5FNRL3H76AB0442172010 HONDA OdysseyEX (with leather)

I am reporting a recurring and dangerous brake system failure in my 2010 Honda Odyssey. Intermittently, when the vehicle is first started, the brake pedal becomes completely stiff and cannot be depressed at all. During these events, the brakes are effectively non-functional until the condition resolves, creating a serious safety hazard. This issue occurs without warning and has happened on multiple occasions. This defect is especially dangerous because it prevents normal braking operation at startup, increasing the risk of a collision if the vehicle is moved or if immediate braking is required. I have attempted to repair this issue extensively. The vehicle has been inspected by three separate repair facilities, including a Honda dealership. The following components have been replaced in an effort to resolve the problem: •Master cylinder •Brake booster •Rotors •Brake lines •ABS system Despite these repairs, the issue persists unchanged. I have spent over $2,500 attempting to fix what appears to be a systemic defect. The Honda dealership suggested the issue may be caused by air entering the brake lines when the vehicle is parked on a slope. However, this explanation is not consistent with normal automotive function, and similar vehicles do not exhibit this behavior under the same conditions. Given the repeated failure of major brake system components to resolve the issue, I believe this represents a defect in the vehicle’s braking system that could affect other vehicles of the same model. I am submitting this complaint due to the serious safety risk posed by intermittent loss of braking function and request that this issue be investigated.

A few months ago, the battery went dead. I purchased a new battery and it went dead also. I had the mechanic check it and he said that some Honda Odyssey's had that problem (usually 2011). Even if everything is turned off, the battery will die in less than two days if the van is not driven. This has led to the van being inoperable in various locations requiring a locksmith to come open the car so the hood can be opened so the the battery can be recharged. The mechanic spent a few hours and was able to pinpoint the "faulty" fuse(Driver's side, #7, 7.5A, "backup"), but said that there were 13 different subsystems associated with that fuse and that it would take many hours to isolate and test each individual subsystem which would cost many thousands of dollars--more than the car is considered to be worth. So he recommended that I just either drive it every day or pull the fuse at night. In addition to the battery going dead, one of the problems, is that I don't feel safe to lock the car because I know I won't be able to unlock it if the battery dies.

A few years ago the driver's side rear sliding door stopped working. This seemed like a safety because, if there were ever an incident such as a fire, people would not be able to expeditiously exit the back two rows of the van. There were no warnings, the door just stopped working. I spoke with our mechanic about it and he stated that he had seen that with several Honda Odyssey vans. I had the door repaired. I recently learned that this had been an issue with other Honda Odyssey vans and wanted to let you know it had also happened to me.

When having to slow down or stop quickly, the van starts to jerk back and forth and shake a lot and the car becomes very difficult to control. This is especially noticeable when going down hills such as I-70 in Colorado, I-15 in eastern California or mountain passes in the Sierra Nevadas, but also when coming around a corner on a freeway and the traffic is stopped. It would be very serious if driving and a child ran out into the street in front of the van. I recently learned that this has happened fairly frequently with Honda Odyssey vans. I have had to replace brake and strut parts and bearings multiple times. (gratefully the struts were still under warranty, so I only had to pay for labor the ensuing times.)

The driver's side & passanger side rear sliding doors develop a parasitic battery drain which forces owners to remove the fuse associated with the doors. Those doors are very difficult to open when not powered. This essentially traps children in the back seats. Honda knows about this issue with all the odyssey models and they have not issued a recall.

The fuel pump as been failing and caused issues

See attached document for complaint.

For the second time in less than 4 months my rear window has exploded into thousands of pieces. The broken bits explode everywhere. First time was 1.15.25. Second time was 5.3.25.I was parked both times. I had other windows/doors either cracked or open. Both times was during 20mph winds.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving or parked, there was a strong fuel odor coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump and the fuel tank needed to be replaced due to a leak in the fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 66,000.

The incidents of sudden acceleration while braking on this model are vast. My van has experienced several sudden un-commanded acceleration incidents while braking starting in 2022. Honda lawyers are in control and thus no technical explanation. My last event was on [XXX] post hurricane Helene in Asheville N.C. The response of the NHTSA is needed due to people of modest means need to keep their car as long as possible. This requires honest service information from Honda. Honda has reaped a well deserved dividend cultivating the belief that their product with careful use can last 20 years or more. Honda does not deserve to reap this benefit while failing to execute an honest service which creates an unsafe vehicle. In 2023 the Throttle Position Sensor and its complete assembly was replaced in hope of a resolution. I will now replace the Engine Control CPU after the [XXX] incident. These repairs and expense are un-diagnosed non-OBD supported “shots in the dark” because Honda will not recognize the failure.

It started with the alarm turning on randomly. DRL not turning off and battery got drained.

Honda service bulletin [XXX] I recently discovered after doing some research on why my 2010 Odyssey is showing cylinder1 misfire code. I replaced the injectors, swapped coil packs, etc. Still cylinder1 misfire issue. Now I find out that Honda is aware of this issue and related to VCM and some rings on piston(s) aligning. Fortunately for Honda, the 8 years unlimited miles is most likely out of a window where statistically the issue will be seen. That is my case. Sept 25, 2021 is when this first started, and has continued to be an issue. I never received notice from Honda since this is a used van. Anyway, I would like some assistance in rectifying this issue for our family van. My local Honda dealer is not even remotely interested in repairing the issue based on [XXX] because of the 8 year extended warranty is no longer applicable. I need help from Honda NA. If you know there is an issue with ring alignment, extending this for 8 years doesn't seem like you are capturing the majority of the problems; most likely a calculated risk... My Odyssey didn't show the issue until 11 years after the 2010 manufacturing date... fortunate for Honda. I need help from Honda on this, even to meet me 1/2 way to cover repair costs. This seems unacceptable to me that an issue as serious as this, known by Honda, and won't be addressed. Please help.

Passenger side sliding door jammed halfway open and would not close or open. Had to have the car towed to the mechanic and have all components of sliding door replaced (twice!). Driver's side strut spring broke under normal use - with 62000 miles on the vehicle. Now rear backup camera/GPS/radio unit has ceased working at all. Passenger side door also randomly begins to close part way through opening, nearly injuring my child's friend who was exiting the vehicle.

Yesterday(7/9/23) when trying to open and close our back sliding door on the drivers side it was making a louder grinding sound and was difficult to open/shut. No warning lights. Today when pushing the button to open the door it started to open and then fell off the frame on the top and mid rail. Only connected by the bottom rail. It appears that the mid rail/ slider is the part that failed causing the door to come off its hinges. It also caused large deep scratches to the body of the car. This is a serious safety concern. The door is heavy and could have hurt someone. We are very lucky that my kids were still strapped safely in their car seats. We strapped the door to the car in an open position and have not gotten it inspected yet. Upon researching I have now seen hundreds of reports of this same thing happening to others.

The contact owned a 2010 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH the vehicle began to vibrate and there was an odor of burning coming from the rear. The contact stated that she saw a "red glow" coming from the rear seat. The contact pulled the vehicle over and stopped, as the contact exited the vehicle it burst into flames. The contact stated that she did not notice any warning lights. The contact stated that the police and fire department arrived on the scene. The contact stated that water and chemicals were used by the fire department to extinguish the fire. The police wrote a report and the vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The contact stated that her insurance provider had declared the vehicle a total loss. The contact related the fire to recent recall work that had been performed for NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V112000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 145,623.

Power sliding doors stopped working. No access to middle row seats due to having no manual opening features. In an emergency, I would be unable to remove my children from their seats. This should be recalled immediately before someone becomes trapped in this car.

Van sliding door fell off when trying to close the door.

The driver side passenger sliding automatic door stopped working. When opening it manually I started hearing a little grinding noise and it was hard to open. I opened the door to put my daughter in and the door fell off to the ground.

DEATH TRAP Front windows open and close by themselves while driving - dangerous for kids and pets in car Sliding doors on both sides do not work properly - do not latch - passenger door doesn't slide open or closed Door locks unresponsive - last week only driver's door and tail gate would unlock and open

I opened the sliding door for my 5 yr old grandson, and while he was getting in the sliding door Opened and shut while he was getting in an almost closed him in by squeezed him alil I had to push the button instantly to open back up.an it happened when we was at the zoo also it Opened half way an was closing on its own

Hello yes this has been happening since May2022,,sometimes my sliding door will open then shut while someone is trying to get in,or it won't shut it will close the Open right back up while driving or sitting, so several times either my children or my grandmother was getting in after I opened the sliding door, an all of a sudden it almost smashed my 3 yr old she jumped in so fast it almost caught her leg, an the same thing with my grandmother, she was getting in an it shut without me closing it,an 1 day we was on the highway and the driver side opened automatically I had to pull over to the side of highway and it wouldn't shut after 10 tries, I had to actually grab the handle an pull it shut. An I asked a dealership about this and he said numerous of people have been complaining about this problem with Honda vans.

the air bag light is on and the tire pressure sensor on.

We had driven less than half a mile, and we’re sitting in traffic to turn when all of the warning lights came on and the van shut off. We restarted the car and the same thing happened. Then there was a popping noise and smoke began coming from under the hood. Within 2 minutes the van caught on fire. The entire engine compartment burned, as did the windshield and part of the dashboard.

My car self-combusted and caught fire while parked in my driveway. The fire started in the hood of the car and continued for 30 minutes or so despite my best efforts to put out with my hose. The fire department had to come to put out the fire. The car was parked for 90 minutes from last usage and no one was in the car. The temperature outside was around 80 degrees. This is potentially a huge safety risk for Odyssey owners. The car had 124k miles on it and had done the full 120k maintenance service at Honda dealer (Honda of Kirkland). The car was serviced per regular maintenance schedule by the Honda dealer. Hard to believe a car will go up in flames on my driveway like that. See pictures. Fire department was from Eastside Fire Station 33. Captain Kurt McGowan. Fire witnessed by many of my neighbors who also tried to help me put out the fire before fire truck came.

On 6/12/2022, minutes after exiting 45 miles of highway driving, I parked the car. Less than 90 seconds after parking, the left front tire experienced an explosive loss of air pressure. An approx 2" x 1-1/2" piece of the sidewall near the tread was missing, and the reinforcing belt inside the tire was torn. It was the inside (engine side) sidewall. There was no apparent damage from any road hazard that could have contributed to the failure. Could not find the missing sidewall section. The General Altimax 235/65R16 103T tires were purchased new on 6/1/2022 with 200,583 miles on the vehicle. Failure occurred at 217,525 miles. The tire was replaced by the original seller (Belle Tire, New Hudson, MI), who now have the tire. They also inspected for previous damage and found none. Availability for inspection unknown. Belle Tire reps indicate that this is a very unusual failure and will be reporting to manufacturer. No other entities have inspected the failed tire. No warnings/symptoms present prior to the explosion. The DOT number on the failed tire is 6546 WBMH. It is notable that the other 3 identical tires on the vehicle have four additional digits (e.g. 6546 WMBH 0421) following the letter code, which Belle Tire said was the manufacture date of the tire. (0421 would be the 4th week of 2021). The failed tire lacked this information. Obviously, my wife and I were very lucky that this failure did not occur while driving on the highway as it almost certainly would have resulted in a loss of control at high speed.

My back passenger door thr sliding one came off the hinge. Door completely came out as I was opening it to drop my.kids off to.school. Now my kids are afraid to sit near that door. Quotes that I am receiving are insane on the price. Any recalls?

The Honda Odyssey I own has paint coming out from the roof and tail. Looking around on the road, I saw many other white Honda Odyssey with similar problems. When doing a search on the web, I saw the recall notice for Honda Odyssey 2011-12. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10161239-0001.pdf My Honda Odyssey is a 2010 model but with same color and similar problems with exterior paint. This would result in corrosion and ultimately the safety of the vehicle. I am attaching the pictures of my vehicle. I did contact Honda and they advised me to get the vehicle inspected at their service center. I am scheduled to visit them for diagnosis soon, but wanted to share what I found as there recall with 2011-12 is something that clearly extends to other years model as well.

My 2010 Honda odyssey is accelerating while breaking. Both times I am trying to slow down and stop at red traffic light, and both times, it initially slowed down but accelerated all of sudden. I had to shift to P before it finally stopped.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal odor of fuel detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.

The drivers side sliding door fell off upon opening. Honda says they are not liable for this issue yet I have found over 5,000 complaints in various fourms concerning this issue. My children were almost injured and something needs to be done about this issue please.

THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR (MANUAL DOOR, NOT POWER) WAS MAKING A GRINDING SOUND WHEN OPENING AND THEN IT FELL OFF THE CAR. I WAS OPENING THE DOOR TO GET MY CHILD OUT, THANKFULLY, WE WERE AT HOME.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY LX, . TWO OF THE TPMS TRANSMITTERS ARE NOW LEAKING AROUND THE STEM, CAUSING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. IS THERE A RECALL OF THESE TRANSMITTERS? THE INFORMATION ON THE TRANSMITTERS FROM ONE THAT WAS REPLACED IS: TRW 42753-SHJ-A820-M1 315 MHZ 217652-110 >PPA-GF33< 8D06923A 2399T IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT A DEVICE MEANT TO WARN OF A HAZARD IS ACTUALLY CAUSING A HAZARD, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ARE FORCED TO HAVE THESE DEVICES ON OUR CARS.

2010 ODYSSEY W/ ABOUT 159K MILES. ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, BUT HONDA IS SAYING IT EXPIRED, AND I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR COST COVERAGE, AND THE REPAIRS ONLY HAVE A 50% CHANCE OF FIXING THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2016, AND THEY SAY THE RECALL EXPIRED AFTER MAKE YEAR. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK AND IT LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT EXHAUST. AND THE BELT SNAPPED AND IT HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE EARLY FEBRUARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT. AFTER PARKING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A FIRE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED.

RADIATOR FAN RUNNING AND ALARM GOING OFF WITHOUT KEY IN IGNITION. REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW GOING DOWN ON IT'S OWN WHEN CAR IS ON. TO GET WINDOW UP I HAVE TO OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR AND ROLL WINDOW UP AND LOCK IT FOR IT TO STAY UP. HAVE TO KEEP DRIVER'S SEATBELT ON ALL THE TIME TO PREVENT ALARM TO GO OFF. WENT DEALER AND THEY CHARGE A LOT OF MONEY AND COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM AND NEEDED MORE TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT IN WHICH I WOULD BE BILLED A WHOLE LOT MORE. I REFUSED TO PAY MORE . VERY FRUSTRATED AND FED UP WITH THE PROBLEMS ON THIS CAR.

GAS TANK IS LEAKING WHEN TANK IS FULL OF GAS FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED

THE CAR IS CURRENTLY REGISTERING INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER AND MULTIPLE RANDOM CYLINDER MISFIRES. WHEN STARTING- THE ENGINE WILL VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEN WILL EVEN OUT AND RUN NORMALLY. AT IDLE, THE ENGINE WILL EXPERIENCE MILDLY EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS AND HAVE REPLACED COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. ONE REPAIR SHOP MENTIONED A VALVE TIMING CONTROL CODE ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN OFFICIAL DEALER FOR THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY THIS CODE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT A VALVE ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED. I THEN RETRIEVED THE CAR AND HAD AN ALTERNATE DEALER FOR THE MANUFACTURER DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS SECOND DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO INDICATED THAT A VALVE ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED. THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR A FEW DAYS THEN BEGAN REAND AN GULAR MODERATE TO HEAVY VIBRATION, THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF THEN EVENTUALLY STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO HAD DONE THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT AND THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE CAR ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR THAT BOTH HEAD GASKETS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THIS MANUFACTURER RELATED TO VALVE TIMING CONTROL PROBLEMS LEADING TO CYLINDER MISFIRES AND ENGINE FAILURE WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED AS A RESULT. I CALLED THE NATIONAL CORPORATE OFFICES AND INQUIRED IF THIS WARRANTY APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RELATED TO THE ISSUES I HAD DESCRIBED BUT THAT THE VIN FOR MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED AMONG THE WARRANTED VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD MY ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO SEE IF THE NHSTA COULD REQUIRE THE MANUFACTURER TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY FOR REPAIR AS THE WARRANTY RESULTED FROM A LAWSUIT RELATED TO A KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE CAR.

HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE AUTOMATIC FEATURE NOT BEING ABLE TO FULLY CLOSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. TODAY, I TRIED TO OPEN IT BUT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS MAKING GRINDING NOISE AND ONLY OPENING 1/3 OF THE WAY ON THE AUTOMATIC SETTING. I DISENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR FUNCTION AND OPENED IT MANUALLY. SLID OPEN NO PROBLEM. I REENGAGED THE AUTO SETTING WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE THE DOOR. IT STARTED TO SLIDE CLOSE AND A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF WAY, IT FELL AT ME, COMING COMPLETELY OFF THE CAR OTHER THAN A SMALL GUIDE WIRE IN THE CENTER. I CAN NOT GET IT BACK INTO PLACE AND AM LOOKING INTO GETTING IT TOWED TO BE REPAIRED. WHEN THE CENTER ROLLER CAME OFF THE TRACK IT LEFT GIGANTIC GASHES IN THE PAINT/METAL ON THE SIDE OF THE VAN.

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED WHILE BRAKING. ACCELERATION CONTINUED AFTER VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES IN A SPAN OF 30 MINUTES. FOOT WAS NOT ON ACCELERATOR. DRIVEN BY ADULT MALE.

VAN WILL START PERIODICALLY. BUT THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD & HAS BEEN JUMPED OFF WITH JUMP BOX & OTHER VEHICLES ASSIST. BUT BATTERY IS NEW, TERMINALS CLEANED. VAN WILL NOT EVEN MAKE A CLICKING SOUND. I FEEL THAT THERE IS EVIDENCE OF FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, STARTER RELAY OR PARKED/NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH & MAYBE MORE DEPENDING ON CHASSIS ELECTRICAL. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO STATIONARY UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING.THIS HAPPENS TO BE MY WIFE'S VEHICLE... NEED THIS FIXED ASAP..

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, DRIVER PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE REGAINED POWER, IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING. I RUSHED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS MISFIRING AND THEY HAD TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE, REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY ALSO INFORMED THAT THE PISTON RINGS WERE LEAKING AND SOME OF THE ENGINE OIL WAS BURNT, I ALSO HEARD THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE THAT OTHERS HAD FACED, A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAD BEEN FILED WHERE HONDA HAD PROVIDED A WARRANTY EXTENSION AND NOT A RECALL, SO THE ISSUE WILL HAVE TO BE HANDLED BY ME. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND HONDA WAS NOT READY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

THE SIDE DOORS FELL OFF THE TRACK. BOTH OF THEM WITHIN DAYS. ONE WHEN OPENING IT AND THE OTHER DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. I'M JUST GLAD IT DIDNT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THAT SERIOUSLY COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE. I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP AND FOUND IT IS VERY COMMON ON THESE VAN'S AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS HAPPEN. ONE DOOR IS NOW HELD ON WITH A STRAP AND THE OTHER ONE WE GOT CLOSED AND BACK ON BUT WE CANNOT OPEN THEM. MY KIDS HAVE TO CLIMB OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO GET TO THEIR SEATS. I AM VERY WORRIED THEY WILL FLY OFF DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LIKE I'VE READ OTHERS HAVE. THE SIDE OF MY VAN IS ALL SCRATCHED UP FROM THEM FALLING OFF TOO.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON RURAL PAVED HIGHWAY, OUR 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN APPLIED MODERATE BRAKING (WITH ZERO DRIVER INPUT) TO THE LEFT-FRONT WHEEL TWICE WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO OF EACH OTHER. THIS BRAKING CAUSED THE VAN TO PULL MODERATELY TO THE LEFT AND NEARLY CROSS THE HIGHWAY CENTERLINE. THE VSA LIGHT ICON (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) FLASHED ON THE DASH DURING THIS EVENT. THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNNY, DRY DAY WITH TEMPERATURE AROUND 70F. VAN WAS TRAVELING ON A PERFECTLY STRAIGHT SECTION OF HIGHWAY. NO TRACTION ISSUES WHATSOEVER.

ENGINE LOST POWER ALL OF SUDDEN WHEN EXITING HIGHWAY, BARELY GOING UP ON A SLIGHT UPHILL.

TRANSMISSION HAS MOTOR LOCK UP ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER AND TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR, BOTH ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION NEED REPLACING FREE OF CHARGE HAD IT TOW HOME, WHERE IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR WEEKS, THEY SAID ITS UNDER RECALL, HOW CAN I GET IT THERE IF THE MOTOR LOCK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO LOCK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIANCHI HONDA (LOCATED AT 8430 PEACH ST, ERIE, PA 16509,(814) 868-9678) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED IN JULY OF 2019. ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2019, WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR, THE CONTACT REACHED INSIDE THE SLIDING DOOR AS IT STARTED TO CLOSE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED LEFT RIB AND INJURIES TO THE UPPER RIGHT BACK AND SHOULDER. THERE WAS ALSO PAIN ON THE CONTACT'S RIGHT CALF. THE CONTACT SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION AND WAS BREATHING IN A MACHINE FOR HER LUNGS NOT TO COLLAPSE. SHE ALSO VISITED AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON FOR THE MUSCLES IN HER BACK AND SHOULDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

CAR DOORS GET JAMMED DUE TO ELECTRIC CABLE, WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE

WATER FILLS UP IN BOTH TAIL LIGHTS

ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS WILL CATCH AND REVERSE. IT HAS HURT MY CHILDREN MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. THE CAR HAS 90K TO 120K ON IT OVER THE COURSE OF IT HAPPENING.

THE REVERSE TAIL LIGHTS FILL UP WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINS. I HAVE HAD IT FIXED, BUT 2 YEARS LATER THEY ARE FILLING UP AGAIN.

ENGINE IS TRIPPING THE CODE "P3497" BECAUSE THE ONBOARD COMPUTER IS MAKING THE ENGINE BURN TOO MUCH OIL. THIS COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT IT'S CAUSED BY A FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ASSEMBLY.

I HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY ONE YEAR. AT 122,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

I WENT TO THE OURISMAN HONDA OF LAUREL SEVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THEM TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM DUE TO A RECALL THAT I WAS INITIALLY UNAWARE OF. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AT NO COST. LATER, I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL THAT STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM DUE TO THE CONVERSION OF THE VAN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM WAS MOVED TO A DIFFERENT AREA WHEN THE VAN WAS CONVERTED TO A WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE. THEREFORE, THEY MADE CLAIMS TO NOT HAVE NORMAL ACCESS TO THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM. THEY HAVE NOW DECLARED THE RECALL REPAIRS TO BE NULL AND VOID. OURISMAN HODA OF LAUREL HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR, REPLACE OR REFUND THE EQUIPMENT OR PARTS.

I WAS DRIVING (IN MOTION) WITH MY WIFE AND 5 CHILDREN ON A STRAIGHT, SMOOTH STRETCH (NO CURVES OR LANE CHANGES) OF EASTBOUND I-84 NEAR BURLEY/RUPERT, IDAHO. THERE WAS A LIGHT DRIZZLE, TEMP OF ~60 F, AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN 300 FEET FRONT, SIDE, OR REAR. ALL WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLE WERE CLOSED, AND INTERIOR TEMP OF THE VEHICLE WAS ~68 F. WE HEARD A VERY LOUD, SCARY SOUND -- LIKE A SHOTGUN OR AS IF WE HAD DRIVEN UNDER A HUGE WATERFALL. I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW NO OBVIOUS ISSUES, THEN LOOKED UP AND OPENED THE CLOSED SLIDING SUNROOF COVER. I FOUND THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED, WHICH SCARED ME EVEN MORE, AND PROMPTLY CLOSED THE COVER TO PREVENT GLASS FROM FALLING ON ME, MY WIFE, OR MY 1 AND 3 Y/O DAUGHTERS WHO WERE SEATED IN THE SECOND ROW. WE STOPPED AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE REST AREA TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE AND TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS. AS WE DROVE, WE HEARD GLASS CONTINUE TO BREAK OFF AND BOTH SLIDE FROM THE CAR ROOF ONTO THE ROAD SURFACE, AS WELL AS TOWARD THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE ROOF AND HEADLINER.

TRANSMISSION NO WARNING , JUST FAILED TO GO INTO ANY GEAR DISCOVERED PROBLEM IN PARK , THAN TRYING TO GO INTO REVERSE, NOTHING, HOWEVER AFTER 2 HRS IN WENT INTO GEAR THAN SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED

OIL OVERCONSUMPTION, MULTIPLE CALLS TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD MY VIN DID NOT FALL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY GAVE. FASTWARD TO TODAY 3/26/19 AND THE ENGINE IS SHOT AND WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HERE IN TALLAHASSEE THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE ON PART OF AMERICAN HONDA. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MIAMI IN 2013 AND HAS BEEN SERVICED EVER SINCE AT SOUTH MOTOR'S HONDA IN MIAMI UNTIL WE MOVED UP TO HAVANA, FLORIDA. AFTER OUR MOVE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT FLOWERS HONDA IN THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, VSA LIGHT CAME ON, ROUGH IDLE, FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS. TOOK MY VAN IN TO SEE WHY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS, WAS TOLD THAT PISTON 3 WAS MISFIRING, AND THESE ENGINES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THIS MISFIRE ISSUE.

TAMARA RECALL LEFT SLIDING DOOR DOESN'T SLIDE RIGHT

PIVOT BOLT ON THE AUTO-TENSIONER BROKE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE PIVOT BOLT BROKE WAS AFTER I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IN SUBZERO WINTER CONDITIONS. I BARELY MADE IT HOME AS MY VAN WAS RUNNING ONLY ON THE BATTERY. IF I HAD STALLED ALONG THE ROAD, ME AND MY CHILDREN WERE AT RISK OF HYPOTHERMIA OR POSSIBLY DEATH DUE TO FRIGID -40 COLD WEATHER. I THEN HAD A NEW TENSIONER PULLEY BRACKET INSTALLED AND AFTER DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE PIVOT BOLT BROKE OFF COMPLETELY AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH DUE TO DEFECTIVE PIVOT BOLT..

THE VEHICLE HAS MAJOR LEAK FROM THE FIREWALL DOWN TO THE FLOOR COMPARTMENT. WATER GETS IN BOTH TAIL LIGHTS WHEN IT IS RAINING. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER TWICE AND THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. HONDA REFUSED ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I WILLL NEVER BUY A HONDA EVER AGAIN. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA AND LAST TOO.

"TAKATA RECALL" PAINT IS STRIPPING AND PEELING OFF OF VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS HONDA IS A WELL KNOWN AND RELIABLE BRAND. THERE ARE OTHER MAKES AND MODELS WHOS PAINT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME. WHAT IS HONDA'S EXCUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS EFFECTED NUMEROUS HONDA OWNERS? HOW WILL THEY MAKE THIS RIGHT?

SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF TRACK WHEN OPENING, CORD IS BROKEN AND BROKE MY WINDOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR DETACHED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE WHILE BRAKING. WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY HARD BRAKING TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I THEN TOOK THE CAR OUT OF GEAR (SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL) AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATION STOPPED. THIS HAPPENED TODAY (8/21/18) AND MULTIPLE TIMES (AT LEAST FIVE) IN THE PAST YEAR.

BOTH SLIDING DOORS COMING OFF TRACKS. ONE COMPLETELY FELL OFF AND WAS DAMAGED. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO A PERSON OR CHILD. I NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE AND ONLINE.

BROKEN FRONT STRUT COIL SPRING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HEARD A LOUD METALLIC SOUND WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OR ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS. I THEN NOTICED THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AS SLOW AS 25 MPH.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A LOCAL STREET, A CAR STOPPED SHORT IN FRONT OF ME, I HIT THE CAR WITH MY FRONT LEFT END, THE DRIVER AIR BAG DEPLOYED, POPPED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I SUSTAINED BURN INJURIES TO MY LEFT FOREARM WITH PERMANENT SCARRING.

HELLO, I HAVE A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. 2-3 MONTHS AGO MY WIFE HAD TO PULL OUR VAN OVER THE ROAD BECAUSE OF A SIGNIFICANT SHAKING (VIBRATION) OF THE WHOLE VEHICLE. SHE GOT PRETTY SCARED AND GAVE ME A CALL. THEN, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THAT WE HAD PURCHASED. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SPARK PLUGS HAD OIL LEAKED THROUGH THE ENGINE. THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE ISSUE OF SIGNIFICANT SHAKING WAS RESOLVED. SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL AND EACH WEEK I AM ADDING A QUARTER OF OIL. THEN, I HAVE GONE THROUGH SOME SEARCH AND FOUND THAT 2008-2013 ODYSSEY MODELS ARE POWERED BY A SIX-CYLINDER ENGINE WITH A VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT (VCM) SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS OIL TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE'S COMBUSTION CHAMBER, LEADING TO PREMATURE SPARK PLUG DEGRADATION, REDUCED FUEL ECONOMY, AND EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. AS A RESULT, MANY ODYSSEY OWNERS REPORT HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR SPARK PLUGS FREQUENTLY AND REFILL THE MOTOR WITH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THIS IS WHAT I AM EXACTLY HAVING. I HAVE CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER CARE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOUR VAN IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AS IT IS 8 YEARS 7 MONTHS OLD AND IF IT WAS LESS THAN 8 YEARS, IT WAS GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS EXCESSIVE OIL LEAKAGE ON A LONG TRIP CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT ENGINE HEATING AND/OR SIGNIFICANT SHAKING OF WHOLE VEHICLE MAY REPEAT WHEN I AM ON AN INTERSTATE AND MY WHOLE FAMILY CAN FACE AN SERIOUS ACCIDENT ISSUE. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELPS IN GETTING HONDA TO FIX MY ENGINE AS THIS FIX IS QUITE EXPENSIVE FOR MY BUDGET. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND BEST REGARDS.

RIGHT (PASSENGER) SLIDING CARGO DOOR FELL OFF TRACK AND GOUGED THE SIDE PANEL OF THE VAN. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY. NOTICED IN WEEK PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT THAT THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND WHEN OPENING DOOR, AND IT WOULD SOMETIME CATCH AND RE-OPEN WHEN CLOSING AS THOUGH IT HIT AN OBSTACLE. DEALER MENTIONED MAYBE SOME SAND OR GRIT IN ASSEMBLY. IN DRIVEWAY, WE OPENED DOOR THEN WALKED AWAY TO THROW SOMETHING IN TRASH HEARD A NOISE AND CAME BACK TO FIND THE DOOR HAD FALLEN OFF AND WAS HANGING FROM THE CABLE USED BY THE POWER OPEN/CLOSE MECHANISM. SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED CAR FURTHER TRYING TO GET IT TO CLOSE ENOUGH TO TO TAKE TO REPAIR SHOP AND PREVENT DAMAGE FROM IMPENDING RAIN AT TIME OF INCIDENT. WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIGHT THE POWER MECHANISM AND TO TURN THE HEAVY DOOR THE CORRECT WAY TO GET ALL THE PIECES IN THEIR CORRECT RAILS AND POSITION, NEVER DID GET ENTIRELY CLOSED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER ADVISED TO TAKE TO BODY SHOP. BODY SHOP SENT ME BACK TO DEALER WHO WOULD NOT TAKE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS BUT THEN ENDED UP FIXING THE DOOR THE SAME DAY FOR ABOUT $575. THE BODY DAMAGE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.

CONFIGURED WITH 1 CHAIR BEHIND DRIVER AND ALL OTHER REAR SEATS REMOVED OR FOLDED DOWN. PAYLOAD CONSISTED OF MYSELF (DRIVER), SPOUSE, 4 GREAT DANE DOGS (550 LBS.), DOG FOOD AND GROCERIES. NO CELLPHONES ACCESSIBLE OR IN USE AND ALL VEHICULAR ENTERTAINMENT FUNCTIONS SWITCHED OFF. ABOUT 4:00 PM THURSDAY MARCH 1, 2018 WEATHER CLEAR, DRY AND AIR TEMPERATURE IN THE LOW 70S EXITED COSTCO (IH10W) PARKING LOT, PROCEEDED OVER IH10W ON BRIDGE TOWARD THE INTERSECTION WITH VANCE-JACKSON RD. AT APPROX. 35 MPH. ENCOUNTERED LINE OF STOPPED VEHICLES BACKED UP FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. USUAL AND NORMAL FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT PRODUCE THE EXPECTED SLOWING. EMPLOYING MAXIMUM PANIC FORCE ON BRAKE PEDAL FINALLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP SHORT OF COLLISION. IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO 'PARK' WHERE UPON THE UNLOADED ENGINE RACED TO HIGH RPM. SWITCHED IGNITION TO 'OFF' WITHOUT REMOVING KEY. DID NOT OBSERVE TACHOMETER DURING THE FOREGOING EXCITEMENT BUT ENGINE SOUND WAS LOUD AND HIGH PITCHED. CHECKED FLOOR AREA FOR OBJECTS OR OBSTRUCTION AND FOUND IT CLEAR. DRIVERS LEFT FOOT BEING FIRMLY PLANTED ON THE FLOOR, ONLY THE RIGHT FOOT HAD ACCESS TO BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR. RESTARTED ENGINE AND PROCEEDED HOME NORMALLY BUT WITH GREAT TREPIDATION AND CAUTION. SUBSEQUENT EXPERIMENT IN A SAFE AREA REVEALED THAT THE ENGINE CAN INDEED BE SHUT DOWN, WHILE IN MOTION, FROM ANY TRANSMISSION SELECTION WITHOUT GOING TO 'PARK' ALTHOUGH WITH CONSEQUENT LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED BRAKING AND STEERING. THIS KNOWLEDGE DOES PROVIDE SOME GUIDANCE FOR ANY FUTURE RUN-AWAY EPISODES. MY SPOUSE WILL BE STRONGLY DISCOURAGED FROM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. PERHAPS UNRELATED TO THIS INCIDENT (EXCEPTING THE POSSIBLE COMMONALITY OF ENGINE MANAGEMENT COMPUTER), THIS VAN HAS TWICE EXPERIENCED BATTERY DEPLETION DUE TO PARASITIC DRAIN WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT.

VAN ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN DRIVING, IT JUST REVS AT VERY HIGH RPM'S. ALSO WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THERE IS A RATTLE IN THE LEFT REAR TIRE AREA LIKE A SPRING IS BROKEN BUT THERE IS NOTHING VISUALLY WRONG....

2 WKS AGO 1/7/18 WE NOTICED A TICKING NOISE THAT MY HUSBAND SAID SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE SITTING AT IDLE OR MOVING..HE CHECKED THE OIL AND THERE WAS NONE THERE..IT WAS NOT TIME FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND WE GET THEM DONE REG. AT A NISSIAN DEALERSHIP..HE PUT 2 QTS OF OIL AND LUCAS ADDITIVE TO SEE IF THE NOISE WOULD QUITE DOWN..HOWEVER IT DID NOT AND HAS STARTED TO GET LOUDER..HE THEN WENT TO A MECHANIC FRIEND WHO USED A STETHOSCOPE AND SAID THAT IT WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE FOR SURE..WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO WE GOT THE VAN FROM AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WASN'T ANY OIL IN IT..THEY SAID THAT THEY DID SOME RESEARCH AND SHOW THAT HONDA SETTLED A LAWSUIT ABOUT FAST OIL COMSUPTION AND ENGINE FAILURE..MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WENT OUT 9/17 AND IT WOULD NEED TO HAVE A CEL..I ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO START A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA BUT THEY SAID THAT SINCE I'M NOT A CUSTOMER OF THEIR DEALERSHIP THAT IT WOULD BE OUT OF THEIR CONTROL..IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE AT IDLE AND WHEN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR..I'M AFRAID THAT IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND WILL STALL OUT ANYWHERE..I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE A NEW ENGINE WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND I'M AFRAID THAT THE VAN IS ONLY WORTH LIKE $6-7000 BUT WE OWE LIKE $12900 STILL

I CANNOT OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. (IT IS NOT A POWER SLIDING DOOR) IT WAS STEADILY GETTING HARDER TO OPEN. I BARELY GOT IT CLOSED AS IT WOULD ONLY OPEN A SHORT DISTANCE AND I COULD BARELY SLIDE IT CLOSED. NOW I AM AFRAID TO TRY TO OPEN IT AS I AM AFRAID IT WILL GET STUCK OPEN AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO CLOSE IT AT ALL.

HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY 1000 MILES.

I SEE A VSA LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD. NOT SURE IF IT IS A RECALL. BUT ENGINE DOES NOT START AT ALL.

SHORTLY INTO A SHORT TRIP (~5MI) ON LOCAL STREETS, SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE FRONT HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND 911 CALLED. THE EMERGENCY TEAM ARRIVED QUICKLY, BUT FIRE WAS NOTICED IN THE FRONT HOOD EVEN BEFORE THEY SHOWED UP. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BUT THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AS THE FRONT HOOD WAS ALMOST COMPLETE FRIED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND HAD ABOUT 83000 MILES ON IT. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, NO WARNING SIGN OR OTHER INDICATIONS WERE NOTICED.

"TAKATA RECALL"05

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE POWER TRAIN FAULT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION AND STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

BURNS 2+ QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES

LETTER FROM SENATOR BURR ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT [XXX] RE 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY THIRD ENGINE FAILURE PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 2017 FOR HONDA TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *LD INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE MUST FAIL A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME DEFECT BEFORE NOVEMBER, 2017. THE ENGINE FAILED A TOTAL OF 2 TIMES. THE FIRST FAILURE DID NOT MEET THE MANUFACTURER'S GUIDELINES DUE TO THE REPAIR NOT BEING SERVICED BY A HONDA MECHANIC. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE FAILURE BE REPAIRED REGARDLESS OF THE DEADLINE AND ANOTHER ENGINE FAILURE. UPDATED 08/23/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE CLOSING THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR FELL OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (PEARSON HONDA IN MIDLOTHIAN, VA) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS UNUSUAL AND DID NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM MULTIPLE OIL CHANGES AND SPARK PLUG CHANGES HAVE OCCURED

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS GRINDING AND MALFUNCTIONING. WENT TO OPEN IT FROM INSIDE AND IT FELL OFF ONLY HANGS MY BY A LITTLE CABLE. GOT IT SOMEWHAT BACK ON TRACK BUT IT WON'T LATCH AND FRIEND GOT HURT IN THE PROCESS OF IT FALLING OFF. DEEP SCRTCHES ON THE SIDE AS WELL. WHAT CAN WE DO.

VEHICLE VIBRATING WHILE ACCELERATING, REPLACED TIRES, BRAKES AND CHECKED EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT IT IS STILL VIBRATING SPECIFICALLY WHEN ACCELERATING.

OUR ENGINE IS ALWAYS SO LOW ON OIL IT DOES NOT REGISTER ON THE DIP STICK. IN THIS STATE I ADD 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL. I READ ONLINE THAT A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF HONDA VEHICLES HAVE THIS ISSUE WHEN OUR VEHICLE TRIGGERED A CHECK ENGINE CODE AND LOOKED UP THE CODE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN WESTMINSTER CA AND THEY DID A CHECK FOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND HAD US RETURN IN 1000 MILES. WHEN WE HIT THAT MILEAGE 3 WEEKS LATER I CHECKED THE OIL IN THE MORNING BEFORE RETURNING TO THE DEALER AND AGAIN THE OIL DID NOT REGISTER ON THE DIP STICK. THE DEALER HAD THE VAN FOR 4 HOURS AND THEN TOLD US IT WAS CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE 0.60 QUARTS LOW AND THAT THEY CONSIDERED IT WITH NORMAL RANGE OF OIL CONSUMPTION. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THEY LIED AND THAT THE VAN WAS AT LEAST 1.25 QUARTS LOW. HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE NOW SINCE I FEEL THE DEALER WAS DISHONEST, JUST KEEP ADDING 1-2 QUARTS EVERY FEW WEEKS AND HOPE THE ENGINE DOES NOT FAIL I GUESS.

REPLACED THE RECALL PARTS 40 MILES FROM A DEALER AND HONDA WANTS TO REDO AND NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. GAS WAS LEAAKING AND COULD NOT DRIVE FOR 40 MILES BECAUSE OF FIRE FEAR. AUTO REPAIR SHOP PUT IN FUEL MODULE. THE STRAINER FAILED AND CAUSED CRACKS THAT WERE LEAKING IN THE FUEL PUMP.

MY ODYSSEY WAS PARKED AND OFF I PUT MY PACKAGES AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE SLIDING DOOR. IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL FOR HELP I FOLLOWED THEIR INSTRUCTIONS AND THE DOOR CAME OFF THE TRACK AND HUNG BY JUST A VERY THIN CABLE I COULD NOT DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF IT FALLING COMPLETELY OFF AND DAMAGING SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT ALSO DID A LOT OF BODY DAMAGE. HONDA DEALER IN KENOSHA DID THE REPAIRS. THEY ONLY PAID FOR HALF AND WE HAD TO COVER THE OTHER $1500

NOT LONG AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP (ONE PREVIOUS OWNER) THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STARTED FREEZING UP. WE COULD NEITHER OPEN NOR CLOSE IT PROPERLY. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN, WE WERE SHOCKED WHEN THE MECHANIC TOLD US HE SAW THE PROBLEM ALL THE TIME ON THAT MODEL, AND THAT WE WERE LUCKY THE DOOR HAD NOT FALLEN OFF ON US, BECAUSE HE HAD SEEN IT HAPPEN TO OTHERS. WE HAVE THREE LITTLE KIDS...MOST MINIVAN OWNERS HAVE YOUNG KIDS! THEY REPLACED THE CHEAP PLASTIC ROLLERS WITH MORE CHEAP PLASTIC ROLLERS (WHY OF WHY IS THIS HONDA'S ONLY OPTION TO SUPPORT A HUGE, HEAVY STEEL DOOR?!) AND REMOVED THE AUTOMATIC MECHANISM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOW WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR. IT IS COMPLETELY FROZEN (AT THIS POINT IT'S FROZEN WHETHER IT'S IN AUTOMATIC MODE OR MANUAL), AND I HAVE LEFT IT SHUT THAT WAY BECAUSE I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY KIDS CLIMB IN THE OTHER SIDE, AND BUCKLE MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THROUGH THE WINDOW, THAN TRY TO OPEN IT AND RISK HAVING IT FALL ON SOMEONE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER MOTHERS IN MY TOWN WHO OWN THIS SAME CAR AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DOORS. THIS IS NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE, IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! WHAT IF BOTH DOORS FROZE ON SOMEONE DURING AN ACCIDENT AND THEY COULDN'T GET THEIR KIDS OUT? WHAT IF THE DOOR FELL OFF ON A CHILD?! AN ADULT MIGHT SUFFER ONLY MINOR INJURIES FROM SUCH A THING, BUT A CHILD WOULD BE CRUSHED. THERE ARE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE INTERNET, WITH HONDA USUALLY TELLING THE OWNERS THE PROBLEM IS SOMEHOW THEIR FAULT. TOYOTA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE SIENNA AND THEY DID A RECALL. WHY HAS HONDA NOT YET BEEN REQUIRED TO DO THE SAME?! HERE YOU CAN READ JUST SOME OF THE STORIES FROM OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C3864_DS475308.

HEAD REST IS CAUSING BACK AND NECK PAINS

WHILE DRIVING TO TEXAS FROM ST. LOUIS OUR VAN SUDDENLY DIED ON INTERSTATE 44. IT HAPPENED AT 1AM. WE CALLED USAA FOR HELP. THEY GOT US TO A REPAIR SHOP. WE LEARNED THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR TO DIE. WE HAD ZERO POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY FAMILY OF 5 WAS IN DANGER. WE LEARNED AT THE SHOP THE POWER STEERING WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY INSTEAD OF RECALL. THIS CAUSED OUR VAN TO DIE ON THE INTERSTATE AND PUT MY FAMILY IN IMMEDIATE RISK OF DEATH. WE WERE NOT TOLD OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE HONDA INFORMED US THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO. THE REPAIR SHOP IN OKLAHOMA CITY THAT FIXED OUR ALTERNATOR TOLD US THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AND WE WERE PUT AT RISK. PLEASE REVIEW AND MAKE THE CALL FOR A RECALL INSTEAD OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY CHILDREN WERE CRYING AND CLEARLY SHAKEN BY THE ENTIRE EVENT. HAD AN 18 WHEELER PASSED US AT THE TIME, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN US AND SURELY WOULD HAVE KILLED US ALL.

MY 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 85,000 MILES VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING UPHILL. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA TO GET THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. I LEARNED OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE WHICH COVERED UP TO MODEL YEAR 2009 BUT NOT 2010 EVEN THOUGH IT USES THE SAME PART. HONDA AMERICA WOULD ONLY OFFER ME A 40% DISCOUNT ON THE SERVICE. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MYSELF BUT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS A PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CLOSES AND THEN OPENS SLIGHTLY. THE LOCK WILL NOT ENGAGE. DASHBOARD LIGHT ALWAYS SHOW THAT DOOR IS AJAR. WHEN MAKING A TURN YESTERDAY THE DOOR ACTUALLY OPENED ALL THE WAY. MY BABY WAS SITTING ON THAT SIDE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

I BOUGHT THIS HONDA FOR 4,300 AND THE GUY SOLD IT TO ME WITH 90,000 MILES BUT I FOUND OUT THAT THE SPEED ODOMETER WAS CHANGED AND IT ACTUALLY HAS 228K MILES. WHEN I RECIEVED THE TITLE IT SAID THE ODOMETER WAS CHANGED BUT THEY NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I BOUGHT THE VAN IN DALLAS TEXAS IN A DEALER.

DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION MY CAR ENGINE FAILED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. MY WIFE WAS ABOUT TO GO ON A TRIP AND FORTUNATELY WE HAD IT LOOKED AT OR ELSE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS DANGER OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE. I WROTE 2 LETTERS TO HONDA ASKING FOR A NEW CAR OR A CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW CAR. THE SECOND LETTER I RECEIVED A CALL STATING SINCE I DID NOT OWN THE CAR THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME. THE GIRL, STEVIE, TOLD ME IF I WROTE MORE LETTERS THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED HARASSMENT????

THIS VEHICLE SPEED FROM 50 TO 70 MILES IF TAKE BRAKE THE CAR VIBRATE, THAT START FROM AROUND 30,000 MILES. AFTER FIXED IT, ABOUT 5,000 MILES, VIBRATE AGAIN. NOW THE TOTAL MILEAGE IS 79,300, ALREADY FIXED 3 TIMES. I FOUND HONDA ALL CAR MODEL HAS THE SAME ISSUE (ALL MY FRIENDS' DIFFERENT HONDA CAR MODELS) . ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN DRIVE FEELING A STRONG VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN ACCELERATION FEELING FROM THIS APRIL 2017. LAST WEEK JUST FIXED IT, DEALER CHANGED BOTH SIDE OF DRIVESHAFT ASSY-. CAR DEALER TALKED TO ME MANUFACTURE USED THE BAD PARTS MAY FROM 2008 TO 2012.

SPONTANOUSLY THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. IT WAS CLOSED AT TIME, ALL GLASS BEHIND CAR.

VEHICLE BURNS OIL. OIL LIGHT ON DASH WILL ILLUMINATE AND DIPSTICK WILL BE DRY WHEN CHECKED. REQUIRES OPERATOR TO ADD NEW OIL BETWEEN ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. ON BOARD COMPUTER WILL INDICATE SIGNIFICANT OIL LIFE REMAINING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

NOW WE'VE ALL HAD MANY CARS AND SOME DO BETTER THAN OTHERS. THE HONDA PAINT HAS TO RANK LAST ON A LONG LIST OF PAST PAINT JOBS. IT HAS LITERALLY PEELED OFF THE TOP OF THE CAR BY THE WINDOW AND SUNROOF AND HAS LOST ITS CLEAR COAT SO THE PAINT JUST DOESN'T LOOK GOOD. WHEN YOU ASK THEM ABOUT IT THEY RESPONDED WE DON'T COVER THAT . HONDA, YOU MAKE SUCH A GOOD CAR BUT CANT GET THE PAINT RIGHT? C'MON. I SEE MORE WHITE HONDA VANS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. THIS IS AWFUL WE HAVE NOW MADE A GAME OUT OF IT CALLED I SPY, WHO CAN FIND THE WHITE HONDA ODYSSEY WITH THE SAME PAINT PEELING SPOTS LIKE OURS. WE DO A LOT OF DRIVING LOCAL AND ROAD TRIPS.YOU WOULD BE AMAZED HOW MANY THERE ARE OUT THERE. HONDA THERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO. ITS EMBARRASSING TO DIVE THIS CAR AROUND. BUT ITS A GREAT RUNNING CAR WITH NOTHING WRONG PUT THE PAINT PEELING. NOT COOL.

PAINT/CLEAR-COAT ON THE ROOF PREMATURELY DETERIORATED CAUSING SIGNIFICANT BLEMISHES ABOVE FRONT WINDSHIELD, SIDE, AND REAR WINDOWS.

THE FRONT DOOR DETENTS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH, AND THEY WILL ALLOW THE DOOR TO CLOSE BY ITSELF. IF YOU ARE ON AN INCLINE, OR IT IS A WINDY DAY, THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, AND MYSELF, WHEN GETTING IN OR OUT OF THE VEHILCE. OF NOTE, HONDA USES THE SAME DETENT, WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER, ON A CIVIC, WHICH HAS A MUCH SMALLER AND LIGHTER DOOR, AS IT DOES ON THE ODYSSEY, WHICH HAS A MUCH LARGER DOOR. I CURRENTLY OWN A 2003 CHRYSLER VAN, AND A 1998 BMW, AND NEITHER OF WHICH HAVE THIS PROBLEM. AND FOR THAT MATTER, NONE OF THE OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION IS A SIMPLE REDESIGN OF THE DOOR DETENT TO ACCOUNT FOR THE HEAVIER ODYSSEY DOOR. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. ALSO OF NOTE, I DID REPLACE THE DOOR DETENT, AND THE NEW DETENT IS AS BAD AS THE OLD DETENT. A REDESIGN IS REQUIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN SHE TRIED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. THE VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE ROAD, HIT A DRAINAGE CULVERT, A TWO FOOT BOULDER, A MAILBOX, SKID ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY, HIT ANOTHER DRAINAGE CULVERT, AND CAME TO A REST IN A DITCH THAT RAN PARALLEL WITH THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AND TIRE WERE INSIDE THE DOOR HINGES, THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE CORNER BUMPER, FENDER, AND DOOR WERE DESTROYED. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL, SUSPENSION, SUBFRAME, FLOOR, AND INNER STRUCTURE WERE ALSO DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,244.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH IS LIT

PURCHASED THIS VAN 03/24/16.. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I PULLED OVER CHECK THE DIP STICK AND THERE WAS BUT A DROP OF OIL IN IT ...I TOOK A TAXI TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION BOUGHT 3 BOTTLES OF OIL AND I ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL THAT DAY, I HAD CALLED 2 DAYS PRIOR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD WAIT TILL ITS AT 15%(IT WAS AT 30% WHEN I CALLED) THEN 2 DAYS IN THE LIGHT CAME ON... I DIDN'T DRIVE THE VAN AFTER I GOT HOME TILL THE DATE OF THE APPOINTMENT 08/18/16, THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PLACE THE VAN ON A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND I MUST CHECK THE OIL LEVELS EACH TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION.. AND RETURN AFTER 1000 MILES ( BASICALLY I HEAR DRIVE UNTIL THE ENGINE BRAKES AN THEN IT WILL COST YOU TO FIX OR REPLACE CAUSE YOUR AT FAULT) AN ENGINE SHOULD BE USING OIL AND THE DEALER SHOULD KNOW WHERE THE OIL IS GOING, DON'T TELL ME ITS NORMAL TO BURN AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL ITS NOT**** I KNOW ABOUT VEHICLES ... THEN TO CLEAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEY SAY I HAVE TO PAY FOR AN SOFTWARE UPDATE (4 MTHS AFTER BUYING THIS VAN) AND I HAVE A 2 YEAR WARRANTY FOR THIS VAN... TO MUCH DECEIT WITH THESE DEALERS

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR RECALL SERVICE, 14-032 FUEL PUMP MODULE LEAK, AFTER NOTIFICATION IN AUGUST 2015. UPON COMPLETION, THE SERVICE REPORT INDICATED THAT A PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS ALSO APPLIED FOR LOCK-UP CLUTCH FUNCTION PER RECALL 09-053 ODYSSEY LC JUDDER. WHILE WE HAD EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION JUDDER AND VIBRATION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25 TO 35 MPH, WE WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY NOTIFICATION OR RECALL AT ALL. AROUND JULY 2016, THE TRANSMISSION JUDDER AND HESITATION, COMBINED WITH SOME SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAME BACK AND WE SCHEDULED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER FOR INSPECTION IN EARLY AUGUST 2016. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND A MINIMUM HOURLY LABOR CHARGE OF $115 WOULD APPLY FOR DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. AT THE END, THE SERVICE REPORT INDICATED THAT FLUID LEVEL WAS GOOD, TRANSMISSION JUDDER WAS CONFIRMED TO OCCUR BETWEEN 20 - 40 MPH ON ROAD TEST, AND THE TORQUE CONVERTOR SHOULD BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1,900 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT IT AND RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE. THE TORQUE CONVERTOR ON THIS VEHICLE IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT AND HONDA OFFERED ONLY A TEMPORARY QUICK FIX WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. OUR ODYSSEY HAS ONLY 46,500 MILES ON IT, BUT THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAS PASSED. PLEASE HELP AND INVESTIGATE.

FUEL SMELL, FUEL LEAK.

(1) AIR CONDITIONING FAILED,(2) EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION (3) POOR MILEAGE (EXTREMELY ROUGH RUNNING. ALL OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING (IN MOTION).

BRAKE SOFT PEDAL/WEAK PERFORMANCE - LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE I STRONGLY FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT AND THE PERFORMANCE IS NOT GOOD. IT HAS A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS ABOUT 50K MILES. AT 30K THE BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED BY A DEALER, ALONG WITH OTHER MAJOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULED. STILL I FELT THE SAME ISSUE AT 45K, BUT THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT PADS OF THE BRAKE ONE YEAR AGO, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED AS OF NOW. IN THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT BECAUSE IT IS A BIGGER CAR AND HONDA'S BRAKE STYLE. BUT I FOUND OTHER SIMILAR MINIVAN I RENTED FOR A TRAVEL HAD A TIGHT AND GOOD PERFORMING BRAKING SYSTEM, AND ALSO I PURCHASED A HONDA CR-V THIS JANUARY WHICH HAS A VERY TIGHT AND GOOD PERFORMING BRAKE AS WELL. IN THE MEAN TIME, I FOUND A PREVIOUS BRAKE RELATED RECALL FOR THE HONDA ODYSSEY 2007-8 MODELS. MY 2010 MODEL HAS THE SIMILAR BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER MODELS - SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. I AM NOT SURE HOW HONDA HAS SOLVED THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM AND WHETHER IS THERE ANY SIMILAR PROBLEM POSSIBLY REMAINING IN THE LATER MODEL. SIMPLE BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT/ROTOR POLISHING AND SO ON, CAN NOT SOLVE THIS SOFT BRAKE PEDAL PROBLEM. DEALER HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM BUT SIMPLY REPLACING MY FRONT BRAKE PAD AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I AM AFRAID THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS HONDA ODYSSEY 2007-8 MODEL PROBLEMS.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE, MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THE PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN AFTER THIS INCIDENT INDICATE THE GLASS IS BOWED OUTWARD AS THOUGH IT WERE SUCKED FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT THE RESULT OF SOMETHING IMPACTING THE CAR. THERE WAS NO OBJECT FOUND IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE ON THE SUNROOF COVER. THE COVER ITSELF WAS NOT DAMAGED, ALSO DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS WAS AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION. IF THE SHADE HAD NOT BEEN CLOSED, I COULD'VE EASILY BEEN KILLED, OR AT THE VERY LEAST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. THIS COULD KILL SMALL CHILDREN AND CAUSE MANY OTHER ACCIDENTS.

VEHICLE JERKED LIGHTLY EACH AND EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE VIBRATION IS MORE OBVIOUSLY WHEN VEHICLE CHANGED FROM STOP TO MOTION. HOWEVER, THE VIBRATION CAN STILL BE PERCEIVED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE FASTER THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE LESS VIBRATION PERCEIVED. THE CAR RUNS SMOOTHLY IF IT IS RUNNING AT THE SPEED 60MPH OR MORE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR USED LIGHTLY, PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND ONLY HAS 35K ON IT. OIL CHANGES PERFORMED REGULARLY EVERY 3K, AIR FILTER CHANGED YEARLY. *TR

STOPPED IN A SERVICE ROAD AROUND A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR CROSS TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. FOOT WAS ON BRAKE. VEHICLE ENGINE BEGAN RACING. PRESSED HARDER ON BRAKE TO HOLD VEHICLE BACK TO PREVENT HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO STOP FROM GOING FORWARD. TURNED OFF IGNITION SWITCH. STARTED VEHICLE AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I OPERATE THE BRAKE AND GAS ONLY WITH MY RIGHT FOOT. I CANNOT PRESS THE GAS WHILE MY RIGHT FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THIS VAN EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. DAY WAS SUNNY AND ABOUT 65F.

DRIVER'S DOOR UNLOCKS SPONTANEOUSLY WHEN MAKING SLOW RIGHT HAND TURNS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS. IT THEN RE LOCKS, ONLY TO SPONTANEOUSLY UNLOCK AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE APPROACHING A COMPLETE STOP, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THEM. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TRAVELING IN MOTION AT 40MPH THAN A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF ENGINE AND SPEED. VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP WITH BRAKES. HONDA ODYSSEY WAS PUT ON NEUTRAL THAN BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO STOP VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS ON A SECONDARY RODE AT THE TIME OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION. WE CALLED AAA TO PICK UP OUR HONDA ODYSSEY AND TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IN MY VAN. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM IN MY 2010 YEAR VAN. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR MY PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH SIDE POWER SLIDING DOORS WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO AND THEY ARE BOTH GOING TO NEED REPAIR AGAIN AS THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. THEY CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND THEN POP BACK OPEN LEAVING THEM ON AND THE OPEN DOOR SOUND INDICATORS REMAINS ON. ALSO WHEN TURNING, THE DOOR WILL CLOSE AND THEN OPEN BACK UP CREATING AIR TO COME THROUGH THE OPENINGS. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND VERY UNSAFE FOR OUR FAMILY TO TRAVEL IN. WE CAN'T EVEN TURN THE POWER OFF AND COMPLETELY CLOSE THE DOOR WITHOUT IT POPPING BACK OPEN. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM HONDA ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED AND ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE AN OBJECT FROM THE TRUNK, THE OBJECT WAS FOUND TO BE WET AND MOLDED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WHOLE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR HEADLINER WERE WET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAMS THAT MEET THE ROOF RAILS WERE SEPARATING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

OCCASIONALLY AS I COME TO A STOP (APPLY THE BREAKS, THE ENGINE WOULD SURGE UP TO 5,000 RPM), THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD UNTIL THE I APPLIED ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE BREAKS. THE ENGINE WOULD SHIFT DOWN TO THE IDLE CONFIGURATION. . I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 FOR MAINTENANCE THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT WITHOUT THE REPLICATION THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED 2 MINOR ACCIDENTS AND I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS MAY OCCUR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE APPROACHING A COMPLETE STOP, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MECHANIC DISPENSED BRAKE FLUID, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

RIGHT TAIL LIGHT FILLED WITH WATER, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. NOW THE LEFT ONE IS FULL OF WATER TOO. VEHICLE STATIONARY WHEN WATER OBSERVED EACH TIME, OF COURSE.

THE NYLON GUIDE ROLLERS ON THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR BROKE. THESE ROLLERS APPARENTLY CONTRIBUTE TO KEEPING THE DOOR UP AND INSIDE THE GUIDE RAIL. THIS CAUSED THE DOOR TO DROP AND BE SUSPENDED BY THE MOTORIZED CABLE THAT OPENS/CLOSES THE DOOR AND CANTILEVERED OFF OF THE BOTTOM GUIDE. THIS HAPPENED AFTER BEING PARKED AND ACTUATING THE DOOR. THERE WAS A SOUND OF THE NYLON GUIDES CRACKING AND THE SLIDER HITTING THE BODY PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT. I CONSIDER IT UNSAFE THAT THE DOOR BECAME UNUSABLE AND WOULD NOT RETURN CLOSED UNLESS UNBOLTED AND PUSHED IN. IT THEN DID NOT LATCH AND HAD TO BE CHAINED/TIED DOWN. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE DOOR. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I MUST HAVE HAD A COMMUNICATION ISSUE. IT WAS CHARACTERIZED IN THE ITEMIZED STATEMENT DIFFERENTLY THAN MY VERBAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT WAS WRITTEN UP AS A DOOR JAM. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE PERSON WAS QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE I EXPERIENCED AND SAID IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON. I WAS ADVISED IF THE DOOR BECAME COMPLETELY DETACHED TO GO TO A BODY SHOP FIRST. MY INSTANCE WAS NOT THAT SEVERE.

AFTER FRONT BRAKES WERE REPLACED PEDAL HEIGHT FELT DECENT. WHEN STOPPING ON A RAINY DAY I FELT THE ABS KICK IN. IT MADE A DIFFERENT SOUND THAN I'VE HEARD BEFORE. EVER SINCE THEN THE PEDAL HEIGHT HAS NOT FELT NORMAL. FEELS SOFT. IF YOU PUMP IT A COUPLE TIMES ITS NOT TOO BAD BUT WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT IN A SUDDEN STOP. THE PEDAL FEELS AS THOUGH IT TRAVELS FARTHER BEFORE ENGAGING AND WHEN IT DOES, IT IS STILL NOT HARD LIKE MY FORD. FOR A VEHICLE LIKE THIS WITH 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES IT SHOULD STOP ON A DIME LIKE IT USED TO. HAD THE BRAKE FLUID CHANGED AT THE DEALER. NO DIFFERENCE. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A SPEC FOR THE PEDAL HEIGHT. INTERESTING. I GUESS THE PEDAL CAN NEVER BE TOO LOW IF THERE'S NO SPEC, ONLY SUBJECTIVE TO WHAT HONDA WANTS TO ADMIT IS BAD OR NOT. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH I HAVE A 1989 LINCOLN MARK VII WITH THE ORGINAL FORD SERVICE MANUAL. THERE IS A SPECIFIC RANGE FOR THE PEDAL HEIGHT WHEN MEASURED FROM THE FLOOR BOARD. SURPRISING HOW FORD HAS HAD IT SINCE 1989 AND HONDA IS NOT REQUIRED. AGAIN - WE CAN ALL THINK THE PEDAL IS TOO LOW BUT IT'S ULTIMATELY HONDA'S OPINION SINCE THERE'S NOTHING TO MEASURE IT AGAINST. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW SO I KNOW HOW THE BRAKES USED TO, AND SHOULD FEEL. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB WITH SIMILAR STORIES FROM THE DEALERS AND HONDA I HOPE NHTSA WILL FINALLY FORCE THIS ISSUE INTO A RECALL BY REASSESSING THE VEHICLES STOPPING DISTANCE AGAINST WHAT WAS ADVERTISED. OR IS THIS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR THE 3/36 WARRANTY? NHTSA, IN THE WAKE OF THE VW SCANDAL, PLEASE FINALLY FORCE HONDA TO PULL THEIR HEAD OF THE SAND, ADMIT AND CORRECT THESE ISSUES SO MANY CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. ESPECIALLY AS IT PERTAINS TO SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS BRAKES.

SIMILAR TO CAMPAIGN ID # 12V062000 (FOR OLDER 2008-09 ODYSSEYS), THE TAILGATE ON MY 2010 ODYSSEY HAS FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. OPENING IT VIA ELECTRICAL BUTTONS (IN-CAR DASHBOARD OR REMOTE BUTTONS) RESULTS IN THE TAILGATE RAISING, BOUNCING UP AND DOWN, THEN CLOSING RIGHT BACK DOWN. OPENING IT MANUALLY PRODUCES ADDITIONAL RESISTANCE TO OPENING THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE THE FAILURE; THEN THE TAILGATE REFUSES TO STAY UP IN THE OPEN POSITION AND SLAMS DOWN WITH ADDITIONAL FORCE THAT CAN HURT AN ADULT, AND SERIOUSLY INJURE A CHILD. BASED ON CAMPAIGN ID # 12V062000, SUSPECTED FAILURE POINTS ARE THE TAILGATE GAS-FILLED STRUTS. VIDEO OF THE FAILURE MODE IS POSTED ON YOUTUBE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=8J54VWBCMAG

RIGHT REAR TAIL LAMP UNIT WAS COLLECTING WATER INSIDE THE HOUSING. DEALER ADVISED TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AS IT WAS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IF THERE WAS A SHORT CIRCUIT. IN JULY 2015, LEFT REAR TAIL LAMP STARTING COLLECTING WATER AS WELL.

SELF ACCELERATION ON HIGHWAY: DRIVING ON HIGHWAY (NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY) I REALIZED CAR (2010 ODYSSEY EX) WAS STARTING TO SPEED UP ON ITS OWN, EVEN WITH BRAKE (FOOT COMPLETELY OFF GAS PEDAL) IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 55 MPH: WHEN I BRAKED HARDER CAR SHOOK HEAVILY AS IF BRAKE WAS FIGHTING ENGINE. FINALLY (WITHIN 1-2 MILES) I CAME TO A SAFE AREA TO STOP (A SMALL REST-"TEXT" STOP) STOPPED ON BRAKE HARD AND PULLED HAND BRAKE, AND TURNED OFF ENGINE - SMOKE CAME OUT OF BRAKES . FRONT DISK BRAKES WERE GLOWING ORANGE. AFTER BRAKES COOLED DOWN RESTARTED CAR DROVE ABOUT 2 MILES AT 40MPH - ON HIGHWAY TO EXIT AND CHECKED INTO HOTEL.

ON 8/5/15 APPROXIMATELY 7:10 PM, I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY 37 TOWARDS VALLEJO. IT WAS ONE LANE HIGHWAY, MARSH LAND ON THE RIGHT AND CONCRETE BLOCK ON THE LEFT. A MAROON VAN LOST CONTROL, BUMPED INTO MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND HIT US FROM THE BEHIND. OUR ODYSSEY MINIVAN HAD A COSTCO SIZE IGLOO ICE CHEST, COMPUTER TOTE, AND A PLASTIC CRATE IN THE TRUNK, BUT IT WAS CRUSHED TO THE BACK ROW SEATS. ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT AND PASSENGER. DUE TO THE FACT THAT FRONT AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY, I HIT MY HEAD AND NECK FROM FRONT AND BACK MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE CRUSH. I HAD PAIN IN MY NECK AND HEAD IMMEDIATELY, AND I WAS TRANSPORTED TO KAISER PARMANENTE HOSPITAL. I WAS DISCHARGED NEXT DAY, BUT DUE TO THE CONCUSSION I HAVE BEEN SUFFERED BY MASSIVE, PAINFUL HEADACHE AND NAUSEA. THE BACK OF OUR MINIVAN WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH THIS UNSPEAKABLE FORCE. IF I WERE DRIVING 6 INCHES SLOWER, TWO CHILDREN WHO WERE SITTING IN THE VERY BACK ROW WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE FRONT AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED TO SAVE ME FROM INJURY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND LET US KNOW WHY THE FRONT AIR BAG OF OUR HONDA ODYSSEY DID NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD BE. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE TURNING LEFT, THE TIRES EMITTED A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEEL RUBBED AGAINST A PLASTIC PANEL SHIELD THAT LOOSENED AND HANGED FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE OF ENGINE RPMS. AFTER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP TO INSPECT AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,420.

BACK IN JUN 2013, I NOTICED "PASSENGER SIDE" TAIL LIGHT (REVERSE GEAR LIGHT BOX) WAS FULL OF WATER AFTER RAIN. APPROX MILEAGE WAS 28,000. I HAD IT REPLACED WITHIN A MONTH BECAUSE IT MIGHT CAUSE SERIOUS ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT ISSUES. NOW 2 YEARS AFTER IN JULY 2015, I SEE ANOTHER SIDE WHICH IS "DRIVER SIDE" TAIL LIGHT IS BEING FILLED WITH WATER AFTER EACH RAIN. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS NOW 35,800. I BELIEVE PARTS ON RIGHT SIDE AND LEFT SIDE BOTH WERE FAULTY AND FAILED WITHIN 35,000 MILES AND 5 YEARS. PER TECHNICIAN, THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ELECTRIC CIRCUIT ISSUES.

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

VAN HAS A SIGNIFICANT SHAKE (OR "JUDDER", SHUDDER, VIBRATION, OR SHIMMY) WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 50 AND 75 MPH. ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES, SIMILAR TO ONE OR MORE TIRES BEING OUT OF BALANCE BUT MUCH WORSE. JUDDER GOES AWAY COMPLETELY AND INSTANTLY WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. DURING THIS PERIOD I HAD THREE ALL-WHEEL ALIGNMENTS AND SEVERAL TIRE BALANCINGS, BUT NOTHING WORK. IT WAS ONLY RECENTLY WHEN I NOTICED IT ONLY OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING AND SO IT WASN'T A TIRE OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. *TR

APPLIED BRAKES TO BEGIN TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT - BRAKES HAVE BEEN VERY SOFT FOR MONTHS NOW - THIS TIME, THEY DID NOT ENGAGE FOR A BRIEF MOMENT - LESS THAN A SECOND AND THEN ENGAGED WITH USUAL "SOFT" FEEL. PEDAL GOES DOWN ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55-60 MPH A FLAT OCCURRED. MY WIFE PULLED OVER AFTER ABOUT 200 YARDS. I ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES LATER. LOOKING AT THE TIRE AND RIM, IT IS APPARENT THAT A HARD OBJECT BOTH PUNCTURED AND DAMAGED THE RIM. THIS IS NOT THE POINT OF CONCERN AS IT SEEMS CUSTOMARY FOR A FLAT TIRE. HOWEVER, TWO LARGE (15X3 INCH) PIECES OF THE RIM BROKE OFF. THIS SEEMED EXTREMELY UNUSUAL AFTER SUCH A PUNCTURE AND SHORT FOLLOWUP DRIVE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN AWARE OF SUCH AN OCCURRENCE. WHEN I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER, THE SERVICE PERSON HAD NOT HEARD OF IT EITHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNIGN LIGHT FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 3-4 FEET FROM THE CURB IN FRONT OF ME. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP WHEN THE VAN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED EXTREMELY RAPIDLY (AND WAS NOT RESPONSIVE TO BRAKE APPLICATION ) AND SLAMMED INTO THE CURB IN FRONT OF ME, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. I VERIFIED THAT THE FLOOR MATS WERE NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR. *JS

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LATCH/LOCK AND WAS TOLD THIS CAN CAUSE AIR BAG DEPLOYING PROBLEMS AS WELL AS DOOR COULD OPEN. HAD TO REPLACE POWER LATCH MECHANISM.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE INTO BOTH A TIRES PLUS AND ZIMBRICK HONDA (MADISON,WI) REGARDING WHAT I WOULD CALL A VERY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL FEEL.

SUBJECT: 2008-2009-2010 HONDA ODYSSEY TAIL LIGHT DEFECTS COMMENTS: 2008-2009-2010 HONDA ODYSSEY TAIL LIGHTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER PENETRATION WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS APPLIES TO THE PORTION OF THE TAIL LIGHT WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR HATCH DOOR. WATER ACCUMULATES IN THE WHITE PART OF THE LENS WHICH IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TAIL LIGHT IN THESE MODEL YEARS (I.E., THE BACK UP LIGHTS). THERE IS APPARENTLY A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE SEALED LIGHT SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD BOTH TAIL LIGHTS REPLACED IN MY 2010 ODYSSEY DUE TO WATER PENETRATION & COLLECTION.

FOR THE SECOND TIME THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK CLOSED AND THE WARNING TONE SOUNDED. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR HE SAID THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY IF IT WASN'T FIXED. THE DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM 71 YEARS OLD AND THE DOOR IS VERY SELDOM USED BY MY WIFE AND I. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE DOOR COULD HAVE COME LOOSE AND DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER HONDA VEHICLES. I DO HAVE THE OLD PART IF THAT WOULD HELP. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR BRAKES WHEN BACKING UP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE PARKING BRAKE PADS. I COULD LET THEM SAND THE EDGES FOR $200.00, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD PROBABLY RETURN. AT THAT POINT I DECLINED TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE TO THE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS TOLD THAT NO HARM WOULD BE DONE TO THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. I THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I CONSIDER BRAKING A VERY SERIOUS MATTER, ESPECIALLY AT SOME POINT IN TIME IF YOU CANNOT STOP. *TR

I GOT INTO THE CAR WITH MY CHILDREN ON JAN 3RD AT ABOUT 11:30 AM. AS WE WERE APPROACHING THE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED (BRAKE) FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS! I MADE A U-TURN TO GET AWAY FROM THE ON-RAMP AND GO HOME. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVING RIGHT. THE CAR SLOWED/STOPPED 2 MORE TIMES. I WAS ON MY STREET, WHEN THE "BRAKES WENT OUT". I COASTED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. SMOKE BEGAN BILLOWING OUT OF FRONT WHEEL WELLS. WHEN I WAS TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE, SO I RUSHED MY KIDS OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 911. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL SMOKING, HOT, AND SMELLING. I HAD CAR TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND WAS GOING TO GET HONDA INVOLVED. THEY COULD NOT SEE ANY PROBLEMS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EVENT. MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE CAR WAS "DRIVABLE", BUT DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE LETTING ME TAKE IT. I SAID THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE TAKING IT BECAUSE I CAN?T TRUST ITS SAFETY. JANUARY 5- I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT A VERY RECENT RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A YAW SENSOR TELLING THE VSA SYSTEM TO ENGAGE WHILE THE CAR IS ACCELERATING WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNING ON. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY CAR IS NOT NAMED IN THIS RECALL. ONLY 2007-2008 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED. I HAVE A 2010. ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS, HONDA DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL EXPLAIN TO OWNERS WHAT TO DO IN CASE THIS SUDDEN STOPPING OCCURS. I AM DUMBFOUNDED! THERE IS NOT A CHANCE THAT MY CHILDREN AND I WILL GET INTO THAT CAR WITH "INSTRUCTIONS" IN THE EVENT THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. IT SEEMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONTAINED TO 2007-2008 MODELS. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT HONDA NEEDS TO EXPAND ITS INITIAL RECALL. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE WARNED ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER EIGHT TIMES WHERE THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT THE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND SLOW TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT ALSO HAPHAZARDLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THREE YEARS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE OPERATING AS DESIGNED EACH TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WAS DRIVING ON ND HWY. 15. THE DRIVER'S SLIDING DOOR WOULD COME UNLATCHED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH. PUSH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LATCH BUTTON AGAIN AND IT STAYED LATCHED FOR ABOUT 7 MILES AND IT WOULD UNLATCH ITSELF AND THE ALARM WOULD GO OFF. TELLING YOU THE SLIDINGDOOR WAS UNLATCHED. I TOOK THE VAN TO RYDELL'S HONDA DEALER IN GRAND FORKS, ND THEY REPLACE THE LATCH AND ROLLERS ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS. THEY SAID IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS AND THE ROLLERS AND LATCHES WOULD GET WORE BECAUSE THE ROLLERS AND PART OF THE LATCH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. HONDA SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US TO TRY TO KEEP THE ROLLER GUIDES CLEAN AND PRESSURE WASH THE ROLLER GUIDE REALLY WELL. WE DID THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR CLEAN THE THE GUIDES BIWEEKLY AND WE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES AGAIN. THIS TIME HONDA REPLACED ON LATCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THREE WEEKS LATER THE OTHER SIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TOO. WE WERE LUCKILY THIS ONLY HAD HAPPEN CLOSE TO TOWN AND WE NEVER WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DOORS WOULD COME UNLATCHED WITHOUT NOTICE AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN ABOUT AN INCH OR TWO. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU TRY TO SHUT THE DOORS MANUALLY OR AUTOMATIC IT WILL STILL OPEN AND UNLATCH ON ITS OWN WHEN EVER IT WOULD LIKE TOO. WE ONLY LIVE ON ABOUT 3 MILES OF GRAVEL SO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AGES NINE AND EIGHT IS SCARY.

MY 21 MONTH OLD CHILD WAS STANDING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN OUR GARAGE AS I GOT THINGS OUT OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO CLOSING THE DOOR. I PUSHED THE BUTTON THAT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES THE DOOR AS I LEANED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE TO RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE. I HEARD MY CHILD SCREAMING AND I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THAT THE DOOR HAD CLOSED ON HER ENTIRE HAND UP TO HER WRIST. NOT ONLY DID THE SAFETY FEATURE FAIL THAT IS SUPPOSE TO DETECT BODY PARTS IN THE PATH OF THE DOOR, BUT THE DOOR ALSO WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY BODY WEIGHT TO PRY THE DOOR OFF OF HER HAND. THIS INCIDENT RESULTED IN A BLOODY AND BRUISED FINGER THAT HAD THE NAIL RIPPED OF IT. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN ENGINE ENCOUNTERED A SEVERE ROUGH IDLES AND LOST POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND VEHICLE STABILITY & TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE LIGHTS ALSO ILLUMINATED. HONDA DEALER PROXIMATE TO INCIDENT DIAGNOSED AS FOULED SPARK PLUG RELATED TO CYLINDER DEACTIVATION SYSTEM IN CAR. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH HONDA CARS HAVING A V6 ENGINE WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 6/23/2013. THE PERSON IN FRONT OF THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AT A GREEN LIGHT. THE PERSON BEHIND THAT PERSON SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND I, IN TURN, HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF HER CAR. I WAS DOING BETWEEN 15-20 WHEN I HIT HER AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIRBAG LIGHTS LIT UP FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER, BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AS THE POLICE OFFICER DETERMINED THE VAN WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE VAN I BOUGHT WAS ON 3/28/2010, THE BRAKE PAD WAS VERY SOFT, I HAD TO PRESS VERY DEEP DOWN ,I HAVE BEEN TO THE HONDA DEALER 3 TIMES ALREADY FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT EVERY TIME THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG/BROKEN , I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. FIRST WAS MASTERLY CYLINDERS HAS INTERNAL FAILURE, , THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER ON THE DATE OF 01/03/13, THEN THEY FOUND AIR IN BRAKE FLUID LINE AND FRONT ROTORS TO BE BADLY RUSTED, SO THEY REPLACED FRONT PADS AND MACHINED FRONT ROTORS ON THE DATE OF 03/15/13, AND THEN THEY FOUND REAR PADS AND ROTORS TO BE WARPED, THEY REPLACED THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT GOING ON AND OFF , I WENT TO THE DEALER AS WELL, THIS IS THEY FOUND CODE P0171 FUEL SYSTEM TOO LEAN , ON THE DATE OF 05/28/13, AND 06/14/13. , I TOOK MY CAR THERE AGAIN TODAY THE DEALER STILL HOLDING MY CAR. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR SOMETIME DOESN'T CLOSED ALL THE WAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE AND LATCH. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD OPEN INDEPENDENTLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING CLOSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO DISENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

MY TODDLER TRAVELS WITH ME UP TO 4 ROUND TRIPS A DAY. IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, HER CARSEAT HAS BEEN GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO UNCLICK. YOU HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD TO GET THE RED BUTTON TO CLICK OPEN. SOMETIMES ONE SIDE WOULD CLICK OPEN, THEN THE NEXT TIME BOTH SIDES WOULD STICK. TODAY, WE WERE ON AN OUTING (FOR MOTHER'S DAY), AND WE SPENT OVER 45 MINS. TRYING TO UNBUCKLE HER FROM THE SEAT. I TRIED VERY HARD AS WELL AS A LARGE GENTLEMAN NEARBY IN THE PARKING LOT WHO HAPPENED TO NOTICE ME IN DISTRESS. MY TODDLER BECAME INCREASINGLY UPSET AS IT WAS GETTING SCARY FOR HER. THE MAN WAS ALSO SHOCKED TO SEE THAT HE WASN'T GETTING IT UNBUCKLED WITH STRONG FORCE. WE DEBATED CUTTING IT APART; WE ALSO DEBATED CALLING 911 TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT UNLEASH IT. I RULED BOTH OUT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO GIVE IT A FEW MORE MINUTES. SO TO GET HER OUT, WE LOOSENED UP THE STRAPS AS MUCH AS WE COULD AND SQUEEZED HER FROM THE SEAT. WE SPENT ANOTHER TEN MINUTES OR SO CONTINUALLY TRYING TO UNCLICK THE BELT. IT'S SHOCKING TO ME - ALTHOUGH THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. IT HAS NEVER TAKEN MORE THAN 3-5 MINUTES TO UNCLICK THE HARNESS. I'VE GOT NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP USING THE SEAT UNTIL WE CAN GET RESOLUTION FROM GRACO. I DO PLAN ON CONTACTING THEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING (MONDAY MORNING 5/13/2013) WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO RECEIVE ANOTHER MODEL OF CARSEAT - AND RETURN THIS ONE TO THEM. I HAVE NOT KEPT THE RECEIPT FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE FROM TARGET, SO I'M CERTAIN THEY CANNOT EXCHANGE IT. BUT IN RESEARCHING RECALLS ABOUT THIS MODEL OF CARSEAT, I'M SHOCKED ONCE MORE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. IT'S EXTREMELY UNNERVING TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR CHILD. AND EVEN MORE, THE WORST CASE SCENARIOS ARE ALREADY PLAYING IN MY MIND: WHAT IF WE HAD A CAR FIRE OR A CAR ACCIDENT? IF THE BUCKLE IS A DEFECT, WHAT ELSE IS DEFECTIVE ABOUT THIS CARSEAT? I'D LIKE NOT TO FIND OUT THE HARD WAY. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FOLLOW-UP. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN ENERGY LX4 TIRES, SIZE 235/65/R16V DOT (AP46 CTXX 3709).

I DRIVE MY VAN WITH MY FAMILY EVERY DAY AND AT FREEWAY SPEED. WHEN I NEED TO BRAKE THE VAN STARTS SHAKING AND THE PEDAL PULSE IS VERY SCARY. I TOOK IT TO JOHN EAGLE IN HOUSTON, AND THEY TOLD ME THE PADS STILL HAD 60% LIFE LEFT. IF I CAN LIVE WITH THIS UNTIL THE VAN GETS REPAIRS ON ALL THE BRAKES, OR REPLACE EVERYTHING . BUT HONDA DOES NOT HAVE WARRANTY ON THE BRAKES . THE VAN IS NEW, NOT SAFE , AND WITHOUT WARRANTY. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 BRAUN ENTERVAN IN LATE 2011. IT WAS NEW WITH 17 MILES. WE NOTICED WATER COLLECTING UNDER FRONT SEATS AT ABOUT 15000 MILES. IT WAS RUSTING OUR SEAT ANCHORS WHICH COULD LEAD TO FAILURE IN A CRASH. IT ALSO HAS PERSISTENT STEERING PROBLEMS AND TIRE WEARING AT 15000 MILES. IT WAS RETURNED TO BRAUN FOR REPAIR BECAUSE WE INSISTED AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE BRAUN CORPORATION. THEY ATTEMPTED REPAIRS BUT RETURNED TO US WITH MORE ISSUES AND A CONTINUED STEERING PROBLEM.THIS WAS THEIR FIRST YEAR DOING A HONDA ENTERVAN CONVERSION AND THEY HAVE OFFERED A 5000.00 SUPPLEMENT TOWARD A TRADE. OUR LOCAL DEALER HAS LED US TO BELIEVE HE WOULD TRADE BUT WILL NOT FOLLOW THROUGH, I FIRMLY BELIEVE HE DOES NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE BACK. HE SAID IT WAS A JUNK DEAL. IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM TO SELL US. I BELIEVE THIS BRAUN HONDA ENTERVAN 2010 MODEL MAY NEED A FORMAL RECALL. SOME HANDICAPPED PEOPLE MAY NOT BE REMOVING THE FRONT SEATS TO NOTICE THESE WATER PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE MOLD WHEN THE CARPET REMAINS WET. I ALSO HAVE CONCERNS THAT CARBON MONOXIDE COULD BE ENTERING THE VEHICLE IF WATER CAN GET IN CLOSE TO THE FIREWALL. WE BELIEVE DURING THE CONVERSION SOMETHING GOT OUT OF ALIGNMENT CAUSING EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND STEERING PROBLEMS,. I HAVE KEPT ALL DOCUMENTATION AND HAVE PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED ANCHORS AND THE WATER PUDDLING AND EVEN FROZEN IN THE WINTER. *TR

WHEN BRAKING AT 60 MPH OR HIGHER, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHIMMIES. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN MY HANDS. ONCE THE SPEED IS BELOW 60 MPH, THE SHIMMY STOPS. I TOOK IT TO MCGRATH HONDA IN CHICAGO AND AFTER AN INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THE FRONT BRAKES WERE NEW AND THAT THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID THEIR MECHANIC THOUGHT THE SHAKE WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE REAR BRAKES!! I AGREED TO LET THEM REPAIR THE REAR BRAKES. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.I MAY HAVE PURCHASED REAR BRAKES NEEDLESSLY! I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT ARE LIKE MINE. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT SOME OWNER'S HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED AND THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING AS TO THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT WILL CAUSE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTERMARKET AUTOMOTIVE RIMS FAILED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS OF NORMAL DRIVING. MODA MD9 OR MD9610 WERE LISTED AS A RECOMMENDED WINTER DRIVING RIM BY A LARGE ONLINE RETAILER OUT OF SOUTH BEND INDIANA. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME NOTICED STRONG VIBRATION ISSUES. AN APPROVED TIRE INSTALLER REVIEWED THE RIMS AND STATED ALL 4 RIMS WERE EGG SHAPED AND COULD NOT BE BALANCED. RIM RUNOUT SPECS OUT OF RANGE. EGG SHAPED CONDITION CREATES STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AND AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. RETAILER THROUGH THEIR PRODUCT SUPPORT, DENIED ANY PRODUCT ISSUES AND STATED THE ONLY WAY WHEELS COULD HAVE DEFORMED WAS THROUGH ABNORMAL USE. ALL 4 RIMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL AND HAVE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT RIMS USED ON THIS HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES OVER SEVERAL YEARS OF USE. FEEL THE PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO DEFECTIVE WHEELS OR RIMS. *TR

OUR 2010 HONDAY ODYSSEY HAS ROLLED BACKWARD WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN "PARK" TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE AS IT ROLLED 'ONLY' ABOUT 18 INCHES. THE SECOND TIME THE VAN WAS AGAIN IN "PARK", AND THE KEYS WERE OUT OF THE IGNITION, A FEW HOURS LATER A NEIGHBOR CAME TO INFORM US THAT THE VAN HAD ROLLED INTO THE STREET/ALLEY WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 7 FEET FROM THE ORIGINAL PARKING SPOT. THE VAN IS PARKED IN AN ALMOST FLAT LOCATION, THE "INCLINE" OF THE DRIVEWAY IS STANDARD RAIN RUN-OFF GRADE SO LESS THAN 2% APPROXIMATELY. *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR NELSON ON BEHALF ON CONSTITUENT, AN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY MEMBER STATIONED IN GERMANY WHO IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY (DOT/I# S2012 282). *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS AN UNIDENTIFIED ELECTRICAL AND/OR COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT TRIGGERS THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM EVERY TIME HE OPENS THE DOORS, WHICH CAUSE ALL THE POWER BUTTONS INSIDE THE VEHICLE NOT TO FUNCTION.

TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, ONE ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD OF MY 2010, HONDA ODYSSEY. THE STAR CRACK WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PENNY. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHO SENT OUT SAFELITE TO REPAIR THE WINDSHIELD. SAFELITE INSPECTED AND SAID THE WINDSHIELD COULD BE REPAIRED AND THEN DETERMINED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD, HAS LESS THAN 20K MILES, WAS STRUCK BY 1, SMALL ROCK AND THE WINDSHIELD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA, ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN STRUCK BY ROCKS, NONE OF THE OTHERS EXPERIENCED ANY DAMAGE. *TR

IN THE END OF AUGUST THE POWER WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING IN OUR ODYSSEY. WHEN I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE DEALER TO FIX THE WINDOWS, THE ALARM SYSTEM DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEYS AND WENT OFF EVERY TIME THE DEALER TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR. I BROUGHT IN MY WIFE'S SET OF KEYS TO SEE IF THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT IT DID NOT. THE CAR NO LONGER RECOGNIZES EITHER KEY OR KEY FOB AND TRIGGERS THE ALARM WHENEVER I UNLOCK AND OPEN THE DOORS. ADDITIONALLY, THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB SOMEHOW CAUSED MY WINDOWS TO GO DOWN SO THEY ARE STUCK DOWN AND NO BUTTONS, DOOR LOCKS, WINDOWS, POWER SLIDING DOORS, OR REAR TAILGATE LIFT WORK. HONDA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND HAS BEEN RESISTANT TO HELP FIX THE CA DESPITE IT STILL BEING UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT. IN AUGUST OF 2011 I NOTICED THAT IT WAS EASILY DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT AND SO HAD IT REALIGNED AT A LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE DRIFTING PROBLEM. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO ROTATED THE FRONT TIRES AND ALSO CHECKED FOR TIRE PRESSURE AND WEAR. ROAD CROWN ALSO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT SINCE THE DRIFT IS NOTICEABLE EVEN ON FLAT SURFACES SUCH AS PARKING LOTS. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE VAN IN THREE MORE TIMES TO THE SAME DEALER WHO INSISTS THAT EVERYTHING IS WITHIN FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER WHO CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT AND ROTATED THE TIRES FRONT TO BACK. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY AND THE IMMENSE DRIVER FATIGUE CAUSED FROM HAVING TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING TO PREVENT THE VAN FROM DRIFTING OFF INTO THE NEXT LANE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYESSY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 65 MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CLARIFICATION AS TO WHICH ROTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WAS UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,849 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THIS IS AN ON-GOING SAFETY ISSUE AND POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DEFECT INVOLVING THE CHECK ROD MECHANISM ON THE FRONT DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK RODS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE RESISTANCE TO KEEP THE DOOR OPEN. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE FRONT DOOR IS IN THE FULLY OPENED POSITION, THE DOOR IS PRONE TO SWING SHUT. THIS OCCURS IN A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS: ON A LEVEL SURFACE, IF THE DOOR IS PUSHED OPEN, THE DOOR WILL SOMETIMES SWING BACK ON THE OCCUPANT; THE FULLY OPENED DOOR WILL ALSO SWING SHUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON EVEN A SLIGHT INCLINE OR IS BLOWN BY A GUST OF WIND. THE CHECK RODS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE RESISTANCE TO KEEP THE DOOR IN THE OPEN POSITION WHEN FULLY EXTENDED. THESE ARE VERY HEAVY DOORS AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS INSTANCES IN WHICH THE DOOR HAS STARTED SWINGING SHUT IN EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS. I DISCUSSED THIS CONCERN WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO AMERICAN HONDA (CASE # [XXX]). I COMPARED THE FRONT DOOR CHECK ROD MECHANISM IN THE 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY ON THE DEALER?S LOT. THE CHECK ROD ON THE 2012 ODYSSEY FUNCTIONED PROPERLY, CREATING AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF RESISTANCE WHEN THE DOOR WAS FULLY EXTENDED. THE SERVICE MANAGER ORDERED A SET OF 2012 ODYSSEY CHECK RODS, WITH THE HOPE THEY COULD BE INSTALLED ON MY 2010 ODYSSEY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE 2012 RODS DID NOT MATCH AND COULD NOT BE INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. AMERICAN HONDA HAS DECLINED TO TAKE ANY REMEDIAL ACTION. I STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT THE DEFECT IN THE CHECK ROD USED IN THE 2010 ODYSSEY MODEL LED TO A REDESIGN OF THE CHECK ROD MECHANISM FOR SUBSEQUENT VEHICLE YEARS. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOUR OFFICE CHECK INTO THIS MATTER AND ADDRESS THE DEFECT IN THE 2010 ODYSSEY CHECK ROD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM COURTESY PALM HABOR HONDA IN 2010. AT 25000 MILES THIS CAR DIED OUT COMPLETELY ON ME. NOT A SINGLE THING WORKING INCLUDING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. CAR WAS TOWED TO NALLEY HONDA, BRUNSWICK GA AND WHILE IT WAS FIXED I WAS INFM THAT THE CAR HAD BAD FUSE. THE SAME WAS REPORTED TO AMERICAN HONDA PRIOR TO TOWING. AMERICAN HONDA HAS NOT TAKEN THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY SAYING IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN PLEASE CALL US BACK AGAIN. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM ON ROAD WITH MY FAMILY. PRIOR TO THIS CAR I HAD ANOTHER 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY WHICH HAD SAME ISSUES AND WITH PRESSURE I HAD TO ASK COURTESY PALM HABOR HONDA TO REPLACE ME WITH NEW ONE WHICH THEY DID. THIS IS SOMETHING SERIOUS WHICH AMERICAN HONDA DIDN'T BELIEVE TO ADDRESS AND JUST WALKED AWAY. PREVIOUS VIN I HAD WAS [XXX]. WHO IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE IF THE SAME THING HAPPENS AFTER THE MFG WARRANTY IS OVER FROM AMERICAN HONDA. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT FROM BUT THEY TOO HAVE RESPONDED WELL TO THE ISSUE AND LEFT ME SAYING NALLEY HONDA WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUES.

VEHICLE PULLS RIGHT AND/OR LEFT DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY YOU TURN INTO A CURVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ROUNDING CURVES AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY/HIGHWAY. IT HAS REQUIRED MULTIPLE WHEEL ALIGNMENTS WHICH REALLY DON'T HELP. NOW IT HAS ISSUES WITH STEERING WHEN AT SLOW SPEEDS, PARTICULARLY IN PARKING LOTS AND/OR GOING IN/OUT OF DRIVEWAYS, MAKING LOUD CLUNKING NOISES.I RECEIVED NOTICES REGARDING UPDATES FOR WHICH I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TO COMPLETE. THIS DID NOT HELP WITH THE STEERING ISSUES. WHEN DRIVING LONG DISTANCES IT WILL CAUSE ARM FATIGUE DUE TO FIGHTING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE CORRECT LANE. I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION ON HIGHWAY 95 ( 2 LANE HWY) IN NEVADA DUE TO THE CONSTANT PULLING AND FLOATING. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ROAD CONDITIONS, MY DRIVING, ETC. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE VAN IN, IT CHANGED LANES INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE JUST BY LETTING GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS PREVIOUSLY TOLD THAT DUE TO THE NATURAL CURVE OF A STREET, THE CENTER BEING HIGHER, THAT ANY VEHICLE WILL FLOAT SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT IF IN THE CENTER LANE (MIDDLE OF THE ROAD). IF THIS IS TRUE THEN I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE WENT LEFT. IS HONDA WAITING FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEFORE THEY DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE? I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE OF THE INITIAL DATE AND MILEAGE WHEN I FIRST TOOK THIS VEHICLE IN FOR THE STEERING ISSUES, I ONLY KNOW IT WAS VERY NEW (WITHIN 2 -3 MOS. OLD). ON SUBSEQUENT VISITS THE DEALER WAS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". THIS SEEMS TO BE THEIR STANDARD LINE. I HAVE MY MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING TIRE ROTATIONS, DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS FROM 20-35 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE ABS CAUSES BRAKING TO FAIL TO HALT THE VEHICLE IN THE ANTICIPATED DISTANCE OF OTHER CARS. IT TAKES 3.5 CAR LENGTHS AT 18-20 MPH, WHICH CAN LEAD TO REAR END COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU ARE FORCED TO KEEP DOUBLE THE NORMAL NUMBER OF CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. AND YOUR FRONT WHEELS START SORT OF 'HOPPING' CAUSING PARTIAL LOSS OF TRACTION, DURING THE ABS CYCLE THAT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE ENGAGING. I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH MY PRIOR 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID, ONLY WORSENED BY THE VARIOUS HYBRID COMPONENTS KICKING IN AND OUT, INCLUDING THE REGEN BRAKING, AND THE ENGINE CUTOFF, AS WELL AS THE ABS AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. I HAD TWO MINOR REAR END FRONT END ACCIDENTS BUT FREQUENTLY FOUND MYSELF SKIDDING INTO INTERSECTIONS. BOTH VEHICLES ALSO SUFFERED FROM DIFFICULTY REGULATING SPEED WITHOUT USING THE BRAKES, AND VERY SENSITIVE SPEED BRAKING. NONETHELESS, I THINK THE ABS, SUSPENSION AND THE BRAKING ARE COMBINING TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO PARTLY LOSE TRACTION AND LEADS TO EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCES AT LOW SPEED. I HAVE NOT ONLY REPEATEDLY WRITTEN AND CALLED HONDA ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM, I'VE EVEN THREATENED TO TERMINATE MY LEASE AGREEMENT OVER IT. HONDA'S ONLY RESPONSE TO MY CALLS AND LETTERS SINCE 2008 IS THAT 'THERE IS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL REGARDING THE CONDITION YOU ARE REPORTING', TO WHICH MY COMMENT: "THERE DARN WELL SHOULD BE!" FALLS ON VERY DEAF CORPORATE EARS. *TR

UPDATED 03/14/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, IT TRAVELED LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WHEN HE PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE, HE ALSO MADE CONTACT WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. UPDATED 04/13/12

WHEN APPROACHING A 4 WAY INTERSECTION. I WAS DECELERATING WHEN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/BRAKES SEEMED TO LOCK CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A VERY ABRUPT STOP. SINCE THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED AN ISSUE (3 TIMES) UNDER ACCELERATION WHERE THE ENGINE WILL REV AND SLAM INTO THE NEXT GEAR.

I OWN 5 SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL SEATS. ALL OF THEM HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE COMPANY HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE THROUGH A RECALL OR EVEN A MENTION OF IT ON THEIR WEBSITE. ALL OF THE CARSEATS BECOME LOOSE AFTER PROPER INSTALLATION. THE BELT THAT IS USED TO TIGHTEN THE SEAT HAS A FAULTY MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS THE CARSEAT TO BECOME SO LOOSE THAT IT FALLS TO THE SIDE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CAR SEAT HAS NOT BECOME RECALLED YET. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND EVEN A SAFETY CAMPAIGN TO RECALL THESE SEATS STARTED BY PARENTS. IF NOTHING IS DONE I WILL BE CONTACTING MY SENATOR. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2010, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=ODYSSEY). *TR

AND THE PASSENGER SIDE CAN FEEL THE SHAKING WHEN THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED. I TOOL TO THE DEALER LAST MONTH. THEY TOLD ME THE BREAK IS FINE. IT IS PROBABLY THE ABS SYSTEM CAUSING THE GRINDING AND SHAKING.

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH GPS UNIT AND OIL LEAKING INSIDE VAN UNDER DASH *TGW ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH WAS EXCESS OIL. ALSO, THE GPS WAS GIVING INACCURATE INFORMATION AND WOULD REMAIN IN ONE POSITION. *JB

ON AT LEAST 2 OCCASIONS, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK EVEN WHEN USING MULTIPLE METHODS TO UNLOCK IT. EVEN WHEN THE KNOB ON THE DOOR WAS LIFTED MANUALLY, THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND OPEN. AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS (KEY FOB, AUTO DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON, MANUALLY LIFTING THE LOCKING KNOB), IT FINALLY OPENED. WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH WHEN SOMEONE TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON WAS PUSHED, BUT SINCE READING A REPORT OF A SIMILAR INCIDENT ON AN ODYSSEY, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKING MECHANISM. ONCE THE KNOB WAS LIFTED MANUALLY, THE DOOR SHOULD HAVE OPENED REGARDLESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS BEING CLOSED BY A CHILD OCCUPANT WHEN IT CLOSED ON THE CHILD'S HANDS. THERE WERE NO SEVERE INJURIES BUT THE CHILDS HAND WAS SWOLLEN. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SENSOR THAT WOULD STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING IF THERE WAS AN OBSTRUCTION. THE CONTACT DID NOT CONTACT THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 13,801.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOORS ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE VEHICLE FAILED. THE SAFETY MECHANISM FAILED TO KEEP THE DOORS IN THE OPEN POSITION AFTER IT WAS UNLOCKED. THE DOORS FAILED CONTINUOUSLY WHEN IT WAS COLD AND ICE FORMED ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE DOOR LATCHES TO REMAIN UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WAS NO FAILURE SINCE IT ONLY OCCURRED DURING FRIGID TEMPERATURES. A REPRESENTATIVE WITH THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO FAILURES WITHIN THE DOORS. THE REPRESENTATIVE ALSO ADDED LUBRICATION TO THE DOORS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,800.

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY NOW HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT. PURCHASED IN APRIL, 2010. AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE IN VARIOUS TYPES OF WEATHER (COLD, HOT, MILD, WET, SNOW) THE FRONT PASSENGER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DOOR LATCH NOT DISENGAGING. THE BUTTON WAS PUSHED TO UNLOCK. THE DOOR LOCKS APPEARED TO UNLOCK (THE STEM WENT UP). HOWEVER, THE DOOR WAS STILL LOCKED. AFTER TRYING VARIOUS THINGS LIKE REINSERTING THE KEY, TURNING ON/OFF THE ENGINE, ACTIVATING THE UNLOCK FEATURE ON THE KEYLESS ENTRY BUTTON, THE DOOR FINALLY WOULD UNLOCK AND OPEN. AS A SIDE NOTE, WHEN EXITING THE VAN I ALWAYS RECEIVE A SLIGHT STATIC SHOCK. *TR

ACCELERATION PROBLEM- I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF WESTBURY COSTCO WHEN I BACKED UP THE CAR FROM THE PARKING LOT AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE ACCELATOR WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AND THE ACELATOR SPEEDED UP VERY RAPIDLY. *LN

CAR PULLS TO RIGHT AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN. IF LAST TURN WAS TO THE LEFT CAR DRIVES STRAIGHT. WHEN PULLING TO THE RIGHT IS PULLS HARD ENOUGH THAT IS WILL CAUSE FATIGUE IN YOUR ARMS AFTER AWHILE OF DRIVING. ALSO IT YOU ALLOW IT THE CAR WILL CHANGE LANES IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT BEING CORRECTED. THEY HAVE ROTATED TIRES, REALIGNMENT, REPLACED STEERING RACK, REPLACE BOTH UPPER STRUT BEARINGS, ALL WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IN THIS CONDITION IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE IT. WE ARE TO MEET WITH THE HONDA REP. NEXT WEEK FOR THE SECOND TIME. DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BUT KEEP TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS A NEW CAR. *TR

NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF VAN FRONT-END SHUDDER THAT IMPACTS THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TAKEN TO HONDA DEALER, UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER STATES IT WAS WARPED ROTORS BUT THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT (2010 MODEL) AND CONSIDERED IT A MAINTENANCE ITEM AND WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. REPAIR WAS NOT MADE. *TR

HONDA ODYSSEY 2010 GRAB BAR CAUSED TODDLER TO BREAK LEG. TWO YEAR OLD WAS IN HER CAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. SHE PUT HER FOOT ON TOP OF THE GRAB BAR BEHIND THE SEAT, HER SHOE (SIZE 7 1/5) CAUGHT, SHE PULLED AND THE FORCE BROKE HER LEG. THIS HAPPENED IN THE TIME IT TOOK ME TO OPEN THE DOOR AND GET INTO THE CAR. I THINK THAT IF THE GRAB BAR WAS SHAPED DIFFERENTLY (THICKER BAR PART AND NARROWER HOLE ) THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

I TOO HAVE HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS W/ BOTH MY NEW 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY (CURRENTLY 1600 MI) AND MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY (130000 MI WHEN TRADED-IN). IN ALL CASES I HAD ENGINE ACCELERATION AS I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. VERY SCARY THE FIRST TIME OR TWO. I FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT MY FOOT WAS OVERHANGING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON THE RIGHT (WHICH IT CAN EASILY DO WHEN BRAKING WITH MY RIGHT FOOT) AND WAS INADVERTENTLY CONTACTING THE GAS PEDAL. THE HARDER I TRIED TO BRAKE THE FASTER THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. I HAVE LEARNED TO LET UP ON THE BRAKE & MOVE MY FOOT TO THE LEFT. IMMEDIATE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BUT I BELIEVE THIS A DESIGN FAULT. MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE & GAS PEDALS WOULD ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. PERHAPS A REDESIGN OF THE BRAKE PEDAL FACE WOULD BE A COST EFFECTIVE REMEDY. *TR

AT 7000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A VERY LOUD GRINDING AND RATTLING NOISE, SHAKING THE VEHICLE, WHEN SHIFTING FROM R TO D. THIS WAS REPEATED AT 25,000 MILES SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE. IN JULY OF 2010, VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR MEMORY STEERING, THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT STRUT. NOVEMBER OF 2010, THE VEHICLE STEERING IS UNSTABLE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE SENSATION IS EITHER OVER-ACTIVITY OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP OR UNDER-ACTIVITY. VEHICLE SEEMS VERY UNSTABLE UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON BUMPY ROADS. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANYTHING ABNORMAL. *TR

THE SLIDING DOORS TO OUR 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE FAILED TO CLOSE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ROLLER THAT THEY RUN ON BRAKES AND CAUSES THE DOOR NOT TO CLOSE. IT WILL OPEN BUT NOT CLOSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US THREE TIMES AND IT WAS TODAY TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYPLACE SUCH AS A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY TO SWITCH DRIVERS. WHEN THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE THE CAR WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO GET OUT OF PARK INTO GEAR. THERE WE ARE STUCK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND NOT ABLE TO MOVE. IF WE GET OUT OF THE CAR WE CAN GET HIT BY A CAR. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS YOU IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. UPON PARKING THE VEHICLE HE WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS. THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM BEGAN TO SOUND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

THIS CONCERNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, ON INITIAL APPLICATION, GOING SO LOW THAT I ALSO HIT THE ACCELERATOR, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD VIGOROUSLY. WHEN I CONTINUE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. WHEN I RELEASE THE PEDAL AND REAPPLY IT, IT GIVES ME A HARDER PEDAL IN WHICH TO GET STOPPED. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER SERVICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THIS FACILITY DO NOT SHOW THE CONCERN FOR THIS AS I FEEL THEY SHOULD, SINCE THIS INVOLVES A CONDITION THAT IS OF MY GRAVE CONCERN, AND I HOPE THAT I DON'T GO THERE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. I HAVE ALSO TALKED WITH HONDA AMERICA AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ANY HELP. *TR

ENGINE FAILURE AT 1700 MILES. FRONT AND REAR CAMSHAFTS SEIZED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE DISABLED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SECONDARY ROAD WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC AND JUST ABLE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY. REPLACED CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLIES,SPROCKETS, BELTS, GASKETS, ETC. OLD PARTS RETAINED BY DEALER. WE CALLED HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-800-999-1009 AND SPOKE TO A GENTLEMAN NAMED DAVID, WHO WAS NOT HELPFUL AND WOULD NOT TRANSFER US TO ANYONE WITH ANY AUTHORITY. THE DEALER TOLD US HONDA AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 3.5 L ENGINES. FORTUNATELY NO ONE APPARENTLY HAS BEEN DISABLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND KILLED BY LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN MODERATE TRAFFIC WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED AT AN OFF-RAMP. I PUSHED MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE FEELING THE BRAKES ENGAGE AT ALL. IT APPEARED THAT I HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE TO STOP, BUT MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLIDE INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND WE WERE SURPRISED TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING IN OUR FACES AS WE HIT THE OTHER CAR. THAT CAR THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. ALL 3 CARS WERE UNDRIVABLE. THE OTHER TWO DRIVERS WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE, WHILE MY DAUGHTER AND I HAD PAIN FOR 1-2 WEEKS FOLLOWING. I DROVE ANOTHER CAR WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP, AND WAS SHOCKED AT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BRAKING. DRIVING THE HONDA EVERY DAY, I DID NOT NOTICE THE CHANGES IN BRAKE FUNCTIONING OVER TIME. I LITERALLY HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE BRAKES TO WORK. I JUST HAD THE BRAKE RECALL PERFORMED, AND NOTICE A DRASTIC DIFFERENCE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND IN HOW LITTLE I HAVE TO PUSH ON THE PEDAL NOW TO GET THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA THAT THE SOFT BRAKES WOULD HAVE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH ACTUAL BRAKE FUNCTIONING. *TR

AT 110,000 MILES I BEGAN HAVING TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE UNTIL ALL SHIFTS WERE SLIPPING. THIS CAR HAS A LONG LAG (5 SECONDS OR MORE) WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. AT 114,000, THE TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED BY A 3RD PARTY TRANSMISSION SHOP. $2600 LATER, THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE SHOP CURRENTLY BELIEVES (THEY AREN'T SURE BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVEN'T GOT IT WORKING PROPERLY) THE FAILURE BEGAN WITH AN ELECTRICAL, POSSIBLY ECM, PROBLEM. THIS VAN HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. *TR

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL WITH 8500 MILES BURNS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IF I FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE MINDER SYSTEM I COULD BE LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A BLOWN ENGINE. *TR

THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON THREE DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. ON THE SECOND AND THIRD OCCURRENCES AIR WAS BLED OUT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY (10,000 MILES) LEASED-- TRANSMISSION REVS AT 6 AND SLAMS INTO GEAR AT AROUND 40 MPH. SECOND OCCURRENCE SINCE FEBRUARY OCCURRED TUESDAY. THE CAR JERKS AND SLAMS INTO GEAR UPON ENTRANCE TO A HIGHWAY, WITH FURTHER REVVING AND LOUD BANGING SLAMMING INTO GEAR FOR THE NEXT SHIFT. BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND AND THEN 2ND AND THIRD GEARS.

IN COLD WEATHER, WITH 1100 MI. ON VEHICLE, DROVE 10 MILES AND CAME TO A STOP. VEHICLE REVVED AT 1500 RPMS WHILE IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, PUT IN TO NEUTRAL AND IT REVVED TO 5000-6000 RPMS WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. TURNED OFF AND ON, VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REV AT 5000-6000 RPMS WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN, VEHICLE BACK TO NORMAL. PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. BROUGHT TO DEALER, DEALER DID BASIC TESTING, COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, BUT DEALER CHECKED FOR STORED CODES, NOTHING FOUND. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SAID VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. DEALER SUGGESTED FOOT WAS ON GAS PEDAL, OR FLOOR MAT WAS ON GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER, FOOT WAS ON BRAKE, AND FLOOR MAT WAS SECURED TO FLOOR. WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A 2001 ODYSSEY, THOUGHT PROBLEM WOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH THIS NEW MODEL. DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH THE 2001 ODYSSEY EITHER. THE CONSEQUENCE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS VEHICLE COULD HIT SOMETHING IN FRONT OF IT IF BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED FIRMLY WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. *TR

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY ENGINE DEFECT THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL AND CEASE OPERATION WHILE DRIVING HAVING THE DRIVER LOSE THE ABILITY TO FULLY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. DEFECT IS IN THE OIL SUPPLY TO THE OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT CAUSING IT TO SEIZE AND BREAKING THE TIMING BELT. MUCH UPPER END ENGINE DAMAGE. *TR

EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WHENEVER HE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO TURN UP THE VOLUME BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN ON THE SENSOR. THE HONDA MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND THEY WOULD NOT LET HIM SPEAK WITH THE ENGINEER IN REGARDS TO THE VOLUME AND THE DESIGN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WANTED THE DEALER TO INCREASE THE VOLUME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. THERE WAS NO MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 380.

WE HAVE A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. I WAS LOOKING AHEAD IN TRAFFIC AND NOTICE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD SLAM THEIR BRAKES. I THOUGHT I HAD ENOUGH DISTANCES TO STOP, BUT MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I COULDN'T MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL. I FELT LIKE I KEPT SLIDING INSTEAD OF JUST STOPPING. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND AT DUSK TIME DURING THE DAY. THE LADY FROM THE CAR THAT I BARELY HIT, GOT OUT OF HER CAR AND ASKED ME HOW NEW WAS MY VEHICLE. I TOLD HER THAT WE HAD JUST GOT IT. SHE SAID WHEN I LOOKED BACK TO SEE YOU, YOU HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP BUT IT LOOKED LIKE YOU KEPT SLIDING. SHE THOUGHT I SHOULD GO AND GET MY BRAKES CHECKED. SO I DID AT THE SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY BRAKES WERE FIND. I DON'T THINK THAT MY BRAKES ARE FINE. I HAD A 2004 ODYSSEY AND I FELT SAFER WITH THOSE BRAKES THAN I DO WITH THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE. ONE OTHER THING ABOUT MY VEHICLE SINCE I AM ON HERE. WE HAD TAKEN A LONG TRIP JUST AFTER WE HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. A WARNING LIGHT CAME OWN. MY HUSBAND LOOKED IN THE MANUAL IT WAS IN RELATION TO EMISSIONS. IT WAS THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP. WE HAD CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US 2 THINGS. TAKE IT IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND ARE WE TIGHTENING OUR GAS TANK CAP. SO WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD US NOTHING WAS WRONG. DURING OUR WHOLE TRIP BACK WE MADE SURE OUR GAS TANK CAP WAS TIGHTEN. TO THIS VARY DAY THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE LIGHT COMES AND GOES. THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. SO I AM ON HERE CONCERN ABOUT MY FAMILY AND I SAFETY. *TR

I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY ON OCTOBER 16, 2009. ON JANUARY 16, 2010, I WAS DRIVING IN NEW YORK CITY TRAFFIC STOPPED AT A LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL CARS. SUDDENLY THE CAR'S ENGINE STARTED TO RACE AND LURCHED FORWARD EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THE CAR KEPT LURCHING FORWARD AS I TRIED TO STEP DOWN ON THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER. AS SUDDENLY THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION STOPPED. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE FOUR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WHO WITNESSED THIS EVENT AT THE TIME. *TR

THE BACKUP LIGHTS ONE MY 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE ANYTHING. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER STATED THIS WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
