2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints and Recall Information
The 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY has 8 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues with stalling during driving, unexpected hard braking linked to the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) warning light, and rear window explosions. Problems with multiple air conditioner replacements also appear in the complaints.
Common Issues- Vehicle stalling. Multiple owners report stalling while driving between 45 and 65 MPH, accompanied by VSA and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning lights illuminating. Diagnostics indicated failures in battery voltage, brake sensors, Engine Control Module (ECM), and Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
- Unexpected hard braking. Owners state that the vehicle brakes suddenly and hard at around 70 MPH without driver input, with the VSA warning light turning on. The issue is reported as recurring and not always linked to recall coverage.
- Rear window explosions. Rear cargo and rear driver’s side windows have been reported to explode and shatter both when parked and at low speeds.
- Air conditioner failure. Owners report repeated air conditioner replacements, up to four times, due to ongoing failure.
There are 5 recalls affecting this vehicle involving the braking system, electrical system software, and fuel delivery components. These recalls address safety-related defects in brakes, unintended braking from VSA software, and risks of fuel leaks or fuel pump malfunctions.
Recalls- Brake master cylinder seal. (NHTSA Campaign Number 10V504000) Affects 471,820 vehicles. Brake fluid lacking specific polymers can dry and damage seals, causing brake fluid leaks into the brake booster. This leak may change brake pedal feel and degrade braking performance, increasing crash risk. Repair includes free seal replacement by dealers.
- VSA modulator air intrusion. (NHTSA Campaign Number 10V098000) Affects 412,000 vehicles. Air can enter the VSA pump during engine start-up, causing a soft or low brake pedal that affects braking performance. Dealers will remove air and apply sealant free of charge.
- VSA unintended braking. (NHTSA Campaign Number 13V500000) Affects 344,187 vehicles. Software and system components cause unexpected hard braking without brake light activation, increasing rear crash risk. Interim measures were provided before parts became available for repair.
- Fuel pump module replacement. (NHTSA Campaign Number 14E049000) Affects 280 vehicles. Replacement fuel pumps may cause incorrect fuel gauge readings, resulting in the vehicle running out of fuel and stalling. Fuel pump modules are replaced free of charge.
- Fuel pump strainer cover deterioration. (NHTSA Campaign Number 14V112000) Affects 886,815 vehicles. Deterioration of the fuel pump strainer cover may lead to fuel leaks, increasing fire risk. An interim repair and eventual full parts replacement were made available free of charge.
Owners facing recurring mechanical and safety defects or unresolved recall repairs may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting with a legal professional can assist in evaluating these issues.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ODYSSEY AND ACURA RL VEHICLES. BRAKE FLUID CONTAINING POLYMERS IS USED THAT ACTS AS A LUBRICANT FOR CERTAIN BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IF REPLACEMENT BRAKE FLUID IS USED THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN SUCH POLYMERS, OR THAT CONTAINS ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS, A PART OF THE RUBBER SEAL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY BECOME DRY, AND THE SEAL MAY CURL DURING MOVEMENT OF THE PISTON. IF THIS OCCURS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID COULD SLOWLY LEAK FROM THE SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
Risk: A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND OVERTIME A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
HONDA HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 AND 2008 ODYSSEY AND ELEMENT PASSENGER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 28, 2006 AND AUGUST 21, 2008. AIR CAN ENTER THE VSA MODULAR PUMP DURING AN INITIAL SELF-CHECK PROCESS THAT OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER EACH TIME THE ENGINE IS STARTED. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ENOUGH AIR TO ENTER THE SYSTEM TO RESULT IN A BRAKE PEDAL THAT FEELS SOFT OR LOWER TO THE FLOOR.
Risk: IF THE OWNER DOES NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS OR YEARS, THE SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE ENOUGH AIR TO AFFECT BRAKING PERFORMANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
