2009 Honda Odyssey Electrical System

my drivers side door started making a grinding noise and when we attempted to close the door it it fell off the track, it almost closed my child in the door, now there is significant body damage and my door is not working

FRONT PASSENGER DOORS DOESN'T OPEN FROM INSIDE OF THE CAR UNLESS UNLOCK/LOCK/UNLOCK IS PRESSED FROM DRIVER SIDE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FROM 2010. TALKED TO DEALER BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR INVESTIGATION. THEY SAID IT HAS TO BE FAIL AND REMAINED FAILURE FOR THEM TO SEE AND INVESTIGATE.

ALL WINDOWS EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WITH ENGINE ON OR OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR MOVING. TRIED THE CHILD SAFETY BUTTON, BUT STILL A PROBLEM. YOU CAN HEAR THEM CLICK, BUT THE MOTORS WILL NOT ENGAGE. IT APPEARS THERE IS A FAULTY MASTER SWITCH. OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C3836_DS530625

TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR EMISSIONS CHECK LIGHT. DIAGNOSED AS "NOX SENSOR WIRING HARNESS CHEWED BY MOUSE" PER HONDA DEALERSHIP. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF RODENT DAMAGE OR PRESENCE ELSEWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DID NOT PROVIDE ME THE PICTURES OR THE DAMAGED PART SAYING THAT IT WAS THROWN IN THE TRASH. THE WIRING WAS APPARENTLY COVERED BY HONDA RODENT DETERRENT TAPE. I HAVE CONTACTED ACURA/HONDA DEALERSHIPS, THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALSO THE RESPECTIVE ACURA/HONDA MANUFACTURER CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY OTHER CAR (ACURA MDX 2009) WITHIN A SPAN OF ONE WEEK WITH EXACTLY SIMILAR PRESENTATION. WHEN I REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM THE ABOVE SOURCES, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CUSTOMERS AND THAT IS IT IS A RARE EVENT AND NOT RELATED TO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND ALSO THERE WAS NO DEFINITIVE TREND IN ACURA/HONDA(SAME COMPANY) NOX SENSOR WIRING HARNESS BEING CHEWED BY RODENTS AND HAVE REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM TO WHICH I HAVE SUBSCRIBED/PURCHASED. I HAVE ANOTHER ENTRY REGARDING THE OTHER VEHICLE AT THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE. *TR

WHEN USING THE VAN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE CITY STREETS. WHILE RAINING AND AFTER IT HAS RAINED, THE VAN THE BATTERY LIGHT HAS TURNED ON THE HAS VAN TURNED OFF. I HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TWICE TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME IT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING. I TOOK IT ON SEPTEMBER 2014 AND AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2014. WHILE USING THE VAN IN THE RAIN I HAVE COME TO A STOP SIGN TO TURN AND GOING IN TO TRAFFIC THE VAN IT TURNS OFF . THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS LAST WEEK ON NOV. 25 2014. BECAUSE OF THIS I AM SCARED OF USING THE VAN WHEN IT RAINS. MY WIFE IS ALWAYS USING THE VAN WITH ARE GRANDCHILDREN. *TR

WE OWNED A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY . THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL FOR YEARS AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 120K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE WERE PLANNING TO USE THIS VEHICLE FOR A LONG TIME. LAST TIME I HAD ANY WORK DONE ON THIS CAR WAS IN 12/31/13 AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. IT WAS A MAJOR SERVICE. WE DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE EVENT THAT LED TO THE FIRE ON THE VEHICLE. AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER ODYSSEY ON I-280/CA-85, SHE STATED THAT ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS/GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. AT THE SAME TIME SHE REALIZED THAT CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN SHE INSTINCTIVELY LOOKED AT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD, IT WAS NORMAL (ABOUT HALFWAY UP) DUE TO THIS SYMPTOM, SHE WAS FORCED TO PARK THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AT THIS POINT, MY WIFE ORDERED BOTH OF MY KIDS IN THE CAR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON THE HIGHWAY. SHE DID EXIT THE VEHICLE AS WELL. AS THE SMOKE FROM THE CAR CHANGED FROM WHITE TO BLACK, SHE CALLED 911. AS SHE WAITED FOR THE FIRE ENGINE TO ARRIVE (WHICH ACCORDING TO HER TOOK 10 MINUTES), WHOLE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FIRE FROM BUMPER TO BUMPER. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE SCENE, THERE WERE POLICE CARS AND FIRE TRUCKS. TWO LANES ON CA-85 WAS CLOSED. MY WIFE AND MY KIDS WERE IN SHOCK AND WERE CRYING. I TOOK MY WIFE AND KIDS HOME AFTERWARDS. WE LOST PERSONAL ITEMS THAT WERE LEFT IN THE CAR SUCH AS GLASSES, JACKETS, AND OTHER ITEMS. SANTA CLARA COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL BE OPENING UP A CASE. I CAN NOT STOP TO THINK ABOUT WHAT IS THE REASON WHY THIS FIRE OCCURRED ON THE VEHICLE. WE DID NOT HAVE ANY INDICATION THAT THIS WOULD OCCUR EXCEPT FOR THE LAST MINUTE DASHBOARD INDICATION. CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT/SERVICED AT HONDA, WE ARE BEGINNING TO LOSE FAITH ON HONDA VEHICLE/SERVICE IN GENERAL. *TR

BATTERY WENT DEAD AT IDLE WITH AC ON. WHILE STARTING HE ENGINE, A ABNORMAL SOUND WAS MAKE BY WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER AND THE AC FREON LEAKED OUT, DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. AFTER SHUT DOWN, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TURNING THE KEY HALFWAY, THE CONTACT SUDDENLY HEARD A SPUTTERING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. APPROXIMATELY A FEW WEEKS THE LATER, THE FAILURE WORSENED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,797. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CONTROL RELAY ON MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY FAILED LESS THAN 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE, CAUSING INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT WOULD PREVENT THE CAR FROM STARTING. WHEN THE CAR'S IGNITION SWITCH IS PLACED IN THE "ACCESSORY I" POSITION, ONLY THE AUDIO SYSTEM AND ACCESSORY POWER SOCKETS SHOULD BE ENGAGED AND ABLE TO OPERATE. MY A/C CONTROL RELAY FAILED IN THE CLOSED POSITION, CAUSING THE A/C COMPRESSOR IN MY CAR TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY, EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE ACCESSORY I POSITION. THE END RESULT WAS WHENEVER I LEFT THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION FOR MORE THEN A COUPLE MINUTES, THE RUNNING A/C COMPRESSOR WOULD VERY QUICKLY DRAIN THE BATTERY, LEAVING THE CAR UNABLE TO START. PLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION FOR A MATTER OF MINUTES SHOULD NOT RESULT IN A PERSON BEING STRANDED !!! THE PART NUMBER FOR THE A/C COMPRESSOR RELAY ON MY 2009 ODYSSEY IS OMRON G8HL-H71. HONDA'S CORRESPONDING PART NUMBER IS FOR THIS RELAY IS 39794-SDA-A03. *TR
