WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 10 AND 30 MPH, THE CAR HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. WHEN PUSHING ACCELERATION HARDER, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK.

2014 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING ELITE BEGAN VIOLENT JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING ON 84 DEGREE DAY AFTER AN HOUR OF STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING. OCCURRED NEARLY 20 TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHT TO MODERATE SPEEDS OF 25/35MPH. FELT AS IF HIT FROM BEHIND EACH TRANSITIONING/ACCELERATING 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. VERY SCARY. HAD MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN VAN WHO WERE EQUALLY ALARMED OVER VIOLENT JERKING. NOT A SINGLE SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON DURING THESE EPISODES. HAD VAN TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FAILED TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. FOUND OTHER 2014 ODYSSEY OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ODYSSEY/2014/TRANSMISSION/VEHICLE_JERKING_LOUD_CLUNKING_NOISE.SHTML. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30MPH AND PERFORMED A PANIC STOP AS A DELIVERY TRUCK IN FRONT STOPPED AND TURNED SUDDENLY. CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD AFTER THE DELIVERY TRUCK TURNED IN DRIVEWAY. GOING DOWN THE NEXT HILL OF THE 30MPH ROAD, THE BRAKES FAILED AS THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO THE POSTED SPEED. DRIVER STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED ONLY SLIGHTLY AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COAST THE VEHICLE TO A STOP ON A LONG RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY. JUST BEFORE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. GRINDING SOUND BECOME HIGHER PITCHED JUST BEFORE NOISE AND VEHICLE STOPPED. AFTER STOPPING, DRIVER TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE DRIVER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL AND BRAKING FUNCTION RETURNED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. CURRENT INFORMATION FROM DEALER IS THAT NO CAUSE HAS BEEN FOUND. ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT BRAKES WERE OVERHEATED DUE TO THE PANIC STOP. DEALER STILL HAS VEHICLE AND SAYS THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT 5 TO 20 MPH DURING ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION MAKES CLUNK NOISE AND JERKS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM TRANSMISSION FOR FEW SECONDS AND SUDDENLY SHIFT GEARS WITH JERK AND PUSHES THE VEHICLE (FEELS SOMEONE IS HITTING FROM BACK). THIS ISSUE IS RANDOM DURING TRAFFIC LIGHTS, HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FREEWAY MERGE. HAVING KIDS ON THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING IS BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS BEHAVIOR WILL LIKELY HIT OTHER VEHICLES AS ACCELERATION IS EXCEPTIONALLY SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT RESPOND. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ABOVE 45 MPH AND DRIVES WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. VEHICLE BEEN TO DEALER SERVICE CENTER TWICE BUT THEY SAID WE ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE IT AND IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RAISED TO HONDA BY MANY OWNERS BUT SO FAR NO UPDATE FROM THEM. HERE ARE SOME REF.

SEAT BELTS
ON SATURDAY JULY 19TH MY SON ALMOST CHOKED TO DEATH ON THE MIDDLE ROW SEATBELT. I HAVE THREE YOUNG KIDS OF 7,6 AND 4. THE 7 AND 6 WERE PLAYING AND SUDDENLY THE SEATBELT WRAPPED AROUND MY SONS NECK. MY WIFE QUICKLY ATTEMPTED TO UNATTACHED AND UNTANGLE AND SHE COULD NOT. THE SEATBELT JUST GOT TIGHTER AND TIGHTER AND THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY RELEASE BUTTON EITHER FROM THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF THE SEATBELT. I QUICKLY HELD HIM UP IN THE AIR SIDEWAYS TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE AIR WHILE MY WIFE RUN TO A STRANGER'S HOUSE TO BORROW SCISSORS. THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO RELEASE HIM FREE WAS TO CUT THE SEATBELT. WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED TO MY SON, ONLY BRUISES AROUND HIS NECK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA CORPORATION SHOULD BE AWARE OFF AND TAKEN CAREFUL INVESTIGATION. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY REALLY DON'T CARE MUCH. THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEATBELT AND IT'S WORKING THE WAY IT IS. I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY CASE WOULD BE CLOSED. THEY ARE RUDE AND NO SYMPATHY TO WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THE SECOND TIME I SPOKE TO A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE I TOLD THEM AGAIN THAT THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE, AS I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. THEY REFUSED AND ONLY STATE THAT THEY WILL PUT IT IN THE NOTES. *TR

2014 ODYSSEY HAS BEEN CHANGED TO INCLUDE A PROGRESSIVE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR FROM THE NORMAL FLAT GLASS MIRROR. THE GLASS IN THE MIRROR IS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT OBJECTS APPEAR BLURRED AND DISTORTED CAUSING DIFFICULTY FOCUSING WHILE LOOKING THRU MIRROR. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED ISSUE AND STATED MANY CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT SAME THING. CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AT DEALERS RECOMMENDATION. AMERICAN HONDA CONTACTED DEALER AND CONFINED. AT THIS TIME AMERICAN HONDA IS STATING IT IS A "DESIGN FEATURE" OF THE VEHICLE. NOT SURE HOW DISTORTION AND BLURRED VISION WITH A SAFETY DEVICE IS A "FEATURE". ASKED AMERICAN HONDA TO DOCUMENT THEIR POSITION, THEY REFUSED TO SEND ME ANY DOCUMENTATION STATING THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IS PROPRIETARY. DID SEARCH OF PROGRESSIVE MIRROR AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STRUCTURE:BODY
IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, BEGAN NEW LEASE FOR 3RD HONDA ODYSSEY AFTER HAVING TWO PREVIOUS AND LOVING THEM. ON MAY 23RD, MY VAN HAD NO SOUND OF LEFT (DRIVER'S) SIDE UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF AND HAS NOT RECURRED. TWO DAYS LATER, HOWEVER, TURN SIGNALS BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING WITH CONTINUOUS BLINKING AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. VAN WAS LOOKED AT DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL, AS PROBLEMS DID NOT REOCCUR FOR THEM. ON VACATION, I WAS STRANDED WITH A BROKEN FUEL DOOR AND DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR THAT WAS TEMP FIXED BY DEALERSHIP THERE. ON WAY HOME FROM VACATION, CRUISE CONTROL INTERMITTENTLY DID NOT RESPOND CORRECTLY WHEN IN USE IN BOTH THE SET AND RESUME FUNCTIONS. UPON RETURNING HOME, DEALERSHIP FIXED FUEL AND PASSENGER DOORS, HAD VAN FOR A WEEK TO ADDRESS ISSUES THAT ARE MORE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER-RELATED IN NATURE, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE, NOR ISOLATE PROBLEMS. VAN RETURNED TO ME WITH BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY ISSUES. TURN SIGNALS AND CRUISE CONTROL CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION, AND DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
IN THE 6 MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED A NEW 2014 ODYSSEY, THERE IS A LARGE AREA OF STREAKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD EVERY TIME THE WIPERS GO INTO RESTING POSITION. THIS IS A STREAK ABOUT 5 INCHES WIDE, ACROSS THE FIELD OF VISION FOR THE DRIVER. THE WINDSHIELD IS CLEAR WHEN THE WIPERS GO TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE STREAK APPEARS EVERY TIME THE WIPERS GO DOWN. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE WIPERS THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, AND POLISHED THE GLASS WITH STEEL WOOL ON THE LAST VISIT. UPON PICKING UP THE CAR, THE WINDSHIELD STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANAGER STATED THAT HONDA IS "WORKING ON THIS ISSUE", AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR US AT THIS TIME. ORIGINALLY, HOWEVER, HE HAD STATED THAT PERHAPS THE WINDSHIELD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A DEFECT. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE DECREASED VISIBILITY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON, THE COMPUTER(S) MALFUNCTIONS -- SCOPE OF FAILURE IS NOT KNOWN; SYMPTOM IS THAT CENTER DISPLAY SCREEN ON DASH (REFERRED TO AS "INTELLIGENT MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY", OR "I-MID", IN MANUALS) IS BLACKED OUT, EXCEPT THAT IT SHOWS YELLOW GRIDLINES AS IF REAR CAMERA WERE ON, HOWEVER REAR CAMERA IS DISABLED AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS THAT WOULD BE VISIBLE ON THE CENTER DISPLAY SCREEN (INCLUDING SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS REARVIEW CAMERA, "LANEWATCH"/SIDE-VIEW CAMERA, AS WELL AS ALL VEHICLE SETTINGS, SYSTEM SETTINGS, CAMERA SETTINGS, AUDIO SETTINGS, ETC.) ARE INOPERATIVE. SCREEN REMAINS BLACKED OUT WITH AFFECTED SYSTEMS INOPERATIVE FOR THE DURATION THAT THE CAR REMAINS ON, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAR IS IN PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE, ETC., AND WHETHER CAR IS MOVING OR STOPPED. IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, SO FAR IT HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL -- HOWEVER IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO DO THIS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY -- APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES TO DATE. *TR

STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY INSURANCE COMPANY BOUGHT THIS HONDA ODYSSEY EX 2014 VAN FOR ME TO BE MODIFIED FOR HANDICAPPED EQUIPMENT AS A REPLACEMENT. IT CHOSE AND DELIVERED THE VAN TO: BETTER LIFE MOBILITY CENTERS OF RIVERSIDE 7239 INDIANA AVE., RIVERSIDE CA 92504 9516863152, WHO THEN DISABLED MY STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS RESULTING IN DEFECTIVE TURN SIGNALS, HORN, LIGHTS ETC. NO NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO ME OF SUCH DISABLING OF THESE SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND THEY SIMPLY LEFT THE CONTROL FOR THE "TILT & TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN" IN A PLASTIC BAG ON THE CONSOLE. HONDA CARS OF CORONA (888) 568-0582 INFORMED ME THAT NO WARRANTY OR SERVICING OR DIAGNOSING OF THIS CAR WOULD BE MADE BY HONDA BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MODIFIED FOR HANDICAPPED DRIVING WHICH VOIDED ALL WARRANTY OF ANY SHAPE OR FORM. IT APPEARS THAT "BETTER LIFE MOBILITY" HAS NOT COMPLIED WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE DISABLING OF MY STEERING COLUMN, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BUSINESS AND THEIR CONDUCT. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS VAN WAS $34,547.53 BEFORE MODIFICATIONS AND NOW IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR OF THE STEERING COLUMN , TURN SIGNALS AND RELATED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH HAND CONTROLS FOR OVER 24 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS.. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
BARELY OVER 1 MONTH AGO I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS IS FIRST NEW VEHICLE I HAVE BOUGHT IN YEARS. BIG MISTAKE. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATION, THE VANS JERKS, SHUDDERS AND MAKE LOUD CLUNKING NOISES. AFTER I START THE VAN AND TRY TO ENGAGE IN REVERSE IT GOES NO WHERE...THE SAME THING STARTED HAPPENING WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. I TOOK IT TOO THE DEALERSHIP THAT WEEKEND AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A COMPUTER UPDATE THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM... IT DIDN'T. TWO DAYS LATER I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD THEM IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WANTED IT FIXED. THAT WAS 2 WEEKS AGO. THAT IS 2 WEEKS THAT THEY HAVE HAD MY "NEW" VAN THAT I AM PAYING DEARLY FOR. THEY HAVE ADMITTED TO FEELING THE PROBLEMS AND CLAIM THEY CALLED THE HONDA TECH LINE WHO STATES I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. NEXT WEEK THEY ARE INSTALLING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRY NEW THINGS UNTIL THEY FIND A SOLUTION. I LOVE THE FACT THAT I AM MAKING A PAYMENT FOR THEM TO PLAY WITH MY VAN AS THE TEST DUMMY. IF I WANTED A VAN WITH ALL THESE REPLACEMENTS I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN OLD ONE AND HAD EVERYTHING REBUILT AND SAVED ALOT OF MONEY AND TIME THAT A WORKING MOTHER OF 3 KIDS DOES NOT HAVE. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!! PLEASE DO YOU HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS YEAR MODEL OF VAN. *TR
