2015 Honda Odyssey Other Problems

Your Honda dealer refused to perform warranty service on your 2015 Odyssey because Honda's internal database incorrectly shows your vehicle as having a salvage title, even though your Minnesota DMV records confirm your title is clean. This prevented inspections and repairs to safety systems like brakes, electronic stability control, and adaptive cruise control. The issue may require Honda to correct their database records and verify your vehicle's actual title status so the dealer can resume normal warranty service.

Your automatic sliding doors won't open. This is preventing you from using a key feature of your minivan. You'll need to have the sliding door mechanism and electrical system inspected and repaired.

My two side doors do not close at times I have entered place of work and when I go to vehicle at lunch my side door is open. This has happened several times with coworkers closing my van sliding door I have stood there engaged sliding door and it just slides back through open. This is a safety as someone can climb into my vehicle while I’m away or my children can be hurt while closing doors. My doors red light on dashboard remains on for doors. My children have been in vehicle I close sliding door and the doors reopens my children constant statement doors opened again I get off slide them close and they reopen several times

The VCM system has failed and caused oil to seep past piston rings and gum/foul up spark plugs. This is a known issue by Honda but they won’t do anything about it.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY FLASHES APPEARED ACROSS THE SCREEN. THE ODOMETER REMAINED THE SAME. WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY.

WHEN USING THE PUSH BUTTON TO START MY CAR THE CAR RANDOMLY WON'T START. LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH BUT THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT IDENTIFY ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE CHILDREN AND HAVING A CAR THAT WON'T START RANDOMLY MAKES MY DAY REALLY STRESSFUL. I NEVER KNOW IF MY TRIP TO RUN ERRANDS, GET GROCERIES OR TO PICK UP MY KIDS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY MY CAR NOT STARTING. THIS CAR IS REALLY UNRELIABLE IN ITS CURRENT STATE. WHAT FRUSTRATES ME THE MOST IS HONDA HAD A RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM IN OLDER MODELS YET MY CAR MODEL AND YEAR HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED.

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED SUDDENLY AND MAKE CONTINOUS BEEPING SOUND EVENTHOUGH I DID NOT OPEN IT. CABLE WIRE CAME OFF AND NOW IT IS CLOSED AND DO NOT OPEN. CONTACTED HONDA BUT AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AS 41,000 MILES. I SAW ON TV THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS CREATED SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLE.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. THE GLASS REMAINED INTACT HOWEVER IT SHATTERED. THE GLASS WAS RAISED AND THERE WERE NO FOREIGN OBJECTS THAT EVER CAME INTO CONTACT. THERE WERE NO TEMPERATURE CHANGES. IT JUST SHATTERED AFTER A LOUD BOOM SOMETHING SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, WITHOUT PROVOCATION, OUR MOONROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BALLOON EXPLODING IN OUR EARS. IT SHATTERED INTO TINY PIECES AND WE QUICKLY PULLED THE SUNSHADE BEFORE THE GLASS COULD CRASH INTO THE CAR. WE WERE GOING 72 MILES AN HOUR, THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE AROUND US AND WE WERE NOT GOING UNDER ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE DROPPED DEBRIS ON THE CAR.

ON AUGUST 20, 2017, DRIVING ON I-77 NORTH TOWARDS CHARLOTTE, NC HEARD A POP AND EXPLOSION ON TOP OF OUR VAN OUTSIDE STATESVILLE, NC. PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED OUR SUNROOF/MOONROOF WAS SHATTERED. FORTUNATELY, THE INTERIOR COVER WAS CLOSED AND DID NOT HAVE ANY GLASS FALL ON US. THAT DAY WE CONTACTED OUR CAR INSURANCE COMPANY, USAA, AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AT ABRA AUTO BODY & GLASS - INDEPENDENCE, 2033 MARGARET WALLACE ROAD, MATTHEWS, NC 28105. THE ADJUSTER, JON WULF, COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENED AND THAT THERE WAS NO ROCK FOUND WHEN THEY REPAIRED THE SUNROOF. THIS PAST WEEKEND MY WIFE, LINDA, HEARD A NEWS REPORT ON "EXPLODING SUNROOFS," AND I FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE INTERNET. I AM REPORTING OUR INCIDENT SO THAT OTHERS MAY NEVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR ON AN INTERSTATE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED BY FLYING GLASS AND COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID IT WILL TAKE A DEATH BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO PROTECT AMERICAN DRIVERS. I DO HAVE THE AUTO BODY REPORT AS PROOF THIS HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE SUNROOF EXPLODED INTO PIECES. FORTUNATELY, OUR VISOR WAS CLOSED.

PUSH START WOULD NOT START THE ENGINE, NOR TURN ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AFTER JUGGLING THE WHEEL, AND THE SHIFT LEVER & BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR STARTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER STATES THE COMPUTER HAS NO IN THE DTCS SYSTEM.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WITH NO SIGNS OF ANY EXTERNAL IMPACT. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME. CHECKED FOR DEBRIS AND NOTHING FOUND. IN FACT, IT LOOKS AS IF THE FORCE CAME FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE AS THE HOLE EXTRUDED FROM THE CAR ITSELF.

WAS DRIVING ~70MPH ON FREEWAY NEAR ORLANDO, FL. HEARD A STRANGE LOUD NOISE AND GLASS BREAKING, THEN LOT OF ROAD NOISE. UPON STOPPING TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED, REALIZED SUNROOF GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT - IT APPEARED TO BE BOWED UP/OUTWARD. LUCKILY THE INNER COVER WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS ENTERED THE VEHICLE. DID NOT HEAR ANY IMPACT NOISE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SCRATCHES, DENTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF ANY IMPACT AROUND SUNROOF WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A FAULT OF SOME KIND [IN GLASS OR OTHERWISE]. THE SUNROOF SITS ALMOST FLAT AND THE PROBABILITY OF IT BEING STRUCK BY ANYTHING MUST BE EXTREMELY SMALL. IF BY SOME MIRACLE IT IS ACTUALLY STRUCK BY SOMETHING, WOULD HAVE TO BE ONLY A GLANCING IMPACT AND I BELIEVE SHOULD NOT SHATTER AND DISINTEGRATE LIKE IT DID. SEEING AS THERE ARE ALREADY OTHER 3 REPORTS OF SIMILAR OCCURRENCES ALREADY REGISTERED WITH NHTSA SPECIFICALLY FOR 2015 MODEL, PLUS A COUPLE OF OTHER REPORTS MENTIONED IN FORUMS ONLINE, I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT AS A CONSEQUENCE. MY CONCERN IS HONDA DEALER IMMEDIATELY DECIDED IT WAS EXTERNAL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INSURANCE CLAIM. IF THIS IS STANDARD PRACTICE, IT COULD MEAN OTHER OCCURRENCES OF THIS HAPPENING MIGHT NOT BE GETTING REPORTED TO AMERICAN HONDA AND SO THEY ARE UNAWARE OF A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING 65 M/H WHEN I HEAR A "SMALL EXPLOSION", WASN'T SURE WHERE THE NOISE CAME FROM. AFTER THAT I SEE SOME SOLID MATERIAL FLYING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK. I PARKED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND WHEN I LOOK ON TOP OF THE ROOF I SAW THE MOONROOF BROKE AND NOTICED THE HOLE WAS COMING FROM BOTTOM UP. THERE WERE NOT OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITY OF ROAD DEBRIS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD MAKE ME THINK THAT THIS WAS AN INCIDENT OTHER THAN FACTORY ISSUE (PRESSURIZATION) I'M ALMOST 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THE ATTENTION I GOT FROM HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN MORGAN HILL IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE COVER IN PLACE TO PROTECT ME TO GET GLASS ON ME!. I FOUND SIMILAR CASES REPORTED TO THE NHTSA FOR THE SAME CAR AND MODEL. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKING SERIOUSLY BY AMERICAN HONDA.

SUNROOF SHATTERED OUTWARD, NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITY OF ROAD DEBRIS CAUSING THE INCIDENT. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE 65 DEGREES.

WE EMBARKED ON AN 8806 MILE, 22 DAY ROAD TRIP THROUGH THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST TO THE MIDWEST WITH OUR NEW 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. DRIVING WAS DONE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS AS HIGH AS THEY COULD BE SET. ALL WINDOWS ARE TINTED. 21 OF THE DAYS WERE BRIGHT AND SUNNY. WE COULD NOT SEE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY ON BRIGHT DAYS. NEITHER THE SPEEDOMETER OR THE TACHOMETER WERE READABLE. MY WIFE MONITORED OUR SPEED WITH A GARMIN GPS. THIS CLUSTER HAS WHITE NUMERALS AND A PALE GREY BACKGROUND. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH MAKES OPERATION UNSAFE ON BRIGHT DAYS.
