2006 Honda Odyssey

MY DAUGHTER, HANNAH (AGE 2 YEARS, 3 MONTHS WAS SITTING IN THE CAR SEAT BEHIND DRIVER IN THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAVE THE 8 SEAT MODEL. SHE TOOK THE SEAT BELT FROM THE CENTER ROW MIDDLE SEAT AND TWISTED IT AROUND HER NECK. I REALIZED THIS WHEN WE GOT TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE. WHEN SHE MOVED HER HEAD OR I TRIED TO LOOSEN THE BELT IT GOT TIGHTER. MY FRIEND HAD TO COME OUT WITH A SCISSOR AND WE HAD TO CUT THE BELT. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SEAT BELT FOR THE CENTER SEAT IN THE MIDDLE ROW CAME DOWN FROM THE CEILING, AND WAS VERY EASY FOR A YOUNG CHILD SITTING IN A CAR SEAT TO REACH OVER AND GRAB IT.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE A GROANING SOUND WHEN MAKING A TURN. THE NOISE TYPICALLY OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE REACHED SPEEDS OF 40 MPH AND ABOVE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE REPORTS OF FAILURE WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMPS FOR THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE PUMP WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS MADE, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY AND MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CONTACT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 5,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED THE INVOICES FOR REPAIR. 05/21/07 *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THE AC WASN'T WORKING, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT A "ROCK OR PEBBLE" MUST HAVE HIT THE CONDENSER CAUSING A PUNCTURE. THE PART ALONE IS $790, AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER OWNERS AS THE CONDENSER LIES LOW TO THE GROUND. HONDA IS COVERING "SOME" PEOPLE'S COSTS, BUT NOT OTHERS. I FEEL THIS IS LIKELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED, AND COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO GRILLE OR PROTECTION FOR THE CONDENSER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR CLOSED ON HER CHILD'S HAND ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE DOOR USESD A SENSOR WHEN OPENING, BUT THE SENSOR FAILED WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR. THE CHILD SUSTAINED FINGER AND HAND INJURIES. THE CONTACT HAS PHOTOS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 40,000 ,AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.*AK THERE IS NO SENSOR ON THE BACK HALF OF THE DOOR. UPDATE 07/03/07. *JB

THE GRILLE DESIGN ON THE HONDA ACCORD 2006 CAUSES A ROCK TO COME THROUGH THE GRILLE AREA AND DAMAGE THE CONDENSOR CAUSING IT TO FAIL TO BLOW OUT COLD A/C. THIS VEHICLE IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW AND BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN THE END USER IS GETTING SCREWED OVER WITH VEHICLE FIXTURES COSTING ME OVER $1000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE CONDENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE AND THEN LABOR BRINGS THIS UP TO $1000 RANGE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIGN THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND THE END USER HAS TO PAY FOR THIS; THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN ANYTIME AND THEN I WOULD BE ON THE HOOK FOR IT AGAIN. *JB

I PURCHASED MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY IN THE SPRING OF 2006, AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP MAKES AN ANNOYING WHINING NOISE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HONDA DEALERS TWICE (ONCE IN NY & ONCE IN FLA), AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PUMP; THAT A "MINOR HUMMING NOISE IS NORMAL". THE TECHNICIAN SAID ONLY THAT IF ENOUGH CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED, A SERVICE BULLETIN WOULD BE ISSUED. SO I'VE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION OR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE WHINING CONTINUES, AND I'M SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT IT! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HOT AIR BEGAN TO BLOW. THE CONTACT LEFT THE AIR CONDITIONER ON FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES AND IT CONTINUED TO EMIT HEAT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS UNSURE HOW THE FAILURE OCCURRED, BUT SUGGESTED THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY DEBRIS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 15,662.*AK

I NOTICED ON 4/10/07 THAT AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) WASN'T BLOWING COLD AIR IN THE 2006 HONDA ODESSEY. HAD MY HUSBAND TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THIS MORNING, AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE A/C CONDENSER TUBE LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS AREA WAS NOT PROTECTED BY A GRILLE, AND THE DAMAGE HAS MOST LIKELY BEEN CAUSED BY ROAD DEBRIS. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TO MANY HONDA OWNERS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, AND I CONSIDER IT TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST $600 TO REPAIR THE A/C , AND WERE NOT GUARANTEED THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I'M GOING TO PURCHASE A GRILL TO PUT ON THE FRONT OF MY CAR MYSELF. *AK
