This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power, power steering and braking functionality before the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast into a parking lot. The contact did not notice any warning lights being illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to her residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the drive belt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle had become difficult to turn with the occasional recurring loss of power steering functionality. The contact related the steering failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 05V039000 (Steering). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.
While servicing the timing components I notice the timing belt not damage. But the tensioner was out of place with a bolt broken and the other was missing like it was never bolted
On 05 Honda Odyssey touring at 170,000 the vehicle will become so powerless. Wont shift. Let it cool down even with a extra tranny cooler and cleaned the sylenoids and replaced transmission filter and fluid did a flush to. It still is guttless. I have done exactly what it says to do, nothing changes. Did have tranny blowing out tranny fliuid and got that fixed. After driving the vehicle for a time frame and the fluid get hot the vehicle then looses all its power. This is bad and it must be recalled.
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...
Engine mount failure, looking at a 2000 dollar repair to replace, seems is a common problem needs attention. Has caused an additional mount to fail, and is affecting the transmission mounts as well
The contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. While driving approximately 60 mph, a loud noise was heard underneath the hood. The vehicle was pulled over onto the side of the road. The contact opened the hood and noticed a gaping hole in the engine block from where the ignition coil and spark plug blew out of the engine. The check engine indicator illuminated. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.
My Honda Odyssey is burning too much oil than it should. I am needing to add 1 quart every 2 weeks if that as it is already down 1 quart. It is regularly on time going in for oil changes and has been serviced since I've bought it in 2015. It has had many other issues and has been repaired. Now this is seemingly a problem. The oil percentage is not telling me that it is low or none at all. No oil dummy lights have come on when I have not a drop of oil. I have switched and used high mileage oil rather than conventional and go every 3,000 miles & even did a treatment recently. Nothing is doing the job.
Excessive oil consumption with 3.5L vtec engine for which Honda was found liable on 2008-2013 Odyssey and a slew of other models. My 2005 is doing the same thing yet 2005-2007 cars are not included. Safety wise - when the oil pressure is low enough, the engine will lose nearly all power and cannot safely accelerate (barely maintain speed) yet, the engine oil warning light has never come on in the vehicle...
While driving, acceleration of first gear is hampered, vehicle has loss of power and slips gears. Unable to get out of the way of fast moving traffic or the ability to get out of the way when in the middle of a busy intersection safely. Vehicle has less than 57000 miles on engine.
Our 2005 Honda Odyssey vibrates, especially around 35-45 mph. Honda told us that the engine mounts have broken and that is what is causing it. They are not a cheap fix. Engine mounts, the last thing that you would think would go out on a vehicle! yet, when you go online, this apparently seems to be a massive problem with these vans. Honda has a problem with their engine mounts braking and this seems to be ok with them. This is not ok. They need to take responsibility for this failure. We have already been through having to replace many other failures from Honda throughout the years, including replacing the fuel cap before they recalled it. We will no longer be purchasing Honda vehicles.
Torque converter going in the transmission. I see that there are numerous complaints about this issue and that Honda has been aware of this and has done a service bulletin but no recall. This has been going on for over a year.
Dealer said 2 engine mounts bad. The front one, is over $500 just for the part. Two issues: How was it determined this part was bad and with such a significant price for one of them (there are two on this model), I take issue with the obviously flawed design. I am seriously considering legal action referencing both the above issues. My biggest concern is a fault design to drive service sales later in the life of the vehicle.
Driving at about 65 then acceleration, the can starts to shack bad, to the point danger to drive, I was able to advoide a crash, don't know about next time. Looked online this happened to allot of people at different number of miles, as little as 50K and different speeds (40-65)Odyssey's 2005-2010. Design problem. May happen multiple times in life of van, car be expensive to fix each time. I bought this van used with 145K expected some problem. But from what I have found this is a big problem to allot of drives. Danger, danger, danger
The contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. While the vehicle was at the service center for maintenance, the independent mechanic diagnosed that the engine mounts would need to be replaced. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 125,000.
