I CANNOT OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. (IT IS NOT A POWER SLIDING DOOR) IT WAS STEADILY GETTING HARDER TO OPEN. I BARELY GOT IT CLOSED AS IT WOULD ONLY OPEN A SHORT DISTANCE AND I COULD BARELY SLIDE IT CLOSED. NOW I AM AFRAID TO TRY TO OPEN IT AS I AM AFRAID IT WILL GET STUCK OPEN AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO CLOSE IT AT ALL.

OUR NEW 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY EX HAS FAILED TWICE TO RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE AND PUSHED ME OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY AFTER PRESSING THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE RESPONDED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON A FREEWAY TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR COASTING BEHIND TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN, THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND THE FIRST TIME I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER ABOUT THE THIRD ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE RESPONDED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY KEPT OVERNIGHT TO TEST IT WHEN IT WAS COLD AND RAN DIAGNOSTICS. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HOPE THEY FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE THIS CAR KILLS ME.

THE VAN WILL STALL AFTER STOPPING. WHILE TURNING RIGHT, I STOP AT A STOP SIGN, WAITING AND WHEN IT'S SAFE, GO TO START TO TURN, PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VAN WILL STALL. IT WILL TAKE ME RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHING IT AGAIN TO GET IT TO MOVE AGAIN. THIS IS TERRIFIYING. THIS HAS HAPPENED UPWARDS OF 20 PLUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VAN IN AUGUST 2017.

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIDDLE ROW SEAT'S SEAT BACK OF OUR 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. NO ONE CAN SIT IN THAT SEAT BECAUSE THE SEAT BACK EITHER RECLINES BACK OR FOLDS FORWARD. WHEN UNOCCUPIED AND THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT WILL ADJUST ON ITS OWN AT TIMES (YOU HEAR THE CLICKING/GRINDING). UPON DISCOVERING THIS ISSUE IN LATE DECEMBER 2017, WE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED USING THE SEAT (DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS INCONVENIENCE THIS CAUSED TO TRANSPORTING OUR FAMILY OF 6) AND CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE (CASE NUMBER 06564580) AND WERE ADVISED THAT THE SEAT BACK ISSUE WAS NOT PART OF THE TWO OTHER RECALLS INVOLVING THE ODYSSEY'S MIDDLE ROW SEATS AND TO TAKE OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. WE REMOVED THE SEAT FROM THE VEHICLE UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT INSPECTED GIVEN OUR CONCERN FOR MIDDLE AND THIRD ROW PASSENGER SAFETY. ON JANUARY 15, 2018, THE DEALER INSPECTED THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM WAS BROKEN. WHEN I ASKED HOW THIS HAPPENED, THE SERVICE REP COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE DEFINITIVELY, BUT HE SPECULATED PERHAPS SOMEONE FORCED IT TO RECLINE OR "SOMEONE HAD A BAD DAY AT THE FACTORY." I FIND THE FORMER CAUSE SUSPECT. REGARDLESS, I QUESTION WHY A SEAT BACK IN A MOTOR VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND FORCES ASSOCIATED WITH NORMAL PASSENGER USE GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT FORCES THAT COULD OCCUR IN THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT OF A HIGH SPEED MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISON. ULTIMATELY, I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW SEAT BACK FRAME - 81726-TK8-A22 -- 530.00 - TO RENDER THE EXISTING SEAT FUNCTIONAL AGAIN. SEE ATTACHED INVOICE AND PHOTOS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
OUR 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE HAS A FEATURE CALLED IDLE STOP. THE FEATURE HAS MANY CRITERIA THAT MUST BE MET BEFORE IT WILL ACTIVATE. IT SHOULD JUST TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE CRITERIA HAVE BEEN MET IN AN EFFORT TO CONSERVE FUEL IN LIEU OF IDLING. WE ARE SEEING A RANDOM ISSUE WHEN THIS FEATURE ACTIVATES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF THE CAR ENTIRELY AND PLACE IT IN PARK. WE MUST MANUALLY START OUR VEHICLE AGAIN THEN PLACE IT BACK IN DRIVE TO PROCEED. WE'VE HAD IT HAPPEN THREE TIMES. ALL HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT STOP LIGHTS FOLLOWING A COMPLETE STOP. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE TOOK PLACE AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE HIGHWAY. I'M CONCERNED WE WILL BE REAR ENDED DUE TO OUR VEHICLE BEING DISABLED AT AN INTERSECTION. IT'S CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIFTH TIME (MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE) TO HOPEFULLY FIND A SOLUTION.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SECOND HAND IN 2012 AND IMMEDIATELY NEEDED TO HAVE ITS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,000. EVEN NOW THERE IS OCCASIONAL SLIPAGE OF THE NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH INDICATES TO ME IT MAY NOT BE LONG FOR THIS WORLD. IT'S PAINFULLY OBVIOUS HONDA BUILT AND INSTALLED SUP PAR TRANSMISSIONS FOR MANY YEARS, DESPITE MOUNTAINS OF COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS. THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN TO TASK FOR POOR DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

IN FALL 2016, THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED A MISFIRE ENGINE READING ON MY VAN. I HAD TAKEN IT IN AT LEAST TWO OTHER TIMES BECAUSE OF SLUGGISH ACCELERATION OR VEHICLE DYING WHILE AT A STOP. IN SPRING 2017, THE VAN BECAME DISABLED AT AN INTERSECTION AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CAUSE WAS THE SAME MISFIRE CODE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10099308 MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: WE - A13-080, THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. BUT BECAUSE OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY'S 8YR FROM DATE OF PURCHASE TIMEFRAME, HONDA CORP. DENIED MY REPAIRS BECAUSE IT WAS THREE MONTHS OUT OF THE 8YR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I COMMUNICATED WITH HONDA BACK AND FORTH URGING THEM TO FIX THE VAN ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPAIR HAD BEEN ADDRESS BEFORE AND IT WAS THREE MONTHS OUT OF THEIR CLASS ACTION AGREEMENT. ULTIMATELY, THEY DENIED COVERAGE OF ANY REPAIRS.
