IT WAS PURCHASED NEW, WAS IN OUR POSSESSION 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH AND HAS LESS THAN 29,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

IN APRIL 2009, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT(CEL) CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR STALLED WHEN I STOPPED. IT RESTARTED AND WOULD REPEAT THIS WITH EACH STOP. I TOOK IT TO MY USUAL GARAGE (THE LIGHT WENT OFF ON THE WAY THERE!) AND THEY SAID THE ONLY CODE THAT COME UP WAS P0172 FOR RICH FUEL, THEY PUT FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN THE GAS AND IT DROVE FINE--WHICH IT DOES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT OFF. IN MAY, THE CAR 'S CEL WAS STILL SPORADICALLY COMING ON AND STALLING,AND I CALLED THE 800# FOR HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPOKE WITH A RIANO. WHEN I TOLD HIM O…

THE 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY FAILS TO RESTART FROM TIME TO TIME REQUIRING JUMPSTART. BATTERY WAS CHANGED EARLY LAST YEAR WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM SO FAR. THE LATEST ONE OCCURRED YESTERDAY WITHIN ABOUT THREE WEEKS OF THE PREVIOUS SUCH INCIDENT. THE VAN HAS BECOME VERY UNRELIABLE NOW. *LA

THE POWER SLIDING DOOR FAILS TO OPEN ELECTRONICALLY, EITHER THROUGH THE REMOTE, THE DRIVER'S CONTROLS ON THE DASH, OR THE HANDLES (BOTH INTERIOR & EXTERIOR) ON THE DOOR. THIS ONLY AFFECTS ONE DOOR (SO FAR). THE DEALER SAYS THAT WASHERS HAVE TO BE ATTACHED TO FOUR GROUNDING WIRES INSIDE THE DOOR IN ORDER FOR THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY TO WORK CORRECTLY, AT A COST OF $240. IT IS ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT IT SEEMS THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN EITHER THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE.

A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS AND DEADLY DEFECT IN THE SPRINGS OF 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI-VANS. ON DECEMBER 9, 2005 WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE DRIVER-SIDE SPRING OF MY ODYSSEY SUDDENLY FAILED AND BROKE INTO TWO PIECES. THIS CAUSED MY VAN''S STEERING TO IMMEDIATELY PULL HARD TO THE LEFT AND INTO THE OTHER LANE IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND NO OTHER DAMAGE OCCURRED TO MY VAN OR TO OTHERS. WE REPLACED THAT SPRING AT OUR EXPENSE AND VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE REMAINING SPRING SHOWED NOTHING UNUSUAL. WE WERE TOLD …

I DRIVE A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAVE 50,000 MILES. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK AND ALTERNATOR. WHEN I CALL THE MANUFACTURE THEY SAY I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A DEALER MY CAR WAS ALREADY AT A REPAIR SHOP. TANK WAS BROKEN IN HALF AND ALL MY GAS WAS LEAKING. I HAD BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG WITH THIS PROBLEM I DRIVE FOUR CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES. WHEN I WAS GOING TO PURCHASE THIS VAN, I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND I CHOOSE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST RELIABLE CAR. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO PUT SO MU…
