    The sliding door on my odyssey fell off. It literally fell off right onto my body while i was pumping gas. Not only did this cause physical harm to my person, but it resulted in substantial body damage to the vehicle panel.

    Unusual shifts between 30-45 mph. Seems like transmission is "hunting" for gear. When going downhill and brake is applied a noticeable downshift is felt. First time this was observed was on winding and hilly roads. Assumed it was the "eco" kicking in/out or the transmission simply downshifting.

    The "d" / drive led started blinking several times at around 104.660 miles. So far no other fault led was flashing. However i discovered since a while that the transmission shifts very hard when driving slower and the transmission shifts from 3rd gear to 2nd gear. The honda technician however told me that this rough shifting is not an issue.

    I bought my 2007 odyssey in 2014. It had 55000 miles on it and appeared to be in very good condition. It ran very well except that the emissions light would come on and usually stay on. It did pass during one short period. Noticed as it went over 60,000 it had more and more transmission problems. Would not back up; wouldn't go into eco mode; shuddered during driving, until it was undriveable. There were no…

    While pulling our 2007 honda odyssey into parking space at local shopping center, tapping on brake pedal caused a sudden acceleration. Tachometer revved to > 2500 rpm. Two other witnesses in the vehicle verified that the accelerator pedal was not being pressed at any time during the incident. The only way to bring vehicle to stop was to push the brake with great force, pop the shifter into park and turn vehicle off.…

    While traveling on flat, level surface streets at roughly 40mph, car would spontaneously downshift (to 1st gear?) causing the vehicle to slow very quickly/lots of drag (locking up seatbelts) as if the brakes were applied quickly. The vehicle will then reshift back into a higher gear with little to no resistance again. This may happen 1-4 times within a 60 second period. Pulling the car over, turning off and turning…

    I am getting a thud sound from the back of my 2007 odyssey mini van. We called honda and they said they have had several people come in with this. They found that there is a glazing that happens with the brakes and they said they have to grind the drums and it makes it go away for awhile. They said if the brake shoes are ok it would run about $200.00. This is crazy if they have a problem with the brakes other than…
