What 2004 Honda Odyssey owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Bracket holding seat to body of vehicle snapped. Appears to be manufactured incorrectly. Failure occurred while driving down the road causing the seat to suddenly jerk and fall.
Our drivers side plastic mold has completely broken the seat frame has also broke causing this to be a huge safety issue. If I am rear ended, this seat will have no way to prevent me from being thrown backwards! The seat is wobbly and unsafe to drive! I have read many more complaints with this same issue! Please issue a recall!
Our 2004 honda odyssey driver side seat broke from the bracket. The welds that hold the seat to the bracket broke causing the seat to start tilting and wobbling while we were driving down the road. This is a safety issue due to the fact that it is possible to loose control of the vehicle while driving increasing risk of collisions.
Need a recall to be issued by the federal safety agency or proper gov organization. The passenger seat belt tensioner and the buckle were replaced after the SRS light was illuminated. Now the driver-side buckle and seat belt tensioner is causing a problem and SRS light is on again. Honda is using delay tactics. Want to scan the car for $100 to re-confirm the same problem even though the car was scanned in the prior week! Srs light stays on after engine start (obviously stationary)
Driver sear failure broke and recurred again,5 months later. I had to pay out of my pocket. This is my second honda odyssey I got from this dealer. Up date driver seat broke again.
Driver's seat has come loose and it is not stable when driving, especially when adjusted for different drives in the family. Went to dealer and they said they don't fix that!!! Moves side to side and stays on one side. Happens when driving, and when stopped.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. Upon taking the vehicle in for state inspection, it was discovered that the rear bench seat was loose due to corrosion of the uni-body. As a result, the vehicle failed inspection. Due to the corrosion, it was unsafe to have passengers in the seat. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and did not assist. The failure mileage was 255,000.
