STRUCTURE:BODY
ON AT LEAST 2 OCCASIONS, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK EVEN WHEN USING MULTIPLE METHODS TO UNLOCK IT. EVEN WHEN THE KNOB ON THE DOOR WAS LIFTED MANUALLY, THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND OPEN. AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS (KEY FOB, AUTO DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON, MANUALLY LIFTING THE LOCKING KNOB), IT FINALLY OPENED. WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH WHEN SOMEONE TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON WAS PUSHED, BUT SINCE READING A REPORT OF A SIMILAR INCIDENT ON AN ODYSSEY, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKING MECHANISM. ONCE THE KNOB WAS LIFTED MANUALLY, THE DOOR SHOULD HAVE OPENED REGARDLESS.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOORS ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE VEHICLE FAILED. THE SAFETY MECHANISM FAILED TO KEEP THE DOORS IN THE OPEN POSITION AFTER IT WAS UNLOCKED. THE DOORS FAILED CONTINUOUSLY WHEN IT WAS COLD AND ICE FORMED ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE DOOR LATCHES TO REMAIN UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WAS NO FAILURE SINCE IT ONLY OCCURRED DURING FRIGID TEMPERATURES. A REPRESENTATIVE WITH THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO FAILURES WITHIN THE DOORS. THE REPRESENTATIVE ALSO ADDED LUBRICATION TO THE DOORS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,800.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2010 HONDA ODYSSEY NOW HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT. PURCHASED IN APRIL, 2010. AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE IN VARIOUS TYPES OF WEATHER (COLD, HOT, MILD, WET, SNOW) THE FRONT PASSENGER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE DOOR LATCH NOT DISENGAGING. THE BUTTON WAS PUSHED TO UNLOCK. THE DOOR LOCKS APPEARED TO UNLOCK (THE STEM WENT UP). HOWEVER, THE DOOR WAS STILL LOCKED. AFTER TRYING VARIOUS THINGS LIKE REINSERTING THE KEY, TURNING ON/OFF THE ENGINE, ACTIVATING THE UNLOCK FEATURE ON THE KEYLESS ENTRY BUTTON, THE DOOR FINALLY WOULD UNLOCK AND OPEN. AS A SIDE NOTE, WHEN EXITING THE VAN I ALWAYS RECEIVE A SLIGHT STATIC SHOCK. *TR

STEERING
CAR PULLS TO RIGHT AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN. IF LAST TURN WAS TO THE LEFT CAR DRIVES STRAIGHT. WHEN PULLING TO THE RIGHT IS PULLS HARD ENOUGH THAT IS WILL CAUSE FATIGUE IN YOUR ARMS AFTER AWHILE OF DRIVING. ALSO IT YOU ALLOW IT THE CAR WILL CHANGE LANES IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT BEING CORRECTED. THEY HAVE ROTATED TIRES, REALIGNMENT, REPLACED STEERING RACK, REPLACE BOTH UPPER STRUT BEARINGS, ALL WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IN THIS CONDITION IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE IT. WE ARE TO MEET WITH THE HONDA REP. NEXT WEEK FOR THE SECOND TIME. DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BUT KEEP TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS A NEW CAR. *TR

TAKEN TO HONDA DEALER, UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER STATES IT WAS WARPED ROTORS BUT THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT (2010 MODEL) AND CONSIDERED IT A MAINTENANCE ITEM AND WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. REPAIR WAS NOT MADE. *TR

STRUCTURE, SEATS
HONDA ODYSSEY 2010 GRAB BAR CAUSED TODDLER TO BREAK LEG. TWO YEAR OLD WAS IN HER CAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. SHE PUT HER FOOT ON TOP OF THE GRAB BAR BEHIND THE SEAT, HER SHOE (SIZE 7 1/5) CAUGHT, SHE PULLED AND THE FORCE BROKE HER LEG. THIS HAPPENED IN THE TIME IT TOOK ME TO OPEN THE DOOR AND GET INTO THE CAR. I THINK THAT IF THE GRAB BAR WAS SHAPED DIFFERENTLY (THICKER BAR PART AND NARROWER HOLE ) THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I TOO HAVE HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS W/ BOTH MY NEW 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY (CURRENTLY 1600 MI) AND MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY (130000 MI WHEN TRADED-IN). IN ALL CASES I HAD ENGINE ACCELERATION AS I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. VERY SCARY THE FIRST TIME OR TWO. I FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT MY FOOT WAS OVERHANGING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON THE RIGHT (WHICH IT CAN EASILY DO WHEN BRAKING WITH MY RIGHT FOOT) AND WAS INADVERTENTLY CONTACTING THE GAS PEDAL. THE HARDER I TRIED TO BRAKE THE FASTER THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. I HAVE LEARNED TO LET UP ON THE BRAKE & MOVE MY FOOT TO THE LEFT. IMMEDIATE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BUT I BELIEVE THIS A DESIGN FAULT. MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE & GAS PEDALS WOULD ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. PERHAPS A REDESIGN OF THE BRAKE PEDAL FACE WOULD BE A COST EFFECTIVE REMEDY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
AT 7000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A VERY LOUD GRINDING AND RATTLING NOISE, SHAKING THE VEHICLE, WHEN SHIFTING FROM R TO D. THIS WAS REPEATED AT 25,000 MILES SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE. IN JULY OF 2010, VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR MEMORY STEERING, THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT STRUT. NOVEMBER OF 2010, THE VEHICLE STEERING IS UNSTABLE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE SENSATION IS EITHER OVER-ACTIVITY OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP OR UNDER-ACTIVITY. VEHICLE SEEMS VERY UNSTABLE UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON BUMPY ROADS. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANYTHING ABNORMAL. *TR

STRUCTURE
THE SLIDING DOORS TO OUR 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE FAILED TO CLOSE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ROLLER THAT THEY RUN ON BRAKES AND CAUSES THE DOOR NOT TO CLOSE. IT WILL OPEN BUT NOT CLOSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US THREE TIMES AND IT WAS TODAY TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYPLACE SUCH AS A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY TO SWITCH DRIVERS. WHEN THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE THE CAR WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO GET OUT OF PARK INTO GEAR. THERE WE ARE STUCK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND NOT ABLE TO MOVE. IF WE GET OUT OF THE CAR WE CAN GET HIT BY A CAR. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS YOU IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THIS CONCERNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, ON INITIAL APPLICATION, GOING SO LOW THAT I ALSO HIT THE ACCELERATOR, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD VIGOROUSLY. WHEN I CONTINUE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. WHEN I RELEASE THE PEDAL AND REAPPLY IT, IT GIVES ME A HARDER PEDAL IN WHICH TO GET STOPPED. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER SERVICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THIS FACILITY DO NOT SHOW THE CONCERN FOR THIS AS I FEEL THEY SHOULD, SINCE THIS INVOLVES A CONDITION THAT IS OF MY GRAVE CONCERN, AND I HOPE THAT I DON'T GO THERE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. I HAVE ALSO TALKED WITH HONDA AMERICA AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ANY HELP. *TR
