2006 Honda Odyssey: windshield wiper failure

Filed Mar 29, 2020 · Body, Driver assistance · IL

My passenger doors stopped opening by button and handle, turning signals, brights, dash signals, windshield wipers, door locks, horn. All stop working whenever the car feels like it and more then a couple don't work at same time. Driver side passenger seatbelt doesnt stay tight for my daughters car seat abd unable to use other seat as that door doesnt work at all anymore. The steering is also very difficult when turning into a parking spot to the point that I have to use all strength from both arms to pull the wheel into the direction I need the car to go

Multiple electrical problems occur intermittently in wet conditions including failure of window wipers, headlights, door locks, and rear sliding doors. As described in honda service bulletin 08-078 this is a result of a defect in the trim panel that exposes electrical connector c701 behind the left rear side trim panel to moisture.

Failure of exhaust system heat shields could cause vehicle fire. Consumer has no way of knowing that the safety shields are no longer in place. Dealer indicated exhaust system heat shields were loose and missing and had to be replaced. Dealer indicated failure to replace could result in melting of insulation on electrical wires. I feel the heat shields should have been manufactured using stainless steel to prevent corrosion and loss of this important safety feature. At $615 to replace, it is unlikely many people will have this work performed, especially as the vehicle ages. There are normal/expected safety features that car owners expect to replace (tires, wiper blades and bulbs). The consumer has no way of knowing if the safety shields have fallen from the vehicle. When contacting honda customer service I was told it was my responsibility to keep the car operating in a safe manner. But if I was not told (by the dealer) that I had a safety issue, I would have had no way of knowing. There are likely many other unsuspecting odyssey owners with this potential safety/fire hazard.

Dt*: the contact stated that the shortness of the steering column creates fatigue while driving 65 MPH for prolonged hours on normal road conditions. The vehicle's doors cannot open without pressing the unlock button first which creates a delay in case of emergency conditions. The vehicle's doors will not lock if one of the doors are not closed. The contact expressed that the rear windshield wiper only works intermittently which creates a rear vision problem.
