2006 Honda Odyssey

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. WHEN THE POWER SHUTS OFF AND THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE CONTACT HEARS A LOUD CLANKING NOISE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE VEHICLE RESTARTS AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS ARE MADE AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN 2008; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE FAILURE AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THEY REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE DRIVE TRAIN. A YEAR LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S REAR SPOILER FLEW OFF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ALONG AN INTERSTATE NARROWLY MISSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THE SPOILER APPARENTLY BROKE DUE TO NORMAL USE WHILE THE VEHICLE HAD SOME ICE ON THE ROOF. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE I PURCHASED DENIED COVERAGE. I PAID TO REPLACE THE SPOILER. *TR

I OWN A 2006 ODYSSEY AND AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAILED " DUE SMALL ROCK PUNCTURING HOLE". INTERNET SEARCH SHOWED JUST HOW COMMON THIS PROBLEM IS WITH THE ODYSSEY. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY STATE IT IS AN "ACT OF NATURE". I WAS TOLD I COULD TRY TO HAVE IT COVERED UNDER MY CAR INSURANCE JUST LIKE A ROCK HITS A WINDSHIELD AND IT GETS REPLACED. ( WHY SHOULD THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY PAY FOR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW!) THE ADVERTISEMENT OF LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP IS FALSE, BECAUSE JUST THIS REPLACEMENT IS GOING TO COST $750 IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. IN 2006, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES AND DID NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS. THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE AC SUDDENLY STOP BLOWING COLD AIR. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE CONDENSER WAS DAMAGED BY THE ROCK HITTING IT WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO OWN AN ODYSSEY ALSO EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THIS IS CONSIDER AS A DESIGN PROBLEM FROM HONDA NOT HAVING ANY PROTECTION TO THE CONDENSER AS ROCKS CAN HIT THE CONDENSER FROM THE HIGHWAY AND DAMAGE IT. THIS COST ME ALMOST $800 TO FIX. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND EVENTHOUGH I GOT IT FIXED, THE CONDENSER CAN GET DAMAGED ANYTIME AS THERE IS NOTHING PROTECTING IT. *TR

OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING EDITION MINIVAN CAME STANDARD-EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PAX "RUN-FLAT" TIRES (ENERGY LX4, 235/710R460A 104T). THESE TIRES POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY THREAT BECAUSE OF ULTRA-PREMATURE TREAD WEAR, AND THE FACT THAT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF TIRE CANNOT BE USED ON THE VEHICLE. IT WASN'T UNTIL WE NEARLY SLID OUR VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD THAT WE REALIZED OUR TIRES WERE NEARLY BALD AFTER ONLY 17 THOUSAND MILES. HONDA AND MICHELIN CLAIM THAT "PAX SYSTEM TIRES SHOULD PROVIDE TREADLIFE COMPARABLE TO A CORRESPONDING TRADITIONAL MICHELIN TIRE," BUT THIS IS CLEARLY A MISREPRESENTATION AS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PREMATURE TREAD LIFE OF THESE TIRES CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE SOLVED BY SIMPLY INSTALLING DIFFERENT TIRES BECAUSE THE PAX TIRE IS REQUIRED EQUIPMENT ON THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING EDITION MINIVAN! HONDA ITSELF STATES THAT USING A DIFFERENT TIRE WILL LIKELY VOID THE VEHICLE WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT REPLACING THESE TIRES IS UNUSUALLY EXPENSIVE (ABOUT $1,300.00 USD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR) SO PEOPLE POSTPONE REPLACING THEIR PAX TIRES TO AVOID PAYING THE EXCESSIVE COST, EXPOSING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS TO A SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD. I IMPLORE YOU TO TAKE ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IMPORTANT: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PROPERLY ENTER THE TIRE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS TIRE ON YOUR WEB SITE DUE TO ITS UNUSUAL SPECIFICATION FORMAT. THE PROPER SPECIFICATION FOR THE TIRE IS 235/710R460A 104T. THE "A" IN 460A SIGNIFIES THAT THESE TIRES FEATURE "ASYMMETRIC" BEADS IN WHICH THE OUTSIDE BEAD (450 MM) AND INSIDE BEAD (470 MM) ARE ACTUALLY DIFFERENT DIAMETERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WARMER BURNED THE LEG OF A NINE YEAR OLD CHILD. THE CHILD WAS TAKEN TO THE DOCTOR AND SUFFERED SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE BURNS ON HIS LEFT CALF. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
