Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While the vehicle was stationary, the driver side sliding door detached from the vehicle's hinges. In addition, the passenger side sliding door became stuck on more than one occasion. A dealer was not made aware of the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.
The 2 sliding doors open while the vehicle is in motion. This should not happen. The door closes and latches but becomes unlatched when driving at any speed. This is a safety issue. I have read about many other owners who have the same issue online. When we contact honda they say it is not their problem and they won't fix it without me paying for it because my van is out of warranty. Please look into this because it is a safety issue.
Passenger side sliding door does not open. If opened does not close at the first attempt, it takes atleast 3-4 attempt to close or open. Sliding door light is on.
There is rust over the rear wheels on both sides. I have seen this on almost every single similar honda odyssey, same model as the 2006 model I own. The rust is on the body panels immediately over the rear wheels, on both the driver's and passenger sides. This has happened gradually, and occurs on no other part of the vehicle, so it is a quality control issue.
The back doors in the car do not latch properly. One door opens while driving and the other only latches on one side.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While the vehicle was parked, the sliding door cable fractured and the door detached from the vehicle.

This van has been a frustrating nightmare. Besides the pax system tire issues, we have had to fix both sliding doors because they fell off. Last summer the door wouldn't close, then it fell off the track while I was out shopping with my kids. My husband came with some tools and helped to get it closed so we could take it to the auto shop. It was an expensive fix not to mention the damage to the exterior. Yesterday while I was at the library with four of my children ( 8,6,3, and a baby) the other door came off the track. This time, my husband was not around to come help us ( he is deployed serving in afghanistan). We had to get the van towed, and the door stayed open all night because the shop was closed. While there, one of the men working said he is having the same problem with his odyssey. Looking online I see this is a common issue because a piece was made with nylon ( to reduce noise) when it should have been made with steel. There is obviously something wrong with the hardware on this. Honda needs to fix these, instead of leaving the burden to rest on the consumers who purchased these pieces of junk. What a frustrating situation!
Takata recall. My honda van has been losing paint for about 2 years now and its getting worse. I have big spots on my roof, hood and sliding doors. I would like this issue fixed asap.
The paint is peeling off from the hood, side and the roop. Specially, last sunday, we had a heavy rain and the snow. After that day. The peeling part totally peeled off. It looks bad(gross).
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the passenger side sliding door suddenly detached from the rails and separated from the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.
The sub-frame, rr assembly got so severely corroded that it has cracks and fractures and now there is a small hole in it which is deemed as a safety issue that we can't even drive the vehicle. The cost to repair it is more than half my vehicle value at this point. What is pretty interesting is that the honda dealers don't stock the part (50300-shj-a01) and can't really say if or when they can get the part. More than a couple of them have told me that they've never ordered this part before, which leads me to assume that this could not be a normal wear and tear failure. I called honda and they will not rely on a 3rd party (my trusted & reputed local mechanic) opinion and would like me to take the vehicle, most likely tow it, to the dealer at my expense and get it diagnosed at my expense, which my mechanic has already done. That seems unreasonable to me. Can someone help me resolve this matter? This happened when my car was in for an oil service and the technician happened to notice the crack in the part. The reference number of my conversation with honda is: 05223162
Interior water leak from roof panel side curtain airbag. This is not an accident. I bought this vehicle on june 28,2016 from a dealer. It is a used car that is not warranty from the dealer. But when it is raining, water leak from roof panel side curtain airbag.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that was attempting to close the rear passenger sliding door, the door failed to close. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed the door needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired however, three years later the door failed to function. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 250,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 10 MPH, the rear passenger door slid open independently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not provided. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.
Honda has a known issue with the paint on at least a dozen different models and years...except mine. The paint on my hood and roof started chipping and peeling away a couple of years ago, and now it's spread to many of the fender seams, as well as seams and joints on the roof. While it's "only paint"...we all know that rust leads to structural integrity issues, holes and can allow water and elements in to damage the engine. So, this is a safety issue as well as a "visual" issue. I'd like honda to address this for our car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the passenger sliding door seized, preventing it from opening or closing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 151,000.
The passenger's sliding door does not always open using the remote control. This is a hazard to release the door so the rear occupants can exit the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. While driving at 15 MPH, the rear driver side door automatically opened. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
My 2006 honda odyssey went up in flame, while I was driving the vehicle, on 10/11/14. Insurance had me tow it to the honda dealer. After honda having the car for 31 days the insurance paid the repairs & I paid my $500.00 deductible. I'm ready to drive my honda odyssey away on 11/13/14, and I notice the van began to shake violently and the RPM's dropped to almost 0. No report was given to me about what was wrong with van & what future repairs had to be done. All I got was the present repairs due to the fire, even after we had asked them to do a full inspection of the vehicle. Prior to the fire the van never shook, it never had this problem before. While there, they performed the changing of the fuel pump which had been recalled by honda, but now we can not be sure that it was done nor can we be sure that it didn't affect the cars status now. Honda still has the van in their lot & insurance adjuster went to see the car and now honda is saying that the shaking of the car has nothing to do with the fire. According to honda's final report the "probable" cause of fire was in the alternator area -sub-cord alternator to fuse box. Honda said the shake is caused by the rubber motor mounts. I tried to tell honda they are rubber pieces and when rubber comes in contact with heat it melts. Honda will not fix without me paying out of pocket. If the problem really is the motor mounts, I have researched that many people are awaiting a recall from honda on the motor mounts for the fact that theirs prematurely fails. Honda has us on a back and fourth. If they can't be sure what caused the fire and are disregarding the motor mounts going bad due to the fire or the fuel pump recall, then how can they be sure that none of the above is not causing the violent shake on the van.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the rear sliding doors failed to close. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the sliding doors were repaired, but the failure recurred. The specifics of the parts replaced were unknown. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
My 2006 odyssey was hit on the passenger 2nd row by a vehicle that ran a stop sign and sustained significant damage to the 2nd row passenger side. The impact caused the odyssey to spin and was pushed at least 20 feet before being stopped by the curb. My wife was driving and she sustained minor injuries- no one was in the 2nd row thankfully. When I viewed the condition of the vehicle, there was no question in my mind that the side curtain airbag should have deployed. However, after inquiring further to verify this assumption, I discovered that no airbag was deployed. I was shocked to learn this. The side curtain airbag should have deployed and did not. I consider this to be a malfunction, and I am informing you of it as such. In my opinion this is a matter of public safety because a side curtain air bag should deploy when vehicle is hit hard and directly on its side. I was left with the thought of why do they even install these if it does not deploy in this type of accident. I can provide pictures which substantiate the force of the impact and damage sustained. Thank you.
Hood paint is pealing off in sheets.
Van has manual sliding doors. Upon shutting passenger side door normally the door would not open from either the interior or exterior. Child safety lock was off. Lock mechanism works normally but door latch will not disengage. Six months later at 172000 miles the driver side sliding door experienced the same failure resulting in a seven passenger vehicle with no egress for passengers in case of emergency. Upon removal of interior door panels it is clear there is an internal failure of the latch mechanism. All cables and controls work normally but the latches have failed.
My 2006 honda odyssey has 4 broken motor mounts! Extremely expensive to repair. This will be the second time this vehicle gets 4 new motor mounts.
Motor mounts got broken and are bad designs from honda. The cost to repair is very expensive. And it is a safety hazard. Poor quality from honda.
