2011 Honda Odyssey Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SETS OFF AN ALARM (BATTERY CHARGE LOW) ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN NOV 2010”

“LOW BATTERY WARNING LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME WE GET INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES TO HAVE THEM FIX IT AND THEY TELL ME TO DRIVE IT MORE. I HAVE CHARGED THE BATTERY AT LEAST 5 TIMES MYSELF AND THE WARNING WILL ALWAYS RETURN”

“THE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FREQUENTLY GOES DEAD, LEAVING MY FAMILY STRANDED AND FEELING INSECURE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I SIT IN THE CAR, TURNED OFF, WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION (NO LIGHTS ON, NO RADIO, ETC.) THE BATTERY WILL DIE”

“WHEN BRAKING THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND THE BRAKES VIBRATE TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSAFE. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUAL PROBLEM. BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND WE ARE TOLD THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED”

“SIR / MADAM: I BOUGHT A 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING ELITE, IN DECEMBER, 2010. IT HAS A DEFECTIVE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES THE FRONT ROTORS TO WARP AND THE BRAKE PADS TO GLAZE OVER FROM OVERHEATING; CAUSING ALL THESE COMPONENTS TO PREMATURELY WARE OUT”

“PUTTING BRAKES ON AT HIGH SPEED, LIKE AT INTERSTATE SPEED, VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE, AND VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. WARP FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT, BUT HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE ABOUT 30,0000 MILES”

“THE CABLE ON BOTH AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS HAVE BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED BOTH TIMES. BOTH DOORS DO NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY NOW. THIS CAN CAUSE A HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WHERE SMALL CHILDREN (OR ADULTS) ARE IN THE BACK SEATS”

“TAIL GATE FALLS AFTER LIFTED, EITHER MANUALLY OR VIA POWER. STRUTS NOT HOLDING IN UP POSITION, RESULTING IN TAIL GATE CRASHING DOWN, POTENTIALLY WHILE BENT OVER INSIDE TO LOAD CARGO. *TR”

“WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE, FACING DOWN HILL, I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE MOTORIZED SLIDING DOOR TO ALLOW THE KIDS IN. THE DOOR OPENED HALF WAY. I HEARD A SNAP AND THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT”

“Severe rust and corrosion since 2015. Spreading across the whole roof line and visibly peeling paint. Not typical peeling paint, it appears to have originated beneath the trim or roof components, suggesting a possible failure of seem sealant, design drainage or factory primer”

“My 2011 Honda Odyssey's tailgate paint is peeling off and just found out they have a recall in the past and they extended the paint warranty to 7 days. The problem is we just found the paint problem last year and just found out they recalled and the warranty is expired”

“White paint is peeling off the roof in large sections. Massive adhesion failure”

“NOV OF 2016 TOOK MY 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SHUDDER BETWEEN 40-45 MPH. SERVICE TECH STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDS TO BE DRAINED PER HONDA PROCEDURE. FLUIDS WERE DRAINED AND SHUDDER STOPPED”

“TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES SHUDDERS TERRIBLY WHEN SHIFTING, DOES NOT KNOW WHEN TO SHIFT, SOMETIMES DELAYS WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. CURRENTLY HAS 44,000 MILES. *TR”

“AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO THE SECOND GEAR, THE ENTIRE CAR WILL SHUDDER. SAME THING HAPPENS OFTEN ON THE THIRD, FOURTH, AND FIFTH”

“The contact owns a 2011 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated when entering the vehicle and adjusting the front driver seat there was a loud abnormal clicking noise. In addition, the plastic coverage underneath the seat was unhinged and not connected to the seat”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED SUDDENLY AND THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT FLIPPED FORWARD WHILE IT WAS OCCUPIED BY HER CHILDREN. THE FAILURE RECURRED”

“THE LATCH TOWARDS THE FRONT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE (SINGLE SEAT ON THE THIRD ROW) ON THE VERY FAR RIGHT SIDE DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. THE SEAT FALLS BACKWARDS WHEN MY 8 YEAR OLD SON SITS ON IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT”

“The Honda Odyssey engine turns off while driving. My wife was driving with four children in the car and the engine died causing loss of power steering and brakes. This places all family members at serious risk of injury or death”

“REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS FOR 2ND TIME IN ABOUT 5000 MILES OR LESS, MANY ERROR CODES I CANT ERASE.BURNING OIL, HONDA SAYS IT NEEDS PISTON RING REPLACEMENT, BUT THEY SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I CALLED HONDA ANOTHER LOCATION THEY SAID THE DELIVERY DATE IS 12/3/2010, BUT THEY NEVER”

“MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAS "STALLED" ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN TO NEAR STOP AND THEN NEED TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE (IE, YOU ARE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT THAT THEN TURNS GREEN)”
