DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW IMPLODED, SHATTERING GLASS ALL OVER MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN. THE POLICE OFFICER WHO STOPPED TO HELP US ASKED IF THE AIRCONDITIONER WAS ON, SAID THAT IF THE WINDOW WAS HOT ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE COLD ON THE INSIDE A WINDOW COULD SHATTER LIKE THAT. WE ARE REPORTING THIS INCIDENT TO HONDA AS WELL, THE WINDOW IS BEING REPLACED.*AK

THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY ODYSSEY HAVE FAILED THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THE DEALER HAS BEEN REPLACING THE MOTORS AND LATCHES. THE CONCERN IS THEY ARE NOT LATCHING AFTER THEY FAIL. THE OTHER CONCERN WAS THEY TRIED TO TELL MY WIFE THAT SHE NEEDED TO PULL ON THE TOP OF THE DOOR TO RELEASE THE TENSION SO NOT TO BURN OUT THE MOTOR. $26,000 AND WE NEED TO PRY THE DOORS OPEN? I LOCK THEM MANUALLY NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THEM OPENING WHILE TRAVELING.

HAVE HAD POWER SLIDING DOORS LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. EACH TIME DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, TILL NOW. DOOR AJAR BUZZER WOULD SOUND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. TURNING OFF POWER SWITCH SILENCED THE BUZZER & DOOR SEEMED OK. LATELY, THE DOOR WAS NOT LOCKING. DEALER DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM, REPLACED JUNCTION CONTACTS WITH "UPGRADED" ONES. THEN NOTED THE CLUTCH MOTOR THAT CLOSES THE DOOR DID NOT COMPLETE THE JOB & THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT LATCHING! HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD OPEN ACCIDENTALLY. WE HAVE PLACED 2 CALLS TO HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA, WITHOUT RESPONSE, LOOKING FOR AN EXTENSION ON THE WARRANTY TOWARD THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS MOTOR. STILL WAITING FOR RESPONSE AFTER 6 DAYS.

POWER SLIDING DOORS OPENS BY ITSELF. DEALER REPLACED LATCHES. PROBLEMS STILL EXISTED. CALLED AND SPOKE WITH MANUFACTURER'S REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT PROBLEM AND I ASKED FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON DOORS. NO RESPONSE. CALLED DEALER TO FIX PROBLEM. DEALER WILL NOT DO REPAIRS UNLESS THEY SEE THAT DOORS ARE OPENS BY ITSELF. ALSO, SOMETIMES POWER DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE FULLY IN. SOMETIMES POWER DOORS BUZZER WILL COMES ON OCCASIONALLY. IT'S ANNOYING. I THINK THE DEFECTIVE DOORS ARE UNSAFE ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN. I NEED A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON DOOR PROBLEMS. ALSO FAN BLOWER IS NOISY AT MEDIUM TO HIGH SPEED. DEALER FIX ONCE.PROBLEM ARISES AGAIN. 80-85% OF THE TIME THE FRONT BRAKES ARE GRINDING. NEW PADS, SAME PROBLEM.

WITHOUT USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER SYSTEM THE TUBE THAT EXTRACTS THE WASHER FLUID EXTENDS OUTWARD. THIS ALLOWS ANY FLUID TO ENTER THROUGH THE WASHER TUBE INCLUDING RAIN. THAT DRAINAGE ENTERS THE VEHICLE COMPARTMENT.*AK

WHEN THE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CLOSES IT WILL NOT LATCH SECURELY. YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO LATCH. SEVERAL 2000 ODYSSEYS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SYMTOM, HOWEVER, MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT MAKE A GOODWILL REPAIR. A CASE HAS BEEN OPENED WITH HONDA BUT THEY STATE IF THEY APPROVE REIMBURSMENT FOR REPAIR IT WILL ONLY BE PARTIAL.

WHILE LOADING VEHICLE WITH GROCERIES, AND UPON SHUTTING REAR CARGO DOOR, GLASS SHATTERED AND BROKE INTO LITTLE PIECES. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

SLIDING DOOR HIT REAR QUARTER PANEL WINDOW, CAUSING WINDOW TO SHATTER. DOOR WAS MOTORIZED, AND NOT CONTROLLED. *AK

DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR REPLACED. *SLC

THERE IS A LOUD WIND/VIBRATION NOISE FROM FRONT LEFT SIDE AROUND WINDSHIELD AND OR DRIVER'S DOOR. NOISE IS CONSTANT WHEN DRIVING ON OPEN HIGHWAYS.WE HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. FIRST TIME THE DEALER ADJUSTED DRIVERS DOOR (WHICH WAS OUT OF SPEC ACCORDING TO DEALER). SECOND TIME, REPLACED RUBBER MOLDING/INSULATION ON DRIVERS DOOR WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER BOTH VISITS, THE NOISE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. WHEN THE NOISE APPEARS YOU CAN FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE INTERIOR MOLDING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD.

HUSBAND TAPPED WINDOWSHIELD FROM THE INSIDE OF CAR TO KILL SMALL BUG AND WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON THE OUTSIDE. WINDSHIELD IS INDENTED ON THE OUTSIDE. THE INSIDE HAS NO CRACKS OR MARKS. HUSBAND AND I COULD NOT REMEMBER ANY OBJECTS HITTING THE WINDSHIELD DURING A RECENT TRIP. TALKED TO DEALER ABOUT POSSSIBLE DEFEAT. DEALER HAS NOT RETURNED CALLS. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT TAPPING WINDSHIELD OR THE POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTS HITTING THE WINDSHIELD.

DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR BROKE AWAY, BUT INTACT MIRROR GLASS FELL OUT. POOR DESIGN , COMPROMISES SAFETY BY ELIMINATING REAR VISION. *AK
