2010 Honda Odyssey: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Jul 10, 2023 · Body · TX

Yesterday(7/9/23) when trying to open and close our back sliding door on the drivers side it was making a louder grinding sound and was difficult to open/shut. No warning lights. Today when pushing the button to open the door it started to open and then fell off the frame on the top and mid rail. Only connected by the bottom rail. It appears that the mid rail/ slider is the part that failed causing the door to come off its hinges. It also caused large deep scratches to the body of the car. This is a serious safety concern. The door is heavy and could have hurt someone. We are very lucky that my kids were still strapped safely in their car seats. We strapped the door to the car in an open position and have not gotten it inspected yet. Upon researching I have now seen hundreds of reports of this same thing happening to others.

Have had intermittent issue with the automatic feature not being able to fully close the driver's side door. Today, I tried to open it but driver's side door was making grinding noise and only opening 1/3 of the way on the automatic setting. I disengaged the automatic sliding door function and opened it manually. Slid open no problem. I reengaged the auto setting when I went to close the door. It started to slide close and a little less than half way, it fell at me, coming completely off the car other than a small guide wire in the center. I can not get it back into place and am looking into getting it towed to be repaired. When the center roller came off the track it left gigantic gashes in the paint/metal on the side of the van.

Right (passenger) sliding cargo door fell off track and gouged the side panel of the van. The vehicle was stationary in driveway. Noticed in week prior to the incident that there was a grinding sound when opening door, and it would sometime catch and re-open when closing as though it hit an obstacle. Dealer mentioned maybe some sand or grit in assembly. In driveway, we opened door then walked away to throw something in trash heard a noise and came back to find the door had fallen off and was hanging from the cable used by the power open/close mechanism. Significantly damaged car further trying to get it to close enough to to take to repair shop and prevent damage from impending rain at time of incident. Was very difficult to fight the power mechanism and to turn the heavy door the correct way to get all the pieces in their correct rails and position, never did get entirely closed. Took to dealership. Dealer advised to take to body shop. Body shop sent me back to dealer who would not take vehicle for several days but then ended up fixing the door the same day for about $575. The body damage has not been addressed.

The sliding door mechanism makes a rough, grinding sound. Have tried to lubricate them, but does not seem to help. Have owned previous odysseys and they never sounded this bad.

Took vehicle to dealership because I have a concern about grinding noise from the rear brakes when backing up. I was told that the noise is coming from the parking brake pads. I could let them sand the edges for $200.00, but the problem would probably return. At that point I declined to have anything done to the parking brake. I was told that no harm would be done to the vehicle while this is happening. I think that honda should look into this matter because I consider braking a very serious matter, especially at some point in time if you cannot stop.

We bought a new 2010 honda odyssey from the honda dealer last year and started to notice that the brake makes grinding sound occasionally when I step on it. And the passenger side can feel the shaking when the brake is engaged. I tool to the dealer last month. They told me the break is fine. It is probably the ABS system causing the grinding and shaking. There is no need to fix. But the problem persists and we need to get it fixed before an accident happens.

At 7000 miles, the transmission made a very loud grinding and rattling noise, shaking the vehicle, when shifting from r to d. This was repeated at 25,000 miles several months after the software upgrade. In july of 2010, vehicle was brought in for memory steering, they replaced the right strut. November of 2010, the vehicle steering is unstable at low speeds when turning left. The sensation is either over-activity of the power steering pump or under-activity. Vehicle seems very unstable under low speed driving conditions, especially on bumpy roads. Vehicle taken to dealer, they could not identify anything abnormal.
