Honda Odyssey Change Vehicle

"Had replace the A/C compressor several times..I believe the shop was purchasing cheap compressors"

"Ventilation system became noisy and the air would not get cold in summer"

"Compressor seized up suddenly during operation and tore itself apart. AC oil squirted onto hot block and created cloud of smoke. Ended up having to replace all AC components under the hood due to small pieces circulating through system"

"the compressor blow up completely contaminating the system."

"AC became intermittent in 2016 and failed completely in 2017. AC compressor clutch failed and found AC compressor binding. Brought in to local garage for compressor replacement. $1000 bill"

"I believe the motor that runs the compressor belt failed. New one replaced with new compressor'"

"Selection of air flow failed"

"The seat back adjustment is starting to fail. The motor is not very responsive for the seat back"

"Inability of Honda and other Honda Certified mechanics to diagnose which sub module was failing without having to pull the dashboard out of the car and disassembling it - at great expense and risk of damaging the dash board. Their solution was to th"

"Damper control motor."

"The blower motor connection burnt shorted out"

"Did not run except in highest fan setting."

"Condenser seems vulnerable to damage to road debris. We have had to replace this component twice"

"if car is cold..the heating/cooling dash indicators don't work...after 30miles they start to flicker....upon turning on the parking lights the controls(AC/HEATER) begin to flicker and eventually controls usually work..can't get the heater off to date"

"The heat/cool select doors on both the front and rear heaters were stuck on "cool." The doors had to be manually opened by our mechanic"

"The heater system stopped putting out heat in the middle of winter. Garage diagnosed problem as a failed heater control panel and it was replaced with a used junkyard part."

"Had to replace a valve and some other part to get A/C to work"

"High pressure hose leaked and required replacement"

"Compressor failure may have caused refrigerant to leak"

"leaks repaired, AC worked again after that"

"Several slow, difficult to pinpoint refrigerant leaks"

"I have to add refrigerant about every 3 to 4 yrs. There is a slow leak which has never been found or fixed."

"A buzzer keeps going off associated with the right side sliding door. Need to turn the door switch off to make it stop"

"sliding door controls and sensors failed. have to manually close the doors and turn of sensor"

"We have electric doors on both sides of the vehicle. The doors fail to latch properly. One finally latched and the other is closed but not latched. We shut off the sliding doors and never use them because we are afraid we will never get them closed"

"Rear sliding doors don't work well. One won't close all the way unless someone pushes it closed from outside. Other one occasionally has to be manually pulled open/closed since it gets stuck and motor won't work"

"There are times when one or the other of the sliding doors simple canNOT be opened. It requires someone to get in, climb over or back to the unworking door and push on it with one's feet!"

"Left passenger door would not open properly. Door alarm goes off when hitting a bump"

"Electric sliding doors sometimes fail to operate unless button on dash is used to open or close. Doors now fail to lock unless locked after doors completely close"

"The sliding doors have always stuck badly when the car gets wet. I had a door handle break off from pulling on it trying to open a door last year"

"The problem includes both the doors and the locks. People unfamiliar with the sliding feature always try to force the doors open and the mechanism is not robust enough to with stand it . Also the lock mechanisms often fail to make contact to activate"

"Three times in 14 yrs a sliding power door failed and cost about $400 to repair. The actual part was cheap but labor was the bulk of the expense"

"door handle loose"

"Driver's side sliding door is broken & will not/can not be opened. It is a pain with the grand kids & car seats!"

"One sliding door stopped latching closed and would slide open while driving"

"One is very hard to open. Also, when sliding , it grates and grinds"

"The sliding rear doors do not always close completely, or the contacts don't recongnize that the doors are closed, so I have to open and reclose them"

"Difficulty opening both sliding doors. Independent repair shop (used exclusively since 1985) was unable to resolve problem without major work (not cost effective). Doors are rarely used since my wife is only vehicle user."

"Left rear passenger door handle broke. Replaced myself with inexpensive replacement."

"seat belts are frayed"

"Electric windows - track or mechanism failed when we were out of town. Window dropped & could not be raised back up, had to take off the in-side door panel & wedge it in the upright position with a 2x4 piece of wood"

"a mount broke, and was fiixed"

"engine mounts wore out"

"I have had to have (all?) three engine mounts replaced over the past 24 months. Two were replaced more than 12 months ago and the third within the past 12 months. Issue was found during regular oil changes"

"oil leak not sure where but do not have to add oil between oil changes"

"No actual oil leak was found, but the exhaust was showing clear burn of oil as the exhaust exited the muffler"

"Old cars leak oil. And hard to fix"

"took the shop over a year to find and fix an engine oil leak"

"Had to replace the oil pump"

"Needs Valve Cover Gasket replacement $460 Engine is running fine"

"Oil pan had to be replaced, and it was complicated because it should have been done when the transmission and timing belt were done 3 years ago. There was a leak of some sort, and the engine light went on. We had it fixed as the service center said they anticipated that it would get worse over the summer with the heat."

"Use most of the oil in 3000-4000 miles. No obvious indication of what is going on."

"Leak started 2/19 repaired by Honda dealer."

"It is actually a 1997 Honda Odyssey. It has a minor oil leak. I just add a little oil between oil changes. It's not a problem. The van is amazing with 410,000 miles and no major repairs."

"Seals on the engine have deteriorated so oil leaks but less than a litre every 5,000 km."

"gasket/oil pump"

"The paint has worn down to the primer in many areas due to sun exposure. Many same generation Odyssey vehicles in our area exhibit this condition. Easy to tell if one has been garaged or not"

"Clear coat wore off. Paint peeled and faded in horrible streaks"

"paint has peeled off trim and is down to primer on the entire roof"

"Clear coat has failed on the vehicle. Paint is very faded and flaking off"

"all clear coat gone, top surfaces faded"

"18 year old vehicle has shown minor peeling in front and side. Not serious enough for a repaint."

"Clear coat on hood & roof peeled significantly before it should have."

"Both back panels by wheel starting to rust"

"Driver's rear wheel well rusted out all around the back seat latch - big time safety issue that most don't realize exists"

"Due to structural rust,we need to replace this vehicle"

"In 3 or 4 places rust - passenger side fender, driver side behind sliding door and below the gas input - has begun forming, possibly due to stone chip"

"some rust around wheel well"

"Just the rear wheel area body rusting- began several years ago - rest of the van body in very good condition."

"Rust has appeared around the wheel wells"

"Front pads & rotors needed replacing. Bearing failure in rear wheels. Mechanic stated that both are normal given my mileage"

"squeals and grabs somewhat"

"lines have been wearing and have needed to be replaced which we consider normal for a 15 year old car"

"noise"

"Break Pads needed to be replaced"

"Hhills in the Bay Area contribute to brake wear and tear."

"Had to replace both rear brake shoes, drums, and cylinders."

"The most recent vibration problem was very pronounced. It turned out it was one of the engine cylinders. Our very skillful mechanic fixed it, and it continues to run past its twentieth year."

"Rotors had poor runout and caused steering wheel shimmy during hard braking"

"Noise, vibration"

"rear brakes worn out, (200,000 Km), squeaking, replaced. Fronts now due for replacement as well"

"I had the brake drums cleaned and all is good now"

"Replaced front brake pads and rotors."

"Sometimes has severely delayed and then harsh automatic upshifting, even at low acceleration. Sometimes the engine races between gears during upshifting, and car slows down temporarily until new gear engages."

"Slipping transmission at lower gears, and all gears as the engine gets hot"

"this is the 4th transmission going into my vehicle since owning it. Honda has had issues with this model year and had previously extended the warranty"

"Continual and continuing transmission problems. Identified at around 117K, reported, dismissed by dealer. Multiple reports by other owners of same failure in their vehicles. 2nd gear gone, 3rd getting worse. Have to floor it to get from 1st to 3rd"

"We thought we got a great deal but we didn't realize the transmission was slipping. Now it has to be replaced. Still a great car but more expensive than we imagined for only 120000 miles"

"Car often doesn't complete shift quickly during automatic upshifts, instead the engine races and doesn't seem to be providing torque to wheels. The driver then has to game the transmission by lifting his/her foot off the gas momentarily, and this allows the transmission to upshift."

"The transmission has been slipping and then hard shifting from 1st speed to 2nd speed. It has been thins for at least 4 years"

"The transmission started slipping five years ago at 100,000 miles. I not start the car in low and shift up through the transmission to get it to run. I have driven the car another 30,000 miles like this."

"Did not start slipping until about 225000 miles."

"We have replaced our transmission and now the latest one is slipping."

"TRANSMISSION LINES LEAKING"

"Fixed"

"if the car is cold the transmission will not progress through the gears..starts in 4thgear..must manually use gear shift to2nd to start than manually to 4th after speed..car engine gets hot and all is normal after 30 miles of driving"

"light bulb has blown out"

"Does not work much of the time. I discovered if I turn it off and back on again, it will "set." Will not set if I don't turn off and back on."

"turn signal"

"The back light on the digital odometer went out about 2010. I was quoted about $600 to replace. I can read it during the day still. This only matters if I need to know how far I have or will need to travel (e.g. To the next gas station........at night!)"

"The head lamp failed and my adult daughter went to You Tube and followed a tutorial to repair it"

"The headlamps fail often and are very hard to change"

"Headlight covers became hazy. Needed to have the haze polished off."

"Switches wore out"

"lights on the radio, dash instruments are often not working"

"interior lights flicker due to electric sliding door control connection issues"

"The rear wiper motor no longer works and it isn't worth it to repair"

"Rear wiper motor didn't work. The mechanic told me it is burnt"

"Have had several problems with the power sliding doors"

"tight seal of sliding doors prevents doors from easily sliding open. This problem eventually wears out door handle mechanism necessitating door handle replacement"

"Both rear side window -- power-operated -- seals started leaking allowing rain water in at a fairly steady rate. We learned that the only way to guarantee solving the issue was to buy whole new window/motor units at $650.00 each!!"

"Squeaky brakes are probably just a maintainance problem"

"front steering assembly rattles"

"Noises when turning the wheel (sometimes)"

"I shouldn't include this, it is from the cracked windshield"

"various rattles from rear liftgate interior trim panel coming loose, other minor rattles"

"It just rattles in the interior going over bumps"

"It is hard to discuss a minivan that is a full 20 years on the road. Given its age, it has been an excellent vehicle. It is showing its age: sagging, squeaking, feeling a bit loose."

"Wind noise is from the driver door upper left corner"

"Battery died unexpectedly. Honda battery, four years old."

"Tuneup in AK was done with wrong spark plugs, which eventually led to coil failure and replacement"

"shaking, sputtering. Could barley get it 5 blocks to mechanic"

"Coil pack failure. Running on partial cylinders. Able to drive to independent mechanic"

"Coils on three of six cylinders apparently crapped out. Replaced all six to be on the safe side"

"Computer failed"

"PART MALFUNCTION IN ELECTRICAL"

"One of the spark plugs exploded out of the engine. I had taken it into a local auto repair shop to diagnose the problem and they said it was something else. A week later, on the day I took my son and his friends to his 15 year birthday party, the spark plug blew out on the freeway and I had to get off. I took an Uber 35 miles away to get the boys to the party on time. It ended up costing us almost $900 to get it repaired at a different place we trusted."

"Had a problem with wheel bearing so they replaced the axel."

"Subsequently determined that the traction control issue is related to the defective transmission"

"I drove over a curb and caught the exhaust system on it. It tore the exhaust system loose from the engine"

"The exhaust system was holding together, just, but holding together, when a loose large stone bounced off the pipes/catalytic converter / muffler and cracked it; without this happening the exhaust system may have lasted"

"Volume control knob does not properly regulate the volume of the radio. Fortunately, steering wheel volume control still works correctly"
