5 Tail Light Switch problem of the 2009 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 02/26/2016

Subject: 2008-2009-2010 Honda Odyssey tail light defects comments: 2008-2009-2010 Honda Odyssey tail lights are susceptible to water penetration which will eventually short out the tail lights. This applies to the portion of the tail light which is attached to the rear hatch door. Water accumulates in the white part of the lens which is at the bottom of the tail light in these model years (I. E. , the back up lights). There is apparently a design or manufacturing defect in the sealed light system. I have had both tail lights replaced in my 2010 Odyssey due to water penetration & collection. I have photographic evidence to support this claim.

7 Tail Light Switch problem of the 2010 Honda Odyssey

Right tail light filled with water, requiring replacement. Now the left one is full of water too. Vehicle stationary when water observed each time, of course.

8 Tail Light Switch problem of the 2012 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 04/15/2014

Rear right side tail light developed an interior crack in it and there are no scratches or dents indicating someone hit it. Honda saw the damage when it was brought for regular service and refused to fix it saying that its our fault that the taillight cracked. The manager pressed on the crack which made it come all the way through. The car is hardly driven only for family trips and is hand washed, waxed, covered and before being placed in the garage for storage after each trip.
