We bought a 2011 Odyssey ex in mid November of last year and had an after market remote starter put in the week after we got it. A few days later, the vsa light came on. After 3 trips to Honda they finally fixed it, the whole module was burnt out. A week or so later, the low battery light started coming on. After maybe 4-5 trips back to Honda, they say Honda is aware of this problem but there is nothing that can be done. I don't drive long distance being a mom of 3 kids. They say short distances for this car are causing the problem. So it's my fault I don't drive that much and not far!!! the light comes on and the chimes several times each day when I open the door and sometimes when I turn the car off. The low battery light and chimes also goes on when I'm just sitting in the car w/ the engine off and keys out of the ignition. It's really getting annoying and they have no solution for the problem. You buy a new car for all that money and you don't expect to see problems in such a short amount of time. In the 4 months since owning the car, I have 2000 miles and the problems started at about 150 miles. I love the car except for the low battery light on all the time. What's going to happen in the future w/ it?.

The contact owns a 1999 Honda Odyssey. While driving at speeds of 80 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled and restarted without driver intent. The vehicle continued to proceed throughout the failure. The dealer stated that there were two previous recalls for the starter, both of which the vehicle received repairs under the recall campaign. The dealer stated that the manufacturer would not offer any assistance with any further repairs to the vehicle. Repairs would be made at the owners expense. The contact was concerned and did not believe that failure was caused by the starter; yet, that there could possibly be a defect in the ignition wires. The failure mileage was 212,000.
1999 Honda Odyssey. While driving various speeds, the vehicle sporadically stalled without warning. Speed was not a factor at the time of the failure. I called the dealer in reference to NHTSA campaign id number 02v120000 (electrical system:ignition:switch) (also Honda service bulletin 02-031) and they stated the recall was already done. I would be responsible for the repair costs. I contacted Honda corporate (case# n032009-10-xxxxxxx) and they stated I would be responsible for the repair costs. Clearly there is a defect in the "improved" ignition switch used for the recall; the replacement cost should be covered by Honda. The vehicle was repaired at a cost of $250, plus $110 to reconnect the aftermarket remote starter. The failure mileage was 125,000 and current mileage was 125,000.
1999 Honda Odyssey lx engine suddenly stops while in traffic (3 times), no warning lights, no power steering, no power brakes. This model was recalled in 2002 for faulty ignition starter switch that had contacts corrode and stop engine as if the ignition key had been shut off. This Odyssey had ignition switch replaced in 2004 at 71,000 miles now has 120,000 miles.
Original owner of this vehicle and I've had to replace the transmission twice, the a/c system 3 times and starter. Numerous electrical problems with the doors and windows and recently had to replace the ignition switch that seized one afternoon. All service intervals have been followed as with my other vehicles that have had tires and fluid changes with no other fixes. The paint continues to flake off even after Honda of concord, nc repainted half of the vehicle. 2 years ago. Vehicle has left my wife stranded on dozens of occasions along with the vehicle's 9th battery since 2004. Selling this vehicle is not an option but replacing it is. It will not be replaced with another Honda product ever and I caution anyone who is ever in the market for one of these vans to avoid them at all cost. The dealerships have been nothing but a nightmare to work with and would not cover any of the repairs I listed above. They are junk.
