| My 05 odyssey's lights in the odometer were flashing on and off. sometimes, they just flash. sometimes, they flash and all the gauge, speed, rpm, temp, and fuel dropped briefly before they go back up again. when they were doing that (dropped) the vehicle did not jerk. a couple of months ago the engine light came on, but a few days later it disappeared. then it came on again. i used an obd ii reader to read it and it gave me a code about the ecm/pcm module. i bought and replaced both relays but to this day (3/21/11) the flashing is still not resolved. today everything flashes and it seems like all the electronics in the vehicle (including all the gauges) were down for about two seconds while the car was on the freeway going about 65-70 mph. | |||

| The vehicle engine is shutting off with no warning. there have been approximately 6 instances of the vehicle being operated and then the engine will cut off. the first incident occurred in a parking lot when in reverse. there have been 3 incidents at low speed, while making turns, and 2 incidents while traveling at speed (one at 40 mph and one at 70 mph). the vehicle has been taken to the dealer on 3 occasions but the dealer has been unable or unwilling to address the issue because there are no codes sent to the on-board computer. the most recent incident on 3/6/2011 was while traveling at 70 mph on the interstate highway. we referred the service writer to nhtsa campaign id numbers 05v132000 and 07v097000 but he was unwilling to consider that our issue was related to either of these previously noted failures. | |||

| While making a hard right hand turn, van had a complete loss of power. engine, lights, power steering and power brakes all died instantly. managed to stop the van without hitting anything, but if someone had been coming the other way, no way an accident wouldn't have happened. put car in park, turned key and it restarted and drove fine. called dealer and took it in for them to look at it. there were approx. 10 error codes recorded. they kept van for four hours, ended up saying it was a dead battery and they replaced it and sent me on my way. they said paperwork has to be sent through warranty and will send me a copy when it comes back. explanation doesn't fit situation. *nm | |||

| My 2005 honda odyssey has stalled twice while driving. 1st episode was jan 2005(~1030mi). as i was turning right,went over a curb. car suddenly stopped running. everything in car went out as if someone pulled an electrical plug. i turned key to off & was able to immediately restart.brought car to fischer honda,ypsilanti,mi.service dept said that they found nothing wrong.i thought they called tech support. i continued to drive car because they couldn't find a problem. 2nd incident occurred sept 13,2005(~7665mi).as was turning left from turn lane,car stalled in on-coming traffic,causing a near-accident.put car in park,turned key to off,&restarted car immediately.brought car to howard cooper honda service,ann arbor,mi next morning.i filed case # &complaint w/american honda motor co. cust. service. honda svc. dealer called saying found nothing wrong&that i needed to pick up car.we argued that needed further exploration of this safety issue,not just for us but potentially other odyssey owners. we were particularly concerned when our internet search found nhtsa recall id#05v132000.we mentioned this recall but svc dealer said our vin didn't fall within recall range& that it definitely couldn't be our fuse box.we asked if they tested our fuse box directly.they said they couldn't. finally,honda dealer provided rental car while they drove car for a week(~270 miles)checking for stall.they changed on board computers data capture to record for stall.they called honda tech support who stated they had never heard of stall complaint.they said couldn't fix my car since they found nothing wrong.we've called amer. honda motor co. cust. svc. many times without avail. despite saying they'd contact honda dealer,they never coordinated a resolution. we don't feel they've considered the potentially deadly consequences of driving car that stalls suddenly while being driven. we're told to call immediately if stalls again. we're afraid to drive. the next stall could result in serious casualty. *nm | |||

| I purchased a new 2005 honda odyssey ex-l in december 2004, and i have experienced multiple incidents in which the brakes make a very loud grinding noise with medium hard braking. the grinding has not resulted in any apparent loss of braking ability or loss of control however this is a concern to me since i drive with a 5 year old in my care. i took the odyssey to the service center in may o5 for this issue and they replaced the brake pads and resurfaced the rotors. again this month (july) i noticed the problem again, i took it in two days ago and honda refuses to fix the problem saying that i have to wait until september to have the issue resolved. they tell us that they won't have the parts in until then. i feel that they are avoiding the fixing the problem as to avoid the lemon law since this is their second time fixing this problem. i have brought the vehicle in for several other issues before this such as broken cd player....slow draining of battery, and problems with dvd and vehicle interior. overall i am very concererned when my car is having problems with the brakes and this company refuses to fix the problem.....i am scared to drive this vehicle but do not have the money for a rental until september. | |||

| Wireless headphones operate intermittently when on audio source, e.g., cd is playing on the front channels and the dvd is selected for the rear channels. failure occurs approximately 30-90 mins after the split source is selected. while this may not seem like a major issue for a vehicle, we have a special needs child that uses the dvd to remain calm and, the system is extremely limited in its currently defective condition, preventing us from a number of activities. honda acknowledges the issue, but has no resolve at present. they expect approximately 50% failure rate to this issue according to their techline. | |||

| This car hasn't worked since we first got it on the lot. all the problems have been electrical. first problem noted was the right passenger door not opening when the button was pressed. it would open about 1/4 inch and then start beeping. it then is stuck and the only way to open it is to manually pull the door open. similar problem on the left side, but when it happens on the left passenger door, the whole electrical system freezes up - can't open or shut the door, can't lock/unlock doors. must shut car down and re-start. spare tire came loose and cause loud rattling in back left part of car. six weeks after purchase, went on trip. returned to airport & car was dead. got a jump. next day noticed that back-up beepers/sensors not working. at one point, a trouble light on the dash lit up for no reason & didn't go out for a few weeks. just tried out the cruise control a few weeks ago - it doesn't work. this car is a lemon. | |||

| Hello - i have a 2005 odyssey that might have and others might have potential safety issues. a while back i found a loose bolt in the drivers side sliding door and another bolt that was not tightened at the factory. i am concerned that this represents a serious quality control breakdown. while my problem was addressed, since then i have had numerous other issues and in the process of filing a lemon law complaint as a result of repeated attempts to fix my vehicle. my concern is also that my dealership told me they have found six other vehicles with loose bolts in the car. if someone is in a position to do this, what else would this person potentially have done to this vehicle and others. this makes me wonder if someone at the factory was doing this as a joke or if there are other potential safety issues related to this finding. in addition to this, i have had multiple problems with the dvd/navigation system and the rear camera often stays on while moving forward. this is quite a distraction to the driver. i have been working these issues with honda customer care for the last 5 weeks with no progress. also, this vehicle has been in five times to have this looked at. i continue to have problems with this vehicle. while it was in having the dvd/nav problem looked and the rear view mirror fixed (fell off while driving down the interstate), three additional recalls were found. also, the rear view mirror could not be fixed and the windshield was replaced. had to bring it back in the following day since it was not installed correctly (had wind noise). this issue was fixed. i am now on vacation and the windshield washers stopped working. the problems that continue to mount up on this vehicle make me question its overall safety and road worthiness. *jb | |||
