BATTERY EXACTLY AFTER 3YRS 3 WEEKS BATTERY DIED AS IF LIKE TRIGGER EVENT. IT'S SUCH SHAME FOR HONDA TO TAKE THESE KIND OF CHEAP BATTERY. NOW I HAVE REPLACED WITH NEW BATTERY WHICH COMES WITH 100 MONTH WARRENTY I AM SURPRISED WHY HONDA CANT GIVE WITH NEW CAR SIMILAR BATTERY WARRENTY SOUNDS LIKE A RIPOFF

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NAVIGATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. ON APPROXIMATELY 8/16 OR 8/17/2017, THE CLOCK DISPLAYED ON THE NAVIGATION SCREEN BECAME STUCK AT "0:00". I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS AFFECTS THE ACTUAL NAVIGATION FUNCTION, GPS SYSTEM, OR OTHER ELECTRICAL (OR NON-ELECTRICAL) COMPONENTS. I BELIEVE THE DVD-BASED NAVIGATION SYSTEM HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE WAS MANUFACTURED BY ALPINE FOR HONDA (AND MANY OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS). I HAVE UPDATED MY MAP/SOFTWARE DVD TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2002. I HAVE TURNED THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, REMOVED THE SOFTWARE/MAPS DVD AND REINSERTED IT, AND PERFORMED MANY OTHER ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, ALL WITHOUT SUCCESS.

ENGINE
MY VERY NEW 2017 HONDA ODYSSEY (ODY EX-L 6AT) WAS 1307 MILES DRIVEN. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SUDDENLY SHOWED LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEEDLE WAS AT THE H MARK AND THEN SMOKY FUMES WITH SMELL OF BURNT RUBBER CAME FROM THE ENGINE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR AND TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RELATED TO COOLANT LEAK AT THERMOSTAT HOUSING RESULTING IN BLOWN HEAD CASKET THAT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO ENGINE.THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE CAR UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN HONDA SELL SUCH DEFECTIVE FAMILY CARS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AND NOW HOW CAN I TRUST THEIR WORKMANSHIP IN FIXING THIS CAR ??

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ROADS @55+ MPH AND APPLYING BRAKES, THE STEERING WHEEL AND VAN BEGIN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT OF LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS BEHAVIOR BEGAN AROUND 25K MILES AND HAS INCREASED IN OCCURANCE AND INTESITY. ONLINE RESEARCH SUGGESTS BAD ROTORS BUT HONDA REFUSES TO RECALL. DEFECTIVE ROTORS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I LEASE A 2016 HONDA ODYSSEY. UPON ARRIVING HOME, I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY EXTREMELY SLOW. I WAS PUTTING THE BRAKE ON. THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION. WHEN I MOVED THE CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT HIT THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE DISLODGING FOURTEEN BRICKS. THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. I HAVE BLACK AND BLUES AND THE RESIDUE FROM THE AIRBAG BURNED MY FINGER. THE VEHICLE IS BEING EVALUATED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I LEASED IT FROM.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY @ 55MPH AND APPLYING BRAKES, THE STEERING SHAKES/VIBRATES VIOLENTLY. WE ONLY HAVE 39K MILES ON THE CAR. WE LIVE IN SOUTH-EASTERN CONNECTICUT AND WE DON'T DRIVE FAST ANYWHERE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH HONDA HAS HAD BAD ROTORS AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE PART ON THEIR TIME AND COST. ONLINE FORUMS INDICATE HONDA HAVE REDESIGNED THE ROTOR, WHICH HAS ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUES HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR DRIVING STYLE BUT WITH OUR FAULT FART. I AM REQUESTING YOUR SUPPORTING IN ASKING HONDA TO DO A VOLUNTARY RECALL/REPLACE ON THIS FAULTY PART.

SEATS
WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF MY STOPPED STUDDENLY, SO I DID TOO. WHEN I STOPPED, THE CAPTAIN CHAIR ON THE SECOND ROW BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT RELEASED THROWING MY 2 YEAR OLD INTO THE BACK OF THE DRIVER SEAT. BESIDES HITTING HIS NOSE PRETTY HARD THERE ARE NO OTHER INJURIES. WE ARE A BIT NERVOUS TO DRIVE OUR VAN AS THE CAPTAIN SEAT SHOULD STAY PUT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I DID NOT GET ANY PICTURES OF THE ACTUAL SEAT TIPPED FORWARD AS MY TOP PIRORITY WAS TO GET MY SON INTO PROPER UPRIGHT POSITION, BUT I DID GET SOME PICTURES OF THE AFTERMATH.

POWER TRAIN
A FEW MONTHS AFTER OUR PURCHASE THE ODYSSEY SEEMED TO JERK AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TAKING OFF (CITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC). WE MENTIONED THIS AT OUR SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NORMAL WITH THE ECO. LAST WEEK MY FAMILY HEADING OUT ON VACATION. ABOUT 6 HOURS, HIGHWAY DRIVING, INTO OUR DRIVE WE CAME UPON HEAVY TRAFFIC. WE HAD SEVERAL MILES OF STOP AND GO. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SLAM INTO GEAR AND THEN THE VAN WOULD JERK THEN MOVE. THIS CONTINUED FROM A COMPLETE STOP TO A SLOW ROLL WHEN SHE ACCELERATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 7 EVENTS THROUGH OUT THE CONGESTED AREA ABOUT 40 MIN. WE FINALLY CLEARED TRAFFIC AND STOPPED FOR REST AND FUEL AND CONTINUED ON. THE SYMPTOM DID NOT RETURN FOR THE REMAINDER OF OUR TRIP HOWEVER, WE DID NOT HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AS WE DID WHEN WE STARTED. I BEGAN TO RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BE SOLVED. IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AND SEEMS TO RESET TO NORMAL WHEN THE VAN IS TURNED OFF. I AM HEADING TO THE DEALER TO GET OUR VAN LOOKED AT AND DOCUMENT IN THEIR SYSTEM.
