    Other body problem

    "When we have heavy rain, water comes down from the ceiling above the seatbelt for the drivers-side sliding door. It appears to be from the luggage rack on the roof."

    Anonymous, (2010 Honda Odyssey EX-L 3.5-L V6)

    "It would seem that the manufacturing process forgot to use a protective agent inside the panels of the car resulting in advance degradation of the frame. I noticed this when I tried to jack the car when trying to replace my tires. When I started to use the jack, the frame bucked and the jack started to get trough the frame. I was told several years ago (about 5 to 6 years) by a Honda repair shop representative that my car was finished and I should try to get rid of it because of the rusting of the interior parts of my Odyssey. I didnt listen but after 14 years of use in Canada, the age of the car is starting to show."

    Anonymous A., QC (2010 Honda Odyssey EX 3.5-L V6)

    "Ac is not cold"

    "The air conditioner was not putting out cool air anymore. This required an expensive replacement of many parts of the heating/cooling system, including the a/c compressor & condenser, and later the control motor. The van has been so reliable, we felt it was worth the money to fix."

    Anonymous, CA (2010 Honda Odyssey EX-L 3.5-L V6)

    Loose exterior trim or moldings

    Anonymous A., OK (2010 Honda Odyssey Touring 3.5-L V6)
    Paint (fading, chalking, cracking, or peeling)

    "About two years ago the paint began to peel off in large spots. I mentioned it to a friend, who said there had been a recall on Honda paint. I took it to a dealer who had it examined by a body shop and they said the van did not qualify for repair. An estimate for having this vehicle painted was several thousand then, and would probably be more expensive now. As a retired widow on a very limited fixed income, I cannot afford the expense."

    Anonymous, (2010 Honda Odyssey EX-L 3.5-L V6)

    "This problem began in late March 2024. The passenger side sliding door was found opening and closing at will. We had the car assessed and were told the latch on the drivers side sliding door was worn and needed to be replaced as that was causing the problem. We ordered the part and had the latch replaced ($1500). This did not fix the problem. The drivers side sliding door will now not open or close it just puts out an alarm signal. We have been told by the dealership that it is an electrical problem and we will need to have further diagnostic work done to find the problem. At this point it remains a unresolved."

    Other steering/suspension problem

    "When I was driving, smoke started pouring out from under the hood. I was a block from home, so I went home, then had the car towed to a service station because I was afraid to drive it.

The garage fixed the problem by replacing the steering gear (tie rod, rack & pinion assembly, power steering pressure hose)."

    What should you do:
    Delphi has begun notifying dealers and distributors, and will replace the fuel pump modules, free of charge. Owners may contact Delphi customer service at 1-877-411-8770. Delphi's number for this recall is GL14-004.
