ENGINE
ON DECEMBER 18, 2013, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VAN TO AN EXPRESS OIL CHANGE COMPANY THE SAME DAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO READ THE CODES. THE CODES WERE RANDOM MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRES AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT I MIGHT NEED TO HAVE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AT NEXT OIL CHANGE, BUT IT SHOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE. THE MILEAGE ON THE VAN ON THAT DATE WAS 94,482 MILES. ON FEBRUARY 7TH, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND THE VAN STARTED TO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH. I CALLED THE MECHANIC I USE FOR REPAIRS AND THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT OTHER THAN TO BRING THE VAN IN. UPON READING THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES, THEY STATED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE OLD SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS, THE COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER 5 HAD COMPLETELY MELTED AND FUSED TO THE WALLS OF THE CYLINDER. MY MECHANIC DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND SPOKE WITH A HONDA TECHNICIAN AND DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY VCM AND THAT ONLY REPLACING THE HEAD WOULD NOT ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. THE HONDA TECH ADVISED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WITH 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY ENGINES. *TR

AIR BAGS
OUR 4 SMALL CHILDREN AND A PARENT WERE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS TURNED ON AND SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY IN THE PARKED POSITION WHEN THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE HONDA ODYSSEY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED CAUSING SIGNIFICANT HEARING DAMAGE TO ALL OCCUPANTS AND RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. WE ARE NOW VERY FRIGHTENED THAT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH OUR HONDA ODYSSEY AND THAT AT A FUTURE TIME ANY OTHER AIRBAG IN THE MINIVAN MAY SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY AGAIN OR THAT IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS COLLISION THE AIRBAG SYSTEM MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY ALL TOGETHER CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY MOTHER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, SHE WAS DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROAD AND SHE SLID OFF ROAD, DOWN AN EMBANKMENT WHICH LEFT THE VEHICLE ON IT'S SIDE AND HIT A TREE HEAD-ON. MY QUESTION IS, WHY DID THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY? SHE HIT HER HEAD ON STEERING WHEEL TWICE AND SUFFERED NECK AND BACK INJURIES. THANK THE LORD SHE HAD HER SEATBELT ON. THE VAN IS TOTALED AND I AM THANKFUL THAT MY MOTHER IS ALIVE BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY THAT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE RECENT RECALL REGARDING THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. THE CAR WAS RECENTLY TAKEN INTO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. EVER SINCE THIS RECALL WAS COMPLETED, I'VE FELT (AND SOMETIME HEARD) A SLIGHT "BUZZ" WHEN FIRST TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE "BUZZ" IS A VIBRATION, WHICH IS FELT IN THE FIRST FEW SECONDS AFTER APPLICATION AND IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEARS IF BRAKING IS HELD, OR RELEASED. IT MAY AGAIN APPEAR IF THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, BUT NOT ALWAYS. BRAKING FEELS NORMAL WITH NO OTHER EVENTS. IT HAS NOT GOTTEN WORSE OR DISAPPEARED. PLEASE CALL FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THANK YOU. *TR

STEERING, STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
LOSS OF POWER STEERING & DIFFICULTY TURNING STEERING WHEEL. PAINT ON TOP OF THE ROOF HAS BEGUN TO FADE. HAD TO REPLACE OIL PAN BECAUSE OF LUG NUT DAMAGE TO PAN. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC DAMAGED WAS CAUSED TO THE OIL PAN DUE TO THE QUALITY OF METAL WITHIN THE LUG NUT THAT IS OF HARSHER MATERIAL THAN THE OIL PAN. THEREFORE, IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE OIL PAN THAT REQUIRED US TO HAVE AN IMMEDIATE OIL PAN REPLACEMENT DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. *TR

ENGINE
ON 04/18/14 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TAMERON HONDA BECAUSE IT WAS MISFIRING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON THEN THE ENGINE WOULD BEGIN JERKING AND NOT RESPONDING. I PAID $5940.01 BECAUSE THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED REBUILDING. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY BUT I DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE IN THAT THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NOT GET ANYTHING ON A TRADE IN AND I REALLY COULDN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR. I PICKED UP THE CAR AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETE AND THE NEXT DAY I WAS AT A STOP TRYING TO MERGE ACROSS A 4 LANE ROAD. THE ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING AGAIN AND I COULDN'T GET ABOVE ABOUT 10 MPH. NO ONE HIT ME BUT IT COULD HAVE VERY EASILY BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE BACK TO TAMERON 4 MORE TIMES WITH THE SAME SCENARIO. TWICE I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND LOST POWER TO ABOUT 10 MPH. AGAIN I MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SIDE WITHOUT GETTING HIT. JUST A LOT OF HORN BLOWING. THE DEALERSHIP REALLY DIDN'T HAVE AN EXPLANATION. THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO ASSURED ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO MY "FUEL". THEY CONTINUED TO LET ME DRIVE THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH I WAS TELLING THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY GRANDSON IN THE CAR. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF LIKE A SWITCH HAD BEEN PULLED. I HIT MY HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON AND MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK.THE EXPLANATION GIVEN WAS THE FUEL TANK INDICATOR HAD BROKEN AND I WAS OUT OF GAS. THEY REPLACED THE INDICATOR AND ALSO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WHICH WAS RECALLED. THEY DIDN'T MENTION THE RECALL. I KNOW MY VEHICLE HAS 133,000 MILES BUT THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. I AM SUPPOSE TO HAVE A REBUILT ENGINE AND I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE NEXT INCIDENT. NEXT TIME THERE MAY BE A CRASH. *TR

ENGINE, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE
IN 2010 I HAD TO HAVE 3 OUT OF THE 4 MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED ON MY ENGINE AND THEN LAST WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE 2 OF THE MOTOR MOUNTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AGAIN 4 YEARS LATER. I'VE ALSO SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT VARIOUS MODELS OF HONDA ODYSSEYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. YOUR ENGINE SHAKES TERRIBLY AT START AND WHILE IDLING AND HAS A HARD KICK WHEN YOU START TO GO FROM BRAKING AND IDLING AND JERKS FORWARD WHICH I CAN ONLY ATTRIBUTE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT CAUSED ME TO BRAKE BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY ENGINE HAD FALLEN OUT OF MY VEHICLE OR WAS ABOUT TO AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY THIS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY HONDA AS I'VE SEEN IT MENTIONED ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND I HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA MYSELF JUST RECENTLY. I WOULD HOPE THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THIS. I AM NOT ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED AS IT COSTS NEARLY 1200$ EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS. *TR
