HI I PURCHASED USED HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING 2005 AND DRIVING THE SAME PRESENT METER READING IS 160K. I DID NOT GET ANY SERVICE RECORDS OF THE VEHICLE FROM PREVIOUS OWNERS AND COULD NOT KNOW WHETHER THESE PROBLEMS EXISTS PREVIOUSLY ALSO. ONE DAY LEFT SLIDING DOOR OF THE TOURING COULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY AND AUTO ALSO. AFTER A WEEK A TIME IT STARTED OPENING IT SELF. LATER I FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND TAIL GATE DOOR OR BACK TRUNK DOOR ARE LOCKED AND CAN NOT OPEN WITH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES AND ALSO CAN NOT OPEN MANUALLY ALSO. IT IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT ABLE TO OPEN MANUALLY ALSO IN CASE ANY ACCIDENT WHICH MAY TAKE LIFE OF PERSON NOT ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE VAN. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS FEATURE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DID NOT APPROACH THE HONDA COMPANY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE SUGGEST ME TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION. *TR

FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR ON OUR CAR OPENED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. THE DOORS ARE VERY TROUBLESOME, REFUSING TO CLOSE, SHUTTING ON PASSENGERS AND EMIT A LOUD BEEPING NOISE WHEN NOT ABLE TO LATCH. NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, WE CANNOT GET THE NOISE TO STOP AND HAVE TO PUT THE DOOR IN MANUAL TO GET THE NOISE TO STOP. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE DOOR OPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THE MECHANISMS WERE FINE AND IT WAS PROBABLY A STRING. YESTERDAY IT OPENED ABOUT 5 INCHES WHEN I HAD A CHILD IN THAT SEAT. THE DEALER TOLD US TODAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE IT. HONDA TOLD US TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS WEAR SEAT BELTS. AN ONLINE SEARCH PROVED OUR SITUATION IS NOT UNIQUE. WE ARE SHOPPING FOR A NEW CAR, BUT ARE ASTONISHED AT THE LACK OF CARE HONDA HAS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CLIENTS. *TR

WHERE DO I START....ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED BRAND NEW. NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 3-4 YEARS, AND THEN: TRANSMISSION WHINE, TOOK IN TO DEALER OFF AND ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS, COULD NEVER IDENTIFY ISSUE, THEY SAID. BUT AS SOON AS THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED, MIRACULOUSLY, THEY IDENTIFIED IT, AND NOW SAY I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MOTOR MOUNTS FOUND TO HAVE CRACKED; PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON PER INTERNET FORUMS, BUT HONDA DEALERSHIP DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR DESIGN/FAULTY MOUNTS. DOOR FOR SECOND ROW HAS ISSUES SLIDING; ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM PER INTERNET BUT NOT PER DEALER. AND FINALLY, THE STRUTS FOR THE REAR HATCH BROKE, ALMOST INJURING MY SON VERY BADLY WHEN HE WAS PUTTING HIS BIKE IN THE BACK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND ASKED ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. I PAID $300 4 MONTHS AGO, AND JUST NOW FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL 3 YEARS AGO, AND THEY DENIED IT!!!!! I HATE HONDA AND WILL NEVER BUY THEIR CARS, AND DO NOT TRUST THE DEALERSHIP. UGHHH!!!! *TR

Honda will replace the liftgate struts in approximately 21,776 model year 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring vehicles equipped with power liftgates that were built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly on July 16, 2005 (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-055).Vehicles built after the change experience significantly lower failure rates.The recall will inform consumers of the dangers of the existing struts and provide the opportunity for vehicle owners to obtain new struts that are more robust.Based on Honda's action, the agency has decided to close the investigation.While Honda has not made a decision that the recalled vehicles contain a safety-related defect, in view of the recall, further use of the agency's resources does not appear to be warranted.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Additional information can be found in the attached Engineering Analysis Report.
