SERVICE BRAKES
VAN TAKES TOO LONG TO STOP. PEDAL FEELS HIGH, BUT STOPPING TAKES TOO LONG. NEW BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. IT SEEMS MORE PRONOUNCED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
INITIALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT WAS NOT THE IDLE STOP SINCE IT IS DEACTIVATED BEFORE DRIVING. THE DEALER EVENTUALLY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY. THEN THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, THE RADIO WAS REPLACED AFTER A WEEK OF BEING AT THE DEALER. NOW 3 WEEKS AFTER REPAIR, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. HAS A NOISE THAT COMES OUT OF THE SPEAKERS LIKE SPARKS, HAS A CHEMICAL SMELL, NO RES USAGE, NO CABIN WATCH OR CABIN TALK. EVERYTHING THAT MADE THE ELITE TRIM DESIRED DOES NOT WORK.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT MY CAR THE BRAKES HAVE SQUEALED WHEN APPLYING THEM AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE GAS TOOK AN EXTENDED TIME TO WORK. ONCE I WAS TRYING TO SWITCH LANES AND WHEN I ACCELERATED THE VAN DIDN'T GO ANY FASTER AND I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE VAN SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD. EVERYTHING THE VAN SHIFTS AROUND 20-30 MPH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE JOLTS BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERS WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO HONDA'S CORPORATE NUMBER BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES, FLUIDS AND FUEL INJECTORS BUT ALL THE ISSUES STILL REMAIN. I HAVE ALSO HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH THE SOUND SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY BUT HAVE NOT MENTIONED THAT TO THE DEALERSHIP OR HONDA CORPORATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OUR 2019 ODYSSEY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT IT. I TRIED TROUBLE SHOOTING MYSELF FOR AWHILE. FINALLY STARTED TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNING IT AND IT'S BEEN THERE MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. IT HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, BLUETOOTH DOESN'T WORK, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. NOBODY CAN HEAR ME WHEN I TALK TO THEM THROUGH THE BLUE TOOTH OR APPLE CAR PLAY. THE POPPING IN THE DASH BOARD IS AWFUL AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE VAN IS GOING TO CATCH FIRE AT ANY MOMENT. THEY HAVE DONE A DASH HARNESS AND FULL BODY HARNESS ON OUR VAN WITH NO SUCCESS. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING AND THE POPPING IS WHEN THE INFOTAINMENT/RADIO/MUSIC IS PLAYING OR NOT PLAYING. IT'S A SERIOUS HAZARD.

STRUCTURE:BODY
ON DECEMBER 28TH WE UNLOADED THE BACK OF OUR MINIVAN AND CLOSED THE LIFTGATE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE NEXT MORNING WE CAME OUT AND THERE WAS A 5"X5" SECTION OF THE PAINT JUST PEELED OFF AND LAYING ON THE GROUND IT PEELED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BASE COLOR (PERHAPS PRIMER LAYER). REALIZING THIS WAS CLEARLY A DEFECT WE QUICKLY DID OUR RESEARCH AND REALIZED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES, SPECIFIALLY ODYSSEY AND COMMONLY IN THE WHITE PEARL COLOR. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY QUICKLY ASKED IF I WANTED AND ESTIMATE. I EXPLAINTED THAT I WAS AWARE THIS WAS A COMMON DEFECT AT WHICH POINT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PRIMER AND THEY WOULD TAKE IMAGES AND GET IN TOUCH WITH HONDA CORP. HONDA CORP SAID MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION AS THAT ONLY APPLIES TO 2012-2014 MODELS. MY CAR WAS DELIVED IN 2014, BUT WAS THE 2015 MODEL. THEY KNOWINGLY HAVE SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE. THIS SECTION IS CLEARLY GOING TO SPREAD. THE CASES THAT ARE MORE ADVANCED THAN MINE ARE RIDICULOUS.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE FRONT ROTORS WARPED AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEELS AND FRONT END OF THE CAR TO SHAKE WHILING BREAKING AT HIGH SPEED. SHAKING ISN'T NOTICEABLE UNDER 30MPH BUT THE FAST YOU GO, THE WORST THE SHAKING BECOMES. WE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH OUR OLDER 2012 ODYSSEY AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE IT. WHEN I ASK THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL LIST FOR IT AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACE MY BREAKS AND ROTORS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL ISSUES: AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 2 ' 5 MINUTES, ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, REAR ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN AND PARKING SENSORS STOP WORKING. THE SPEAKERS MAKE LOUD POPPING SOUND THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY EVEN WHEN YOU TRY TO POWER OFF RADIO/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WAS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SOUND. ONCE RESTARTED, EVERYTHING WOULD WORK FOR 2 ' 5 MINUTES AND THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN. THE SPEAKERS POPPING WERE VERY LOUD AND DISTRACTING, SCREEN WITH BACKUP CAMERA AND PARKING SENSORS STOPPED WORKING MAKING THE VEHICLE NOT DRIVABLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE LEAK IN ONE OF THE FUEL VALVES WHICH THEN LEAKED ONTO THE ALTERNATOR. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF AT RANDOM SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A LEAKING SPOOL VALVE COVER. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED HER THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD THIS VERY PROBLEM IN MY 2018 EX WITH NAV RES. I'LL BE ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 65MPH+, AND I WILL ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES OR PASS AND THE ENGINE WILL SEEMINGLY STALL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. AS I PRESS THE GAS, THE CAR ACTUALLY DECELERATES AS IF IT'S COASTING IN NEUTRAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT REENGAGES, THE ENGINE REVS A LITTLE, AND THE CAR BEGINS ACCELERATION. I ALSO OFTEN NOTICE THAT THE VAN DOES A SIMILAR THING WHEN I'M ACCELERATING FROM A STOP TO ENTER TRAFFIC OR MAKE A TURN. WHEN I HIT THE GAS, THE CAR COASTS FORWARD FOR A SECOND BEFORE ACTUALLY ACCELERATING. IT IS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THERE HAS BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY 'CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.' TODAY MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD OPEN A CASE WITH HONDA, WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION WAS DISCONTINUED BECAUSE CONSUMERS 'COMPLAINED' AND 'DIDN'T LIKE IT.' THEY FURTHER SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULD NOT FIX IT. IN THE CASE OF MY VAN, IT IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. MY SON IS LEARNING TO DRIVE AND I AM FEARFUL FOR HIS SAFETY. I HAVE FELT IN DANGER IN THIS CAR MYSELF. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT TO WHOM I COULD SPEAK TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS, I WAS DIRECTED TO 'PAGE 2 OF THE ONLINE OWNER'S MANUAL.' THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FREQUENTLY WITHOUT RESOLUTION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN WE START THE ENGINE ALL THE ERRORS COME UP SAYING THAT THE VHS FAILED, THE ELECTRONICS STABILITY FAILED, BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND ALL THE OTHER COMPONENTS. WE HAVE PURCHASED 2 ODYSSEY AND THEY BOTH HAVE THAT PROBLEMS. WHEN WE CALLED HONDA THEY TOLD US TO REPAIR IT AS IT WAS OUR FAULT. AFTER FEW STARTS IT GOES AWAY. WE WENT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THEY RESET THE CODES AND IT HAS GONE AWAY FOR NOW BUT THERE IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE ODYSSEY. SO HONDA HAS RECALLED THE PILOT BUT NOT THE MINI VAN. SAME PROBLEMS.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER GETTING A CAR WASH FROM AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH, WHILE DRIVING TO A PARKING STALL TO VACUUM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING LEFT INTO THE PARKING STALL AND BRAKING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REV'D, ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE OVER A PARKING CURB BLOCK AND INTO A POLE AT THE CAR WASH. THE RESULTING COLLISION HAPPENED ACROSS THE SPAN OF HALF A PARKING SPACE AND KNOCKED THE VEHICLE BACKWARDS A COUPLE FEET AFTER COLLIDING WITH THE POLE. THE COLLISION TRIGGERED BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS AND RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE OF THE CAR WASH.

SEATS
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME SO I HAD TO QUICKLY HIT MY BREAKS TO AVOID A CAR ACCIDENT WITH THE OTHER CAR BUT IN THE PROCESS THE 2ND ROW PASSENGER SEAT THAT IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT AUTOMATICALLY FLIPPED DOWN THEN FLEW FORWARD RAMMING THE BACK OF MY SEAT AND MY BACK VERY HARD. LUCKILY MY SON WAS SITTING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE VAN AND WAS NOT SITTING IN THAT SEAT. BUT THE SEAT KEPT SLAMMING BACK AND FORTH INTO MY BACK UNTIL I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER TO LATCH THE SEAT BACK INTO PLACE. I HAVE TRIED CALLING MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT HAVING MY SEATS CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AFTER THE INCIDENT BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY CANNOT HELP ME. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS NOT JUST ONE BUT TWO RECALLS ON THE 2ND PASSENGER ROW OF MY HONDA ODYSSEY. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK WITH THE NEW INFORMATION ON THE RECALLS, BUT I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUES WITH MY SEATS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE BUT MY LOWER BACK HAS BEEN HURTING EVER SINCE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED BUT IM WORRIED IF I KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE SEAT SHOULD UNLOCK AGAIN THEN IT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE ME/MY BACK EVEN MORE OR WORSE CAUSE ME TO WRECK.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL. THE LAST 2 TIMES I TOOK IT TO WALMART I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY ENGINE. NO LIGHTS CAME ON, THE OIL INDICATOR STATED I STILL HAD LIFE LEFT IN THE OIL. THERE HAS BEEN NO OIL ON THE GROUND. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE ENGINE CAN SEIZE AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DROVE VEHICLE, PARKED, AND KEPT CAR RUNNING. HAD ONLY SET OF KEYS IN HAND WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. USED THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE CAR. COULD NOT UNLOCK THE CAR USING THE KEY FOB OR BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF VAN. AT THE TIME, DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A PHYSICAL KEY IN THE FOB. MY KIDS WERE LOCKED IN THE CAR AND I HAD TO INSTRUCT MY FIVE-YEAR-OLD TO UNBUCKLE THEMSELVES FROM THEIR CARSEAT AND UNLOCK THE DOORS. EVENT OCCURRED LATE 2019. HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUE WHERE I HAVE STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR, WHILE IT IS NOT RUNNING AND MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR, THEY KEYS WERE IN THE CAR, AND WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR, THE DOORS LOCKED. THANKFULLY THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF VAN WORKED TO UNLOCK DOORS, BUT IF IT HADN'T, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE CAR TO GET TO MY KIDS ON A HOT SUMMER DAY. EVENT OCCURRED SUMMER 2019.
