2006 HONDA ODYSSEY Electrical System Problems

Electrical issues

The back doors start to open and close alone, then they did not open. I had to disconnect the electric doors .And the A/C It turns on by itself

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE FRONT THE HOUSE AND ITS JUST CAUGHT FIRE WE CALLED THE EMERGENCY AND THE FIRE TRUCK THE MAKE REPORT BUT THE POLICE DIDN'T MAKE ANY REPORT

DOOR STOPPED WORKING LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE... NOW THE DOOR FELL OFF. CAR WAS PARKED. COULD'VE BEEN DRIVING THOUGH. VERY DANGEROUS. READ MANY MANY MANY (HUNDREDS) OF PEOPLES POSTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THEIR HONDA ODYSSEY'S. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

THE SLIDING DOORS, POP OPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD , WHEN DONE DRIVING THE VECHILE I HAVE TO UNHOOK MY BATTERY BECAUSE THE DOORS DRAW POWER AND WILL KILL MY BATTERY, THE AUTOMATIC DOORS DO NOT OPEN YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN THEM UP

POWER TRAN FAILED. MISSING FIRE 3 SPARK PLUGS REAR SIDE ENGINE.

VEHICLE WITH DRIVER ONLY WAS TRAVELING WEST ON I80 A COUPLE OF MILES BEFORE THE SF OAK BAY BRIDGE IN THE FAR LEFT LANE GOING APPROX 60 MILES PER HOUR (5 MPH BELOW POSTED LIMIT) IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. CAR IN ADJACENT RIGHT LANE DARTED INTO THE LEFT LANE IN FRONT OF ME TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME. I HIT THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY AND THE ABS ENGAGED BUT SINCE THE CAR TRYING TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT, IMACT OCCURED AT A SPEED LESS THAN 60 MPH. CAR BEHIND ME SLAMMED INTO MY BACK END. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT WHICH I BELEIVE HELPED SAVE MY LIFE BUT INJURIES DID OCCUR. I SUSTAINED SERIOUS HEAD (CONCUSSION), NECK (MUSCLE STRAIN) AND BACK (SPINAL NERVE DAMAGE). HEAD AND NECK INJURIES APPEAR TO HAVE RESOLVED...

GRINDING, CRUNCHING NOISE COMING OUT OF THE DASH BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. CONSTANT NOISE, NO MATTER THE SPEED OR CIRCUMSTANCE. *TR

MVA OCCURRED 1/16/2015 - IMPACT LEFT FRONT QUARTER. HAD TROUBLE OPENING DRIVER'S DOOR. STEERING COLUMN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY RESULTING IN HEAD TRAUMA AS DRIVER'S HEAD HIT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. IMPACT SHOULD HAVE SET OFF SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG SENSORS. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED & SOLD BY INSURANCE COMPANY WITHOUT DEALER INSPECTION OF PROBLEM. I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT IT HAD IT NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY ARTICLE ABOUT RECENT HONDA AIRBAG RECALLS. I BELIEVE THAT THESE INCIDENTS ARE UNDER REPORTED AND THAT THERE ARE MORE "FAILURE TO DEPLOY" THAN THOSE LISTED UNDER COMPLAINTS. PLEASE CONTACT FOR POLICE REPORT....UPDATED 02/11/15 *BF

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WENT UP IN FLAME, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ON 10/11/14. INSURANCE HAD ME TOW IT TO THE HONDA DEALER. AFTER HONDA HAVING THE CAR FOR 31 DAYS THE INSURANCE PAID THE REPAIRS & I PAID MY $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I'M READY TO DRIVE MY HONDA ODYSSEY AWAY ON 11/13/14, AND I NOTICE THE VAN BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE RPM'S DROPPED TO ALMOST 0. NO REPORT WAS GIVEN TO ME ABOUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH VAN & WHAT FUTURE REPAIRS HAD TO BE DONE. ALL I GOT WAS THE PRESENT REPAIRS DUE TO THE FIRE, EVEN AFTER WE HAD ASKED THEM TO DO A FULL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE FIRE THE VAN NEVER SHOOK, IT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. WHILE THERE, THEY PERFORMED THE CHANGING OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED BY HONDA, BUT NOW WE CAN NOT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SLIDING DOORS FAILED TO CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE SLIDING DOORS WERE REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE SPECIFICS OF THE PARTS REPLACED WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

POWER WINDOWS STOP WORKING EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY BECAME STUCK, BUT IT FINALLY TURNED IN THE SWITCH AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 11/21/14 *CN UPDATED 12/02/14*JB

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, WHEN THE BATTERY DASHBOARD INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WITHIN 20 MINUTES THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BEGAN TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY. REPLACING THE BATTERY DID NOT ELIMINATE THE BATTERY INDICATOR AND THE VEHICLE DIED AGAIN ON MY WAY HOME AGAIN DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED A SERVICE STATION WHERE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE BOTH TESTED AND FOUND TO WORK PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PARASITIC DRAIN. IT DOES NOT SEEM REASONABLE FOR A VEHICLE WITH A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING ALTERNATOR TO LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND DIE WITH IN OPERATION AND INDICATES A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

EXPERIENCING VIBRATION IN VEHICLE DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 40-60 MPH. TOOK THE VAN TO MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT TWO MOTORS MOUNTS ARE BAD AND NEED REPLACING. THESE ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR ITEMS AND SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY VANS AND THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING COVERED BY WARRANTY SINCE THE FAILURE OCCURS AROUND 100K TO 150K MILES. *TR

POWER TAILGATE OPENED AND CAME RIGHT DOWN HITTING MY WIFE. SHE WAS NOT HURT. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE HONDA WE WERE TOLD THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT WOULD MAKE THE TAILGATE GO BACK UP IF IT CAME DOWN ON A PERSON OR OBJECT. WHICH IS WHAT IT HAS DONE IN THE PAST. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER HONDA OF SUMNER AT 7:30 AM ON 8/12/2013 TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. WE TOOK IT INTO TODAY AND A GUY ( NOT A SERVICE GUY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.) I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS TO BE A TAILGATE STRUT PROBLEM WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A RECALL ON 2008-2009 MODELS. ACTION NUMBER EA08-015. *TR

MY CAR'S STARTER BROKE AND THE MECHANIC THEN TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS IN THE FRONT AND REAR WERE BROKEN AND NEEDED REPLACING. IN DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND NAGGING PROBLEM WITH ODYSSEY OWNERS. I HAVE OWNED 6 CARS AND NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING! THANKFULLY THE PROBLEM IS BEING FIXED BEFORE IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IS THERE A RECALL OR PLANNED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED 2,000 MILES AGO. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER FOR 15 SECONDS BEFORE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY IN WET CONDITIONS INCLUDING FAILURE OF WINDOW WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, DOOR LOCKS, AND REAR SLIDING DOORS. AS DESCRIBED IN HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 08-078 THIS IS A RESULT OF A DEFECT IN THE TRIM PANEL THAT EXPOSES ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR C701 BEHIND THE LEFT REAR SIDE TRIM PANEL TO MOISTURE. *TR

BASED ON A REPORT TODAY THAT HONDA IS RECALLING 2003/2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WHERE THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE IGNITION INTERLOCK, A DEVICE INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE KEY CAN ONLY BE REMOVED WHEN A VEHICLE IS FIRMLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AND HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE IN 2010 WHERE AFTER PARKING AND REMOVING MY KEYS AND I GOT DOWN, THE VAN MOVED BACKWARDS AND THE MY FRONT DOOR HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE PARKING LOT DAMAGING BOTH CARS, AND I HAD TO FILE A CLAIM WITH UNITRIN DIRECT. THE RESULT BEING I HAVE A FAULT ACCIDENT RECORD ON MY LICENSE AND MY INSURANCE WENT UP FOR NO FAULT OF MINE. I THINK HONDA SHOULD RECALL EVEN THE 2006 MODEL AND PAY ME BACK FROM MY REPAIRS AND EXTRA INSURANCE PAYMENTS THAT I HAVE PAID AND WORK WITH DMV/UNITRIN TO REMOVE THE FAULT ACCIDENT RECORD THAT I...

ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE ABS MODULATOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE HORN FAILED TO SOUND UPON ENGAGING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOUR TIMES FOR THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

IN NOVEMBER 2005 I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL. WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW (IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER POWER WINDOWS) OFTEN TIMES DID NOT CLOSE WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE IT. THE WORST TIMES ARE WHEN IT RAINS OR THE TEMPERATURE IS COLD. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THE WINDOW REPAIRED. THEY ATTEMPTED THE REPAIRS BUT WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE POWER WINDOW. I TRIED MANY JIFFY LUBE AND LIQUID WRENCH TO LUBRICATE THE WINDOW PER THE DEALER'S RECOMMENDATION BUT THE RESULT HAS BEEN ONLY TEMPORARY AND THE WINDOW CONTINUES TO STAY DOWN WHEN IT SHOULD BE CLOSING. *TR

BRAND NEW REPLACED BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL START ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN. SOMETIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD, THEN WAIT 10 MINUTE AND EVERYTHING WORKS (THO ALL THE CODE RESET AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED). THIS IS WHAT CAUSED US TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AFTER DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE. IT WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT PROBLEM IS BACK. DEALER CAN'T REPLICATE ISSUE SINCE OF COURSE IT STARTS FINE. BUT THERE IS SOME INHERENT ISSUE WITH ODYSSEY ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

RECENTLY I HAVE FELT A "SHUDDERING" AT SPEEDS BELOW 40MPH. I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP FOR THAT PROBLEM AS WELL AS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MY POWER SLIDING DOORS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY DOORS. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR IN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR(WHICH WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY AT THE TIME). AND NOW I AM LOOKING AT REPLACING POWER DOOR CENTER ROLLERS IN BOTH POWER SLIDING DOORS AT AN ESTIMATED $560.00 (AND NO LONGER HAVE WARRANTY). SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN A HASSLE WITH THE POWER SLIDING DOORS. THEY CLOSED HALF WAY ON MY CHILDREN GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR ALL THE TIME. AND DON'T WORK THE OTHER HALF OF THE TIME. THE ISSUE WITH THE "SHUDDERING" IS DUE TO FRONT AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED...

SUDDEN ACCELERATION. MOTOR BEGAN RACING AT A STOP SIGN, AT FIRST THOUGHT THAT MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES HAD FAILED AS IT LURCHED FORWARD. WAS ABLE TO PUT NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF ENGINE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, AND WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY SLOW RESPONSE. THE REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED TWICE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 10V504000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE, AND THE REAR LICENSE PLATE LIGHT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY FOR THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 12/19/11 *CN

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD TWO DOG CRATES IN THE BACK OF THE MINIVAN WITH DOGS IN THEM. THE DOORS HAD BEEN LOCKED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE OCCURRING. ONCE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIED, I HAD NO WAY TO OPEN THE TAILGATE IN ORDER TO GET THE DOGS OUT OF THE CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE EMERGENCY RELEASE BECAUSE IT WAS BLOCKED BY THE DOG CRATES. THERE IS NO OUTSIDE KEY ACCESS FOR THE TAILGATE NOR A MANUAL RELEASE IN THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT. *TR

DRIVER WAS SWITCHING LANE ON A FREEWAY. THE SIGNAL DID NOT WORK. ON THE SAME DAY, THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER SLIDING DOOR AND KEYLESS ENTRY DID NOT WORK TOO. AFTER TAKING IT TO HONDA, ACCORDING TO THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN ON 11/12/08, THEY CLAIMED IT IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND B-CAN DTC AFTER EXPOSURE TO THE WATER LEAKS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN CLAIMED WATER ENTER WHERE THE CONNECTOR C701 BEHIND THE LEFT REAR SIDE TRIM PANEL. THE CORRECTION ACTION IS SEAL THE PWR SLIDING DOOR PULLEY MOUNT, REPOSITION THE FOAM BLOCK, DRY CONNECTOR C701, AND APPLY DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE CONNECTOR. IF THE ISSUE OCCURS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY, A GOODWILL CONSIDERATION WOULD BE OFFER BUT NEEDS TO BE REQUESTED. I END UP PAYING HALF WHICH I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR BECAUSE: 1) I PARK MY VAN IN MY GARAGE 2) MY VAN IS 4 YRS OLD AND IS...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED OUT OF THE GARAGE ALTHOUGH THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO TWO TREES AND SUFFERED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH; THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 92,000.

I WAS CLEANING MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WHEN I NOTICED AFTER LIFTING UP THE HOOD OF THE MINIVAN THAT THE GROUNDING STRAP FROM THE ENGINE CHASSIS WAS NOT ATTACHED TO A NON-PAINTED SURFACE ON THE CHASSIS. THE SURFACE THAT THE STRAP WAS ATTACHED TO WAS PAINTED THE SAME COLOR AS THE MINIVAN. I TOOK OUT MY OHMMETER AND MEASURED ABOUT 100 AND 200 MILLIOHMS FROM LUG TO CHASSIS AT TWO DIFFERENT POINTS. THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED BY ELECTRICAL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND E3 STANDARDS. THIS FLAW COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND E3 ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

MY WIFE LEFT WORK AND DROVE HOME, APPROXIMATELY 2MILES, AND ADVISED SHE SMELLED/SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISE THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. LOCAL FIRE INSPECTOR INVESTIGATED AND ADVISE THE SOURCE OF IGNITION WAS IN THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN THE AREA OF THE REAR A/C UNIT AND PBC. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY RESPONDED THAT "IF YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY DOES NOT SUBROGATE, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO." THE RECENT SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE WAS AN OIL CHANGE AND NEW TIRES APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH PRIOR. *TR

THE REAR HEADPHONE SYSTEM (BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS HEADPHONES) DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE DVD SYSTEM IS IN OPERATION. THE HEADPHONES WORK FOR CD AND RADIO FUNCTIONS, BUT NOT THE DVD. THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN PRIMARILY WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR. WHEN I GET IN THE BACK TO CHECK OUT THE SYSTEM WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK, IT WORKS FINE. WHEN WE'VE STARTED DRIVING, IT STOPS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS. *TR

LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ALTENATOR DUE TO BELT SLIPPING WHEN DRIVING ON RAIN COVERED ROADS. THIS AUTO ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER WOULD BLOW, BUT THE AIR WAS NOT COLD. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE AIR CONDENSER. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 20,000.
