THERE IS RUST OVER THE REAR WHEELS ON BOTH SIDES. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON ALMOST EVERY SINGLE SIMILAR HONDA ODYSSEY, SAME MODEL AS THE 2006 MODEL I OWN. THE RUST IS ON THE BODY PANELS IMMEDIATELY OVER THE REAR WHEELS, ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDES. THIS HAS HAPPENED GRADUALLY, AND OCCURS ON NO OTHER PART OF THE VEHICLE, SO IT IS A QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE.

WHEN ITS HEAVILY RAIN AND WIND, WATER COMES INSIDE THROUGH THE ROOF TOP ANTENNA WHILE DRIVING IN AVERAGE SPEED. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP(DAVID MCDAVID HONDA OF FRISCO) CHECK INTO THIS ONCE, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THEY TRIED BY USING A GARDEN HOSE, BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE. THEY CONFIRM WITH ME THAT THEY SAW WATER MARKS ON THE ROOF UPHOLSTERY.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON OCTOBER 21, 2017, WE WERE HEADING TO CABELAS AN OUTDOOR SPORTING GOODS STORE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY STOP SIGNS AND DID NOT NOTICE THE CAR COMING FROM THE LEFT OF ME. BY THE TIME I DID NOTICE I SLAMMED MY BREAKS BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. THE AIRBAGS FOR THIS VAN DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON FOR AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED. ALSO, THE FRONT SEAT BELTS BECAME LOCKED AFTER THE COLLISION. I WAS LEFT WONDERING WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY VAN HOME BUT SHOULD HAVE NOT DONE SO SINCE THE SEATS WERE LOCKED.

THE VAN HAS POWER SLIDING DOORS. EVER SINCE IT WAS NEW, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS NOT CLOSING. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS BECAUSE WE LIVE ON GRAVEL. I FINALLY TOOK THE VAN APART MYSELF AND FOUND THAT THE RUBBER COATING HAD COME OFF THE CABLE THAT CLOSES THE DOOR AND BUNCHED UP AND WOULD LET IT SLIDE FREELY. I BOUGHT A NEW AND WITHIN A MONTH IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. THE COATING WAS COMING OFF. WE JUST TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA AND WERE TOLD AGAIN IT WAS DUST BUT THE COATING IS COMING OFF THE OTHER SIDE AND JAMMING IT UP TOO. MY WIFE HIT A DEER RECENTLY AND THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. THE POWER DOOR WOULDN'T SLIDE AND WHEN YOU PUT IT ON MANUAL MODE WHICH SHUTS THE DOORS OFF, IT WON'T SLIDE EITHER AND MY WIFE HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE FRONT SEAT AND GET MY SON OUT OF HIS SEAT. IF THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. WORST PART, MY WIFE SAYS THAT IT HAS NEVER WORKED AND SHE ASKED HONDA ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE LIVE ON GRAVEL. NOW THAT OUR WARRANTY IS UP, THEY WANT TO SELL US A BUNCH OF NEW PARTS. I JUST ASK THAT SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FACTOR. I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE PRETTY STRONG AND I CAN'T SIT ON THE INSIDE THE VAN AND FORCE IT OPEN SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY KIDS WOULD DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T WANT TO TURN. IT TAKES BETWEEN 5 TO 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO FINALLY TURN SO I HAVE TO LEAVE A KEY IN THE VAN AND NOT TAKE IT OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK. ONCE I TAKE IT OUT I SPEND ANOTHER 5 TO 10 MINUTES TURNING UNTIL IT FINALLY TURNS OVER.

I STOPPED BEHIND A CAR WAITING TO MERGE FROM A PARKING LOT TO HIGHWAY 193. THE CAR AHEAD PULLED OUT A LITTLE. THEN APPARENTLY CHANGING HIS MIND, HE BACKED UP INTO ME. I HAD NOT PULLED FORWARD, BUT HE STILL TOTALED MY CAR. SURPRISINGLY, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE. THE COLLISION BENT MY HOOD, CRACKED THE GRILL, BROKE THE BUMPER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HORN ON 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY (ELITE & TOURING TRIM LEVELS) FOR SURE. HORN IS A SINGLE TONE LOW NOTE AND IS BARELY NOTICEABLE AND WOEFULLY INADEQUATE. YESTERDAY WHILE TRAVELING ON A NOT VERY BUSY COUNTRY ROAD, I ACTIVATED HORN AT ABOUT A DOZEN BUZZARDS FEASTING ON SOME ROADKILL IN THE ROADWAY AND HAD TO COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THEY MOVED. THEY WERE MORE INTIMIDATED BY PRESENCE OF MY VEHICLE THAN HORN BLARING AT THEM. SOUNDS STUPID, I KNOW, BUT IT EMPHASIZES PROBLEM. HORN IS ALMOST ENTIRELY UNNOTICEABLE AND DOES NOT GET OR ATTRACT ATTENTION, WHICH MAKES IT A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN. IT DOES NOT "COMMAND" YOUR ATTENTION AND IS NOT EASILY HEARD OVER AMBIENT NOISES. HORN ON MY PREVIOUS 2013 ODYSSEY WAS A DUAL TONE HORN AND MUCH LOUDER AND DREW ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THE FACTORY INSTALLED HORN MEETS FEDERAL STANDARDS FOR DECIBEL LEVEL. NOT THAT IT MATTERS BUT IT JUST SOUNDS PITIFUL COMING FROM AN ALMOST $50,000 FAIRLY LARGE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS TRULY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS SAFETY ITEM AND I BELIEVE IT IS ENOUGH OF A CONCERN TO REPLACE THIS LOUSY HORN WITH A MUCH LOUDER DUAL TONE HORN AT MY OWN EXPENSE. SOMEONE THERE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE COMES INTO PLAY AT ANY TIME THE HORN IS NEEDED TO ATTRACT ATTENTION OR ALERT SOMEONE TO ANY NUMBER OF SITUATIONS AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 41 IN ACWORTH, GA, WITH MY 2 KIDS IN THE CAR, AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD "POP." IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING EXPLODED, BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I THEN HEARD THE SOUND OF WIND, THINKING ONE OF MY KIDS ROLLED DOWN ONE OF THE WINDOWS, BUT I CHECKED THEM ALL AND THEY HAD NOT. I OPENED THE SHADE COVER FOR THE SUNROOF, TO FIND A HUGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, AND THE REST OF THE GLASS SPIDER WEBBED/SHATTERED. I QUICKLY CLOSED IT AND GOT HOME TO FURTHER INSPECT. WE WERE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAPPENED, BUT SPENT $800 HAVING IT REPAIRED (AND THAT WAS WITH A USED SUNROOF).

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
VERY VIOLENT VIBRATION WHEN BRAKES APPLIED EVEN AT RELATIVELY SLOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY GOING DOWNHILL. VEHICLE BECOMES HARD TO CONTROL. HIGH SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING IT IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND CHILDREN ARE OFTEN PRESENT IN THE CAR. DEALERSHIPS AND HONDA US DO NOT COOPERATE ON THE ISSUE. THEY SOLUTION IS TO RE SURFACE FONT BRAKE ROTORS OR REPLACE THEM WITH NEWER VERSION. THE FACT THAT THERE IS A NEWER IMPROVED VERSION OF ROTORS IS AN ADMISSION BY HONDA THAT ORIGINAL BRAKE ROTORS ARE EITHER DEFECTIVE OR HAVE DESIGN FLAW. I HOPE NHTSA ACTS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED IN THE CRASH.

LOCATION, STATEN ISLAND, NY. DATE, 10/29/2017. TIME, ABOUT 9:45PM. DROVE OVER A FEW PUDDLES IN POURING RAIN AND A HILLY ROAD. SUDDENLY, THE CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. A MINUTE LATER, IT WAS RESTORED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. THEN IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY HOME. EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IF THE LOSS OF ALTERNATOR POWER CAN IMMEDIATELY CAUSE LOST OF STEERING.

TAKATA RECALL IN JANUARY, 2014, I LEFT THE ROAD TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR, HIT A DEER-CROSSING SIGN WHICH THEN DEPLOYED THE DRIVERS AIRBAG. THE AIRBAG BLASTED OUT TO THE RIGHT OF THE STEERING WHEEL THUS HITTING MY RIGHT ARM. MY RIGHT ARM WAS BROKEN AND REQUIRED SURGERY TO REPAIR. 2 TITANIUM PLATES AND 15 SCREWS. BLACK CLOUD OF WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN A PROPELLANT WAS PUMPED INTO MY FACE AND UPPER BODY. THE SKIN ON MY RIGHT HAND PEELED 4 TIMES.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I STOPPED AT A T-INTERSECTION AND TURNED RIGHT. AS SOON AS I MADE THE TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN SHIFTING ODDLY. IT WAS GOING TO VERY HIGH RPMS BEFORE IT WOULD SHIFT. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT OVERHEATING. WE WERE ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD SO I BEGAN LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PULL OVER. I CHECKED MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW THE CAR BEHIND ME FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AND HONKING THEIR HORN. AT THAT POINT I NOTICED SMOKE IN THE REAR VIEW. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I DID, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WENT UP IN FLAMES. MY PREGNANT WIFE AND I GOT OUR THREE LITTLE CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR EXTREMELY QUICKLY AND THEY GOT BACK DOWN THE ROAD A WAYS TO GET AWAY FROM THE BURNING VEHICLE. I BEGAN THROWING CAR SEATS AND OTHER THINGS OUT OF THE CAR AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, BUT WITHIN TWO MINUTES AFTER I STOPPED THE CAR, THE FLAMES WERE TO BIG TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR IT. THE CAR BURNED EXTREMELY FAST AND THE FIRE WAS EXTREMELY HOT, COMPLETELY DESTROYING THE CAR.
