2009 Honda Odyssey electrical problems

Filed Feb 4, 2024 · Electrical, Lights · CT

Windshield wipers and also the key fob and the sliding doors as well as the blinkers do not work all at the same time first time it’s ever happened. It was December 8, 2023 and now it happened again in January 29 of 2024 and the issue still persisted when I look this issue up this has been an ongoing issue for many years and yet Honda has done nothing about this and it’s not just the 2009 it’s other years as well as other Hondas from other years as well, it is a defect within the company where they’re doing something that causes these things to go! It is a safety issue as this just happens out of nowhere without any warning while I’m driving. All of a sudden it just happened the first time and I didn’t even realize it until I didn’t hear the clicking and someone said hey your blinkers are not working. Also, the second time it happened happened all over again while I was driving out of nowhere would not work and it was raining as well and I couldn’t see anything and my lights wouldn’t work so it’s definitely a safety issue .

I purchased a 2009 honda odyssey from west auto sales located at 6145 e. Lancaster rd. Fort worth, tx 76112 on 03/27/2021. I have had nothing but problems with it. The first two days of driving it the check engine light came on due to the catalytic convertor needing to be replaced. The dealership managed to get the check engine light off without replacing it. A few days after getting the car back the serpentine belt broke off. I notified the dealer and brought it back to them. They informed me that there was a bolt broken inside the tensioner and it would take four days in order to get the tools and supplies needed in order to fix it. The next day I received a phone call from the dealer and told that they got the bolt out with no problem and put a new tensioner in and replaced the belt. Not even a week after that the belt came off again and I had to have it towed to firestone complete auto care and they told me that the same broken bolt was still there holding together the tensioner. All the dealership did was put jb weld on the broken bolt to hold it together. I have notified the seller and got no help. Now my van isn't drive able and it will cost another $800 to get it fixed the right way. I did a carfax report on the vehicle and found out that it has even been in a wreck that wasn't disclosed. I have been told by two different mechanics that I was sold a lemon.

Right rear sliding door has opened while car is moving. Suspect it is the cause of the battery being drained twice in the last few days when car was not driven during 48 hour period. The door will not open electronically now. It has to be forced open manually.

Front passenger doors doesn't open from inside of the car unless unlock/lock/unlock is pressed from driver side. This has been occurring from 2010. Talked to dealer but they can't find anything wrong. And I didn't want to pay for investigation. They said it has to be fail and remained failure for them to see and investigate.

The car was off and the daytime running lights started coming on which was draining the battery. Different lights started to illuminate on the dashboard with the car off. The vsa light came on. Took it to a couple of different shops to get it diagnosed and they determined that the cabin wire harness is corroded due to a leak in the roof run channels and or windshield. The under the dash fuse box is also showing corrosion and needs replacing. The vehicle only has 64000 miles and the repair is quoted at $3465. A very costly repair which seems is due to faulty manufacturing or assembly.

All windows except the driver's stopped functioning. This problem happens with engine on or off. This problem happens when stationary or moving. Tried the child safety button, but still a problem. You can hear them click, but the motors will not engage. It appears there is a faulty master switch. Others have the same issue here: https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-c3836_ds530625

Unable to lift up passenger side window (front and rear) once window is down mainly in cold weather. Also time to time, unable to open front passenger side door from inside. I have to open and close the door using drive side button from inside the vehicle, or use remote control to perform lock/unlock function. For window operation it doesn't matter if the vehicle is moving or not moving. For lock operation vehicle is not moving. For both operation vehicle engine could be on. This problem has been there since the day one I bought the vehicle. Dealership was informed but they were unable to find the problem because most of the time problem recovers by the time we reach dealership (30 minutes later)

Took the car to the honda dealership for emissions check light. Diagnosed as "nox sensor wiring harness chewed by mouse" per honda dealership. There is no evidence of rodent damage or presence elsewhere in the vehicle. The honda dealership did not provide me the pictures or the damaged part saying that it was thrown in the trash. The wiring was apparently covered by honda rodent deterrent tape. I have contacted acura/honda dealerships, their extended warranty customer service and also the respective acura/honda manufacturer customer service. The same thing happened to my other car (acura mdx 2009) within a span of one week with exactly similar presentation. When I requested information from the above sources, I was told that this was confidential information and is not available for customers and that is it is a rare event and not related to manufacturing defects and also there was no definitive trend in acura/honda(same company) nox sensor wiring harness being chewed by rodents and have refused to cover it under extended warranty program to which I have subscribed/purchased. I have another entry regarding the other vehicle at the website.

While driving on the highway at approximately 70 MPH my wife's 2009 honda odyssey began to shake as I stepped on the gas the engine light came on and the vehicle lost engine power and I had to manually steer to the side of the highway.. Upon opening the hood I could smell that something was burning. The vehicle was towed 79 miles to my mechanic. I was informed that a spark plug blew out completely and a portion of that plug entered the cylinder and damaged the engine. The entire threading of the spark plug was damaged and melted into the engine. I was informed that the entire engine needs to be replaced.
