2005 Honda Odyssey Problems

I bought the 2005 Odyssey van in 12/2015. It now has 192,426 miles on it. Three or four times every year since I bought it, the engine will suddenly surge when coming to a stop sign or light, with my right foot on the brake pedal, braking and slowing the van for the stop sign or light. The engine revs to about 5000 or 6000 RPMs. It is as if the engine is flooring the gas pedal. Every time, I have been able to push the brake pedal down hard, even though the car continues to slowly roll forward, and shove it into neutral. I have to then tap the gas pedal to stop the engine accelerating. It then goes back to idling normally. Note, it even happened to me one time when I put it into reverse while parking! So very scary each and every time it happens. On [XXX], I took the van to Don Jacobs Honda Dealership, Lexington, KY. They said there were no reports of this ever happening to anyone else. They charged me $3216.06, with most of the cost for a new timing belt/water pump and a valve adjustment. When their repairs did not solve the problem, I called them. They said they would like to put a monitor on the van and drive it until the surge happened again. I told them to let me drive the van with the monitor, as the next surge might not happen for several months, and I needed to drive the van on a daily basis for work. They said they weren't allowed to let customers use the monitor! I finally had time today to research the surging problem. I noticed on [XXX] that this problem with Honda has never been figured out or fixed! And it keeps happening on even newer Honda Odysseys! I now have the resources to quit driving this van. I would be willing to donate the van to the NHTSA so that they may research and try to figure out how to stop this defect! No telling how many people have been injured or killed due to this defect. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The engine VCM system is burning oil and destroying emissions systems on the vehicle. Catalytic converters are mainly affected as burned oil goes through the exhaust system. The check engine light comes on and the the engine starts to misfire and very abrupt engine vibrations make it into the cabin.

I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey. About 6 months ago the drivers side sliding door fell off the tracks. This happened while we were trying to close the door but it would not slide at all. We were out at a restaurant and it was imperative that the door had to be shut because it was not safe to drive in that condition. We were able to somewhat put it back on but it can not be used at all at this time. When the door fell off, it gouged the side of the van, damaged the gas filler door, and the rear door is hard to close. I don't know if its closed or not until I get in the car and see that the indicator light on. Also, the car alarm goes off on its own even though my son disabled it. It's very disruptive. After do some research, I have learned that this is an ongoing problem with Honda Odysseys. Honda needs to be held responsible because this is obviously a manufacturer defect. I can not afford to spend $1000 to replace it nor should it have to spend money to fix it.

THE DOOR WAS NOT OPEINING PROPERLY SO I WHENT TO OPEN MANUALLY ANTHE HEAVY DOOR CAME OFF THE VAN SCRACHED THE HELL OUT OF MY VAN AND HURT ME TRYING TO HOLD IT AS NOT TO SCRACH THE VAN I WAS ALONE AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP ME THIS IS VERY DANGERIOUS AND IVE READ IT HAPPENS OFTEN I CAN NO LONGER USE THE DOOR AS IT KEEPS HAPPINING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RANDOM FAILURE THAT PROGRESSED CONCERNING THE POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE SHOOK EXCESSIVELY EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE PERFORMED EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC REMEDY TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED NO SPECIFIC RECOMMENDED REPAIR SOLUTION TO THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,607.

THIS IS A NEW CAR PURCHASED AND SERVICED BY THE DEALER FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY (12/28/04). THE HONDA SERVICE DEPT DID NOT DISCOVER THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS UNTIL IT MALFUNCTIONED. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL. I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE DOCUMENTS TO PROVE IT. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE ME TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THEIR NEGLIGENCE CAUSED THIS AUTO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CONSUMER STATED A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM AND FIXED IT. HOWEVER, THREE DAYS LATER, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN IT WAS PUT IN DRIVE AND THEREFORE IT HAD TO BE TOWED. LATER IN THE DAY, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER STATING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 09/12/12

THE VAN DIE WHILE DRIVING AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS. IF YOU WAIT AN HOUR IT WILL RESTART AND DRIVE FOR ANOTHER 2 HOURS THEN WILL DIE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING.

I BOUGHT THIS VAN AND IT HAD A SIMPLE PROBLEM THAT WE FIXED.. IT STILL WOULDN'T STAY RUNNING.. I DEAD ON THE INTERSTATE 3 TIMES.. I DEAD ON A MAIN HWY 5 TIMES.. HAD TO LEAVE THE VAN IN A PARKING LOT 5 TIMES.. IVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE HOUSE BC WE CANT GET IT TO STAY RUNNING 3 TIMS....I BELIEVE ITS ONE OF THE RECALL SINCERER .. MAYBE.. OR MAYB THE FUEL PUMP.. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE WHAT NEEDS TO BE.. REPLACED SO I CAN ENJOY MY VAN AGAIN...

AFTER THE THIRD ROW HAS BEEN FOLDED FLAT AND YOU ARE BRINGING IT BACK OUT TO MAKE IT A SEAT AGAIN, IT OFTEN WILL NOT LATCH WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO HELP GUIDE THE SEAT INTO THE PROPER PLACE. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WITH THE 2 SEAT SECTION AND NOT THE SINGLE SEAT SECTION (SINCE THEY FOLD 60/40). IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THE SEAT DID NOT LATCH, THEN IT CAN EASILY ROLL BACK AND TRY TO FOLD FLAT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SHOULD SOMEONE TRY TO CLIMB OVER IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT WHEN I SAW THAT A CHILD DIED BECAUSE OF IT, I WANTED TO REPORT IT.

THE SLIDING DOORS ROLLERS AND LATCHES ARE DEFECTIVE! THE LEFT DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AND IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD WITH KIDS IN THE BACK! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!! 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. *TR

I Purchased Cooper Evolution M+S 235/65 R16 tires that I purchased from Tire kingdom at 220 Linto BLVD Delray Beach FL. 33444. The set of tires have low miles on them and tread wear is great. When I got the tires I felt a vibration in the tires from the front pretty quickly. I had my whole front end of my car replaced including beairings, no help. So I spent money and replaced the 2 front tires with the same tires and they were very young tires and a wheel alignment and the shaking was mitigated in the front but the car still vibrated slightly. The wheel alignment had the steering wheel off center so I went back another wheel alignment to correct and I mention to them the car is vibrating still if they can inspect the tires and when we looked the front LH tire had tread seperation which looked like someone took a knife andtried to carve the tread at the seem off the tire it went in about 3 inches plus. Tire kingdom accused me of hitting something I was like we barley drive this car and why would and I hit absolutely nothing. So they analyzed it and prorated me another tire of the same brand. So now we are on 7 new tires for one mini van that barely gets driven. I went to Orlando and my back rear of the van was vibrating the last 10 miles I had to take the side streets. I went to Walmart and purchased brand new Good years for my van and there is now zero vibration I love it. My my van has been vibrating the day I got the Cooper Evolutions and I went through 7 tires a new front end and replaced rear spindles because I could believe tire with such amazing tread life would vibrate a car like that. If I went for a prorated #8 tire I would still have vibrations. I called cooper tires to complian they gave me a claim number 2003880477 and said bring to tire kindom who refused the tires. We called back Cooper who only again said bring to tire kingdom . I have all 4 tires waiting to be inspected with the 4th tire completly out of shape without air in it. Tire kindome no help

I PURCHASED 4 GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TOURING P235/65R16 TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLED ON 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY LX. VEHICLE WAS ALIGNED AND TIRES ROTATED, BALANCED, AND PRESSURE CHECKED REGULARLY. THE TIRE WAS ADVERTISED WITH A 70,000 MILE TREAD LIFE WARRANTY. AT APPROXIMATELY 17,300 MILES I NOTICED THE TREAD ON ALL 4 TIRES APPEARED TO BE SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE WHEN VIEWED FROM THE SIDE. I TOOK IT TO ORIGINAL TIRE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AT THE NEXT ROTATION, I AGAIN NOTED THAT THE SEPARATION APPEARED TO BE GETTING WORSE. AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL. AT 24,000 MILES, AND WITHIN 400 MILES OF A ROTATION AND BALANCE, THE TIRES DEVELOPED A VERY MILD VIBRATION, WHICH HAS NEVER COMPLETELY GONE AWAY, EVEN WITH FURTHER ROTATION AND BALANCE. AT 45,000 MILES, THERE WERE CRACKS (POSSIBLY DRY ROT) BEGINNING TO FORM ALL OVER THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES. ADDITIONALLY, THE TREAD HAD NOTICEABLE SEPARATION FROM TIRE. LASTLY, THE TIRES HAD WORN TO THE 2/32 MINIMUM TREAD DEPTH. THE TIRE DEALER REFUSED SERVICE OR EVEN PRORATE THE TIRE TOWARDS NEW ONES. I CALLED GOODYEAR, BUT THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO DEAL WITH THE TIRE DEALER, AS THAT TIRE WAS MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM. THE TIRE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM, THOUGH THEY HAVE NOW OFFERED A MINIMAL PREPORATION AMOUNT WHICH ISN'T ENOUGH TO OFFSET THE COST OF THE INSTALLATION OF NEW TIRES. THE DEALER REFUSES TO PRORATE BASED ON ACTUAL MILEAGE VS WARRANTED MILEAGE, ALTHOUGH THEIR WRITTEN WARRANTY POLICY STATES THAT IS THE WAY THE WARRANTY SHOULD BE HANDLED. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,200.

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

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ACTING WEIRD FOR COUPLE DAYS AND THEN WENT OFF COMPLETE, AND THEY HAVE A SOUND VERY CLEAR ON SUSPICION THE FRONT AND THE DRIVER SIDE , AND THE HEAD LIGHTS THE DRIVER SIDE ALWAYS BEEN DISCONNECTED THEY HAVE POWER ELECTRIC ISSUE

FAILURE OF HIGH BEAM, RUNNING LIGHTS, DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS, POWER DOOR LOOKS, INTEMITTENT WIPERS. FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION. MECHANIC WORKED ALL DAY COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. I DROVE IT HOME. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER IT WAS WORKING. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO GET A INSPECTION STICKER. ALL GOOD. WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN STOPPED WORKING. I REALILIZED THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. IT FAILED IN THE COLD. I RAN THE HEATER IN THE CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR ON MAX HEAT. STILL NO GOOD. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE WALKING BY I PRESSED THE DOOR OPEN BUTTON ON THE KEY RING AND THEY WORKED , I JUMPED IN AND TRIED THE DIRECTIONALS, HIGH BEAM, RUNNING LIGHTS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS. A FEW DAYS LATER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPPED AND IT STOPPED WORKING. TODAY (MILDER WEATHER) I TRIED IT WASN'T WORKING. I TURNED ON THE HEAT TO HIGH AND THE HEATED SEATS AND LEFT RUNNING FOR AN HOUR. WHEN RETURNING I FOUND THE INTEMITTENT WIPERS WERE RUNNING AND SO WAS EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU WENT OUT IN THE DAY AND IT GOT COLD WHILE PARKED AND ISSUE CAME BACK ,YOU WOULD NOT HAVE RUNNING LIGHTS, HIGH BEAMS, AND NO DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS. I THINK THERE ARE OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ALSO DONT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND THE WEATHER IS NOW COLD. NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHEN IN THE MORNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED IN TWO PLACES. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT NO GLASS WAS FOUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

The contact owns a Dorel Disney Baby Car Seat, Model Name: Light ‘N Comfy 35, Manufactured Date: August 06, 2021, installed in a 2005 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while placing the car seat onto the base in the vehicle, the car seat would not latch securely. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the car seat was not included in a recall. The car seat was not replaced.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY CHILDREN'S AND MY SEATBELTS WERE DEFECTIVE. MY CHILDREN'S CARSEATS WERE NOT SECURE AND UPON IMPACT JILTED FORWARD. MY SON AND DAUGHTERS HEADS HIT THE HANDLE ON THE SEAT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEM. HONDA SENT OUT THEIR TEAM OF TECHNICAL SPECIALIST WHO INSPECTED THE VAN AND SAID THE SEAT BELTS DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE NO-ONE USED SEATBLELTS. HOWEVER THE POLICE AND FIRST RESPONDER ARE THE ONES WHO UNBUCKELED MY CHILDRENS SEATS AND IT IS IN THE REPORTS EVERYONE WAS RESTRAINED. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE NO RECALL OR WARNING HAS BEEN SENT OUT TO OTHERS.

THE STEEL WHEEL ON DRIVER SIDE FRONT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A MAJOR CRACK IN IT. UPON EXAMINATION BY HONDA OF WESTPORT, FETZER TIRE AND HANK MAY IT IS THEIR CONCLUSION THAT THE WHEEL HAS STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE WHEEL WAS PURCHASED AT HANK MAY IN STAMFORD CT., WHO GOT THE WHEELS FROM WHEEL FIX IT IN FREEPORT LONG ISLAND (WWW.WHEELFIXIT.COM/). THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUE OR RESPONSIBILITY RE: THE WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THESE WHEELS I HAVE LEARNED....NEVER DID 'FIT' THE ODYSSEY. THEY WERE MACHINE LATHED POORLY AND BOUNCED ON THE HUB SPOKES, CAUSING VIBRATION. AGAIN, WHEEL FIX IT DENIES ANY ISSUE WITH THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. I HAVE PHOTO'S OF THE CRACKED WHEEL WHICH I HAVE TAKEN OFF THE CAR, OF COURSE.

I WAS NOT AWARE THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. MY LOCAL DEALER (AUTOPARKS HONDA, CARY, NC) IS TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL IS OVER AND THE EXTENDED RECALL IS OVER SO THEY CANNOT FIX IT AT NO COST TO ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART. IT IS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I REALLY LIKE MY ODYSSEY AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HONDA STAND BEHIND THEIR RECALLS. *TR
