POWER TRAIN
WE HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES, BEGINNING AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES WITH A NOTICEABLE JUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 117,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM ON AVERAGE ABOUT 10,000 MILES AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. THIS COINCIDES WITH NHTSA REFERENCE #10084801. AS OF YET, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY RESOLUTION TO THE TSB, AND I AM GROWING FRUSTRATED BY THE SUGGESTED "SOLUTION" OF TRIPLE CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY TIME THE SYMPTOMS SURFACE EVERY 10-15,000 MILES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EXPLODING SUNROOF. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK EARLY ONE MORNING AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG/POP THEN IMMEDIATELY HEARD AIR AS IF MY SUNROOF WAS OPEN. I VERY CAREFULLY OPENED MY SLIDER AND SAW THAT MY SUNROOF HAD A HUGE HOLE IN IT. THANK GOODNESS THE GLASS WAS ON THE SLIDER BECAUSE HAD THE SLIDER BEEN OPEN- THE GLASS WOULD HAVE SHATTERED EVERYWHERE AND HIT MY THREE CHILDREN. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND NOTHING WAS COVERED. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO COVER THIS WHEN I DID NOTHING TO THE CAR. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE CROSSTOWN TOP DECK IN TAMPA FLORIDA WITH NOTHING AROUND WHEN I HEARD THE LOUD BANG. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE HIT MY CAR IN THAT DIRECTION AS HONDA SAID THAT WAS WHAT HAD TO HAVE HAPPENED BECAUSE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
15MAY2018. IN A SLOW TRAFFIC, I FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION ON THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. WHILE TURNING ON AGAIN, THE ENGINE STARTS UP, BUT DIES AGAIN. A RED WARNING FLASHES SHOWING BATTERY AND OIL SYMBOLS. THE SAME REPEATED . VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC. WHEN THE MECHANIC STARTED, ENGINE RUNS FINE. MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSTICS DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DROVE BACK HOME 60 MILES AWAY. NO ISSUES. FEARING FOR MY LIFE, IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ON HIGHWAY.

STRUCTURE:BODY
DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR HANDLE FOR SLIDING DOOR CAME OFF IN MY HAND WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET MY CHILD OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN 2016. TOOK VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND THEY STATED THAT THE HANDLE MUST HAVE COME OFF DUE TO ALLEGED AND IMPOSSIBLE "DAMAGE" EVEN THOUGH THE HANDLE WAS NEVER SUBJECTED TO ANYTHING BUT NORMAL EVERYDAY USE. IN 2018, THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CAME OFF IN THE SAME MANNER EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE CAREFUL WITH THE HANDLES AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. REPORTED SECOND INCIDENT TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DEALER SERVICE SHOP. BOTH SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH DOOR HANDLES FALLING OFF RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE WITH NORMAL USE. VERY UNSAFE TO BE UNPREDICTABLY PREVENTED FROM GETTING YOUR CHILD OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NORMAL AND THE NEXT MOMENT MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS AS NORMAL AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV WITHOUT PROPELLING MY VEHICLE ANY FARTHER. I SLOWED DOWN AND THEN COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I EXPERIMENTED ONCE I WAS SAFELY OFF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RE ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. IT LET ME GO FOR ANOTHER FEW MILES THEN I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED TO DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANICS SHOP AND ON THE WAY IT STOPPED AND WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. I WAS ONLY ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF FROM MY HOME. FITTINGLY ENOUGH I HAD TO PARK IT IN THE PARKING LOT OF A BUSINESS. THAT BUSINESS WAS A FUNERAL HOME. ALL THIS TOOK PLACE ON A CITY STREET WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING, I WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY A CO-WORKER WHO WAS GOING TO GIVE ME A RIDE AFTER I DROPPED IT OFF. TO BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, I WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE ERUPTED REVVING AND AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT SLOWED OBVIOUSLY BUT THE SECOND I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL AGAIN IT WAS REV WITH NO MOTION. NOW I HAVE A VAN WITH A NEW TIMING BELT, NEW REAR BRAKE LIGHT (I PUT IN MYSELF) AND NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES AND WHEELS. WHAT A SHAME THE PUBLIC WASN'T PROTECTED FROM THIS BETTER. SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL ON ALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND BE MADE RIGHT. MY MECHANIC CANT EVEN FIND ONE FOR LESS THAN $1500 WHICH IS INSANE. HE HAD A QUOTE FOR $2400 AND I ONLY PAID $3700 FOR THE VAN IN JUNE OF 2014. THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION WITH OUT DOUBT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING, INSTRUMENT LIGHTS ALL COME AND SOON AFTER CAR WILL JUST STOP RUNNING, SOMETIMES LIGHTS WILL JUST STAY ON. SO FAR ITS AT LOW SPEEDS, ON TAKE OFF OR COMING TO A STOP. IF I LET THE CAR SIT A FEW MINUTES I CAN RESTART IT.THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK IT TO HONDA AND COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. FROM GOING ON LINE I SEE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER PEOPLES MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS IT WAS FINALLY ISOLATED MOSTLY TO REPLACEMENT OF A PART IN THE IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY. SOME WERE A FRACTURE IN ALTERNATOR BRACKET, OR OEM DISTRIBUTOR ASSEMBLY (IGNITER SWITCH MODULE) IF IT HAS ONE OR A SENSOR IF NOT A DISTRIBUTOR. ALL REPAIRS WERE DONE ON VARIOUS YEARS AND MODELS OF HONDA'S BUT ALL HAVING IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR GLASS SEPARATED FROM ITS FRAMEWORK/BRACKET AND FELL INTO THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT THE TIME - MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT I BELIEVE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE WE WERE GETTING THE VERY COSTLY REPAIR DONE, ANOTHER WOMAN WAS THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE - I JUST HAPPENED TO OVERHEAR HER - RIGHT AFTER THE MAINTENANCE REP INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT HAPPENING. I AM SUBMITTING IT NOW BECAUSE I REALIZE IF PEOPLE DON'T SPEAK UP, NOTHING WILL BE INVESTIGATED. WE NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE AND WE GAVE ALL THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO THE GAL WE SOLD IT TO. IT WAS REPAIRED BY PARK HONDA IN AKRON OHIO AND WE CAN ONLY ESTIMATE THE TIMEFRAME AND THE MILEAGE. IF NEEDED, I COULD TRY TO FIND OLD CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS THAT MIGHT NARROW IT DOWN.
