On september 12th 2019, around 11pm i was driving approx 45mph on a road with no other cars in sight. it was one of the hottest days of the year with the heat index that day over 100 degrees f. while i was driving there was a loud explosion above my head. after recovering from the shock, i looked up and discovered that the sunroof had shattered completely (still together). i pulled over. there was no holes or nicks but a large outward protrusion as if the it exploded outward from the interior of the car. as i drove it home some of the top pieces of the crack eventually broke away forming a hole. the next morning i took it into the honda dealership and they didn't even look at it but just claimed that a rock must have hit it. they told me the large upward protrusion was caused my driving wind after the crack had happened (but i pulled over instantly). this seems incredibly dangerous and i am sad that the dealer won't even aknowledge the possibility of a defect in the sunroof glass.
The passenger side sliding door opens up automatically as the car is in motion. the van is set to lock all doors when taken out of park. the van doesn't go into park thus allowing the sliding door to open. this is the second row of the van where my children sit. when it has opened, on its own, my child has been sitting there. the dealership can't figure out what is causing the door to open or why the doors don't lock. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda odyssey. the contact stated that both the rear driver and passenger side sliding doors failed to function properly. when pressing the automatic button to close the doors, the doors reversed instead of moving forward to close. the contact stated that the doors could only close manually. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the parts that needed to be replaced were unknown. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 24,000.
The rear lift gate is impossible to open in cold weather for our 2016 honda odyssey ex. there is only one mechanism to open the rear lift gate - a physical button on the rear lift gate. when temperatures dip into 30 or 40 degrees f, the lift gate will not open. honda released a service bulletin (16-063; april 11 2018) indicating that this is a known problem affecting all odysseys between 2011-2017 (and all crvs between 2012-2016). unfortunately, we are out of warranty and are facing an expensive repair. given the number of vehicles affected, we would expect honda to issue a recall rather than a service bulletin. this is definitely a hassle, especially when attempting to load anything into the trunk, and could represent a significant safety issue in the event of a crash when other doors are inoperative.
Automatic sliding door would not close. when attempting to manually close, door completely feel off top track and came out of middle panel causing significant damage to body of carmel vehicle was not moving and was parked in a parking lot
Takata recall my honda odyssey is a 2016 model. i took it to the dealer when i discovered the wires were broken to the sliding electric door. i was told it would be $1500 to fix. i inquired about this because a mini van is built to allow the doors to easily be opened and closed. the dealership said that they had seen many complaints about the door regarding this model.they turned off the door, so that i couldn't open it. i told them i would call honda headquarters and they said nothing could be done. i essentiallly had to turn off the ability to automatically open the door when a stop is made otherwise a loud beep would emit. this is very unsafe beacuse i am hard of hearing. when it is time to get out of the car i turn the automatic back on, so that the kids can easily exit from one door. i open the left door manually which is very hard. i live on a hill, so i open the door and let kids in but the door slams shut! how unsafe is that, a door slams into a child because i live on a hill and am forced to use the manual setting. nobody got hurt, but someone could have. a few days later, i was with my family and we were all in the car, the doors were in the manual setting and thd door didn't close all the way. i am in motion and the door opens. luckily everybody was secured in their seatbelts, but we were just getting moving. would if my child was unbuckled and the door opened? my kid would fly out! how unsafe! this needs to be fixed!!!!

2016 honda odyssey. consumer writes in regards to push-button start/key lacks adequate volume to notify consumer when vehicle is still running. vehicle needs an automatic shut-off after a certain length of time. *smd
