TWO OTHER WITNESSES IN THE VEHICLE VERIFIED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT BEING PRESSED AT ANY TIME DURING THE INCIDENT.

I FORGOT TO ADD THE RECALL NUMBER ON THE VSA DEVICE THAT LOCKS UP WITHOUT DRIVERS INVOLVEMENT AND CAUSES ACCIDENTS. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA IT IS 13-098 IN MY FORMER COMPLAINT TODAY. BOTTOM LINE, IF I DRIVE IT WITH THIS UNSAFE CONDITION AND IT LOCKS UP AND CAUSES AN ACCIDENT, WHO IS LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ETC? IF I DON'T DRIVE IT I HAVE NO CAR UNTIL REPAIRED. DOES OR IS HONDA RESPONSIBLE TO PROVIDE US A CAR UNTIL OURS IS REPAIRED AND SAFE AGAIN. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND NOW TOM SCOTT HONDA IN NAMPA ID SAID THEY CAN'T REPAIR IT UNTIL SOMETIME NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET PARTS UNTIL THEN. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS VEHICLE IS BEING RECALLED BECAUSE THE BRAKES LOCK UP DO TO THE VSA DEVICE MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT. WHAT IS THE ANSWER? *TR

ENGINE
THE LARGE BOLT THAT GOES THROUGH THE BELT TENSIONER ROLLER INTO THE BRACKET ATTACHED TO THE MOTOR HAS SHEARED OFF TWICE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 5000 MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE WHEN DRIVING AT 50+ MPH AND MOST RECENTLY WHEN DRIVING 25MPH. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER A HONDA DEALER REPLACED THE TIMING BELT, T-BELT TENSIONER AND SERPENTINE BELT. I'M UNSURE IF THEY REPLACED THE BOLT IN QUESTION AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER, WITHIN 500 MILES OF DRIVING THE BOLT SHEARED OFF. THEN A DIFFERENT HONDA DEALER REPLACED THE BROKEN BOLT, TENSIONER ROLLER AND SERPENTINE BELT ALL OF WHICH WERE DAMAGED WHEN THE BOLT FAILED. ONCE AGAIN AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 5000 MILES THE SAME BOLT HAS BROKEN. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WELL AS BEING COSTLY. THE DEALER IS CLAIMING NO FAULT, YET THESE ARE PARTS THAT HONDA DEALERS ARE INSTALLING IN THEIR OWN SHOPS. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER AND AVOID POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WORKS BUT ALL 3 PASSENGER WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING. WINDOWS WILL NOT WORK FROM DRIVERS CONTROL OR FROM INDIVIDUAL WINDOW CONTROLS. CHILD SAFETY IS NOT ENGAGED AND CONTROL IS UNLOCKED ON DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE SEEN DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON-LINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM; SEEMS HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING IN GREAT NUMBERS ACROSS MANY OLDER AND NEWER ODYSSEY MODELS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT
HONDA ODYSSEY 2007 LIFTGATE NON-POWERED LIFT STRUTS FAILED INSTANTANEOUSLY. THIS CAUSED THE HEAVY LIFTGATE TO NO LONGER STAY ON THE OPEN/UP POSITION. HONDA (UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN) REPLACED BOTH STRUTS. WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS, STRUTS AGAIN FAILED AND WERE REPLACED BY HONDA. ON 11/3/2013 THIS STRUTS AGAIN FAILED INSTANTANEOUSLY (USED WITHOUT PROBLEMS AROUND 2PM), FAILED AT 4:30PM. THIS IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS SINCE LAST REPLACEMENT FOR A MAJOR FUNCTIONALLY NECESSARY COMPONENT OF THE MINI-VAN. HONDA WAS CONTACTED AND CLAIMS THERE ARE NO KNOWN DEFECTS WITH THE STRUTS AND THAT THEY ARE "FAR" OUTSIDE THE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY WINDOW OF 12 MONTHS. IT WOULD SAME HONDA USES DEFECTIVE OR INFERIOR PARTS FOR THESE STRUTS. HONDA SUPPORT REP. TOLD ME THAT IF I FELT THE STRUTS WERE NOT HIGH QUALITY AND EFFECTIVE IN HOLDING THE LIFTGATE UP I SHOULD LOOK FOR 3RD PARTY MANUFACTURED STRUTS THAT FILLED MY NEEDS BETTER. VERY SURPRISED BY THIS RESPONSE THAT HONDA WOULD TELL ME TO GET "BETTER" PARTS OUTSIDE IF THEIR OWN LIFTGATE STRUTS ARE NOT UP TO THE JOB THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO FOR YEARS WITHOUT FAILURE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
APPROX 10/2/13 WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY AND WAS ACCELERATING WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR LOST POWER AND SLOWED RAPIDLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE THEN ON 10/11/13 I WAS DRIVING A ROAD I TRAVEL ON DAILY WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR SLOWED BY ABOUT 30 MPH IN JUST A FEW SECONDS. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND REALIZED IT WAS ALREADY ENGAGED AND WAS WHY I WAS SLOWING DOWN. 10/16/13 - CAR WENT TO DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. DEALER FOUND SOURCE CODES DTC 26-1 LATERAL ACC SENSOR, AND DTC 27-1 STEERING ANGLE SENSOR BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE AND TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE FIX WAS. 10/17/13 - WAS DRIVING ON THE SAME ROAD AS ON 10/11 - CLANGING/GRATING SOUND IN STEERING COLUMN AND THEN BRAKES ENGAGED, WAS ACCELERATING SLOWLY PRIOR TO THIS. SLOWED DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP, THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATED AGAIN. WITHIN A QUARTER OF A MILE IT HAPPENED AGAIN (WAS DRIVING SLOWER AT THIS TIME B/C I WAS WORRIED IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN), THIS TIME THE TRIANGLE W/ THE EXCLAMATION POINT ON IT FLICKERED (THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT CAME ON, ALL OTHER TIMES NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING). TAKING IT BACK TO DEALER TOMORROW BUT UNLESS IT HAPPENS TO THEM WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. REPEATEDLY TOLD THEM OF THE INVESTIGATION BUT THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW THE FIX. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME DURING THESE OCCURRENCES BUT IF THEY HAD THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO HOW FAST THE CAR DECELERATED. *TR
