Passenger sliding door was dead.

General Comments:

I heard about pulling fuse #13 and thought yeah right, this would fix a $350 estimated problem I had with the junction switch. To my surprise, pulling the fuse and waiting 30 seconds has fixed my problem.

My props to the person who realized this fix. It save me $350.

Thanks.

Starting one year after I purchased this vehicle the middle row seat belts have failed to retract 6 times resulting in a seat belt replacement 5 times and repair 1 time. The problem has occurred 3 times on each belt in the middle row. The most recent 4 problems have occurred within the last 1 year and 20,000 miles.

The transmission went at 85,000 miles and was replaced under warranty.

General Comments:

While the belts have all been under warranty the dealer cannot explain why this continues to happen. Since my vehicle seems to be the only one this continually happens to, Honda America customer service has been completely unresponsive. I am not at all comfortable with my children (or anyone else) riding in this row of seats any longer for fear the retractor would fail in an accident.

Front drivers side door doesn't stay open.

Clock light out.

Sliding door problems come and go, never had it come open when driving.

Door seals coming out in places.

General Comments:

I have been very satisfied with our 2000 Honda Odyssey, except a few problems. My main concern now is the fact that the drivers front door won't stay open. I have had many times on flat surfaces that the door has closed on my leg, foot, or slammed into my elbow. It was a concern in the beginning that it closed so easily, but it has even gotten worse. My brother has the same year/model and he has the same problem. I'm surprised that they haven't been sued for this problem. It hurts when it shuts on me and I know to try to avoid it. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Faults:

Well, I have to say that it is # 13 (the magic fuse) for the sliding doors on the odyssey. My passenger door just went dead 2 months ago and I have trying fix it, but as usual the cost $85 for diagnostic check and then rest of the other repair cost, until I came across this web page and comments by everyone. Yes, there should be a recall on the Odyssey, but as usual it is not going to happen. Anyway, I started the vehicle and then pulled the #12 & #13 fuse on the passenger side and WALAAAHHHHH it worked. I would like to thank everyone for their help. It does work to date the same old # 13.

Check engine light on intermittently since about 65,000 miles. Replaced catalytic converter at 91,000 miles. Check engine light came on again about three weeks later. Appears to be problem with ERG valve.

General Comments:

Dealer repair costs for new catalytic were $935. Honda offered an extended warranty on the ERG valve for 8 years or 80,000 miles. However, since our Odyssey now has 91,000 miles, we may now have another $300 plus repair bill to replace the ERG valve. Are there design problems with the Honda Odyssey's emissions system?
