2005 Honda Odyssey visibility problems

Filed Nov 19, 2019 · Electrical, Lights · 140,050 miles · MA

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.

I went out to unlock my van and it wouldn't unlock. Thought the battery in key fob was dead. Found out that the delay wiper setting, rear wiper, high beam lights, turning signals. Door locks, washer fluid, outside temp display, warning lights, like the seat belt and the one that tells you that you left your keys in the ignition, are not working. Have checked all fuses. Need help please.

Power steering does not work well at low speeds (I.e. Parking and turning corners). Vehicle is hard to turn and could result in crash. Also, rear motor has failed, which could result in undesirable shifting of transmission.

Vehicle has been exhibiting a very harsh shaking/vibration while in eco mode. This is distracting as well as uncomfortable. Recently the vibration has gotten so bad, we can not see out of any of the mirrors as the shaking vibrates them to the point of complete uselessness. The worst part is that we just paid $2000 at a dealership to replace the rear motor mount and flush transmission again. We have had this van since 60k and serviced transmission four times now, replacing motor mount twice. This time, with no apparent effect.

Recently noticed like the brakes are not released fully after the application resulting in a "flat tire feeling with noise" took the minivan for scheduled recall service. Per service person, they replaced the caps of brake master cylinder. Driving back home @ 70 miles, felt like the steering loosing control, stopped at the near by chevrolet service center: they didn't felt any major issues with the steering but felt like the service wasn't done as they said. All the dust was evenly there all over the master cylinder: all over the bonnet. I feel no change with the friction noise from the brakes: " a little worse?" how do I ensure that a genuine service was done? Now I feel insecure to drive on this, like driving on black ices. The electronic system was rest last time, but not it is back to not working good: resulting with trouble with the A/C knob not working smoothly.

While driving on I-90, the sun roof exploded for no apparent reason. Temperature was 45 degrees. Inside sun roof cover was closed so no glass entered the interior. There were no vehicles ahead of me. Had the cover been opened and small children in the middle seats, serious injuries may have occurred. I suggest that a safety notice be issued stating that when the middle and back row of seats are occupied then the sun roof cover be closed. I feel this is a manufacturing flaw as there have been other instances of the same problems and most are directed towards the 2005 model odyssey van. In addition a safety recall may be in order. I feel strongly that the public should be informed.

The sunroof spontaneously combusted while driving (speed 50, temp 63 degrees). We had 4 kids in the car at the time (2 not mine) and glass hit each occupant. Luckily no one got cut, but my son did get hit in the eye. Will be bringing it to the dealer today.
