| 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 have on my license. *tr | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 occuring. 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. | |||

| 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 bullentin on 11/12/08, they claimed it is a electrical problem and b-can dtc after exposure to the water leaks. the service bullentin 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 dont think it is fair because: 1) i park my van in my garage 2) my van is 4 yrs old and is only 37k young, 3) i live is a relatively dry climate, in ca for these reasons, my car is indoor 95% and spends 98% of its time in dry climate. i believe this issue is a defect and does cause a serious safety issue because it impacts turning signals. another reason why i think it is unfair is the day i got my car back after it was in the shop for 5 days, it was working when i picked it up and then by the time i got home, it wasnt working. i think there is something else wrong and i dont think they have identify a root cause. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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 | |||

| Re: honda case number : n012006-12-2800187 i have 2006 honda odyssey minivan with 7000 miles on it. the van didn't start and even i couldn't pull my key out from the ignition. i had to tow the local honda dealer on 12/22/06. after 6 days of investigation, the dealer reported to me that they found the cable was eaten by rodents. the repair cost will be $1300 since the warranty doesn't cover the cable damaged by the rodents. i am living in this house for 6 years,and i never had this kind of problem with other vehicles so far. i think this is the honda vehicles defect. they need to place the recall for this issue. even if i repair the vehicles, i am worried to paying another $1300 if the rodent or other animal decide to come back again. could you investigate this issue to avoid second victims? my house is not surrounded by woods or anything. *nm | |||

| Apparently the master control switch in the driver's door experienced a loose connection. this prevented the windows from operating, i exited the vehicle while it was running to use an atm machine, since the window would not operate and the doors locked, trapping my 2 year old inside. | |||
