2005 Honda Odyssey

HI I PURCHASED USED HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING 2005 AND DRIVING THE SAME PRESENT METER READING IS 160K. I DID NOT GET ANY SERVICE RECORDS OF THE VEHICLE FROM PREVIOUS OWNERS AND COULD NOT KNOW WHETHER THESE PROBLEMS EXISTS PREVIOUSLY ALSO. ONE DAY LEFT SLIDING DOOR OF THE TOURING COULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY AND AUTO ALSO. AFTER A WEEK A TIME IT STARTED OPENING IT SELF. LATER I FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND TAIL GATE DOOR OR BACK TRUNK DOOR ARE LOCKED AND CAN NOT OPEN WITH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES AND ALSO CAN NOT OPEN MANUALLY ALSO. IT IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT ABLE TO OPEN MANUALLY ALSO IN CASE ANY ACCIDENT WHICH MAY TAKE LIFE OF PERSON NOT ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE VAN. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS FEATURE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DID NOT APPROACH THE HONDA COMPANY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE SUGGEST ME TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION. *TR

THIS PROBLEM STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT BECAME WORSE TILL THE IGNITION KEY JAMMED AND BECAME HARD TO TURN TO START THE ENGINE THEN, LAST WEEK, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS ASKED TO BRING IT IN TO THEM BUT WAS HESITANT TO. I WENT ON TO MY COMPUTER, DID A SEARCH, AND SAW SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE 2005 ODYSSEY EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEMS AND THE COST THAT THEY WERE QUOTED WAS ASTRONOMICAL. I THEN LOOKED UP A RELIABLE LOCKSMITH, THAT WORKED ON IGNITION SWITCH REPAIRS, LOCATED IN MY CITY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPAIR IT. THE TUMBLERS, ACTUAL ONE (1), HAD BECOMES WORN AND THAT CAUSED THE SWITCH TO FREEZE. I DO REMEMBER A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS OF HONDA FOR HAVING THIS SIMILAR TYPE OF SITUATION. I DID FIND OUT DURING THIS VISIT WITH THIS LOCKSMITH THAT A LOCAL DEALER, NOT MINE, WOULD BRING THEIR HONDAS TO THEM, THAT HAD BEEN BROUGHT IN TO THEIR HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND HAD THIS LOCKSMITH COMPANY DO THE ACTUAL REPAIRS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ALONE AROUND 30 MILES PER HOUR MY AIR CONDITION WAS BLOWING COLD AIR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE IT STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR AND I THOUGHT I MAY NEED SOME FREON, BUT SINCE IT WAS CLOSE TO THE END OF SUMMER LAST YEAR I FIGURED I COULD HOLD ON UNTIL SUMMER OF THIS YEAR. I FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT RECHARGED AND WAS TOLD THAT MY AIR COMPRESSOR WAS NOT WORKING. THERE WAS NO SIGN AT ALL AND I AM WONDERING WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST STOP WORKING. *TR
