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

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!!

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.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T SHUT ON MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. I PARKED THE VAN IN A PARKING GARAGE AND WE SHUT ALL THE DOORS THE PASSENGER WOULD ONLY SHUT HALF WAY AND THEN RE-OPEN. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF TRYING TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS STUCK I CALLED AAA AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT LEAVE MY CHILDREN ALONE WHILE I DRIVE THE VAN OUT OF THE GARAGE AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT DRIVE WITH THEM IN THE VAN WITH THE DOOR OPEN WE HAD TO WAIT 3 HOURS FOR A TRUCK THAT WOULD FIT IN A GARAGE. AAA FINALLY CAME AND SAID THEY COULD NOT TOW THE VAN BECAUSE THE DOOR MUST BE SHUT FOR LIABILITY AND SAFETY REASONS. SO I AM STUCK IN A GARAGE WITH 4 KIDS AND NO ONE CAN HELP ME. AT THIS TIME MY FIANC SHOWED UP (WE WERE OUT OF TOWN ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME) AND AAA AND HE DECIDED TO CUT THE CABLE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE DOOR AND THE DOOR SHUT.. BUT THE DOOR IS BROKEN. I CALLED HONDA OWNER AND MADE A COMPLAINT BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S JUST NOTED NO ACTION IS TAKEN IN THE MEAN WHILE MY ALMOST $30,000 VAN HAS A BROKEN DOOR THEY CAN IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA (THEY WERE NOT VERY NICE) IT SEEMS ALL ABOUT THE$$ AND NOT THE SAFETY OF THEIR HONDA OWNERS. THEY SAID THEY WILL LOOK AT MY CAR FOR A FEE OF$140.. I LOOKED UP PARTS ONLINE AND $400 + SO THAT PLUS WHAT EVER THEY CHARGE ME TO FIX PROBABLY $1000 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. PEOPLE WHO USUALLY GET VANS ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MULTIPLY CHILDREN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO ADDRESSED ASAP IT'S CHILD INDANGERMENT TO HAVE A OPEN DOOR WHILE YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AND WHAT IF I HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE BECAUSE I HAD NO ONE THEN IT WOULD NOT BE SECURE IT WOULD BE WIDE OPEN.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP THIS NOT SOMETHING ANY PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH. THUS SITUATION MADE ME FEEL HELPLESS MY KIDS WERE TIRED, HUNGRY AND HAD TO USE THE BATHROOM AND I WAS HELPLESS. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES UP AND ENGINE IS BURING OIL. DEALERSHIP CHECKED AFTER 500 MILES AND SAID IT IS BURNING OIL. TOLD ME TO KEEP CHECKING OIL LEVEL AND IF LOW TOP IT OFF TILL THE NEXT LIGHT COMES UP SO THAT THEY CAN GET DIAGNOSTOC CODE. DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. THIS IS A NEW VAN AND PURCHASED NEW AND 2 YEARS BACK AND NOW HAS ONLY 31000 MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING OVER 100 MILES THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP CAUSING A SAFETY PROBLEM HONDA KNOWS THIS AS THEY HAVE A NEW ROTOR THAT IS VENTED (SEE BULLETIN A14-00080) THAT FITS FROM 2011 TO 2014 ODYSSEY I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A DANGEROUS THING BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON THE CAR

WHEN PULLING OUT AFTER A STOP SIGN OR TURNING RIGHT AFTER A FULL STOP THE TRANSMISSION WILL VIOLENTLY JERK THE CAR FORWARD. HONDA RECOMMENDED FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION TWO TIMES TO FIX "MANUFACTURER DEFECT" AND IT DID NOT WORK, ACTUALLY IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FLUSHING, WE PAID $297 AND NOT FIXED.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION BUCKING AT LOW SPEED AFTER DRIVING A WHILE. WHEN I DRIVE MY VAN OFF THE DRIVE WAY, EVERYTHING BEHAVES NORMALLY. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO. AFTER ON THE FREEWAY FOR 30 MINUTES OR LONGER WHILE STOPPING AT THE OFF RAMP WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT, THE VANS HAS PROBLEM TRYING TO SHIFT BETWEEN SPEED OF 20-40MPH. THE VANS BODY SHAKES VIOLENTLY AS IF IT WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH MULTIPLE LOW SPEED BUMPS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS DIFFICULTY HUNTING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR. I CAN SEE THE RPM MOVING UP AND DOWN CRAZILY AS IF IT ENGAGES A LOWER GEAR AND IMMEDIATELY DECIDES TO SWITCH TO HIGHER GEAR MULTIPLE TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS MOST PROMINENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT COMPLETE STOPS AND TRYING TO SPEED UP ON THE INCLINE STREET. WHEN IT IS ON HIGH SPEED, SUCH AS 50 MPH AND ABOVE, IT DRIVES SMOOTHLY. I THINK THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO COMPENSATE BETWEEN BEST GEAR RATIO AND BEST FUEL ECONOMY GEAR AT THE GIVEN SPEED. A THE SPEED WHERE CONSTANT SPEED IS NOT ACHIEVED SUCH AS HILL CLIMBING OR ACCELERATING FROM STOP AT THE OFF RAMP TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE COMPUTER CONFUSED.

SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OUR HONDA ODYSSEY WAS SUBJECT TO THE RECENT RECALL RELATING TO THE MOVEMENT OF THE SECOND ROW SEATS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AT THE NEARBY HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND IT WAS ALLEGEDLY FIXED. HOWEVER, SEVERAL DAYS THEREAFTER, WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TODDLER (IN A CAR SEAT ATTACHED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE SECOND ROW SEAT) AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ON LOCAL STREETS, I BRAKED GENTLY TO MERGE INTO A LANE THAT WOULD TURN TOWARD THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD MY CHILD CRYING IN SUDDEN DISTRESS. THE SEAT THAT SHE WAS IN HAD FLIPPED FORWARD INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AND HER HEAD AND BODY WAS PRESSED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND WENT TO SET THE SEAT BACK DOWN AND CHECK ON AND COMFORT MY CHILD. THERE WERE SOME INJURIES, AND WE SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CHECKED THE SEAT THAT HAD FLIPPED FORWARD, AND IT WAS STILL NOT LOCKED INTO PLACE, DESPITE ME HAVING SET THE SEAT DOWN AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR THAT NO INDIVIDUAL HAS MOVED THIS SEAT SINCE WE RETRIEVED THE CAR AFTER ITS REPAIR FROM THE RECALL. THIS INCIDENT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE, AS THIS INDICATES THAT THE REPAIR RELATING TO THE RECALL WAS NOT PROPERLY DONE OR ELSE THERE ARE ADDITIONAL MECHANICAL ISSUES INVOLVED. I ATTACHED A PICTURE OF HOW THE CAR SEAT WAS POSITIONED (WITH MY CHILD IN IT!). WE ALSO CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN FOR EVALUATION, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS INCIDENT WAS DUE TO THEIR HUMAN ERROR OR A MECHANICAL ISSUE.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AND AT APPROXIMATELY 20-30 THE CAR VIOLENTLY BUCKED/JUMPED.
