The passenger side front door glass separated from its framework/bracket and fell into the door. The vehicle was moving at the time - my daughter was driving it I believe on the highway. While we were getting the very costly repair done, another woman was there with the exact same issue - I just happened to overhear her - right after the maintenance rep informed me that he had never heard of it happening. I am submitting it now because I realize if people don't speak up, nothing will be investigated. We no longer own this vehicle and we gave all the maintenance records to the gal we sold it to. It was repaired by park honda in akron ohio and we can only estimate the timeframe and the mileage. If needed, I could try to find old credit card statements that might narrow it down.

We live in minneapolis, we drove the car to houston on 5/112017. Our car was in a crash it hit the front car and it was completely damaged in the front and has been totalled. The airbags did not deploy when the car was in an accident and my wife sitting in the passenger seat , though was wearing the seat belt hit in front and her chest hit the dashboard and caused immediate pain. Generally incidents like this the airbags should be deployed for the safety of the driver and passengers. The car was recalled once and the honda dealer in white bear lake said the airbags were replaced but still they did not work.

Honda issued a recall notice, service bulletin:08-031 " warranty extension: paint peeling on dark blue 2003-2005 odysseys". I am attaching the service bulletin for your ref. My 2003 honda odyssey was affected and its blue color was peeling off of places. On feb 24th 2010, colonial honda of dartmouth, ma repainted the areas of car as per the bulletin: which were roof, hood, top half quarter panels, and top half fenders. My concern was that honda chose to just paint the few areas and if other areas starts to peel off as well but I was told by colonial dartmouth dealer that to keep cost down, honda is only willing to re-paint the affected areas and should any other be affected at a later point, those will be done at that point. With that said, I agreed and let the dealer do the work. Some time later I noticed the paint is peeling from other areas. It is exactly the same way it is peeling, like it did before and matches pictures shown in the bulletin attached. So, I went back to colonial honda and they told me that I need to call honda I tried to explain that they had promised to take care of this problem at a later point if peeling should occurs but now they are not honoring their word and looking the other way and also made derogatory remarks about my car, that " your car is 13 years old" !!! Subsequently, I called honda customer service and opened case# n012015-04-2100738. After about 30 min of keeping me on hold, honda customer rep, matthew told me the same thing the dealer said, that it is outside of the warranty period. If honda would have done the recall properly the 1st time, by painting the car on all areas I would not been having this issue. This is a recall that was not done in its entirety.

2003 honda odyssey ex was tapped in the rear by a large pickup truck while waiting at a stop light, creasing the lift gate and slightly puncturing the bumper cover. Jeff's body shop in chester md is the repair shop. Upon removing the rear bumper cover, they discovered the steel frame to be severely rusted, with over half of the bottom of the beam missing. There was no damage to the steel frame member from the accident. Had this been a more serious collision, the beam could have seriously failed at its intended purpose. This van was garage kept from 2003-2010, well cared for and generally not driven when it snowed and roads salted, and in temperate maryland the entire time. The repair shop will be cutting out and welding in a new frame member. Photos of the rusted part are available upon request. I've also asked the body shop to save the part for inspection.

Was driving my wife and 4 small children to decatur,al from huntsville,al to the riverwalk and out of nowhere started feeling a small shake and then very noticeable frightening full vehicle shaking which startled my family and frightened myself,I really thought we were about to have a wreck. Let off the accelerator and it started to not be so violent in the shaking,and then accelerated slightly again and there it was again,and I believe it may be the transmission. I am not a mechanic but upon doing some recent research I see that it is either failed rear or motor mounts or even the tranny what ever that means. But if it is a failed defect then they should address this because this is disturbing and unsafe to me,and my family never made it to the riverwalk. Why do we pay so much for a vehicle and then can not get any help other than funds we hardly have?
