THE FIRST TIME WE HAD AN ISSUE WE WERE IN THE COUNTRY AND WE STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. WE PUT THE SWITCH ON MANUAL HOWEVER THE DOOR WOULD STILL NOT CLOSE. WE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE LINE THAT WORKS THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE CUT TO CLOSE THE DOOR. WITHIN A WEEK THE OTHER DOOR STARTED NOT OPENING AND CLOSING PROPERLY EVEN WHEN IT WAS SET FOR MANUAL USE. WE WERE THE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DOOR FLEW OPEN. WE DID CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER ITS THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILTY TO PAY TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE BACKING UP SLOWLY (APPX. 2 MPH), THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT REAR WHEEL MADE LIGHT CONTACT WITH THE CURB. THE STEEL STEERING KNUCKLE (OFTEN CALLED THE SPINDLE) FOR THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE WHEEL SHEERED OFF, MAKING IT INOPERABLE. THIS WAS WITNESSED BY BYSTANDERS WHO CAN ATTEST THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A VERY LOW SPEED. THREE MECHANICS HAVE STATED THAT SUCH A FAILURE SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED, IN ANY SITUATION. NEVERTHELESS, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FACTORY-INSTALLED KNUCKLE WAS FAULTY AND WILL NOT TELL ME HOW MANY OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED. THEY REFUSE TO COVER ANY PORTION OF THE COST OF WHAT OTHERS HAVE CLASSIFIED AS AN UNPRECEDENTED FAILURE. *JS

POWER TRAIN
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

WHEELS
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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
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. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR AROUND A MONTH AGO. THIS IS STRANGE SINCE MY WIFE AND I ARE IN OUR 70'S AND VERY SELDOM USE THESE DOORS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
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. BOTH SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AGREED THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF LIFE ON THE ROTORS/PADS. BOTH FLUSHED THE BRAKE FLUID. HOWEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL NEEDS TO BE PRESSED 2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
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

SERVICE BRAKES
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

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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
