Problems with 2013 Honda Odyssey STRUCTURE

We were on vacation last week as we were driving at approximately 70mph on i-64 eastbound in virginia we heard a loud popping sound an then loud airflow. we quickly realized our sunroof had exploded. thankfully we had it closed and the shade was also closed and no one was hurt. nothing hit our van and we were not involved in a accident the sunroof just suddenly exploded. when we were able to pull over we found the center of our sunroof was completely shattered. we have found other reports online of this happening.

White paint is peeling off of the vehicle in 3 spots. this began about a year ago and continues to get worse. right and left side of the tailgate, and 1 spot on the roof between the windshield and the moonroof. many other honda odyssey and pilot owners are experiencing this same problem.

The back slide doors will not stay open most of the time will come sliding closed when you are getting in and out and i worry about the kids getting hurt from them cause they are very heavy doors,i have complained to honda told me they couldn't find anything wrong

Driver's side rear door handle for sliding door came off in my hand when i was trying to get my child out of the vehicle in 2016. took vehicle into the dealership for repair and they stated that the handle must have come off due to alleged and impossible "damage" even though the handle was never subjected to anything but normal everyday use. in 2018, the door handle on the passenger side came off in the same manner even though we have been even more careful with the handles after the first incident. reported second incident to honda customer service and dealer service shop. both saw nothing wrong with door handles falling off relatively new vehicle with normal use. very unsafe to be unpredictably prevented from getting your child out of the vehicle.

The paint on the roof has been peeling off due to a defect in the painting process at the factory. this cause paint chips to come off the car and exposes the roof to rusting.

My 2013 honda odyssey sliding door cable broke and the door slid forward nearly catching my young son's hand between the door and the front part of the frame. also now that the cable has snapped the door will not open completely toward the rear of the vehicle limiting the ability to exit the vehicle from that side in an emergency. the vehicle has approximately 70k miles on in it and it appears as though the cable rusted through in one spot although it is coated in plastic.

I was driving down hwy 41 in acworth, ga, with my 2 kids in the car, and i heard a very loud "pop." it sounded like something exploded, but i didn't see anything. i then heard the sound of wind, thinking one of my kids rolled down one of the windows, but i checked them all and they had not. i opened the shade cover for the sunroof, to find a huge hole in the middle of it, and the rest of the glass spider webbed/shattered. i quickly closed it and got home to further inspect. we were unable to figure out why it happened, but spent $800 having it repaired (and that was with a used sunroof).

Paint peeling in various spots on the vehicle. first spot was a small peel on the roof, honda repaired. now the entire lower half of the tailgate peeled during a simple car washing. it came of like it was a decal with no more glue! ughh.

2013 honda odyssey. consumer writes in regards to defective tailgate. *ld the consumer stated the hydraulic stray strut was replaced under warranty. the failure recurred. *js

Our 2013 honda odyssey with 22,000 miles was parked in our driveway for 2 days and spontaneously combusted. the vehicle is a total loss and the fire damages our pop-up camper and the siding on our home. *tr

Child operated button too close automatic rear passenger door and reached behind for seat belt. it was dark and the child was feeling around for the belt, when the door closed on child's hand and crushed fingers. this was in the rear part of the door, next to where the seat belt anchor is. child was screaming and parent operated driver side door open button to release hand. fingers are badly bruised. there is no warning that fingers can get caught in the rear, so it was unexpected. there is also no automatic release similar to that when an obstruction is encountered in the front part of the door. *tr

We have discovered that the 2013 models of this vehicle do not sound the beeper if the driver or front passenger door is open while driving. page 77 of the owner's manual clearly states "the beeper sounds and the indicator comes on if any door or the tailgate is open while driving." we have contacted the dealer and america honda and they say they can do nothing about this feature not working as stated in the manual and the vehicle is not designed to alert the driver to this hazard as stated in the manual. this could be quite dangerous to smaller individuals should someone be driving without a door completely closed. this also makes one wonder how many other safety features honda claims to have in their vehicles that do not work as they claim and have the potential to cause injury and honda is hiding from the consumers. *tr

The third row, right hand side arm rest/cup holder area wall gets hot to a point that passenger on that side cannot sit and is hot enough to burn a person.this also affects the cooling/airconditioning of the car as well. this is a serious safety issue and can cause fire. *tr
