Warped brake rotors. On this model Honda brakes are very bad, Honda wanted $1400 to replace and of course its their bad engineering that is the issue. It precisely is bad engineering on the rotor to warp so easily. Interior - Second row seating, middle seat cup holder rattling. Very annoying can't fix without replacing upper section of middle storable seat. Disc Rotors warp caused severe vibration during braking. New rotors beginning to show same early symptoms. What is it with Honda and poor brakes?

Reperformed bulletin 11-038 to lube front struts (steering making noise at parking lot speeds) Bluetooth connection for iPhone4 does not work sporadically. Dealer stated no recalls and other Hondas have issues w/ iPhone4 but not other iPhone models. The iPhone4 has no issues with many other vehicle bluetooths. Design deficiency.

Tailgate was rusting on the bottom edge. Repainted entire bottom half of tailgate and replaced bolts holding on trim (which were the cause of the corrosion per Honda notice). Creaking sound from steering at parking lot speeds. Duplicated with tech in the car. Determined the sound was coming from lightly pressing the brakes with the car rolling, not the strut or steering rack - so no repair needed.

Creaking noise supposedly from struts (per previous Honda TSB) returned - tech said Honda guidance said to grease steering rack; noise is gone now.

Front left axle leaking and making clicking noise. Replaced half shaft. Left rear shock absorber leaking fluid. Replaced part. TSB 16-108 Odyssey second row outer seat repair for slide function. Right side sliding door occasionally jams and makes popping sound when opening or closing. Service writer observed the problem. Tech claimed issue due to "debris" in base of door where rollers go and cleaned out "debris". Worked fine when picked up but problem still exists occasionally (just when using handle, as opposed to button).

Sliding door has been jamming occasionally for a while, getting worse over time. Tech discovered two problems - a bottlecap wedged behind one of the latches in the door frame, and chocolate melted around one of the door latches (these are on the bottom of the door). He removed the debris, lubed with white lithium grease, but there is still a little chocolate inside the latch so I will need to take a hair dryer to melt all the chocolate and restore full functionality.

The key blade fixed to the body of the remote broke off; repair requires new key body. Asked dealer to replace key under Honda TSB 13-100, as key broke exactly as detailed in TSB, using HondaCare extended warranty. HondaCare denied claim, saying the key was "mechanical failure", not electrical, which would have been covered by warranty. Despite the fact that the TSB specifically describes the failure as an engineering defect and the HondaCare terms do not exclude the key (the HondaCare rep asserted that "keys have never been covered under this warranty"). Honda customer service declined to cover the repair too. After arguing with HondaCare again about the specific terms in the warranty agreement, HondaCare covered most of the cost of the repair.

Alternator starting whining loudly. Within two short trips, battery charge light came on. Local shop would not source Denso (Honda OEM) and dealer wanted over $1000 for the replacement. Bought a Denso factory rebuild alt directly (not listed in rockauto catalog but is if you search the model number itself). Youtube to the rescue, did it myself in the driveway. Pretty tight to do it from above but doable.
