STRUCTURE:BODY
VAN SIDE SLIDING DOORS HAVE REAR LOCKING LATCH ACUATOR THAT FAILS. UNDER POWER CLOSE, THE REAR OF THE DOOR WILL PULL IN, LATCH, THEN UNLATCH AND RELEASE THE REAR OF THE DOOR. WITH POWER TO DOORS OFF (FUSE #13 REMOVED) THE DOOR REAR LATCH WILL NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. THE DOOR WITH A FAILED REAR LATCH WILL ALLOW THE DOOR TO SLIDE OPEN COMPLETELY ON ACCELERATION, SLAM FORWARD BUT NOT LATCH ON BRAKING, AND WILL ALSO SLIDE OPEN AROUND A CORNER. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I HAD 2 CHILDREN IN THE CENTER SEAT, AT THE SLIDING DOOR OPENINGS. DEALER WANTS $511 PLUS TAX, AND THERE IS A REBUILD SERVICE FOR THE REAR LATCH ON EBAY FOR AROUND $90, PROVING IT IS A CHRONIC, WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. AS A SIDE NOTE, IF THE 7.5 AMP FUSE IS LEFT INSTALLED IN SLOT 13 FOR SLIDING DOOR POWER, THE BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE OVER NIGHT. THE DEALER WILL NOT GUARANTEE I WILL NOT HAVE A POWER DISCHARGE AFTER THE REAR LATCH (MY LEFT SIDE DOOR IN MY CASE) IS CHANGED, AND FUSE 13 IS REINSTALLED. I'M GLAD MY KIDS WERE STRAPPED IN WHEN THE DOOR FLEW OPEN THE FIRST TIME. THE DOOR WOULD CHOP OFF A HAND IF IT SLAMS SHUT WHILE BREAKING THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE, AND HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO RECTIFY THE REAR LATCH (UNLATCHED) ISSUE. A SEARCH OF EBAY FOR "2008 HONDA ODYESSY REAR DOOR LATCH" RETURNS OVER 30 LISTINGS FOR REAR SLIDING DOOR LATCH ACTUATOR UNDER THE FOLLOWING HTTP: ADDRESS - HTTPS://WWW.EBAY.COM/SCH/I.HTML?_FROM=R40&_TRKSID=M570.L1313&_NKW=2008+HONDA+ODYESSY+REAR+DOOR+LATCH+REPAIR+SERVICE&_SACAT=0&LH_TITLEDESC=0&_OSACAT=0&_ODKW=2008+HONDA+ODYESSY+REAR+DOOR+LATCH+REPAIR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS OFF IN A PARKED STATE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS FOR THE HORN MALFUNCTIONED AND THE HORN WAS AUDIBLE FOR ABOUT 4 MINUTES. DURING WHICH, THE FUSE FOR THE HORN WAS REMOVED, THOUGH THE HORN DID NOT STOP BEING AUDIBLE. AFTER THE FOUR MINUTES, THE HORN CUT OFF AND THE HARNESS SHORTED OUT. SMOKE WAS VISIBLE AS WELL AS THE SMELL OF BURNT WIRE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT. PULLING OF THE FUSE HAD NO EFFECT AS THE HORN CONTINUED TO BE AUDIBLE. THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME AND CAN POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE IN THE VEHICLES ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WAS NO ONE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. MAINTENANCE IS PREFORMED IAW THE VEHICLES MANUAL AT AN OFFICIAL HONDA DEALERSHIP.

SINCE LATE LAST YEAR, MY 2018 ODYSSEY HAD BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THE SLIDING DOOR. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T CLOSE TILL I HIT THE BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES SO FINALLY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME MY CESS HARNESS IS KINKED AND WOULD COST ME $485 FOR REPLACING IT. THE DOOR HAD AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT RECALLS IN THE PAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 6500 MILES AND THESE WIRES ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO GO BAD THAT FAST.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CRUISING AT 35 MILES AN HOUR DOWN PARK BOULEVARD WITHOUT HITTING ANY BUMPS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG EXPLODED. THE EXPLOSION WAS SO HARD THAT IT KNOCKED DOWN THE REARVIEW MIRROR, THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT DOOR, AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS SO LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN HURT BY FLYING DEBRIS OR HAVING MY EAR DRUMS BLOWING OUT. EVERYONE I SPOKEN TO IN THE CAR SERVICE BUSINESS HAS NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS. AN AIRBAG EXPLODING WITHOUT IMPACT OR HITTING A MAJOR BUMP. I HAD LOCAL EMS COME TO CHECK ME OUT.

ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
OUR 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE HAS INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE. AS CONTEXT, THE CAR ENGINE WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULLY STOPPED, FOR EXAMPLE AT A RED LIGHT, AND A FEW OTHER CONDITIONS ARE MET (BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE, BATTERY CHARGE, ELECTRICAL LOAD). OUR VEHICLE WHEN AUTO STOPPED MAY STALL WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESUME DRIVING. WHEN THE DRIVER RELEASES THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR FAILS TO AUTO START, OR AUTO STARTS WITH WARNING MESSAGES. WHEN THE CAR FAILS TO START, A VARIETY OF WARNING MESSAGES WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD. REMEDIATION VARIES. THE CAR MAY RESPOND TO SHIFTING TO PARK AND PUSHING THE IGNITION START/STOP BUTTON TWICE. AT TIMES, THE CAR MAY NOT RESPOND TO SHIFTING TO PARK AND IGNITION BUTTON ACTIONS. THE ONLY FIX THEN SEEMS TO BE A 'HARD' SHUTOFF THAT REQUIRES OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR AND PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON, CLOSING THE DOOR, PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON, AND SHIFTING TO DRIVE. WHEN THE SYSTEM PARTIALLY FAILS, THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING/MITIGATION SYSTEM IS TEMPORARILY DISABLED. MY CAR IS CURRENT ON ALL RECALLS. I RECENTLY HAD DEALER SERVICE, AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE ARE NO KNOWN BULLETINS FOR THIS ISSUE. THE CAR IS CURRENT ON MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND IS OTHERWISE IN VERY GOOD OPERATION CONDITION. THIS SITUATION CAR BE QUITE STRESSFUL WHEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, OR WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT TO MERGE INTO A MAJOR ROAD FROM A STOP. THIS FAILURE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU NEEDED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE QUICKLY, FOR EXAMPLE IF STOPPED NEAR A RAILROAD CROSSING. THE AUTO START/STOP SYSTEM IS ENABLED BY DEFAULT TO IMPROVE FUEL ECONOMY. IT CAN BE MANUALLY DISABLED, HOWEVER IT RESETS WITH EACH SHUTOFF. I WOULD PERMANENTLY DISABLE IT, HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE APPARENTLY FOR EPA REASONS. I HAVE VIDEOS SHOWING THIS BEHAVIOR.

I WAS TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AND MY CAR WOULDN'T STOP. THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T A CAR TO THE RIGHT OF ME SO I SWERVED AND PULLED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. THERE WAS A LIGHT ON THAT SAID BRAKE SYSTEM IN ORANGE. THANK GOD MY TWINS WERE NOT WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT'S A 2020 HONDA ODESSEY WITH LESS THAN 8000 MILES. I BOUGHT I BRAND NEW! I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING TO FIX. THEY DID KEEP IT ANOTHER 24 HOURS TO DRIVE IT AROUND SOME MORE TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I'M WORRIED SICK TO DRIVE THIS AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT! WHAT IF NEXT TIME I AM NOT SO LUCKY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT?!? I SAW OTHERS POST THE SAME THING ON THIS EXACT VEHICLE.
