2000 HONDA ODYSSEY Unknown Or Other Problems

The odometer is often unreadable. This has happening for several months now, maybe over a year, but recently more and more. I looked online and many people are saying this is a safety issue - these readings are used for inspections, maintenance, insurance, etc. Th problem is that there are extra segments highlighted in the LCD display, which makes the affected digits unreadable. Like, if all 7 segments appear showing an "8", that could be any number. If the number shows as a 7, it might really be a 1 -- you can't tell. If it shows a 3, that might really be a 7 or 1. Sometimes there is no actual digit showing, just a random assortment of segments. Date of "first" occurrence below is just an estimate, but it has really gotten worse in the last few weeks.

MY KEY LIGHT IS ON AND MY KEY WON'T TURN MY VAN.I JUST TURNED IT OFF AND 2 DAYS LATER I FOUND THIS PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED HONDA ODYSSEY SEVERAL YEARS AGO FROM A THIRD PARTY SELLER. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 K MILES I STARTED TO NOTICE "JUMP" IN THE GEARS AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED IT WAS TRANSMISSION, MY CAR DIDN'T PASS INSPECTION AND I GOT A SUMMONS ALREADY. I NOW COME TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SOMEONE SUGGESTED THIS WEBSITE FOR ME TO TAKE THIS CASE FORWARD.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE. WHEN I NEGOTIATED A TURN INTO MY TURNAROUND, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT TIRE AREA. I STOPPED AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, SAW NO VISIBLE DAMAGE, THEN DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO MY MECHANIC'S GARAGE. UPON INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE BROKEN.

THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY VAN QUIT WORKING, FIRST THE SUPER CHEEP PLASTIC HANDLES BROKE. I'VE REPLACED THEM 3 TIMES. THEN THE AUTOMATIC OPENER QUIT WORKING. AFTER GETTING IT FIXED 3 TIMES, AND REPLACING THE LATCHES, THE DOORS STILL DON'T CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE DOORS ARE NOT BEING SECURED! I'M HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR AJAR AND REAR DOOR SWITCH OFF SO THE BUZZER SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES MY KIDS GET TRAPPED IN MY VAN AND HAVE TO EXIT THROUGH THE FRONT OR THE BACK. I WORRY ABOUT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. HONDA WONT FIX IT. "IT IS NOT A REGULAR OCCURRENCE." SAYS HONDA SHOP MANAGER. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, IT IS A PROBLEM! THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2000-2002 HONDA ODYSSEY'S SLIDER DOORS AND THE DEALERS' INABILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE 4 TIMES

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. TWO WEEKS AGO, MY SLIDING DOOR SENSOR WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THE DOORS WERE CLOSED BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE THE ALARM IN THE CAR WOULD SOUND AS IF ONE OF THE DOORS WAS OPEN. I CHECKED THE DOORS AND AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES OF OPENING AND CLOSING THEM, THE ALARM DID NOT SOUND. I WAS DUE TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED FOR ITS 75,000 MILE SERVICE SO I WAITED TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR IT'S ROUTINE SERVICE, AS I DO FOR EACH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DOOR SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1,100 TO FIX. I EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. HONDA IN TURN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD...

PROBLEM WITH 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY MOTOR MOUNTS. VEHICLE WITH 70000 MILES. FRONT AND RIGHT MOTOR MOUNTS NEEDED REPLACING. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATES A VERY FREQEUNT OCCURANCE WITH HONDA ACCORDS AND ODYSSEYS POINTING TO A DESIGN DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. REPAIR EXPENSIVE TO OWNER.

POWER SLIDING DOORS OPENS BY ITSELF. DEALER REPLACED LATCHES. PROBLEMS STILL EXISTED. CALLED AND SPOKE WITH MANUFACTURER'S REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT PROBLEM AND I ASKED FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON DOORS. NO RESPONSE. CALLED DEALER TO FIX PROBLEM. DEALER WILL NOT DO REPAIRS UNLESS THEY SEE THAT DOORS ARE OPENS BY ITSELF. ALSO, SOMETIMES POWER DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE FULLY IN. SOMETIMES POWER DOORS BUZZER WILL COMES ON OCCASIONALLY. IT'S ANNOYING. I THINK THE DEFECTIVE DOORS ARE UNSAFE ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN. I NEED A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON DOOR PROBLEMS. ALSO FAN BLOWER IS NOISY AT MEDIUM TO HIGH SPEED. DEALER FIX ONCE.PROBLEM ARISES AGAIN. 80-85% OF THE TIME THE FRONT BRAKES ARE GRINDING. NEW PADS, SAME PROBLEM.
