POWER TRAIN
MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS BEEN SHUDDERING FOR A LONG TIME HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2-3 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT OR GET THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN THERE. MY LEASE IS ALMOST UP AND WE THOUGHT OF BUYING THE VAN BECAUSE WE ARE WAY OVER OUR MILES BUT NOT WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR FEAR IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. IT SHUDDERS BETWEEN 30-40MPH OR ON AN INCLINE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING ODYSSEY ALONG WITH MY KIDS ON A SINGLE LANE CITY ROAD AT THE SPEED OF ~35 MILES/HOUR. I REAR ENDED THE CAR, WHICH RESULTED IN 3 CAR COLLISION. I GOT DISTRACTED FROM THE ROAD FOR 2-3 SEC, WHEN I GOT ATTENTION BACK ON THE I SAW A CAR STOPPED FOR LEFT TURN (NO LEFT TURNOUT). I PUSHED MY BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, BUT COULDN'T STOP MY VEHICLE, RESULTED IN REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE, WHICH PUSHED HIM, AND CAUSED A HIT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAILURE, BUT WHEN I SAW RECALLS RELATED TO THE SOFT BRAKE ISSUES, IT MADE ME RETHINK, THAT INCIDENT HAS SOFT BRAKES ISSUES HAS TO DO A LOT. IN PAST, I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE SOFTNESS OF THE BRAKES, THEY TOLD ME THAT VANS ARE BIGGER AND HEAVIER, SO IT TAKES TIME TO STOP THEM' INCIDENT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY VAN.. MY OLD BRAKES ARE STILL INTACT, AND I CAN STILL FEEL THE SOFTNESS.. BUT NOW WE DRIVE MUCH MORE CAREFULLY. NOW *TR

WHEN I OPENED THE REAR POWER LIFTGATE, IT GOT ALMOST COMPLETELY OPEN AND THEN UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSED WHILE MAKING A BEEPING SOUND. IT WOULD HAVE CLOSED ON MY HEAD IF I DIDN'T JUMP OUT OF THE WAY FAST ENOUGH. I TRIED IT AGAIN USING THE REMOTE AGAIN AND THEN W/ THE LIFTGATE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FAILURE OF FRONT A/C CONDENSER BY A SUPPOSED "ROCK" IMPACT RESULTING IN LOSS OF REFRIGERANT AND A/C SERVICE. I CONTEND THIS IS RELATED TO DESIGN DEFECT OF THE FRONT BUMPERS AND LACK OF GRILL IN LARGE OPENING. HONDA PROVIDED NO COMPENSATION AND EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSED BY STATING "DEALER STATED ROCK IMPACT IS CONSIDERED A COLLISION UNDER WARRANTY" A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH MANY MODELS OF HONDA, NOT JUST ODYSSEY. *TR

THE FIRST TIME SHORTLY AFTER VEHICLE DELIVERY BOLT WAS TIGHTEN, SECOND TIME BOLT WAS TIGHTEN AND SET WITH LOCK TIGHT WHICH REQUIRED OVERNIGHT STAY AT DEALER SERVICE CENTER. THIRD TIME, ENTIRE TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED- BEING COVERED UNDER DEALER SUPPLIED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WITH A $25 DEDUCTIBLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE REAR BRAKES OF OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY, TOURING HAS BEEN SQUEAKING EVEN AFTER IT WAS TAKEN TO NORM REEVES HONDA OF CERRITOS, CA. I ALSO CALLED HONDA CORPORATION, OF TORRANCE, CA AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE'S NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. TO THIS DAY, OUR ODYSSEY STILL SQUEAKS AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL JUST BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT FAILS AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY IN IT. WHAT CAN I DO EVEN IF THE DEALER / HONDA CORPORATION REFUSE TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER? PLEASE HELP. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTING. FIRST WE COULD FEEL THE ENGINE JUTTER BETWEEN 35 - 40 MPH WHEN UPSHIFTING. DEALER SAID IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. WE GOT THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE - MADE IT WORSE. THEY THEN SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. THE NEW TORQUE CONVERTER FIXED THE JUTTERING, NOW THE DOWNSHIFTING IS NOT SMOOTH. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY ARE TELLING US IT'S FINE. I'VE SPOKEN TO A MECHANIC AND HE MENTIONED THAT HE HAS HEARD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE A HONDA 2007 ODYSSEY AND THE ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS NEED TO BE CHANGED, AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD THE VAN SINCE NOV. 20/2006 I ALWAYS DRIVE THE VAN EVERY WHERE HOW CAN THIS BE TO A NEW VAN? I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF 1200$ TO FIX. THIS MAY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM BUT NOT SURE HOW MUCH OF ONE, BUT WHEN STOPPING IS CONCERNED IT IS SERIOUS. *TR
