HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE THIRD ROW SEAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE WILL NOT LATCH RELIABLY TO THE FLOOR. SITTING ON THE SEAT AND/OR ACCELERATING CAUSES THE SEAT AND PASSENGER TO FLIP BACKWARDS. THE SEAT LATCH IS ON A SWINGING PANEL AND IS TOO FAR FORWARD TO MEET THE FLOOR MOUNTED HOOP. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY WAY TO ADJUST THE LATCH POSITION.

THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I HAVE A 9 YEAR OLD SON WHO RIDES IN THE SEAT ADJACENT TO THE DEFECTIVE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT REPLACING THE LATCH AND ALSO THE DEFECTIVE ROLLER ARM WOULD COST $296. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L VAN. I NOW HAVE 101,000 MILES ON IT BUT EVER SINCE 48,000 MILES, I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. IT STARTED WITH THE BUZZER GOING OFF AS THOUGH WE HAD NOT SHUT THE DOOR. THE INTERIOR LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON AND OFF AND IT SHOWED THE DOOR WAS OPEN ON THE DASH. WE TRIED SHUTTING IT MANUALLY AND WITH THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH TO NO AVAIL. WE FOLLOWED A PROTOCOL OFF THE INTERNET THAT INVOLVED SEVERAL STEPS THAT GOT IT TO STOP BUT AT RANDOM TIMES IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAD A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INVOLVED AT GREAT COST. THE DEALER FINALLY TOLD ME THERE IS A SWITCH ON THE DASH TO TURN OFF THE BUZZER BUT THE DOOR DOES NOT SHUT ALL THE WAY. THE BACK OF THE DOOR STICKS OUT A BIT AND MAKES IT SO IT WON'T LOCK. TWO OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VAN AND HAD IT FIXED AT GREAT COST. GIVEN THAT THE DOOR IS NOT ALL THE WAY CLOSED, IT CONCERNS ME TO NO END WHEN I HAVE PASSENGERS ON THAT SIDE. THE INDOOR LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AS WELL. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON SEVERAL BLOGS. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS SHOULD BE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO HONDA BUT THEY HAVE BEEN ALOOF ABOUT FIXING IT AND DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE. *TR

HONDA ODYSSEY 2006 HEATED SEAT PROBLEM. HEATED SEAT OVER HEATED CAUSING NO INJURY BUT BURNED LEATHER SEAT AND SMOLDERED WHILE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN GARAGE. OUR CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE SEAT COULD HAVE CONTINUED TO SMOLDER, BURN AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO START ON FIRE WHILE PARKED IN THE ATTACHED GARAGE OF OUR HOME. I AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT THERE IS NOT SOME SORT OF SAFETY BUILT INTO THE SEAT HEATER THAT WOULD BLOW A FUSE AND CEASE THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY. IF THERE IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN PLACE IT HAS FAILED. WHEN WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO WILDE HONDA IN WAUKESHA WISCONSIN THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE US TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT LET THEM INVESTIGATE BECAUSE I FELT THAT THEY SHOULD BE CONCERNED AT THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH BURNING/FIRE. WE HAVE NOT USED THE SEAT HEATER SINCE THIS INCIDENT. *TR

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD TWO DOG CRATES IN THE BACK OF THE MINIVAN WITH DOGS IN THEM. THE DOORS HAD BEEN LOCKED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE OCCURRING. ONCE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIED, I HAD NO WAY TO OPEN THE TAILGATE IN ORDER TO GET THE DOGS OUT OF THE CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE EMERGENCY RELEASE BECAUSE IT WAS BLOCKED BY THE DOG CRATES. THERE IS NO OUTSIDE KEY ACCESS FOR THE TAILGATE NOR A MANUAL RELEASE IN THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. THE METAL HINGES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR DO A TERRIBLE JOB AT KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN. I MAKE SURE THAT THE DOOR IS IN THE DETENTE POSITION. IT DOESN'T MATTER. A SLIGHT GUST OF WIND OR IF THE CAR IS ON AN INCLINE, THE DOORS WILL SLAM SHUT ON THEIR OWN. ITT SMASHED & BROKE A BONE IN MY LEFT HAND. IT SLAMMED CLOSE ON MY SHINS BEFORE THAT MANY TIMES. I AM FRIGHTENED FOR FEAR OF SEVERE INJURY TO SOME BODY PART BEING SLAMMED INTO THE DOOR OF GUESTS AND BEING SUED. I MAKE A POINT TO HAVE MY WHOLE BODY LEANING ON THE DOOR IF IT NEEDS TO STAY OPEN FOR SOME PURPOSE NOW. THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ANOTHER CAR THAT I WAS AFRAID THE FRONT DOOR WOULD SLAM SHUT ON ME - WITHOUT WARNING - BEFORE THIS.
