ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ENGINE FAILURE AT 1700 MILES. FRONT AND REAR CAMSHAFTS SEIZED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE DISABLED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SECONDARY ROAD WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC AND JUST ABLE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY. REPLACED CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLIES,SPROCKETS, BELTS, GASKETS, ETC. OLD PARTS RETAINED BY DEALER. WE CALLED HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-800-999-1009 AND SPOKE TO A GENTLEMAN NAMED DAVID, WHO WAS NOT HELPFUL AND WOULD NOT TRANSFER US TO ANYONE WITH ANY AUTHORITY. THE DEALER TOLD US HONDA AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 3.5 L ENGINES. FORTUNATELY NO ONE APPARENTLY HAS BEEN DISABLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND KILLED BY LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN MODERATE TRAFFIC WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED AT AN OFF-RAMP. I PUSHED MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE FEELING THE BRAKES ENGAGE AT ALL. IT APPEARED THAT I HAD ENOUGH DISTANCE TO STOP, BUT MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLIDE INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, AND WE WERE SURPRISED TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING IN OUR FACES AS WE HIT THE OTHER CAR. THAT CAR THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. ALL 3 CARS WERE UNDRIVABLE. THE OTHER TWO DRIVERS WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE, WHILE MY DAUGHTER AND I HAD PAIN FOR 1-2 WEEKS FOLLOWING. I DROVE ANOTHER CAR WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP, AND WAS SHOCKED AT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BRAKING. DRIVING THE HONDA EVERY DAY, I DID NOT NOTICE THE CHANGES IN BRAKE FUNCTIONING OVER TIME. I LITERALLY HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE BRAKES TO WORK. I JUST HAD THE BRAKE RECALL PERFORMED, AND NOTICE A DRASTIC DIFFERENCE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND IN HOW LITTLE I HAVE TO PUSH ON THE PEDAL NOW TO GET THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA THAT THE SOFT BRAKES WOULD HAVE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH ACTUAL BRAKE FUNCTIONING. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AT 110,000 MILES I BEGAN HAVING TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE UNTIL ALL SHIFTS WERE SLIPPING. THIS CAR HAS A LONG LAG (5 SECONDS OR MORE) WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. AT 114,000, THE TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED BY A 3RD PARTY TRANSMISSION SHOP. $2600 LATER, THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE SHOP CURRENTLY BELIEVES (THEY AREN'T SURE BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVEN'T GOT IT WORKING PROPERLY) THE FAILURE BEGAN WITH AN ELECTRICAL, POSSIBLY ECM, PROBLEM. THIS VAN HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IN COLD WEATHER, WITH 1100 MI. ON VEHICLE, DROVE 10 MILES AND CAME TO A STOP. VEHICLE REVVED AT 1500 RPMS WHILE IN DRIVE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, PUT IN TO NEUTRAL AND IT REVVED TO 5000-6000 RPMS WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. TURNED OFF AND ON, VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REV AT 5000-6000 RPMS WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN, VEHICLE BACK TO NORMAL. PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. BROUGHT TO DEALER, DEALER DID BASIC TESTING, COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, BUT DEALER CHECKED FOR STORED CODES, NOTHING FOUND. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SAID VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. DEALER SUGGESTED FOOT WAS ON GAS PEDAL, OR FLOOR MAT WAS ON GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER, FOOT WAS ON BRAKE, AND FLOOR MAT WAS SECURED TO FLOOR. WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A 2001 ODYSSEY, THOUGHT PROBLEM WOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH THIS NEW MODEL. DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH THE 2001 ODYSSEY EITHER. THE CONSEQUENCE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS VEHICLE COULD HIT SOMETHING IN FRONT OF IT IF BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED FIRMLY WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACKUP SENSOR FAILED AND THE VOLUME WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH FOR HIM TO HEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WHENEVER HE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO TURN UP THE VOLUME BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN ON THE SENSOR. THE HONDA MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND THEY WOULD NOT LET HIM SPEAK WITH THE ENGINEER IN REGARDS TO THE VOLUME AND THE DESIGN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WANTED THE DEALER TO INCREASE THE VOLUME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. THERE WAS NO MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 380.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WE HAVE A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. I WAS LOOKING AHEAD IN TRAFFIC AND NOTICE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD SLAM THEIR BRAKES. I THOUGHT I HAD ENOUGH DISTANCES TO STOP, BUT MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I COULDN'T MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL. I FELT LIKE I KEPT SLIDING INSTEAD OF JUST STOPPING. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND AT DUSK TIME DURING THE DAY. THE LADY FROM THE CAR THAT I BARELY HIT, GOT OUT OF HER CAR AND ASKED ME HOW NEW WAS MY VEHICLE. I TOLD HER THAT WE HAD JUST GOT IT. SHE SAID WHEN I LOOKED BACK TO SEE YOU, YOU HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP BUT IT LOOKED LIKE YOU KEPT SLIDING. SHE THOUGHT I SHOULD GO AND GET MY BRAKES CHECKED. SO I DID AT THE SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY BRAKES WERE FIND. I DON'T THINK THAT MY BRAKES ARE FINE. I HAD A 2004 ODYSSEY AND I FELT SAFER WITH THOSE BRAKES THAN I DO WITH THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE. ONE OTHER THING ABOUT MY VEHICLE SINCE I AM ON HERE. WE HAD TAKEN A LONG TRIP JUST AFTER WE HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. A WARNING LIGHT CAME OWN. MY HUSBAND LOOKED IN THE MANUAL IT WAS IN RELATION TO EMISSIONS. IT WAS THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP. WE HAD CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US 2 THINGS. TAKE IT IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND ARE WE TIGHTENING OUR GAS TANK CAP. SO WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD US NOTHING WAS WRONG. DURING OUR WHOLE TRIP BACK WE MADE SURE OUR GAS TANK CAP WAS TIGHTEN. TO THIS VARY DAY THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE LIGHT COMES AND GOES. THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. SO I AM ON HERE CONCERN ABOUT MY FAMILY AND I SAFETY. *TR

I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY ON OCTOBER 16, 2009. ON JANUARY 16, 2010, I WAS DRIVING IN NEW YORK CITY TRAFFIC STOPPED AT A LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL CARS. SUDDENLY THE CAR'S ENGINE STARTED TO RACE AND LURCHED FORWARD EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THE CAR KEPT LURCHING FORWARD AS I TRIED TO STEP DOWN ON THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER. AS SUDDENLY THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION STOPPED. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE FOUR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WHO WITNESSED THIS EVENT AT THE TIME. *TR
