I PURCHASED MY 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY BRAND NEW AND HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON TIME WITH HONDA. MY SLIDING DOORS DO NOT STOP IF SOMETHING IS IN THE WAY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE A CHILD HAS TRIED TO GO IN/OUT WHILE THE DOOR IS SHUTTING AND IT HAS NOT STOPPED, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THEN IN 2018 WITH ONLY 32K MILES OR SO I STARTED TO HEAR A SQUEAL TYPE NOISE AT 2K RPM AND ABOUT 60MPH. IT ONLY HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ON THE ROAD TRIP THEN AGAIN ON MY NEXT ROAD TRIP. HONDA LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW BUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOULD BE CHANGED. IT WAS CHANGED AT 29000 MILES WITH THE 30,000 MILE MAINTENANCE. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY I TOOK IT IN AGAIN, NOW AT 47,000 MILES. HONDA SAYS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS DIRTY AND NEEDS TO HAVE WORK DONE. 4 WEEKS LATER I AM STILL WAITING FOR LOCAL HONDA TO GET OK FROM HEAD HONDA FOR FIX OF THROTTLE CONTROL WHINE. HONDA TECH WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE WHINE/SQUEAL WHILE DRIVING IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DASHBOARD (INCLUDING NOT BUT LIMITED TO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, FUEL LEVEL, CURRENT GEAR, ETC) WENT COMPLETE OFF MOMENTARILY AND THEN RESTARTED ITSELF. AFTER THE DASHBOARD CAME BACK, THE DASHBOARD FLASHED AN ERROR LIKE "ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SYSTEM PROBLEM" FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS NORMALLY UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 DAYS. I COULDN'T GET A PICTURE OF THE ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENED RANDOMLY WITH NO CLEAR INDICATION THAT IT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

PARKED ON A VERY HOT DAY IN A PARKING LOT THE ELECTRIC DOORS WON'T OPEN. IF I DRIVE THE VAN FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND STOP, THE DOORS WILL WORK. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. HONDA CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ON THE INTERNET, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR HONDA VEHICLES. ONE PERSON WROTE THAT HE REPLACED THE POWER ON OFF SWITCH ON THE DASH THAT CONTROLS THE DOORS EVEN THOUGH HIS VEHICLE SHOWED NO COMPUTER CODE ERRORS. HE SAID THAT SO FAR IT SOLVED HIS PROBLEM. HONDA ONLY LOOKS FOR COMPUTER CODE ERROR AND IF THERE IS NO ERROR, THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
ON JULY 2ND OUR VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. PRIOR TO THIS DATE THE VEHICLE WORKED FINE. WE CALL HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY CAME AND JUMPED IT. MY WIFE LET IT IDLE FOR NEARLY 1 HOUR AND TURNED IT OFF. SHE RETURNED AN HOUR LATER ONLY TO FIND IT WAS DEAD AGAIN. I DECIDED TO COME HOME AND JUMPED IT AND DROVE IT DOWN THE HWY. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS SOME VEHICLES SWEARVING AROUND SOME DEBRIS ON THE ROAD AND WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WASN'T ABLE TO STEAR THE VEHICLE FAST ENOUGH AND HIT SOME OF THE DEBRIS. I LET OF THE BRAKE AND THE POWER CAME BACK ON. I DROVE HOME TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART IT AGAIN ONLY TO DISCOVER IT WAS DEAD. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND INSPECTED THE FRONT END WHICH HAD MINOR SCRATCHES AND CUTS IN THE LOWER FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BUMPER

ALL THIS MSONEY SPENT AND CAR STILL DOESN'T WORK RIGHT, NOW IT JUST STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD START FLICKERING THEN CAR STARTS STOPPING ITSELF WHILE ALL LIGHTS GO CRAZY. CAR STARTS STALLING ITSELF WHILE I'M DRIVING MAKING IT EXTREMLY UNPRIDICTABLE AND UNSAFE. CAR HAS GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT MELTED A NEW BATTERY THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH ALTERNATOR. STILL AFTER ALL THIS STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT ALL THE ELECTRICALS GO CRAZY BRAKES, LOCKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE NOW CAR HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. YET NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG.

SLIDING DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE WOULD NOT OPEN BY REMOTE OR MANUAL. SO BACK PASSENGER HAVE ONLY ONE ACCESS DOOR. I THINK THIS POSES AS A SAFETY ISSUE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY THAT WE NEED TO VACATE THE VEHICLE RIGHT AWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WAS POWERED OFF ON LEVEL GROUND, NO LIGHTS, RADIO, NOTHING WAS TURNED ON IN CAR. NO SENSORS DISPLAYED IN DASHBOARD, NO SOUNDS FROM CAR. HATCH WAS LEFT OPENED FOR 2 DAYS FOR AN EVENT. WHEN EVENT OVER, CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID CAR BATTERY DIED. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY BAD BATTERY SINCE NOTHING WAS ON BATTERY SHOULD NOT DRAIN. I SUSPECT IT'S A FUSE ISSUE WITH THE HATCH DOOR DRAINING THE BATTERY NOT A BAD BATTERY.

POWER TRAIN
THE VAN JUDDERS PERIODICALLY AT SPEEDS BELOW 50MPH. THE JUDDERING IS BAD ENOUGH TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TORQUE CONVERTER SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT SOLVING THE ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND JERKS THE VAN RENDERING IT UNSTABLE. MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL.
