The sliding passenger doors continue to fail to open electronically and are extremely difficult to open if they do not open electronically. This can be an issue for passengers in the event of an accident as everyone would have to climb out the front doors. The doors can only be opened electronically when stationary. When attempting to open manually, doors can only be opened a few inches.

There is a serious problem with the rear bumpers rusting away with no way of knowing. My family rode around in this car for maybe 2-3 years with a bumper that had rusted so badly it was literally falling apart, but remained inside of the bumper cover, so we did not know it. Finally it rusted so badly that it began to leave rust stains on the driveway and i traced it to this problem. By this time the bumper was…

I stopped behind a car waiting to merge from a parking lot to highway 193. The car ahead pulled out a little. Then apparently changing his mind, he backed up into me. I had not pulled forward, but he still totaled my car. Surprisingly, my airbags did not inflate. The collision bent my hood, cracked the grill, broke the bumper.

Honda's undercoat is blamed in research i have made. I have always trusted honda, but am alarmed and unable to…

Have owned this oddysey since 2008 and the vehicle at that time had around 40,000 miles. At that time i had to replace the front engine mount. Las week i went to the dealer for 90k service and they tell me i need to replace both the front right and front middle mount again!!!. So these mounts last 40 to 50k miles at max, outrageous for a brand like honda. I will cost me now 800$ to replace these 2. *tr
