EQUIPMENT
A ROCK DAMAGE MY 2007 HONDA CAUSING FREON TO LEAK OUT. HONDA DEALER ESTIMATED THAT IT WILL COST $800 TO FIX THIS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE CONDENSER THAT HONDA SHOULD RECALL. I COULD UNDERSTAND THAT A ROCK DAMAGE A WINDSHIELD, BUT NOT SOME PART IN THE ENGINE. PLEASE REVIEW MORE COMPLAINTS AT HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/HONDA-ODYSSEY/TS3TFHTSEUCDODH9C. *TR

STRUCTURE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
HONDA ODYSSEY 2007 EXL: BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT REQUIRING PRESSING ALMOST TO THE BOTTOM TO STOP THE CAR. DEALER DID REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER BUT NO DIFFERENCE, THE SAME SCARY FEELING ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY. COUPLE TIMES I EVEN MANAGE TO PRESS BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME WHILE TRYING TO STOP A CAR. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (IT WAS IN CANADA AND ROAD WAS SLIPPERY) I HAD TO USE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP A CAR. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE COMES ON WHEN EVER THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING. IT GOES OFF AFTER THE TIRES HAVE HEATED UP, THEN COMES ON AND OFF AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS. THE DEALER CHECKED IT A COUPLE TIMES AND FINALLY SAID TO JUST IGNORE THE INDICATOR. WHY HAVE AN INDICATOR THAT IS JUST TO BE IGNORED? *TR

MY 3 YEAR OLD SON'S ARM AND HAND BECAME TRAPPED IN THE LEFT REAR AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC SLIDING DOOR. THERE IS A SAFETY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CLOSURE, HOWEVER THERE ARE NO SAFETIES IN PLACE ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT A CHILD'S ARM AND/OR HAND/FINGERS FROM BEING CRUSHED OR TRAPPED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
VERY HARD TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT UPON SLOWING THE VAN. AFTER DOWNSHIFT THE VAN HAS A SHARP JERK AND SEEMS TO HAVE TO CATCH THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE GOING INTO A LOWER GEAR. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE PURCHASED NEW AN MAY 28, 2007. NOW DEALER AND HONDA FACTORY SERVICE REP IS SAYING THIS IS A "NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC" OF THIS VAN, EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE FIRST NEW TRANSMISSION WAS AT 3321 MILES AND SECOND WAS AT 12,281 MILES. BRAKES: SLOPPY AND WEAK BRAKES SINCE PURCHASE. ROTORS TURNED AND PAD REPLACED AT 166 MILES, THREE DAYS AFTER BUYING NEW. STILL SOFT AND VIBRATING UPON STOPPING. DEALER SAYS THIS IS ALSO NORMAL. BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE PROBLEMS, WE DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFE VAN FOR OUR CHILDREN TO RIDE IN. AMERICAN HONDA HAS BEEN MORE THAN UNCOOPERATIVE. THERE IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH THIS VAN AND WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CHAMBER
WE PURCHASED BRAND NEW ODYSSEY JULY'07. FROM DATE OF PURCHASE WE NOTICED THE BRAKES PERFORMED BELOW PAR. THE BRAKES REQUIRED MUCH FORCE BE APPLIED AS WELL AS A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE BE ACCOMMODATED. AT FIRST THE DEALER COMMENTED THAT OUR VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM, HOWEVER, A TEST DRIVE SHOWED THAT IF ONE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE CAR IS AT REST IT GAVE WAY UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY MADE CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR. AFTER THIS THE DEALER INSISTED THAT I LEAVE WITH A RENTAL WHILE THEY LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM, SEPT '07. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS. UPON RETURNING THE VEHICLE THEIR COMMENTS WERE "WE HAVE IMPROVED THE MASTER CYLINDER, HOWEVER, THIS IS TEMPORARY AND I SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FURTHER INSPECTION AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE". THE VEHICLE IS STILL NOT RIGHT. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND BAD WEATHER IT DOES NOT INSPIRE CONFIDENCE, ONE FEELS AS THOUGH ONE IS DRIVING A LEMON. NOW THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL FAULT. THE COMPUTER FLASHES A WARNING (ERRATIC) "CHECK PETROL CAP"... THIS WARNING APPEARING AFTER HAVING COVERED 320MLS WITH STILL AMPLE FUEL IN THE TANK. NO APPARENT LOGIC CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE REASON OF THE WARNING. THE WARNING DISAPPEARS AFTER THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF, THE PETROL CAP IS OPENED AND THEN CLOSED AGAIN AND, THE ENGINE RESTARTED. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON. THEY REPLACED EVERYTHING AND NOW ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. THIS OCCURRED ONE DAY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE OF THE LOT. I WOULD HAVE HAPPILY EXCHANGED IT FOR ANOTHER ODYSSEY BUT HONDA WANTS TO STICK ME WITH THIS LEMON INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. I AM NOW DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED AND I WILL LOOK TOWARD OTHER MANUFACTURERS IN THE FUTURE. *TR
