2004 Honda Odyssey body complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 55, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Paint is falling off the vehicle. Even wind on the highway is making it fall off.
Paint is peeling over the whole body of the car.
Drivers side top sliding door track is coming loose the spot welds are braking loose from the body. The sliding door is a little lose. I am concerned that it will brake loose completely and the door will fall off while we are driving. This is a 2004 honda odyssey lx. I have called honda directly but they say that I have to visit a dealer first before they will decide anything.
I was entering an 4way and it was my way to clear to enter, when a driver on my right side enter after I had allready entered the intersection and was well underway. The other driver complain that he was blinded by the sun and ran into me on my right side of van. My insurance asked if my airbags had opened they didn't. The passenger door was damaged and the back side sliding door was completely damaged and was not able to open it and the opened door ding would not stop ringing. I am concerned why the bag didn't opened?
Have owned this oddysey since 2008 and the vehicle at that time had around 40,000 miles. At that time I had to replace the front engine mount. Las week I went to the dealer for 90k service and they tell me I need to replace both the front right and front middle mount again!!!. So these mounts last 40 to 50k miles at max, outrageous for a brand like honda. I will cost me now 800$ to replace these 2.
I started leasing honda odyssey 2004 from honda dealership in april 2004 for 3 years, has not any problem with vehicle in that period (warranty period). I bought after lease and all problems started. 1): radio stopped working, honda replaced "free" because I bought additional 2 year warranty with $100 deductible, 2): back side window also stopped on open position, honda fixed for $100 deductible, (past 4 years both side windows doesn't work), 3): (one of major problems for blue color odyssey's this year), paint started peeling from hood, roof, under glass of both side sliding doors, around back both side windows and whole paint on tailgate, honda covered only hood, roof and around back both side windows, when asked to paint rest of places they said don't have instruction about other spots from honda (its was very funny, like: "doctor know better, are you dead or alive"), now honda offers me for paint it with discounted price. 4) transmission fails, couldn't get any gear until resetting from hole top of steering will,changing trans oil didn't resolve this problem (this what mechanic told me) in honda dealership 5) in 2011 on scheduled oil change mechanic told me to change all engine mounts and front shocks for $2500, hydraulic engine mount got leak and broke other mounts, I bought all engine mounts and front shocks for $700 and changed my self....now SRS electronic control unit....I guess its too many defects and problems for this car....btw I'm a first and only owner of this odyssey and got only 96k miles on it....
The midnight blue paint is peeling. I did not receive notice of honda's 2008 recall of this problem. When an independent car repair shop told me of the problem in 2012 I then went to a local honda dealer to report the problem. Honda said that it was past the window of time in which honda would restore the paint job at their expense. I told them that I did not receive a recall notice. They did not care.
Two several sections of paint started peeling off without corrosion or scratch. Areas affected: hood, roof, near the back windows and sliding doors. The peeling are major on the roof. This seems a known issue with the dark blue honda odysseys. I took it to the dealer but said because it's 9 years old they weren't obligated to fix it.
About may 2013, I noticed the paint peeling from the area near the back windows. When I told the technician at honda roseville, he just said it was wear and tear. It can't be wear and tear in the upper frame of the windows. If it is not addressed soon, the paint will continue peeling up to the roof area. Through research, I have found several complaints about peeling paint on this model and color of vehicle.
I was coming out of apartment parking lot and suddenly car stopped. I have to towed car to herb chamber of honda in westborough, ma. Technician told me that it is a computer failure. I am not sure why computer fail as before this incident my used not to start after parking. To start I had to insert key and move gear from parking to d1 and move it back to p and it started all the time. I not sure this is a computer issue. They are charging me $1500.00 for this. Could you please help to resolve this. Since I bought this car I am having issues, my car paint is peeling off too, without corrosion or scratch.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the hood became detached from the latch and crashed into the windshield, destroying the glass. The vehicle was towed to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the windshield and the hood would need to be replaced. The contact was also advised that the roof would need repairing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 168,000.
Took our honda odyssey van in for service with the local honda dealer. Was told that we had broken motor mounts. Dealer service center said that this is a common problem for this year/make/model and was a real risk to our safety if we didn't get it fixed. If it is such a risk, why is there not a recall? From looking at the number of complaints on this site, there are so many is it to numerous to count them all.
Two sections of paint started peeling off of the hood,abouth the size of softballs. This is a known issue with the dark blue honda odysseys. I took it to the dealer, thry acknowledged the issue but said because it's 9 years old they werent obligated to fix it. *tr ## VIN passed ## 2004 honda odyssey ##
Parked car in parking lot--backed into spot--put into park?--shut off engine/removed key and exited vehicle/locked door and went into store--was informed within 5 minutes car had rolled approx' 50 feet into friends pickup truck..my left front[driver side] had smashed into right rear of truck-no damage to trk--my car actually in reverse when key removed and engine stopped.
Check engine light on and tcs light flashing. Diagnosis code p0740 indicates: torque converter lockup malfunction.vehicle will not shift into the highest gear at freeway speed, shudders when accelerating at approx 20 MPH and gas mileage has decreased significantly. Determined that there is internal slipping requiring a new transmission. Seatbelts do not retract and get caught in doors. Several areas of body have midnight blue paint peeling.
Side and front motor mounts discovered to have failed at 59852 miles on 2/19/09 and had to be replaced. Now, 6/18/12, rear (transmission) mount discovered to have failed at 88000 miles and has to be replaced. Normal family driving for vacations and around town only. No extreme conditions or roads.
About 2 years ago, the window actuator failed on the passenger side, I paid to repair this. Over the last 6 months, another 4 actuators have failed. One of them is the lock actuator on passenger side, second is the lock actuator on left sliding door, another is the window actuator on driver side and the actuator for driver side door lock. The problems of this magnitude are a serious safety issue as the window actuator on driver side suddenly failed while driving and was scary as the window just fell into the door. The other actuators failing with locks and doors can be a serious problems, especially with children in the vehicle where the window or door suddenly opens or closes. This seems to be an electrical component problem that need to be addressed by a national recall.
I have a 2004 honda odyssey. The paint is peeling on the front hood in several spots and the clear coat is peeling on the drivers side rear sliding door. I have brought the car to my local honda dealer where it was purchased and also contacted american honda. They both claim there is nothing that can be done for me.
My 2004 honda odyssey automatic power sliding door opened while driving onthe highway going 55 MPH. It also opened while driving 35 MPH. It opens on its own whenever it wants and will not close or lock completely. I have contacted honda corp and they state that I have to pay the $100's or more to get diagnosed. I feel it is a safety issue!! And should be fixed for free. An automatic door that opens on its own is a safety issue. I have contacted the dealership I bought it from and they state I should pay for it as well. I am not the only owner with the same issue. A kid could fall out when the door opens or if I get in an accident and that door opens the person sitting there would be dead!!! I have video taped it opening while driving!
Sliding doors don't open/close as they should trapping people inside.
While driving on the highway my passenger side power door kept opening and closing on its own. I tried to manually shut it and it still will not completely shut. The same happens with the driver side power door.
Both of my power sliding passenger doors on my 2004 honda odyssey are broken. There is a button to shut it off and manually use the doors but it does not work. The doors open on their own and never close properly. The spring broke off of one of the doors and scratched that side of my van. There are many complaints about this but honda will not cover it!
There were no events or issues leading up to the event. While traveling at a speed of approx 35 MPH the latch on the slider door (driver's side) became disengaged and the slider door opened. The door was properly closed and and locked. The slider failed to close after that. Put the vehicle in for replacement of latch.
We have a 2004 honda odyssey and the driver's side sliding door will not securely close. It closes most of the way then, instead of latching, stays just unlatched and keeps the warning going off. I hear this is a common honda problem. I am concerned because my has to turn off the electric doors in order to drive the vehicle (even after bumping the door closed) and that (1) negates the warning feature and (2) makes the vehicle unsafe in my opinion because the doors do not function properly.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the driver's side sliding door opens while the vehicle is being driven. The most recent failure occurred while driving 15 MPH. The door can be opened both automatically or manually. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the sensor in the motor assembly was not receiving a signal that indicates the vehicle is being driven. This causes the door to become ajar. The dealer feels that the manufacturer should be responsible for the repairs, but the manufacturer refuses to repair the vehicle for free. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. The current and failure mileages were 76,500.
Driver side rear door will not close securely and will not lock. Door slides open in transit. Door has had difficulty closing intermittently for several months and will no longer close securely at all.
Both power sliding doors will not operate (close) without manual assistance. Problem started about 1 year ago with one door and has gotten worse over time. Recently the door scraped down the entire side of the van while attempting to close causing damage to the exterior of the van.
My daughter and I both opened her door at the same time (she with the handle and I with the button on the key). The door opened just a little and then stopped. I asked her to open the door and she said, "no, you open it." she began to get in the car (through the small opening in the door) and I pressed the button. The door closed on her - it did not stop. It pushed hard enough against her to cause a huge mark on her arm. It is completely black and blue and she screamed out and cried loudly from the pain. The door after closing on her reopened. It should have never closed on her. The sensor should have caught it. - we took pictures of her arm if you need them. I have also been caught in the door a couple times (twice) when I was buckling my kids in and accidentally pressed the button. The door didn't stop even though I was in the doorway. I looked online to submit a complaint to honda, but they don't have a way to do it online. I have not yet complained directly to them. Let me know if I should.
When parking on a slight incline with the front doors wide open they close without notice. I almost had a crushed hand from unexpected failure of the detent to hold the door open. The local service department said it was caused by heavier doors due to side impact reinforcement. Can't the detent spring load be increased to correct this problem?
