SEATS
THE SECOND ROW SEATS BOTH THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT SIDE DO NOT LOCK INTO PLACE WHEN YOU MOVE THE SEAT. YOU WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY TOUCH THE BLACK BAR ON THE BOTTOM TO LOCK THE SEAT. MY CHILDREN SEVERAL TIMES HAVE HAD THE SEAT MOVE AND ALMOST CHOKE THEM WHEN WE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE COMPLAIN SEVERAL TIMES TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE SPRING, HOWEVER WARRANTY WILL NOT CHANGE IT SINCE IT IS NOT BROKEN. THAT IS WEIRD SINCE IT IS NOT WORKING AS IT HAS BEEN INTENDED.

SERVICE BRAKES
AT 20,000 MILES, BRAKING FROM FREEWAY SPEEDS STARTED TO CAUSE SHUDDERING AND JERKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WE WERE ABLE TO LIVE WITH IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 27,960 MILES, AND WERE TOLD THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS WITHOUT OUR AUTHORIZATION AND SAID THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE (THEY SHOW CLEAR SIGNS OF HEAT DAMAGE). THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND HONDA HAS ALREADY DISCONTINUED THE OLD ROTOR, AND A NEW ROTOR IS AVAILABLE, PART # 45251-TK8-A02. YET, HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE OUR DEFECTIVE ROTORS, MAKING OUR VEHICLE DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. REFINISHING THE ROTORS WILL ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WILL QUICKLY OVERHEAT AGAIN, AND HONDA OBVIOUSLY JUST HOPES THIS HAPPENS AFTER OUR WARRANTY EXPIRES. THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE (2 YEARS), AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY, AND THE SAFETY OF OUR BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS.

WE PURCHACED A BRAND NEW ELITE (2014) OUR FIRST ISSUE THE TRANSMISSION BUCKED AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS SO WE TOOK IT IN 2/2016. THEY STATED THAT IT REQUIRED A FRIMWARE UPDATE. NOW THE VAN VIBRATES BETWEEN AND 25-35 AND ALSO 60-65 MPH ALSO WHEN YOU ACCELERATE ITS NOW JERKY AND/OR UN-SMOOTH WITH SHIFTING. WE TOOK IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP (8/16)TO FIX THIS NEW ISSUE NOW THE TECH REPORTS THAT THE FLUID IS BLACK. THE VAN ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES....HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY DOOR CAME AJAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD!!! WHEN THE DASH TEMPERATURE READS ABOVE 96 DEGREES, THE ELECTRONICS OF THE REAR-SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT OPERATE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VAN WAS 3.5 MONTH OLD. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE, AND NO ERROR CODE DISPLAYS ON THE DASH. MY BABY HAS BEEN TRAPPED IN THE BACKSEAT, BECAUSE I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. DURING THE HOT TEMPS, THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY. THE DOORS ARE COMPLETELY STUCK! ONCE I DRIVE AROUND AND THE VAN COOLS, THE ELECTRONICS/SLIDING DOORS OPERATE JUST FINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VAN IS PARKED, BECAUSE BEING STATIONARY IN THE SUN ALLOWS IT TO GET HOTTER. EVEN WITH IT'S ONLY 93 OUTSIDE, THE DASH MAY READ 101 AFTER SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT FOR A FEW HOURS. LAST WEEK, I TRIED TO OPEN IT AROUND 3PM. IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. THE DASH SHOWED ALL DOORS CLOSED WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. FIVE MINUTES LATER, AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, AT 65 MPH, THE DOOR CAME AJAR! I HAD TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE IT. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS WITH OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE A RECENT VIDEO OF THE ISSUE, BUT THIS SITE DOES NOT ALLOW THAT FORMATTING.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE ROTORS WARPED WITH VERY FEW (20K OR LESS) MILES. DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. EVERY REPORT I FOUND ONLINE STATED THAT RESURFACED ROTORS ENDED UP WARPING AGAIN IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVE FOUND THAT HONDA HAS RECENTLY CHANGED OUT THE ROTORS THEY USE TO TRY AND COMBAT THIS PROBLEM, THOUGH, NEVER FORMALLY ISSUING A RECALL OR NOTICE TO EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN HIT BY THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES ON OUR 2014 ODYSSEY STARTED VIBRATING SLIGHTLY WHEN APPLIED AT 20,000 MILES. SLOWLY THE VIBRATION HAS INCREASED WITH TIME AND IS NOW VERY APPARENT AT 28K. OUR DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETEN ON THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THA THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED TO BE RESURFACED. HOWEVER, WE ARE VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVERS AND HVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF OUR NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES. ALSO, WHEN LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING ISSUE THAT HONDA APPEARS TO BE AVOIDING. AND SIMPLY PUT, TRUEING THE ROTORS WILL ONLY TEMPORARLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HASTEN A REACURRANCE! TO SAY THE LEAST, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH OUR FIRST ODYSSEY!

SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE CAR BUCKING WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. ALSO ACCELERATING PROBLEMS WITH IT BEING JERKY AND/OR UN-SMOOTH. IT SOMETIMES JOLTS FORWARD AS WELL. WHEN VAN IS TAKEN OUT OF PART ON ANY INCLINE, THERE IS A LOUD "CLUNK" AS IT SHIFTS INTO REVERSE. PURCHASED THE VAN BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2014. VEHICLE NOW HAS LESS THAN 26,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE I AM DRIVING THE HONDA ODYSSEY TODAY, EVERYTIME I WAS INCREASING THE SPEED FROM 0, IT WAS GIVING BIG JERK. I STOPPED AND AGAIN INCREASED THE SPEED, SAME PROBLEM. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED, THEN IT WAS FINE. SAME THING HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN PAST, BUT NEVER RECOGNIZED THE PATTERN.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES STARTED VIBRATING FAIRLY VIOLENTLY WHEN DESCENDING HILLS AT 10,000 MILES. INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. THIS IS THE 3RD HONDA VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE HAD AND HAVE GOTTEN OVER 100,000 MILES ON PILOT AND CRV WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING. THEREFORE IT IS NOT DUE TO DRIVING HABITS.

SERVICE BRAKES
24,000 MILES ON OUR CAR AND IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND WE WERE TOLD OUR FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE MACHINED. I HAD CALL THE SERVICE DEPT. WHEN WE WERE UNDER 20,000MILES AND WAS TOLD THE SQEAKY NOISE WAS FROM THE RAIN AND THE WATER GETTING ONTO THE BRAKE PADS... YA OK. $120 + LABOR + TAXES LATER AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO MY DRIVING STYLE.. WHICH I DO NOT "RIDE THE BRAKES" NOR DO I "BREAK HARD" . WE HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER CAR. MY HUSBANDS CHEVY MALIBU HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE HIS BRAKES DONE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY OR SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THE ROTORS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DISTANCE IS LIMITED BY A HORIZONTAL BLACKNESS. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH DISTANCE TO DRIVE SAFELY. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT 55W (H11 HALAGON TYPE, SAME BULB USED FOR FOG LIGHTS ON THESE VEHICLES. . ACCORDING TO TRIPLE A THESE ARE NOT SAFE OVER 35 MPH ON A UNLIT HIGHWAY. I FIND THE HEADLIGHT TO BE VERY ANNOYING AND UNSAFE BY LIMITING THE DISTANCE VIEWED ON THE ROAD AHEAD.

SEATS
THE 2009 RULE REQUIRING CHANGES IN HEAD RESTRAINTS (COMMONLY CALLED HEAD RESTS) HAS RESULTED IN A DESIGN FOUND ON MANY VEHICLES (THE HONDA ODYSSEY IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE) THAT INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR MANY DRIVERS. IN YOUR ATTEMPT TO HELP KEEP PEOPLE SAFE YOU HAVE CREATED AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT. THE ANGLE OF THE HEAD RESTRAINT PUSHING MY WIFE'S HEAD DOWN AND FORWARD CAUSING PAIN AND PREVENTING HER FROM SEEING OUT THE WINDOW PROPERLY. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD AND ESSENTIALLY ELIMINATED ANY VEHICLE MADE SINCE 2010 (WE HAVE TRIED GM, CHRYSLER, HONDA, TOYOTA SO FAR). THIS COULD BE SOLVED BY ALLOWING THE DRIVING TO ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE HEAD RESTRAINT - YOU KNOW, BY TREATING US ADULTS CAPABLE OF MAKING DECISIONS ON OUR OWN AND DETERMINING WHAT WORKS FOR US. I FIND THE HEAD RESTRAINT UNCOMFORTABLE BUT I CAN "LIVE WITH IT" AFTER ADJUSTING IT. THANKING FOR KEEPING US SAFE AND RUINING DRIVING FOR MY FAMILY. GREAT JOB! TRYING GOOGLING "UNCOMFORTABLE HEADRESTS IN NEW CARS" TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS LAW.

30K MILES HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS RESURFACED DUE TO WARPING. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVES IT LIKE AN OLD LADY SO I KNOW IT'S NOT HER DRIVING STYLE. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE.

VERY ROUGH TRANSMISSION DOWN-SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST WHEN SLOWING DOWN, BUT NOT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THEN ACCELERATING. THIS CAN BE AVOIDED BY VERY SLOWLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON ACCELERATION (VERY SLOW ACCELERATION). I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. I DO NOT FEEL THIS TYPE OF OPERATION IS NORMAL. FURTHER, I SEE MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. MILEAGE IS ABOUT 18,000, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW (PURCHASED 10/30/14).

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH NO RESULTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SENSOR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.
