ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE FUSES KEEP HAVING TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE WHEN IT TRANSITIONS FROM ECO TO REGULAR THE CAR STUTTERS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STARTS BLINKING. I THEN HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. THE CAR ONLY GOES UP TO LIKE 20MPH THE SLOWLY INCREASES THEN DECREASES AGAIN THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO BUT MAYBE A LITTLE BIT BEFOREHAND...NOT EXACTLY SURE OF THE EXACT DATE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING TO WORK.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING VERY SLOWLY UPHILL IN A HOSPITAL PARKING DECK, THE PRINCIPAL DRIVER OF THE CAR TURNED INTO AN AVAILABLE PARKING SLOT APPLYING SOME GAS, FROM 25-30 FEET AWAY, ONLY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY, EVEN WITH THE DRIVER'S RIGHT FOOT FULLY ENGAGED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VAN JUMPED OVER PARKING BLOCKS AT THE END OF THE SPACE AND STRUCK A CONCRETE POST, WHEREUPON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CRUMPLED AND THE AIRBAGS ENGAGED. THE VAN BOUNCED BACK APPROXIMATELY TWENTY FEET. WITNESSES ATTRACTED BY THE SOUND OF SQUEALING TIRES, REVVING ENGINE NOISE (BEFORE IMPACT) AND THE SUBSEQUENT CRASH ITSELF CAME TO RENDER ASSISTANCE AND CALL POLICE. THE DRIVER'S RIGHT'S FOOT WAS SEVERELY BRUISED BY THE CRASH IMPACT AND HER STERNUM FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS A DECLARED TOTAL LOSS.

STEERING
MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAS DEVELOPED A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. WE'VE REPLACED THE RIMS, TIRES, AND SUSPENSION TO NO AVAIL. THE VIBRATION CAN BE OVERWHELMING AT TIMES. WE ARE UNAWARE OF ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS SINCE IT CAME ON GRADUALLY. IT APPEARS TO BE WORSE IN THE WINTER.

STRUCTURE:BODY
HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE AUTOMATIC FEATURE NOT BEING ABLE TO FULLY CLOSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. TODAY, I TRIED TO OPEN IT BUT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS MAKING GRINDING NOISE AND ONLY OPENING 1/3 OF THE WAY ON THE AUTOMATIC SETTING. I DISENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR FUNCTION AND OPENED IT MANUALLY. SLID OPEN NO PROBLEM. I REENGAGED THE AUTO SETTING WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE THE DOOR. IT STARTED TO SLIDE CLOSE AND A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF WAY, IT FELL AT ME, COMING COMPLETELY OFF THE CAR OTHER THAN A SMALL GUIDE WIRE IN THE CENTER. I CAN NOT GET IT BACK INTO PLACE AND AM LOOKING INTO GETTING IT TOWED TO BE REPAIRED. WHEN THE CENTER ROLLER CAME OFF THE TRACK IT LEFT GIGANTIC GASHES IN THE PAINT/METAL ON THE SIDE OF THE VAN.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THIS MORNING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT ENGAGE. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE WHILE MAKING A GRINDING/SLIPPING SOUND. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT, LESS THAN 5 MPH. I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND REAPPLIED QUICKLY (PUMPED THE BRAKES) BEFORE BRAKES FINALLY ENGAGED. THIS CAUSED ME TO COME VERY CLOSE, ALMOST HITTING THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN THE PARKING LOT. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS FULL AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT FLUID ON THE GROUND BENEATH MY CAR.

POWER TRAIN
THE 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION ON MY 2018 HONDA EX-L ODYSSEY VAN SLIPS. THIS HAS INTERMITTENTLY HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. THE SLIPPAGE OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN STARTING AFTER A STOP. THE ENGINE WILL REV FOR TO A FULL SECOND BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION "CATCHES" AND STARTS TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL START WITH A JERK, OTHER TIMES, THE ACCELERATION WILL BE SLOW. THIS UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD SEVERAL "NEAR MISS" INCIDENTS WHERE THE UNPREDICTABLE TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HONDA NEEDS TO REPAIR IT IMMEDIATELY LEST LIVES BE LOST.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN THE PROCESS OF SHIFTING BETWEEN 3 AND 4TH GEAR VAN SHIFTS VERY HARD . SO MUCH SO THAT AT TIMES MY BODY IS THRUSTED FORWARD WHICH CAUSES ME TO MOMENTARILY LOSE SIGHT OF ROAD. WHILE SHIFTING IT SEEMS TO VEHICLE SEEMS LUNGE AT HIGHER SPEED. THIS OCCURS AT LOW RPM AND WILL USUALLY OCCUR WHEN SPEED HITS 24MPH. HARD SHIFT ALSO OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN BUT NOT AS COMMON . THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING ON STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN IT REQUIRES DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. WHEN VEHICLE WAS 1ST PURCHASED THIS WAS NOT EXPERIENCED, IT WAS UNTIL AFTER 6 MONTHS THAT THIS STARTED OCCURRING. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT VEHICLE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE AND INFORMED ME THAT VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS INTENDED. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP SINCE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THEY SUGGESTED I REVIEW MY CONSUMER RIGHTS BROCHURE IF I WANTED TO TAKE ADDITIONAL ACTION. THERE ARE VARIOUS POST ONLINE WITH EXACT SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND FEEL THERE IS FLAW IN THE DESIGN WHICH HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY NOR WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION LEAK. AS PART OF POWER TRAIN, THE RACK AND PINION LEAK CREATES SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. TURNING EFFECTS DRIVING AND PINGS, KNOCKS ARE HEARD @ 52,000 MILES. WE HAVE LIFETIME UNLIMITED MILES AND YEARS WARRANTY FROM DEALER. WARRANTY COMPANY AND DEALERSHIP PARTED WAYS SO BRANDON HONDA VERBALLY REFUSES TO FIX PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE. SINCE IT'S NOT A RECALL, DEALER SHOULD FIX UNDER OUR WARRANTY. WHILE SITTING, POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKS FROM RACK AND PINION. SEALS/GASKETS, WHATEVER ELSE REASON FOR LEAK WHICH IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX. WE REPLACED A CV JOINT AT OUR EXPENSE THIS YEAR. ALL THE STEERING AND POWERTRAIN PARTS ARE LISTED UNDER POWERTRAIN ON HONDA WEBSITE'S PARTS PAGE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2018 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL RESNAV W/ 9SPEED AT ASIDE FROM THE TRANSMISSION I ALSO WROTE UP OUR ODYSSEY HAS USED THE COLLISION MITIGATION AUTO BRAKING SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES TO NOT JUST SLOW BUT COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN JUST ONCE. OR JUST TO MY WIFE THE PRIMARY DRIVER. IT'S HAPPENED TO BOTH OF US MULTIPLE TIMES. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE HAVING THE CAR 'TAKE THE CONTROLS' AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU HAVE THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED TO PASS A VEHICLE THIS IS UNSAFE. DOUBLY SO WHEN THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU ANTICIPATES YOUR ACCELERATION AND NEARLY REAR ENDS YOU. OR THE TIME MY WIFE HAD A CAR CROSS TRAFFIC LEFT TO RIGHT TOO CLOSE TO HER AND THE SURROUNDING VEHICLES TURNING INTO THE LOCAL CHICK FIL A. THE VEHICLES TO HER LEFT AND RIGHT WERE ABLE TO SLOW AND THEN PROCEED. OUR ODYSSEY STOPPED DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 6 LANE ROAD THAT USUALLY RUNS 45. SHE WAS NEARLY HIT DUE TO THE OVERLY AGGRESSIVE STOP FROM THE CMBS. TURNING LEFT WITH A GREEN ARROW THE VAN WILL EVEN ATTEMPT TO STOP WHEN IT DETECTS TRAFFIC SITTING ON THE OPPOSING SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION YIELDING RIGHT OF WAY. AND WILL ALSO LOCK ON TO VEHICLES TURNING LEFT FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND STOP. THIS IS COMPLETELY AND 100% UNACCEPTABLE, UNSAFE AND HAS DESTROYED MY OPINION OF HONDA WHICH WAS STERLING UP UNTIL NOW. WE MAY BE TRADING THIS THING SOON.

POWER TRAIN
OWNER OF 2018 ODYSSEY EXL RESNAV W/ 9SPEED AT WIFE IS PRIMARY DRIVER AND WE RECENTLY RETURNED FROM A ROAD TRIP. VEHICLE PERFORMS VERY SMOOTHLY 95% OF THE TIME. THE OTHER 5% YOU CAN EXPECT ABRUPT AND VIOLENT UP AND DOWN SHIFTS. FURTHER, THIS IS THE SAFETY VS ANNOYANCE ISSUE, THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS IS A FACTOR THREAT WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. HESITATION CAN AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HONDA OF NA NEEDS TO GET TO WORK AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE HURT.
