2003 HONDA ODYSSEY Structurebody Problems

My rear sliding door FELL all the way off the van.

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR GLASS SEPARATED FROM ITS FRAMEWORK/BRACKET AND FELL INTO THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT THE TIME - MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT I BELIEVE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE WE WERE GETTING THE VERY COSTLY REPAIR DONE, ANOTHER WOMAN WAS THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE - I JUST HAPPENED TO OVERHEAR HER - RIGHT AFTER THE MAINTENANCE REP INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT HAPPENING. I AM SUBMITTING IT NOW BECAUSE I REALIZE IF PEOPLE DON'T SPEAK UP, NOTHING WILL BE INVESTIGATED. WE NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE AND WE GAVE ALL THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO THE GAL WE SOLD IT TO. IT WAS REPAIRED BY PARK HONDA IN AKRON OHIO AND WE CAN ONLY ESTIMATE THE TIMEFRAME AND THE MILEAGE. IF NEEDED, I COULD TRY TO FIND OLD CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS THAT MIGHT NARROW IT DOWN.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SYSTEM AND THE STARTING OF IT. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO USE THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS THEY ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF WORKING ORDER. WE HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT IT WAS NOT A SAFE AUTO WITH SMALL CHILDREN.

THE POWER DOOR FELL OFF THE DRIVERS SIDE!

WE LIVE IN MINNEAPOLIS, WE DROVE THE CAR TO HOUSTON ON 5/112017. OUR CAR WAS IN A CRASH IT HIT THE FRONT CAR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DAMAGED IN THE FRONT AND HAS BEEN TOTALLED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY WIFE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT , THOUGH WAS WEARING THE SEAT BELT HIT IN FRONT AND HER CHEST HIT THE DASHBOARD AND CAUSED IMMEDIATE PAIN. GENERALLY INCIDENTS LIKE THIS THE AIRBAGS SHOULD BE DEPLOYED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THE CAR WAS RECALLED ONCE AND THE HONDA DEALER IN WHITE BEAR LAKE SAID THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED BUT STILL THEY DID NOT WORK.

PAINT ALL OVER THE HOOD, WINDOWS AND REAR TRUNK FLAKED OFF. COULD BLOCK OTHER DRIVERS VIEW IF IT LANDS ON THEIR WINDSHIELD. CAR LOOKS UNKEPT

HONDA ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE, SERVICE BULLETIN:08-031 " WARRANTY EXTENSION: PAINT PEELING ON DARK BLUE 2003-2005 ODYSSEYS". I AM ATTACHING THE SERVICE BULLETIN FOR YOUR REF. MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS AFFECTED AND ITS BLUE COLOR WAS PEELING OFF OF PLACES. ON FEB 24TH 2010, COLONIAL HONDA OF DARTMOUTH, MA REPAINTED THE AREAS OF CAR AS PER THE BULLETIN: WHICH WERE ROOF, HOOD, TOP HALF QUARTER PANELS, AND TOP HALF FENDERS. MY CONCERN WAS THAT HONDA CHOSE TO JUST PAINT THE FEW AREAS AND IF OTHER AREAS STARTS TO PEEL OFF AS WELL BUT I WAS TOLD BY COLONIAL DARTMOUTH DEALER THAT TO KEEP COST DOWN, HONDA IS ONLY WILLING TO RE-PAINT THE AFFECTED AREAS AND SHOULD ANY OTHER BE AFFECTED AT A LATER POINT, THOSE WILL BE DONE AT THAT POINT. WITH THAT SAID, I AGREED AND LET THE DEALER DO THE WORK. SOME TIME LATER I NOTICED THE...

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WAS TAPPED IN THE REAR BY A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, CREASING THE LIFT GATE AND SLIGHTLY PUNCTURING THE BUMPER COVER. JEFF'S BODY SHOP IN CHESTER MD IS THE REPAIR SHOP. UPON REMOVING THE REAR BUMPER COVER, THEY DISCOVERED THE STEEL FRAME TO BE SEVERELY RUSTED, WITH OVER HALF OF THE BOTTOM OF THE BEAM MISSING. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE STEEL FRAME MEMBER FROM THE ACCIDENT. HAD THIS BEEN A MORE SERIOUS COLLISION, THE BEAM COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY FAILED AT ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. THIS VAN WAS GARAGE KEPT FROM 2003-2010, WELL CARED FOR AND GENERALLY NOT DRIVEN WHEN IT SNOWED AND ROADS SALTED, AND IN TEMPERATE MARYLAND THE ENTIRE TIME. THE REPAIR SHOP WILL BE CUTTING OUT AND WELDING IN A NEW FRAME MEMBER. PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED PART ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. I'VE ALSO ASKED THE BODY SHOP...

WAS DRIVING MY WIFE AND 4 SMALL CHILDREN TO DECATUR,AL FROM HUNTSVILLE,AL TO THE RIVERWALK AND OUT OF NOWHERE STARTED FEELING A SMALL SHAKE AND THEN VERY NOTICEABLE FRIGHTENING FULL VEHICLE SHAKING WHICH STARTLED MY FAMILY AND FRIGHTENED MYSELF,I REALLY THOUGHT WE WERE ABOUT TO HAVE A WRECK. LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND IT STARTED TO NOT BE SO VIOLENT IN THE SHAKING,AND THEN ACCELERATED SLIGHTLY AGAIN AND THERE IT WAS AGAIN,AND I BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT UPON DOING SOME RECENT RESEARCH I SEE THAT IT IS EITHER FAILED REAR OR MOTOR MOUNTS OR EVEN THE TRANNY WHAT EVER THAT MEANS. BUT IF IT IS A FAILED DEFECT THEN THEY SHOULD ADDRESS THIS BECAUSE THIS IS DISTURBING AND UNSAFE TO ME,AND MY FAMILY NEVER MADE IT TO THE RIVERWALK. WHY DO WE PAY SO MUCH FOR A VEHICLE AND THEN CAN NOT...

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT. THEN VEHICLE SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING OR TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO ENGAGE FROM A STARTING MOVEMENT FORWARD LEAVING A STOP LIGHT. AT IDLE THE TACHOMETER STARTED TO REV BETWEEN 1100-2000 RPMS AT STANDING IDLE IN PARK.THE SLIDING DOORS GET JAMMED STUCK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN FROM THE DASH CONTROLS. I KNOW THESE COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET NY CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE VIA THE SLIDING POWER SIDE DOORS.VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 12-12-2014. *TR

TOLD BY HONDA ON 4/9/2014 AFTER I CALLED AND THEY SAID THE DARK BLUE BODY PAINT EXTENSION EXPIRE. THEY SAID I WAS MAILED A LETTER ABOUT THE PAINT IN 2008. DID NOT GET THIS. FOUND OUT ABOUT IN RECENTLY ON THE WEB. *TR

NOTICED PAINT PEELING ON ROOF IN CHUNKS FROM MY UPSTAIRS WINDOW. GOT ESTIMATES TO REPAINT THINKING IT WAS DUE TO AGE. BOTH VENDORS ASKED IF IT HAD BEEN HIT AND REPAIRED ASSUMING THAT WAS THE CAUSE. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER WITH IT NEVER BEING HIT WHICH CAUSED ME TO CHECK FOR RECALL I MAY HAVE MISSED AFTER IT BEING DIAGNOSED AS A PRIMER ISSUE. DEALER SAID THE REP TOLD THEM THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOW I'M TOLD THAT EVEN GETTING IT REPAINTED BEFORE IT RUSTS WILL WORK SINCE THE INITIAL PRIMER IS THE ISSUE AND NEW PAINT WON'T STICK ANY BETTER THAN THE OLD. DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO KEEP IT LOOKING LIKE A TRASH VAN.

I PARKED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY TO PICK UP MY 4 YR GRANDSON. I LEFT THE CAR, WITH KEYS IN HAND, BUT LEFT THE CAR DOOR OPEN. I TURNED MY BACK TO THE DOOR TO WALK AROUND THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS TOWARD THE STREET. I TURNED QUICKLY IN THE DIRECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL ATTEMPTING TO INSERT MY RIGHT LEG TO PRESS THE BRAKE. I HOPPED A FEW TIMES ON MY LEFT LEG, AS THE CAR DOOR WAS PUSHING ME BACKWARDS. UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE, THE FORCE OF THE CAR DOOR SLAMMED ME TO THE GROUND ON MY RIGHT BUTTOCK AND RIGHT SIDE. THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR SCRAPED OVER MY LEFT KNEE, LEAVING TWO GASHES AND BRUISED KNEE, SCRAPED UP OVER MY LEFT ARM AND SHOULDER, COMPRESSING MY SHOULDERS, CLAVICLE, CHEST CAVITY AND BASE OF SKULL (SHOULDER TO SHOULDER...
