"The rear middle guides finished wearing out"

"Sliding doors don't close well (very poor handles), and one periodically seizes partly open, even after lubricating"

"driver side slider door sometimes won't close automatically, I've oiled it several times, this helps for a while"

"THE ROLLERS IN SLIDING DOOR WORE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FORTUNATELY A FRIEND WITH A BODY SHOP FIXED MY DOOR FOR $150"

"Sliding doors were not operating smoothly and sometimes made a grinding noise or closed in a jerky movement along the track. I just had the rollers replaced on both sides to eliminate my fear that the doors might fail to open or close"

"Drivers side sliding door does not always open on 1st or 2nd attempts. Gears make noise and sometimes do not engage and open/close the door"

"A part in the mechanism that automatically opens/closes the driver's side door failed, making it necessary to operate it manually, which was very difficult"

"fender left front slightly loose"

"rubber seals in door are loose"

"Front bumper has separated from side moldng"

"Gaskets around the sliding door keep coming out. They work themselves loos and flap in the wind. It is very difficult to work them back on to the door track where they belong. Other pet peeve is that all of the external plastics bleached in the first couple of years of ownership. Florida sun is harsh. But these went faster than other makes of vehicles I have owned"

"Splash shield came loose and had to be reattached, twice. Due to driving over 'parking bumps'"

"Trim not put on well. Snapped off and is not just having there"

"Front bumper is peeling paint"

"The paint looks like someone poured acid over the front of the car. Paint almost looks as though the car ran through a sandstorm with the paint almost removed on the hood and roof above the windshield. I will have to have the car repainted. Horrible. Bad enough to prevent me from buying another Honda"

"Ont eh body just behind the sliding door, in the door jamb area where the jamb sheet metal bends into the body skin (almost 90 degree bend) the paint is failing. The color of the paint is silver, I don't know if the denisty or otehr qualities of teh paint are influenced by the paint color"

"2010 Odysseys (made in Alabama) have a problem with paint peeling. The roof on our vehicle peeled away after three years. The dealer turned a blind eye and our extended warranty did not cover the problem. American Honda ended up paying part of the bill, but would not cover repainting the entire car. I saw via the Internet that the problem was widespread on several model years. I will not buy another Honda"

"mild rust near wheel wells. Paint easy to chip in certain areas"

"The clutch for the air conditioner stopped working ($1,300 repair), so the automatic climate control no longer turns on"

Taken to dealer 3x, they've suggested adding refrigerant (it's full), replacing the air conditioner (when it's called for it works), and offered me a good deal on a new Odyssey. Local shop diagnosed the problem in an hour, explained how it needed to be repaired, and had it fixed 2 hours after getting the replacement climate control module"

"-Inability to control rear vents from front controls (this is a safety issue because it distracts parents)"

"My ac was mostly blowing warm-hot air. After investigating, I found out that Honda has a known relay sensor problem. So I replaced the sensor"

"Electrical switch for compressor was sticking causing the compressor to run and drain battery"

"A relay failed, making the compressor run continuously and making it over pressurize the compressor, sounding like a jack hammer. The relay was replaced and car worked fine again"

"Alternator failed during a long road trip to Florida in June. First sign was problem with A/C, then dashboard indicator showed problem with electrical system. Found local Honda dealer and was able to drive to dealer for repair"

"Battery was replaced by dealer and failed early. Dealer replaced"

"We had to have the battery replaced for the third time. Or maybe the fourth. If we leave the car parked for any length of time (we live in a cold climate), even plugged in, the battery dies. It drives me crazy"

"battery died at 60,000 miles. Replaced with new one from Costco. No problems since"

"2 years, battery had to be replaced"

"2nd dead battery in 2 years. Was told that Odysseys can produce significant drain on battery and that regular battery failure is not uncommon"

"Standard Odyssey problem with (I believe) cylinder 5 and or 6. It wasn't a recall but the fault was covered by Honda. Impacted gas milage and I could hear the engine wasn't running quite right. No significant impact to engine performance"

"Started with check engine light. Warranty replaced plugs and 2 oxygen sensors"

"An engine malfunction required repair of several of the cylinders and related parts"

"Car has a defective engine. Honda has to rebuild them when they start burning oil. Totally disappointed with quality. Have decided to sell and otherwise would not have done so"

"piston rings failed"

"I had problems with oil consumption at 1 quart every 1,000 to 1,500 miles and Honda told me that was within their limits. I fouled a plug and through the initial repair it was discovered I needed a short block, which Honda covered"

"The engine has always burned some oil, even when brand new. The problem worsened after 100,000 miles. I reported the problem to Honda and they monitored the car. At 155,000 miles they replaced piston rings, spark plugs, etc. because the engine was fouled with oil residue. To their credit, Honda paid for the repairs"

"Oil ring failure"

"At about 60K miles, the engine started running rough and the check engine light started flashing. The van was stopped and towed to the dealer. The dealer replaced a fouled spark plug and reprogrammed the variable cylinder management control software. Next, the engine started consuming oil intermittently with the worst consumption check showing about 700 miles to a quart of oil. The dealer had just received permission from Honda to re-ring 3 pistons in the engine when the engine started running"

"timing belt replace and also bent cam shaft"

"Soon after purchasing the van, mild to moderate front end vibration was noticed at highway speeds, 50 to 70 MPH, when applying additional power to climb hills or accelerate. There was no vibration under straight and level steady state conditions. The dealer replaced both axle shafts under CPO warranty. One or both shafts had worn CV joints or were out of balance. Vibration is now gone, front end noises have gone away (didn't know they were related but they were), and steering feels much tigh"

"The axle and bushings were prematurely worn out and replaced free of charge due to a defect / recall. Unannounced but was covered when I complained"

"2010 Odyssey has been to the dealer at least 5 times for front end vibration. Ever time there is a new excuse. This 2010 is our third Honda Odyssey and it has been nothing but trouble.Wind noise is loud"

"Vehicle started vibrating at higher speeds, eventually including lower speeds. Dealership looked twice, but they could not determine the problem. It has since subsided, but it is still somewhat existent"

"The van surges and then slows a bit all the time. Freeway driveway is annoying. Dealer says they all do this. Unacceptable"

"We have a comprehensive subscription to XM satellite radio, but when using the knob to change channels, it will jump from, for example, Channel 15 to a channel over 100, when we pay for many of the channels in between. Efforts to tune to those channels in between with the knob inevitably meet with failure and frustration"

"The radio began failing. Skipping channels, changing volume randomly. We replaced it"

"Volume seems to not go above 20"

"Volume seems to not go above 20"

"Never use"

"Twice since I have had the car, the engine accelerated unexpectedly as I was trying to stop. Once about 5 years ago and I second time last week. I pushed the brake as had as I could and finally shifted into neutral. The car stopped and the acceleration ceased and the car operated normally. I'm not sure what caused the problem"
