Honda Odyssey

"the bushings were damaged by the dealership and when replaced by an independent service station, the dealer ripped both of them when I returned to get the airbags serviced. I cannot afford to replace them, again. Huntington Honda sucks"

"Sway bar bushings needed replacement - completely worn out"

"One of the hoses failed"

"leaking hose resulting in noise from lack of fluid and possible pump damage"

"I've given up looking for the tell tale stain of oil or other car fluids under my car. There are too many competing liquids around here. So when turning the steering wheel caused an enormous wheezing groan to emerge from the wheel wells I thought the transmission might have given up the ghost. Turned out it was the power steering fluid tube leaking. That only cost $300 to fix. Anyway, until the steering linkage goes out completely. said my trusted mechanic. We know each other so well, we tell each other what our kids are up to. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing..."

"Leaks in two of the hoses, the most expensive being the one that runs along the oil pan. Also an O ring leak fixed."

"Main pressure hose leaked. Possibly due to the fact that the wires on the pressure switch were broken ( know problem with these). Fix both myself"

"High pressure hydraulic hose developed a leak. Lack of hydraulic fluid in the system caused the pump to fail."

"Leak on power steering hose"

"Pressurized Hose needed to be replaced. Oil seals needed to be replaced"

"They just wore out. I was not surprised given the age and mileage. I needed new tires. The old tires were close to worn out and had a bad wear pattern, which a attributed to the worn struts."

"Struts and Shocks wear out around every 90k miles."

"All suspension components are worn out and need to be replaced. However this is simply due to age, not any inherent design flaw."

"right front wheel made fwap fwap noise, and fell off. left front wheel made blup blup noise."

"worn out, loose rattling"

"Rear struts were bad, one leaking. Not suprising given age an duse of car. I had a bad experience at the Honda dealer in getting it fixed"

"wear and tear of normal use"

"Becoming worn, replaced as safety precaution"

"Worn out and needed replacing"

"replaced due to uneven tire wear"

"Front suspension had a clunking noise. First the bushings were replaced, noise continued and struts were replaced with KYB brand. Noise stopped, alignment held; problem solved. Approx. cost $1100"

"$1700"

"Leaky rear shocks replaced recently. The shock absorbers from the factory are very expensive and not of good quality. I have also been told that the front oleostruts are on the verge of leakage failure as well"

"Front control arm replaced with bushing"

"Wore out"

"had to replace both sides of the front axles over $1000.00"

"Tie rods were loose, probably just from long-term wear"

"I continue to have uneven tire wear in the front even after replacing the tires. I have replaced numerous parts in the front suspension system over the past few years."

"I have spent thousands of dollars on the front end and the tires still wear unevenly."

"Had to replace rear wheel bearing as it had gone bad"

"Both rear wheel bearings failed and had to be replaced for $70 each. I installed them myself, so I don't know labor costs"

"The wheel bearings are a weak link on this vehicle. I have had to replace them three times since the van was purchased"

"Bad hood switch"

"Alarm activates at random for no apparent reason"

"The motor that automatically shuts the rear passenger door only works in warm weather. When it is cold outside the door will not shut. Took it to a GM dealership and they wanted $1200 to replace the motor"

"night light for clock went out but too hard to change. Have to take out the whole dash"

"clock light went out"

"The light bulb is burned out and it can only be replaced by a dealer for $80 to $100"

"Clock doesn't light up at night"

"Middle brake light works intermittently. Show up on dash."

"brake lights would not go off!!! Had to drive 300 miles with brake lights on in heavy traffic conditions. Had to use warning lights to indicate I was braking for heavy traffic slow downs on busy expressway"

"center stop light went out"

"The "D" light for drive no longer lights up when shifted to this position"

"I've had to replace my headlights every 3-4 months since I bought the van brand new in 2004. The fog lights stopped working after one year and I was told they weren't' covered by the standard or extended warranty"

"lens yellow and reduce effectiveness of headlights"

"Low beam headlights go out when switching to High Beams leaving the area dark just a head of the vehicle. complained to the National Highway Safety Group of our Government and that was that. Nothing done and they said not a safety issue"

"headlights fogged reducing light emission"

"Some of the dash lights have failed and the replacements are not LED"

"Most of interior lights do not work. Number of dash board lights are also nonfunctioning"

"Some in-dash instrument lights and clock light failed"

"Keyless entry stopped working. Repaired switch in door but it didn't fix the problem. I think the problem is part of the vehicle's computer. The problem is not resolved. I open the car using the key."

"Lock mechanism on driver sliding door failed, causing the keyless entry system to fail on the sliding door"

"Keyless entry opens doors on it's own. Have locked up car and came back to find the side doors open. Sometimes when driving you will hear the side compartment doors clicking in an attempt to open"

"Rear hatch does not always unlock with power system. Often have to use key to unlock it"

"new bulb needed"

"Probably mischaracterized on a previous screen. This was just a failed wiper blade, which became a procurement issue requiring a special order, with a long delay."

"The motor on the rear wiper failed"

"Seal wore out and lost all the water in the radiator. Good think I was driving and was in town - could have burned up the engine if my wife had been driving and/or out of town"

"had car repainted. driver's window switch failed. window repaired, but it leaks air at highway speeds around door handle & window switch & is noisier than before. dealer claims nothing wrong. i think it's missing insulation/sealant"

"Head gasket leaking"

"Windshield water leak"

"Radiator had a small crack and needed to be replaced"

"The two roof channels have rusted at the windshield allowing water to leak into the cabin"

"windshield water leak"

"We have had issues with heavy rain downpours causing water to get into the car, probably from a leak in the front windshield seal. I had a body shop try to repair it but the repair was not successful."

"I have a leak above my drivers window, that makes a section of the head liner wet and drippy. It has been sealed again and again and does not stop. Somehow when it rains, water gets into my seatbelt holder. 1/2 of my seat belt will get dripping wet. I have to stretch the belt to the passenger sides arm rest when I am not driving to keep it dry. The passenger side back window leaks around the top, and gets the big sill wet during the rain. My passenger side tail light casing fills up about 1/4 way with water."

"Water leaking into car around front windshield"

"Windshield seal leaks water"

"When I go over a big bump, the car's horn makes noise."

"The noise was from the climate controlled system. I had it fixed. Other note, I was disappointed that I had to replace the engine mounts when the car was under 50k miles, but not under warranty. I did not know where to put this problem."

"May be idler arms. Unsure as of this survey"

"Brake calipers rattle. Both sliding side doors rattle when closed."

"Noise associated with vent fan operation. Various rattles in cabin"

"loose bumper and guards producing scraping noise"

"lots of squeaks and road noise"

"loose shield around catalytic converter"

"The Odyssey has a lot if squeaks and rattles in general. It makes a lot of noise when driving on all but the smoothest roads"

"Persistent rattles from the front brake calipers when driving on well worn paving surfaces. Rattling stops when braking or putting light pressure on brake pedal"

"Although steering and suspension have checked out okay, there is still quite a bit of rattles and squeaks coming from below the car and also in back. The car is generally noisy to drive, making it wearing for long trips"

"Transmission noises, rattling while accelerating has been persistent for over a year. Several maintenance visits have determined no immediate fault other than a line, however noise and occasional jerking continues to be worrisome"

"Rubber seal needs replacement."

"wind and road noise interfere with music or conversation."

"The weather strip in the driver side door is worn out"

"2004 Odysseys are known for a deficiency in front brake calipers that results in rattle noise due to excessive wear/clearance in the caliper pin-to-bushing assembly. Repair with new parts would cost over $900"

"Calipers froze and damaged rotor"

"Braking hard one day, the master cylinder leaked badly internally, causing the pedal to fall quickly to the floor when engaged. Replacing the master cylinder"

""Soft" feeling on brake pedal noticed; investigated and found very low brake fluid level. This occurred away from home. Bought replacement brake fluid but just carried in car until returned home. Took car to local Honda service. Front and rear brake pads and rotors replaced. No further problems since."

"Vehicle starts to shimmy when I press on brake. I can tell it needs new brakes."

"rear brake pads needed to be replaced along with the machining of the rotors. I supplied all the parts"

"Replaced disc calipers. Rotors OK"

"Replaced brake pads"

"The entire rear dust shield rusted off. rusted to pieces and hanging there loose to make noise by scrubbing on the rotor. The rear brakes lasted for ~80k miles. Rear brakes suppose to last much longer due to the fact that 90% brake force in front"

"The brakes were replaced 20,000 miles prior to this brake service. Seems unusually low miles between brake changes"

"transmission shudders"

"currently car vibrates in acceleration between 30-45 mph."

"Rotors had to be turned and brake pads replaced. Lots of vibration."

"The brakes began vibrating when applied. We had had the rotors and pads replaced and the problem started after about 6 months. We took the vehicle back to the garage who had done the work and they covered it under their warranty."

"Bought used. Brakes pulled since purchase. Immediately brought to Honda dealer where they said "yes this is common on odyssey's" and he might have said Honda in general to but I can't be sure of that. He also said that it's perfectly safe to drive just annoying and disconcerting."

"Pulling to the right when I apply brakes. Vehicle in the shop today because of problem. Shop says the brakes are still good but will make an adjustment .Also having wheel alignment and struts and shocks installed. Shocks an struts are under warranty."

"Rotor was warped"

"warped"

"warped front rotors, needed turning to stop brake pulsation. Now rears have minor problem with same and have not fixed yet"

"Rotors needed repairs"

"Had to replace two front brake rotors before 90K miles"

"the front rotors warp if you blow on them. Same thing happened on my Acura. A downhill with too much speed and they were warped. ONly way around it is the absolute best front rotors you can buy. only way to fix it on both"

"replaced rotors, pads and calipers"

"this vehicle just squeaks going down the road when it is rough and potholes"

"squeaking while making sharp or wide turns"

"I had to replace the shield as it was rubbing against the rotors when I turned left"

"Brake pads prematurely worn down causing brakes to squeak"

"Torque converter slips during shifting. Service requires regular (annual) replacement of transmission fluid and additive"

"Wasn't expected, but previous owner did tow a camper"

"Transmission stopped shifting out of first then locked and couldn't be driven."

"To fix the linkage issue, the transmission had to be opened up. It made sense to rebuild the transmission at the same time because I planned to keep the van much longer. I advise replacing the rear main seal at the same time."

"Transmission is weak spot for this vehicle. I knew this when I bought it used several years ago. It lasted 200,000 miles before failing. This is OK."

"Transmission started slipping. Had it replaced."

"Transmission started missing causing vehicle to come to a complete stop. Had to call a tow truck to pull me to a repair station. As it turns out I needed a rebuilt transmission. So I had one installed."

"We has no signs that the transmission was failing; it was very sudden. We bought a used transmission online and had it installed locally. It was installed incorrectly and we made a long trip and started having problems. The error was fixed by a Honda"

"The failure of the transmission is common in this model"

"Transmission total failure. This was the second time"

"Transmission started to fail on a trip out of state to visit family. Ended up having to put in a rebuilt transmission for close to $4000 dollars. A very expensive fix!"

"Failed after 37,000. Was replaced"

"Stopped working (melted) so we had it rebuilt"

"Transmission failed and locked up. Cost thoUSnds to replace"

"Transmission was rebuilt but has continued to be an issue especially in cold weather. It continues to change gears very roughly until it is completely warmed up (after it's on the road a while.) Our other vehicles do not operate this way"

"Transmission failed today. 266,000 miles, we were lucky with the problems with Honda transmissions. Car is only worth 1500.00 dollars (working) and does not make sense to spend 3-5,000.00 to repair so we will junk car"

"The transmission started to slip suddenly and severely. I drove it 1 1/2 miles to the dealer immediately. They told me the transmission had failed and would need a replacement. I argued with Honda America about the transmission as my sister had a"

"car had 65k mileage & dealer said that the transmission was slipping. had a trip scheduled thru the smokie mts so i had it rebuilt before the trip. i felt this was a premature aging of transmission"

"Transmission totally failed at 109000 miles"

"My mechanic had to order 3 transm.issions before he finally got one that was correctly built. Since the transmission was replaced, the van has worked well. We have been VERY pleased with this vehicle since 2004 and will buy another Honda Odyssey van"

"Rough shifting, installed rebuilt tranny, solved problem"

"Computer Analysis messed up. First it said I needed 1 new solenoid (out of 4). I got that replaced. Then the computer said another needed replacement. Got all 4 done. Then a wire replaced. Finally found the transmission was gone. Frustrated"

"Transmission went out and we decided to have it rebuilt and continue driving the van"

"The clutches were not functioning and the gearbox had to be rebuilt"

"Rough shifting and performance issues. Diagnosed as transmission wear and resolved by new transmission"

"The transmission died on the highway. It had been having rough gear changes. It costs more to replace than the van is worth, so we bought another 2004 Odyssey and now use this one for parts"
