All of a sudden electrical problems. The battery started dying. Took it to deal and took him a lot of time to find issue, the fixed it. It's still draining, and they spent more time investigating, then found another part that is draining. Then they said there is still 100 amps draining. I told them to stop because it was getting expensive. I am really disappointed in Honda. A month ago, I had to fix a leak in the transmission fluids. Before that there was a leak in the steering wheel fluids. And for the last 2 years I did not drive it much. It is a lemon.

Also, every now and then the D (drive light) starts blinking and the check engine light comes on. Then it goes away a couple days later. Took it to dealer and they could not find what is wrong with it!!!

Either the dealer is really bad and their mechanics sucks, or they are screwing me...

Not sure what is going on with this crappy Honda...

Honda gives the Odyssey minivan crappy relays. These things go out all the time. There are three of them. They are relatively easy to replace and troubleshoot. The worst is a dead battery in the AM and possible AC system damage because it leaves the system on even when it's technically off.

There is an upgraded relay available at Autozone. After researching the AC relay has died several times under 100k miles to many owners. Honda should use better components. The upgraded relay is about $20 bucks versus $8.00. That's cheap to deal with and won't have the wife ripping you a new one over being broken down or not able to get the kids from school.

My first battery went bad after about 25000 miles which was covered by warranty. Then, the replacement battery from Honda died at 50000 miles. Despite the fact that the battery says HONDA 100 months warranty, i was told i have to pay for my 2nd one. It seems that the problem is not with the battery. Some components must be draining the battery...

Shortly after we changed the battery, A/C started to act funny...got some electric smell from the car...now the engine light came on, then VSA light. I have a feeling that something went wrong electronically when 2nd battery made a loud noise when parked with the engine on. I checked the battery and positive side metal had a crack btwn the metal and the plastic.

Since November 5th, our 2007 Honda Odyssey has an electrical problem that the manufacturer can't seem to identify. The problem drains the van's battery when dormant for an extended period of time (9+ hours). None of this happened until after the engine suddenly had an unusual crack pop noise (like a live electrical wire touching metal) while the van was idling one morning in the rain. Upon hearing the noise, I drove the van straight to the closest Honda dealer for diagnosis. I explained the symptoms to the dealer and they ran a diagnostic test for a $50 fee. After an hour they indicated that they couldn't find anything wrong with the van.

That night, the van started sluggishly and the door indicator light indicated the driver side passenger door was open. I tried pushing the button to close it but it didn't respond so I got out and forced the door closed manually. I ran my errand and returned without turning off the van. I parked the van at home and the next day the battery was completely dead.

I had the van towed to Honda "as is" who tested the vehicle and replaced the battery. Our van now has been towed 3 times from our home for the same problem...a completely dead battery. Our Honda dealer replaced the battery each time proclaiming that was the cause and now, after having the van towed again we are infuriated because we no longer have a "RELIABLE VAN".

We've owned our van for 3 1/2 years now and love it for all of its conveniences; however, we have experienced the 'dead van' syndrome repeatedly for the last two months and most recently on Christmas.

It's time for Honda to stand up and take responsibility for the electrical mishap, fix the recalls, and truly resolve our issue. It's sad because we bought our Honda to have a reliable car. Right now our van is far from it.

HONDA FIX YOUR PROBLEMS!!!

I'm quite annoyed really. I wanted a Honda cause its supposed to be a great running - long lasting vehicle. Bought brand new off the lot to avoid issues.... yet, here I am. I too have had a battery die under warranty. Not even a year later and I have an ever dying battery. As I drive and reach about 40 mph the car goes into convulsions... shakes and the rpm's go crazy. The dumb thing is -that I have already taken it into the dealership to check it out. Any one have any thoughts? Oh... to add to the fury I wanted to check on any recalls. Turns out that there is some brake issue for this year and make. Just in case any one else see's this owning the same vehicle.
