I AM GETTING A THUD SOUND FROM THE BACK OF MY 2007 ODYSSEY MINI VAN. WE CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE COME IN WITH THIS. THEY FOUND THAT THERE IS A GLAZING THAT HAPPENS WITH THE BRAKES AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO GRIND THE DRUMS AND IT MAKES IT GO AWAY FOR AWHILE. THEY SAID IF THE BRAKE SHOES ARE OK IT WOULD RUN ABOUT $200.00. THIS IS CRAZY IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OTHER THAN WEAR AND TEAR THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. I HAVE PUT TWO SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS VAN SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKES GO SO FAST. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A VERY POOR DESIGN. IF I HAD NOT BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT 1000 OF DOLLARS WITH ALL THE PROBLEM THIS 2007 HONDA HAS HAD. IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. THE WINDSHIELD WHISTLES, THE TRANSMISSION PART HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE COMPRESSOR MELTED, THE BATTERY WENT DEAD ON A TRIP BEFORE A YEAR WAS UP. THE BEARINGS IN THE WHEELS WENT BAD. THE AXLE WENT BAD. THE RIGHT REAR DOOR MOTOR WENT BAD. THE LEFT REAR DOOR WILL OPEN PART WAY AND SHUT. ALL IN ALL HONDA HAS GONE DOWN HILL. $37,000 AND ITS A PIECE OF JUNK. THANK GOD OTHER THAN THE BRAKES THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY VERY GOOD AND HAS FIXED EVERYTHING AT LEAST ONCE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. IN 2005, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THREE YEARS LATER, SHE NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT HER TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WOULD COST $5,400 TO REPAIR. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY ASSUME FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR $1,675 WORTH OF REPAIR COSTS. THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT STATE WHAT CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,000.
