2011 Honda Odyssey Body & Structure Problems

Your Odyssey's roof has developed severe rust and corrosion since 2015, with paint peeling across the entire roof line. The rust appears to be coming from underneath the trim or roof components, suggesting the seam sealant, drainage system, or factory primer may have failed. This type of early-onset rust in these specific areas is not typical wear and tear, but rather indicates a potential manufacturing defect.

THE PAINT IS PEELING THERE IS A XTENED WARRANTY FOR OTHER HONDA VEHICLES SO THEY'RE CLAIMING THAT MINE DOESN'T FULL UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME AS OTHER HONDA VEHICLES

SLIDING DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE WOULD NOT OPEN BY REMOTE OR MANUAL. SO BACK PASSENGER HAVE ONLY ONE ACCESS DOOR. I THINK THIS POSES AS A SAFETY ISSUE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY THAT WE NEED TO VACATE THE VEHICLE RIGHT AWAY.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR BROKE. HAVE BEEN OPENING AND CLOSING MANUALLY JUST FINE. TODAY THE DOOR FELL OFF. IT WAS PARKED IN OUR LOT.

THE CABLE ON BOTH AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS HAVE BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED BOTH TIMES. BOTH DOORS DO NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY NOW. THIS CAN CAUSE A HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WHERE SMALL CHILDREN (OR ADULTS) ARE IN THE BACK SEATS. THE ONLY WAY IN OR OUT IS THROUGH THE FRONT DRIVER/PASSENGER DOORS OR THE REAR LIFT DOOR. BOTH WAYS INVOLVE CLIMBING OVER SEATS.

CABLE ON RIGHT SLIDING DOOR SNAPPED A WEEK AGO, BROUGHT TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY STATED IT NEEDED A NEW CABLE. YESTERDAY WHEN OPENING DOOR WHEN VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, HARD TO OPEN, FINALLY OPENED AND GOT MY INFANT OUT, WENT TO CLOSE DOOR, HARD TO CLOSE THEN FELL OFF THE TRACK, BENT PIECES ON THE INSIDE OF DOOR.

CLEARCOAT IS FADING AND PEALING

WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE, FACING DOWN HILL, I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE MOTORIZED SLIDING DOOR TO ALLOW THE KIDS IN. THE DOOR OPENED HALF WAY. I HEARD A SNAP AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT. LUCKILY THE KIDS WERE NOT GETTING INTO THE CAR YET OR WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN INJURED. FOUND THAT ONE OF THE WIRES THAT RUNS THRU THE DOOR MOTOR HAD SNAPPED. ONLY REPAIR FOR THIS I'M TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IS REPLACEMENT OF THE MOTOR. COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'M READING AS WELL.

A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR MECHANISM. THE DOOR WILL OPEN AND CLOSE WHEN USING THE BUTTON OR REMOTE BUT WILL NOT REMAINED LATCHED. AFTER THE DOOR SHUTS, THE LATCH WILL LET LOOSE AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN AJAR ABOUT AN INCH OR SO CAUSING THE BEEPING AND DASH ALERT THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN. THE ONLY RESOLUTION TO QUIET THE BEEPING IS TO REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THAT DOOR AND USE IT MANUALLY.

I PURCHASED A 2011 WHITE HONDA ODYSSEY FROM A SMALL TIME DEALER ON NOV 2012. I OBSERVED THAT THE ROOF OF THE CAR HAD ITS PAINT PEELING OFF AFTER ABOUT A YEAR 2013 NOV. I WENT TO A REPUTED DEALER, WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE PAINT ISSUES WITH HONDA BUT TOLD THAT 2011 MODELS ARE NOT ONE OF THOSE. HE CONTACTED HONDA AND CAME BACK WITH AN OFFER OF $400 TO COVER THE PAINT ISSUES. BUT THAT WOULD NO WAY CUT IT AND I FEEL CHEATED AND RIPPED TO HAVE BOUGHT A HONDA. WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN.

THE MANUAL SLIDING DOORS (BOTH SIDES) ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPEN. CHILDREN AND ADULTS ARE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO PULL WITH EXTREME FORCE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE. FROM THE INSIDE, PASSENGERS HAVE TO LEAN INTO THE DOOR WHILE PULLING BACK TO OPEN IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY SIMPLY SPRAY THE SEALS WHICH DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED AN EX MODEL WITH AUTOMATIC DOORS. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, I SUSPECT PASSENGERS WILL HAVE MUCH DIFFICULTY EXITING THE REAR OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TAIL GATE FALLS AFTER LIFTED, EITHER MANUALLY OR VIA POWER. STRUTS NOT HOLDING IN UP POSITION, RESULTING IN TAIL GATE CRASHING DOWN, POTENTIALLY WHILE BENT OVER INSIDE TO LOAD CARGO. *TR

MANUAL SLIDING DOORS (BOTH SIDES), ARE EXTREMELY HARD FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN TO OPEN, EITHER FROM INSIDE THE CAR OR OUTSIDE THE CAR. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT/IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY CHILDREN TO OPEN THE DOORS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY HELP. MANY ADULTS WOULD EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY OPEN THE DOORS FOR PEOPLE. FROM THE INSIDE, YOU NEED TO PULL THE HANDLE WHILE PUSHING OUT ON THE DOOR, AND ALSO PULLING TOWARDS THE BACK. THE SLIDING DOORS DO NOT "POP-OUT DISENGAGE" LIKE ALL OTHER MANUAL SLIDING DOORS I'VE OPERATED. *TR

"RUNNING BOARD" ON HONDA ODYSSEY EXL 2011 IS SLIPPERY WHEN WET. IN GAINING ACCESS TO REAR SEAT IT IS NECESSARY TO STEP ON THIS PART. SEVERAL NEAR FALLS OCCURRED WHEN FOOT SLIPPED OFF RESULTING IN BRUISED SHINS. *TR

The paint on your 2011 Honda Odyssey's tailgate is peeling off. Honda issued a recall for this issue in the past and extended the paint warranty to 7 days, but your warranty has already expired since you discovered the problem last year. You're frustrated that Honda's extended warranty period was so short for a known defect. Fixing this will likely involve repainting the tailgate or having it refinished by a dealer.

Your car's white roof paint is peeling off in large sections, indicating a serious adhesion problem between the paint and the metal underneath. This is a cosmetic issue that doesn't affect how your car drives. The fix will likely involve sanding down the affected areas and repainting the roof with properly adhering paint.
