Suspension Problems of Honda Odyssey - part 2

I purchased a 2021 Honda Odyssey with 55,000 miles on it. At 57,000 miles with normal driving conditions, I heard a metal on metal noise on rear passenger side. Upon taking it to the mechanic, both rear springs were rusted & broken - essentially giving my van no rear suspension and making it very dangerous to drive. I had to find a new vehicle for my kids for a month and a half as there is no aftermarket part. Honda would not find the part for me and wanted me to work through the dealership, but I did not have the time as this is family vehicle that I need each day. I had an independent mechanic find a pair of springs from a junkyard & he confirmed that in his 40 years of servicing exclusively Hondas, he's never seen springs fail like this at this mileage. He expected a faulty part. I drove this vehicle multiple times thinking that it was safe & only something loose in the car. At any moment, the suspension could have failed & caused a serious accident. I do have the springs & have attached photos. Component has not been inspected by anyone other than myself & mechanic. No prior warnings or messages noting a problem.

While driving on highway rear left spring which is a ver heavy duty spring broke into pieces without any accident but could have caused catastrophic event. This needs to be investigated as per even dealer said this is very unusual , this sprng coil never breaks and could cause death. This is a metallic issue with mattel.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while his wife was exiting a parking lot driving approximately 5 mph, the passenger’s side rear of the vehicle unintendedly lowered approximately 8 inches. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger’s side rear coil spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

Three times now our 2020 Honda Odyssey's entire instrument and infotainment system has gone out - both screens at the same time just don't turn on. Which means we have no mph gauge or back up camera. It is extremely unsafe to drive without a speedometer and we paid extra to get a van with a backup camera and now we don't even have that. We've taken it to Honda and are getting charged to replace the entire system, even though it is clearly a connection issue (since it turns back on by itself). On the exact same vehicle, the entire right rear shock is completely blown out and needs replaced. Both happened with no warning. Honda is not helping on a vehicle that only has 40,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the vehicle hit a bump the rear end stated to shake. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to drive the vehicle however, when a bump was hit the rear end would bounce several times. The contact stated he had a friend drive the vehicle and confirmed that there was an issue with the rear end of the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure as rusted rear struts for the passenger and driver side as well as one of the struts was broken. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacture notified of the failure however, the contact was unaware of a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Passenger side sliding door jammed halfway open and would not close or open. Had to have the car towed to the mechanic and have all components of sliding door replaced (twice!). Driver's side strut spring broke under normal use - with 62000 miles on the vehicle. Now rear backup camera/gps/radio unit has ceased working at all. Passenger side door also randomly begins to close part way through opening, nearly injuring my child's friend who was exiting the vehicle.

Vehicle makes noise at low speed when turning at inclined or passing over speed bump. I went 4 different dealers regarding this problem but they can not figure out the problem. First, dealership said nothing wrong with vehicle. Then I took van to different dealer and they replaced front driver side strut. After few days started hearing noise again. So I took van to different dealership and they retorque sub frame bolt and said problem is fixed. Again, I heard the noise next day so I took it dealership again. After looking at vehicle, they concluded that bushing is making noise but they refused to replace it. I have looked at Honda Odyssey forum and redditt, it is known problem with Honda Odyssey and they are unable to fix the problem.

2015 Honda Odyssey steering rack leaked while driving vehicle on the highway and front lower control arm bushing broke due to age of the vehicle. Honda dealer has suggested not to drive vehicle until steering rack is replaced/fixed. Honda dealer has warned as it is safety hazard to other vehicles on the road. Vehicle component was inspected by Honda dealer and has recommended to replace steering rack as it is leaking. There were no warning lamps, message or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. It was diagnosed by Honda dealer during multipoint inspection.

The original tires on this car needed to be changed around 20k miles. I asked the dealer to align it in 2021 after getting new tires. I barely put 8k miles per year on this minivan. Recently when I went for a rotation I was told that they are wearing unevenly. I went to get an alignment and was told that the rear driver camber was out of spec and the rear passenger toe was out of spec. The problem is that you are unable to make those adjustments on the rear. This means that it came like this out of the factory and is rapidly wearing tires on the vehicles. I did a search online and found other people from 2019 model years who experience this issue. I had the knuckle on the passenger side replaced for $900. But then found out about the drivers side toe being out of spec. I find this abominable that the car came from the factory out of spec in the steering/suspension. There's no way I could have hit something hard enough to knock it out of spec without there being other damage to the car. I would like Honda to reimburse me the cost and to fix the steering knuckle for the rear drivers side. I also would like a safety notice issued to people that their tires may wear rapidly due to inability to adjust camber/toe on the rear. I only noticed now when I go to get the tires aligned. Its been 5 years I had the car.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 mph, there was a loud bang followed by a rattling sound coming from the passenger’s side rear tire. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and parked. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the suspension spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 101,000.

Unable to fully align tires specifically rear camber of the wheels. There is no adjustment only option presented is an aftermarket solution.

Passenger rear shock absorber separated at the top of the outer tube. Complete loss of damping and most of the shock oil. The shock absorber was in two pieces. Photos attached.

The inside shoulder of all four tires are bald and unsafe. The rest of the tire tread has ~7/32 of depth remaining. Because this suspension issue only affects the inside edge of the tire it is difficult to detect. Not all gen 5 Honda Odysseys have this problem but I've read of others with the same problems as mine. The tires cross the threshold of 2/32" by approx. 23k miles. When the rest of the tire still looks good the avg consumer is not inspecting the inner shoulder because it would require tire removal or getting under the vehicle. Therefore, the issue goes undetected until a traction event occurs.

Vibration between 30-40 mph is usually caused by axles of this car, 06-09 models, that might have safe issue in long run.

In have traffic on hwy van quit pulling causing a major traffic problem upon checking Honda failed to mount a proper cooling system for the trans even though they acknowledge doing so refuse to do anything about it apparently there's a lot of these on road luckily someone wasn't killed that day.

Both front coil springs broke resulting in a jagged piece of metal coming loose from the vehicle. The first spring broke and was replaced in 2020 and just replaced the other side in 2022. The vehicle currently only has about 95,000 miles. Wanted to report this because I have never had a vehicle break on coil spring, much less two in such a short time period.

When echo light on the ban vibrate the mechanic said it's the rear motor mount.

Steering wheel has been vibrating. Took to pass safety inspection and failed due to rear motor mount defect.

My 2004 has codes relating to transmission problems, along with ongoing codes for emission problems. I have taken it in and it dose need a new transmission. It also needs emission work . I have been told that this rare with this make and model. Also the input for the gas is not working well.

The front suspension struts makes popping noise when steering vehicle extreme left or right and parking lot speed. If you turn complete right or left while vehicle is stand still and start driving, you hear these noise like axle cracking. Got it inspected with local mechanic and he said its struts making these noise which is surprising because vehicle is only 3 years old and only has 32500 miles. He said this noise has no safety risk but contact Honda dealership to see if they have any recall associated to it.

I purchased a 2009 Honda Odyssey from west auto sales located at 6145 e. Lancaster rd. Fort worth, TX 76112 on 03/27/2021. I have had nothing but problems with it. The first two days of driving it the check engine light came on due to the catalytic convertor needing to be replaced. The dealership managed to get the check engine light off without replacing it. A few days after getting the car back the serpentine belt broke off. I notified the dealer and brought it back to them. They informed me that there was a bolt broken inside the tensioner and it would take four days in order to get the tools and supplies needed in order to fix it. The next day I received a phone call from the dealer and told that they got the bolt out with no problem and put a new tensioner in and replaced the belt. Not even a week after that the belt came off again and I had to have it towed to firestone complete auto care and they told me that the same broken bolt was still there holding together the tensioner. All the dealership did was put jb weld on the broken bolt to hold it together. I have notified the seller and got no help. Now my van isn't drive able and it will cost another $800 to get it fixed the right way. I did a carfax report on the vehicle and found out that it has even been in a wreck that wasn't disclosed. I have been told by two different mechanics that I was sold a lemon.

My car was stationary, and someone hit it on the driver side and sped off. They backed into me hard though and messed up the back driver side door off won't open.

Transmission currently vehicle has less than 88,000 miles and transmission is about ready to fail completely hard gear shifting and when shifting from park to reverse or drive transmission makes a big metal clunk and harsh movement of vehicle.

2005 Honda Odyssey �-the sliding doors fell off !!!!!!. I researched and discovered a numerous amount of problems with the sliding doors. There is a recall for newer models and they too have the exact same issues. The problems range from a grinding noise , auto doors not opening completely than closing. To the back of the door slightly opening then the beeping indicator is constantly on while driving. The battery is being drained because the doors never close completely. The center rollers are cheap plastic which I believe causes the grinding noise. Once they wear out it gets worse. These are not some isolated complaints!! there are too many others with every year of the Odyssey that have these issues !! and now I finally see a recall. All theses issues have happened during different times. Some while stationary. Some while driving. The worst one where the door literally fell off was parked in my drive way. (thank god) I took it to the dealership and they diagnosed the problem and rigged my door but it is not safe to drive. Why was this not recalled a long time ago?? there are too many complaints to ignore this !! the newer models have been recalled for this exact problem . I owned an accord for 14 years over 300,000 miles. The best car I ever had. Than bought this 2005 Odyssey and just recently purchased a 2018 crv ex. It's wrong that Honda does not back up their reputation.

Frist the check engine light came on I took it to Honda what came out of that visit was a repare bill of over 4400 00 dollars then it came back on after 3wks. Now it is this tapping sound from the engine. All on the city street.

After experiencing increasing vibration only during acceleration while driving the 2006 Honda Odyssey, I did some research. As it turns out, the engine mounts (alternately referred to as "motor mounts") are an extremely well-known defect among consumers. I was as much as told by the pleasant young woman who answered at Honda consumer affairs that because the safety concerns of broken engine mounts are negligible, that the manufacturer doesn't really care - despite the fact that is a known defect, is extremely prevalent, is recurring requiring many owners to replace the mounts 2,3 4 or more times over the course of ownership, it has a known cause (the "eco drive" system, and can be very expensive to repair. In fact, what she actually said was that my car did not have a recall associated with it. When I informed her that I already knew that, but wanted to register a complaint with Honda and to inquire as to the likelihood of any sort of compensation or repair, I was told to file this complaint. I again explained I'd like to deal with Honda, and was again assured that no one there - no one - was interested in hearing my concerns, nor would anyone there do anything about it without intervention from the government. Why has Honda not issued a recall? excessive vibration at high rates of speed can, and does, cause issues with stability and control. The range of speed at which this problem occurs is widening, and the vibration is becoming increasingly strong. As of now, it occurs only while accelerating, not at all during coasting, mostly at highway or freeway speeds, or lower speeds during rapid acceleration.

Clunking sound when turning. Something appears to be loose.

1. 2nd row driver and passenger seats do not "lock" into place when folded forward, creating a "free flying" seat when driving/in motion and an entrapment issue when parked for 3rd row passengers attempting to exit the 3rd row. This is specially dangerous on a hill. My 3 year old has been hit and injured by the seat on a several occasions. 2. Engine lurches and stalls while in motion. Stalling causes potential risk for accident. 3. Driver and passenger sliding door will not open on occasion. This means getting 2nd and 3rd row passengers out of trunk or climbing through to driver/passenger seat. All of these have been brought to the attention of the dealership, they cannot reproduce 1 and 3. Had no solution for #2 (a simple locking addition to the seat footing would fix #2, Toyota sienna's lock on place).

The 2008 Honda Odyssey exl was parked in the driveway. The rear hatch suddenly fell on my back & shoulder when leaned in to get bags from the trunk. I had to struggle to lift the heavy hatch to get out. Took the car to Honda dealership. Dealership said there is no warranty/recall and will have to order the replacement struts. Cost for parts was $171. 40, plus labor. Called Honda of America recall 800-999-1009 and informed them of the issue to make them aware of the safety problem. Honda of America regional manager based out of CA, seth called back (7/20/18) who said this an old van that is long out of warranty and implied normal wear & tear issue. When we said there appears to be a recall issued for this very same problem on 2008 & 2009 Honda Odyssey models, was told our VIN # is not covered by the recall even-though it appeared to us to be same problem. Told there is nothing Honda can do. Being a life long owner of Honda vehicles past and present, I did not expect such apathy and disappointed by Honda's lack of customer service and concern for consumer safety. Prior to this incident, we were not aware that there may be an issue. At minimum, safety notice should have been sent to all 2008 Honda Odyssey owners to make them aware as this is not the type of normal wear &tear requiring replacement.

When your driving around 60 to 70 front end starts shaking, vibrating when you let off the gas peddle it stops but when you accelerate it starts again I have read many post of the same issue I have replaced all wheels and same thing is happing.

Van only has 61,000 miles and the transmission will not shift into gear when driving, it just revs at very high rpm's. Also when making a left hand turn there is a rattle in the left rear tire area like a spring is broken but there is nothing visually wrong. . . .

My minivan has 38000 miles and start with a small noise went I make a right turn and getting worst, I took it to the mechanic and they don't know where the noise is coming from. The point is this vehicle we don't use a lot and we have mostly hi way miles, we have not even finish pay for it and we feel like we driving an old car. I read some reviews and other people has the same issue.

The rear tire went flat rather suddenly. Honda does not make the camber adjustable (unlike other manufacturers), which leads to inner tire wear. This affects the handling and ability to break. We did not have an accident this time, but I am not comfortable that this won't be the case in the future. Honda does this so that the customers have no choice but to have costly routine maintenance and purchases (new tires). It is shameful.
