The battery on my honda odyssey was found dead this morning. This is more than 10 times in the last 2 years and more than 50 times since i got it in 2007. Have had the battery replace and still no improvement. Reading on the internet suggest a honda issue with the electrical system that they do not acknowledge. A lot of people are having the same issue. Letting the odyssey sit for an hour or two somehow fixes the…

Seeing no more smoke we figured a fuse had blown or some such and took a short break from driving. We got back in the van and started off down the highway and for 30 miles or so no problems. Suddenly we noticed the smoke again but…

I have a problem with the power sliding doors. On our 2000 exl odyssey, the passenger and driver side power sliding doors close but not quite all the way, it will not "engage", or "catch". Therefore, the van thinks the door is still open (open door light is on, buzzes continually when put into gear, and interior lights stay on). I have to get out and bump the rear of the door to get it flush. For some reason the…

Electric back doors are inconsistent with either not opening/shutting all the way. Sometimes will not open at all. Not safe with children/persons in backseats for emergency situations. Honda repaired once when under certified warranty. Has happened several times after. Vehicle not under warranty and honda dealer is charging astronomical amount to repair. Saying there could be electrical shorts and possible danger.…

Sliding door failures: 8/2005 passenger door failing to open. Took to the dealer who replaced door closer motor assembly.

Cost $361.37 1/2006: driver sliding door failing to open. Dealer had to replace sliding roller and junction switches and stopper.…

Dt: the spark plug blew out of the rear cylinder while driving on the highway. It sounded like a loud shot gun. This happened on july 10, 2005. Had not changed anything under hood. Contacted honda, they would not pay to tow vehicle to dealer. The consumer fixed it himself. It massed up the ignition coil, shorted out the system, and shut the engine off. *ak

Regardless of humidity level, i get a horrible static/electrical shock every time i exit the vehicle. The local dealer gave me a honda fact sheet with suggestions i.e. Use static guard, ground with key in ignition, spray with scotch guard, however, nothing reduces the shock! I hate driving this van. Honda needs to address this. After speaking to several other owners, they all have the same problem, but just live…
