Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda odyssey. while the vehicle was parked, the passenger side electronic sliding door would not close and remained in the open position. the door also could not be closed manually. the vehicle was driven to the local dealer (napleton honda, 17220 torrence ave, lancing, il 60438), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no solution was offered. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 140,000.

I was going to pack the car (stationary in my driveway) on sat july 7th for a family reunion when i pressed the passenger side sliding door button on my key fob. while walking to my 2012 honda odyssey i heard the noise of the door opening but the door remained shut. while next to the car and without touching the handle i hit the passenger side sliding door button again, and again just the noise of the door opening/closing could be heard but the actual door remained shut. i looked up into the track and didn't see the cable, looking closer at the car i noticed that the cable was actually dangling down the edge of the sliding door. the cable had snapped off. the vehicle is currently at della honda in plattsburgh, ny being worked on.

The passenger sliding door got detached, the dealer indicated that the middle roller broke but the door should have not detached from the car. i was not expecting a heavy door to fall off and i injured my back a little. this is the way things happened. around 4:40 pm, the side sliding door did not closed correctly, stopped in the middle and open again. tried for about 1/2 hour but could not close the door. -5:20 pm, my wife and i decided to drive with the door half open to our home and drop the kids -5:40 pm we removed the car seats to take the car to the dealership. -6:15 pm arrived a the dealership but service department was closed. they recommended to try to close it manually. 7:00 pm got back home and attempted to close the door, the door fell on me. following day at 8:30 am, took car to dealership, while moving the door fell off again, i attached it and used passenger seat belt to hold it. 9:00 am arrived at dealership. 12:56 pm dealership called to indicate the middle roller broke. i asked if the door should have fall of and service agent said it should have not.

My 2012 honda odyssey was stationary in my 2 car garage the morning of jan 10th 2018. i was with my 3 toddlers, getting ready to pack them up in the van when i pressed the drivers side sliding door button on my key fob. immediately after i pressed the button i heard a loud pop noise and scratching. i held my kids back and called for my wife to bring them inside. in the time i turned to get the kids out of the garage the sliding door had scratched the side door panel and then the door popped off the car and hit my garage wall, it was hanging at a 45 degree angle. the only thing that was holding the door from falling completely falling off the vehicle completely was the middle cable and the bottom roller.

2012 honda odyssey touring elite, garage kept w/ 63k miles, peeling paint between windshield and moonroof. honda mall of georgia nor honda corporation will repair paint defect. i've had clear coat issues on a black accord v6 coupe in the past and will not buy another honda until they resolve the paint issues.

I was in an accident on october 21, 2017, we were heading to cabelas an outdoor sporting goods store. i was not aware of any stop signs and did not notice the car coming from the left of me. by the time i did notice i slammed my breaks but it was too late. the airbags for this van did not deploy but the light indicator was on for airbags being deployed. also, the front seat belts became locked after the collision. i was left wondering why my airbags did not deploy. i was able to drive my van home but should have not done so since the seats were locked.

Purchase brand new honda odyssey in 2012. paint failure became visible in july 2017. vehicle has never been wrecked nor abused. claimant made attempts to go through protocol at honda consumer channels. received evaluation from reputable body shop used by my local honda. the paint pealing is an adhesion problem occuring at manufacturing. honda has only recognized the problem in 25 northern states (back door only, dark colors). i live in the south. ironically, this honda is produced in lincoln, al. honda refuses to acknowledge their error nor do they respect nhtsa. vehicle used daily in transport of my family. paint peeling to base coat roof and back panel. pics attached. cutting corners on paint work is unacceptable to this claimant. honda operates in interstate commerce and has a duty and a contract with citizens that purchase their products.

Paint began peeling in two small spots on roof during a drive, and currently the entire front part of the roof is paint-free. paint has recently begun peeling in a small spot behind the driver-side sliding door. i'm trying to avoid the $1,000+ repair cost by doing it myself, but as i prep the area (light sanding), large sheets of paint are continually peeling off. i'm sure the entire vehicle is defective.

When its heavily rain and wind, water comes inside through the roof top antenna while driving in average speed. the local dealership(david mcdavid honda of frisco) check into this once, but they couldn't find anything. they tried by using a garden hose, but it didn't have an issue. they confirm with me that they saw water marks on the roof upholstery.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda odyssey. the contact stated that the rear passenger side sliding door opened, but would not close all the way. it remained in the middle. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the door motor and rollers had to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Wind noise across the windshield is significant and also air leak on driver side window; dealer put in new door seal, but this did not help. they said they know of the complaints and had no fix for it. in dec of 2012, one year after i first started to complain, then contacted corporate honda directly, the dealer was able to fix my air leak at my ear. now i can hear all the air noise around the windshield and sun roof. they say there no fix for this. at speeds of 40 mph and above it is aggravating. we have consistently complained to the dealer about this at every visit. this is not a car to buy for anything but to get your kids around town. *tr
