The contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the battery would intermittently drain overnight while the vehicle was turned off. The contact had taken the vehicle to several dealers including New Century Honda (1235 S Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91204), AutoNation Honda Valencia (23551 Magic Mountain Pkwy, Valencia, CA 91355) and several independent mechanics who replaced the battery; however, the mechanics were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the battery would last for a three to six-month period before the failure would occur again. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. Upon his own investigation, the contact stated that the failure may be linked to the rear driver sliding door after the door failed to open electronically, and could only be opened manually. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The contact states that there is an issue with the rear sliding door. This may be the cause of the battery drainage since the door often cannot be electrically opened, only manually.
Yes when I purchased the vehicle I was missing a few fuses, my back left door won't open or close on my car display it always shows that the back left door is always open. Also the car was missing a break pad on the front left wheel. It's also missing the passenger airbag. The dvd player doesn't work it always says error. And the car is missing all motor mounts so basically my motor is just hanging on top of cables in my car. The GPS display was also missing and my front right window doesn't close all the way up. The major #1 issue is the electrical problems in my car. I have 2 children I'm scared on day everything is fine & then one day it's not with my kids in the car god forbid. Oh yeah and the middle row left seat doesn't lean forward or back.

The sliding doors fell of the hinges or get stuck before that happened
The van die while driving after about 2 hours. If you wait an hour it will restart and drive for another 2 hours then will die again while driving.
Failure of high beam, running lights, directional signals, power door looks, intemittent wipers. Failed safety inspection. Mechanic worked all day could find the problem. I drove it home. A couple of days later it was working. I brought it back to get a inspection sticker. All good. Worked for about a week then stopped working. I realilized the only difference was that outside temperature. It failed in the cold. I ran the heater in the car for about an hour on max heat. Still no good. A few days later while walking by I pressed the door open button on the key ring and they worked , I jumped in and tried the directionals, high beam, running lights and power door locks. A few days later the outside temperature dropped and it stopped working. Today (milder weather) I tried it wasn't working. I turned on the heat to high and the heated seats and left running for an hour. When returning I found the intemittent wipers were running and so was everything else. This a safety issue. If you went out in the day and it got cold while parked and issue came back ,you would not have running lights, high beams, and no directional signals. I think there are other electrical components that also dont work. This has happened many times. I live in the northeast and the weather is now cold. Never know when this will happen. This happens typically when in the morning.
The paint is chipped off the car slowly , and the electronic part of the car acting weird, the daisy door some times work automatically and some times not
Passenger' sliding door alarm sounded when driving was not open. Battery repeatedly being drained. Dealer removed sliding door closer motor (!) now door will not stay closed and if you force it closed alarm will go off randomly. This problem with power doors is all over the internet. Please help.
