2007 Honda Odyssey Other / unspecified Problems

I took this car for a test drive. The dealer said they had repaired a number of issues such as front end work, power steering hoses, and power steering fluid. They said it had passed a safety inspection. The dealer handed me a list of all the issues with the vehicle which they chose not to repair, which include: 1) vehicle driver door lock/unlock doesn't work 2) Driver sliding door doesn't work 3) beeping when turning on power sliding doors (Doesn't beep if you have it off), tpms light is on (needs sensors maybe? dont know), 4) rear wiper inop Those are direct quotes -- however, on the test drive I found several other issues which were alarming. 1) A bad wheel bearing in the right rear wheel was extremely loud, sounding like an airplane taking off on the highway, this was not mentioned in any way before test driving. 2) The brakes are weak and the rotors warped, pulsating during braking 3) The radio did not work and gave an "Error" code 4) the seat belts have very dark markings on them either from wear or mold 5) missing rear passenger side seat 6) broken rear ventilation (blower motor likely) I thought I should report this as it was not mentioned and upon checking online this is a serious safety issue. I am surprised they passed it. [XXX] This vehicle is STILL FOR SALE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

TIRES PRURCHASED FROM WALMART 10/6/18 WERE INSTALLED IMPROPERLY AND THEY CHANGED THE MANUFACTURES CALIBRATION. THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON, I RETURNED THE VAN TO WALMART; THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I MADE FIVE VISITS. THE MANAGER DID NOT KNOW WHAT A TPMS SENSOR WAS; DID NOT HAVE ANY IN THE SHOP. I FREQUENTLY HAD THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE CHECKS. TWO WEEKS AGO, DRIVING THE VAN THE TIRES SEEMED TO BE WOBBLY, I HAD THE AIR PRESSURE CHECKED AGAIN AND AGAIN. ON APRIL 15, 2021, I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH WALMART AT THE MAIN OFFICE AND TOOK THE SUV TO THE HAMMOND, INDIANA CAR CENTER. AFTER HAGGLING WITH THE STAFF FO OVER 4 HOURS, THEY REPLACED THE TWO TIRE. THE PROBLEM OF THE WOBBLING TIRES HAD NOT BEEN SOLVED. ONLY THE WOBBLING WAS LESS NOTICEABLE. I MADE OVER 20 TELEPHONE CALLS TO THE CAR CENTER WITHOUT THE PHONE BEING ANSWERED. TODAY I FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH WALMART HEADQUARTERS.MARTHA, THE PERSON THAT TOOK THE COMPLAINT STATED THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE CAR CENTER. THIS CENTER SHOULD BE CLOSED; LIVES ARE AT STACK AND THE WORKERS ARE RUDE AND ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE TREAD ACT. I NEVER EXPERIENCED THE TPMS COMING ON UNTIL WALMART REPLACED MY TIRES. MY MECHANIC DRIVE THE SUV AND HIS OBSERVATION WAS "THE FRONT TIRES ARE OUT OF ROUND BY 1/4 INCH AND INNER SIDE WALL BULGING". HIS FIRST OBSERVATION WAS IN OCTOBER 2018, SHORTLY AFTER WALMART INSTALLED THE TIRES. ON 4/15/21, I CONTACTED GOODYEAR AND THEY GAVE NO INFORMATION ON TPMS . I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS SUV AD I BELIEVE THAT WALMART IS VIOLATING THE TREAD ACT. THEY RELUCTANTLY REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT EVEN WORSE THE TPMS LIGHT IS STILL ON. THERE WERE NO NOTIFICATIONS POSTED ON THE WALLS IN THAT CAR CENTER. IN ADDITION, MY SON RECENTLY PURCHASED TIRES FOR HIS SUV FROM THIS SAME WALMART HE WAS NOT GIVEN ANY INFORMATION ABOUT TPMS SENSORS AND NONE WERE INSTALLED.

GOING SOUTH ON HWY 5 FROM JUST OUTSIDE SACRAMENT, (BY FREEPORT) WE STRUCK SOMETHING NOT VISIBLE IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WARNED US WE HAD A FLAT AND NOT TO EXCEED 50 MPH. OUR MINIVAN WAS EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PAX SYSTEM RUN FLAT TIRES AND NO SPARE. WE PULLED OF THE HWY AT ELK GROVE AND CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. IT WAS ALMOST 5PM AND THEY SAID COULD NOT HELP UNTIL TUESDAY. THE MANUAL SAID WE COULD GO 125 MILES WITH A FLAT TIRE AND OUR HOME WAS LESS THAN 60 MILES AWAY SO WE PUT ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 50 MPH ON HWY 5, THEN HWY 12 WEST, AND THEN HWY 160 SOUTH. JUST NORTH OF THE ANTIOCH BRIDGE THE FRONT LEFT TIRE SHREDDED AND WE WERE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE FOR OVER AN HOUR UNTIL AAA PROVIDED ASSISTANCE. I CONTACTED MICHELIN AND HONDA ON TUESDAY FOLLOWING AND MICHELIN OFFERED TO PAY 30% OF THE COST OF A NEW TIRE BUT NOTHING TOWARDS THE COST OF REMOVING THE TIRE AND PUTTING A NEW ONE ON. HONDA OFFERED NOTHING. I REJECTED MICHELIN'S OFFER AND THEY RAISED IT TO 50 % AND I STILL REJECTED IT AND WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE STORE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WHEELS AND TIRES BECAUSE WE FEEL THE RUN FLAT SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. *TR

I AM GETTING A THUD SOUND FROM THE BACK OF MY 2007 ODYSSEY MINI VAN. WE CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE COME IN WITH THIS. THEY FOUND THAT THERE IS A GLAZING THAT HAPPENS WITH THE BRAKES AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO GRIND THE DRUMS AND IT MAKES IT GO AWAY FOR AWHILE. THEY SAID IF THE BRAKE SHOES ARE OK IT WOULD RUN ABOUT $200.00. THIS IS CRAZY IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OTHER THAN WEAR AND TEAR THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. I HAVE PUT TWO SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS VAN SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKES GO SO FAST. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A VERY POOR DESIGN. IF I HAD NOT BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT 1000 OF DOLLARS WITH ALL THE PROBLEM THIS 2007 HONDA HAS HAD. IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. THE WINDSHIELD WHISTLES, THE TRANSMISSION PART HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE COMPRESSOR MELTED, THE BATTERY WENT DEAD ON A TRIP BEFORE A YEAR WAS UP. THE BEARINGS IN THE WHEELS WENT BAD. THE AXLE WENT BAD. THE RIGHT REAR DOOR MOTOR WENT BAD. THE LEFT REAR DOOR WILL OPEN PART WAY AND SHUT. ALL IN ALL HONDA HAS GONE DOWN HILL. $37,000 AND ITS A PIECE OF JUNK. THANK GOD OTHER THAN THE BRAKES THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY VERY GOOD AND HAS FIXED EVERYTHING AT LEAST ONCE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY TWO CHILDREN, THE TWO FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS OF MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY BROKE! ALTHOUGH I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR WAS NOT IN ANY SHAPE TO CONTINUE. *TR I TOOK MY HONDA TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER, HERB CHAMBERS HONDA IN SEEKONK MASSACHUSETTS. AT THAT TIME, THEY MENTIONED THAT A BROKEN WHEEL BEARING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE WHEEL COULD LOCK UP OR COME COMPLETELY DISLODGED FROM THE FRAME. IN ADDITION, HE ASSURED ME THAT MY DRIVING DID NOT CAUSE THE BREAK AND THAT IS A CLEAR DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. STILL, BECAUSE THE CAR HAD 61,622 MILES, I WAS CHARGED 700.00 TO FIX THE BEARINGS. I AM ASKING NETS OFFICIALS TO INVESTIGATE HONDA FOR THE WHEEL BEARING FAILURES ON ALL HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVANS FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: THOUSANDS IF NOT, MILLIONS EFFECTED - ACCORDING TO THOUSANDS OF HONDA OWNERS ON THE INTERNET WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, THE WHEEL BEARINGS BREAK ANYWHERE FROM 1200K (JUST OFF THE LOT) TO 75K. SAFETY ' WHEN YOU CONTINUE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH BAD BEARINGS, THE SYMPTOMS WILL WORSEN AND SAFETY RISKS INCREASE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL BECOME HARDER TO CONTROL. IF THIS HAPPENS, NAVIGATING AND STEERING WILL BE DIFFICULT. A WHEEL WILL BECOME LOOSE AND MOVE AROUND IN THE WHEEL ARCH, CAUSING DAMAGE TO HUB AND BRAKES. IF THE WHEEL REMAINS UNSTABLE, IT WILL EVENTUALLY DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. ABS ISSUES - WHEEL BEARINGS CONTAIN SENSORS THAT SEND A SIGNAL TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) WHEN THE TIRES SPIN OR SKID. CONTINUING TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH BAD BEARINGS CAN CAUSE ITS ABS SYSTEM TO FAIL. WHEN BEARINGS ARE FAULTY, THE ABS SIGNAL LIGHT USUALLY APPEARS ON THE DASH INDICATING THE DISABLEMENT OF THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS GENERALLY DOES NOT CAUSE ANY INTERRUPTIONS IN REGULAR BRAKING; HOWEVER, IT WILL SUSPEND THE ABS SYSTEM'S AID IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS OR WHILE BRAKING ON WET OR SLIPPERY SURFACES.

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

I CAN FEEL THE MINI VAN KEEP PULLING TO THE LEFT PRETTY FAST AND DANGEROUSLY. I TALK TO THE WHEEL SHOPS MANAGER, AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS FINE. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS ISSUES ONLINE, I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO OWN 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND TURN OUT TO BE ISSUES WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED SPRING AND STRUT THAT NEED TO BE ALIGNED AND FIXED. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR SUDDEN TURN TO THE LEFT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING ON HWY 85. *TR

ON JULY 12, 2010, I TOOK OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY) MEL RAPTON HONDA FOR THE BRAKE RECALL REQUESTED BY HONDA AMERICA. I WAS CALLED AT 12:20 P.M. BY YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. AT 2:00 P.M., I ARRIVED, PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO MAITA TOYOTA TO PICK UP MY HUSBAND WHERE HE WAS HAVING OUR TOYOTA SERVICED. AS I APPROACHED THE VERY FIRST STOP LIGHT AT FULTON AND THE ENTRANCE TO I-80, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WITH MY FOOT PRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. I RAN THE STOP LIGHT, AND WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT HIT ANYONE. AT THE SECOND LIGHT I CAME UPON AT AUBURN AND FULTON WAS GREEN AND I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I ONCE AGAIN COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND HIT THE CONCRETE PARKING BARRIER, SCRATCHING THE FRONT RIGHT BUMPER. I PROMPTLY CALLED MY HUSBAND AND INFORMED HIM I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO DO SINCE MY ASSUMPTION WAS THE BRAKES WERE FULLY INSPECTED AND FUNCTIONAL PRIOR TO ME LEAVING MEL RAPTON HONDA. I CALLED BACK TO MEL RAPTON SERVICE DEPARTMENT, LEAVING A MESSAGE FOR THE SERVICE ADVISOR ANTHONY MOTLEY THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT WITH MY BRAKES. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME BACK ASKING THAT I DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO MEL RAPTON, EVEN THOUGH I STATED I BELIEVED THAT I HAD NO FUNCTIONAL BRAKES BEYOND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I CAUIOUSLY DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK, I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TWICE IN ORDER STOP THE VEHICLE AND AVOID RUNNING ANY MORE RED LIGHTS OR HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. I WAS SHOCKED THAT YOUR SERVICE ADVISOR SUGGESTED THAT I DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THERE WAS SOME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE VSA MODULATOR LIGHT CAME ON AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK. THEY SAID THEY "REPAIRED" THE VSA AND BRAKES, BUT NEVER THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, MEL RAPTON REFUSES TO RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR REPAIRS AND HONDA AMERICA ISN'T HELPING. *TR

WHEN WE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON-LINE FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS, THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH REAR WINDOW EXPLODING. WE NOTIFIED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY FOR POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. ALTHOUGH THEY INDICATED NO SPECIFIC COMPLAINT SPECIFIC TO RIGHT BACK WINDOW, THEY SAID HONDA OF AMERICA WILL BE CONTACTED AND WILL GET BACK WITH US.
