POWER TRAIN
CAR HESITATES ON DOWNSHIFT AT 40 AND 20 MPH. ON 6/26/11 I BROUGHT CAR INTO LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO HAVE A MANUFACTURER PRODUCT UPDATE ADDRESSED THAT WAS TARGETING THIS TRANSMISSION JUDDER ISSUE. DEALER PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH PROVED TO BE INEFFECTIVE. ON 9/7/11 I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE SOFTWARE UPDATE AGAIN SINCE THE TRANSMISSION JUDDER WAS STILL PRESENT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $115 TO LOOK AT THE CAR, NOT INCLUDING COST OF ANY REPAIRS. SINCE HONDA'S PRODUCT UPDATE NOTIFICATION INDICATED THIS UPDATE SHOULD BE FREE OF CHARGE AND THE DEALER WAS INTENDING TO CHARGE ME, I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IN ANGER WITHOUT HAVING THEM LOOK AT THE CAR. ON 11/19/11 I BROUGHT CAR BACK IN BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS STILL PRESENT AND AGREED TO PAY THEIR DIAGNOSIS FEE OF $115. THEY RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO TRY TO RESOLVE. ON 12/17/11 THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT CORRECTED SO I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN. THE DEALER RECOGNIZED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT SAID IT WAS "SLIGHT" AND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED. THIS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HONDA'S DOCUMENTATION SAYS DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT HAVING THIS ISSUE FIXED COULD DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION. HONDA'S PRODUCT UPDATE LETTER TO THE DEALER INDICATED TORQUE CONVERTER SHOULD BE REPLACED IF SOFTWARE UPDATE WASN'T EFFECTIVE, BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO THAT. 12/19/11 I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN OUT OF DISSATISFACTION WITH THE CONCLUSION OF THE 12/17/11 VISIT. DEALER AGAIN ATTEMPTED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH AGAIN PROVED TO BE INEFFECTIVE. ON 2/6/12, I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA TO EXPLAIN THE HISTORY. I AM NOW BEING ASKED TO PAY FOR PART OF THIS REPAIR, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN FREE OF CHARGE TO ME HAD THE DEALER ADDRESSED IT DURING ONE OF MY INITIAL VISITS. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD INCUR ANY COST FOR THIS UPDATE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I AM GETTING A THUD SOUND FROM THE BACK OF MY 2007 ODYSSEY MINI VAN. WE CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE COME IN WITH THIS. THEY FOUND THAT THERE IS A GLAZING THAT HAPPENS WITH THE BRAKES AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO GRIND THE DRUMS AND IT MAKES IT GO AWAY FOR AWHILE. THEY SAID IF THE BRAKE SHOES ARE OK IT WOULD RUN ABOUT $200.00. THIS IS CRAZY IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OTHER THAN WEAR AND TEAR THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. I HAVE PUT TWO SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS VAN SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKES GO SO FAST. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A VERY POOR DESIGN. IF I HAD NOT BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT 1000 OF DOLLARS WITH ALL THE PROBLEM THIS 2007 HONDA HAS HAD. IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. THE WINDSHIELD WHISTLES, THE TRANSMISSION PART HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE COMPRESSOR MELTED, THE BATTERY WENT DEAD ON A TRIP BEFORE A YEAR WAS UP. THE BEARINGS IN THE WHEELS WENT BAD. THE AXLE WENT BAD. THE RIGHT REAR DOOR MOTOR WENT BAD. THE LEFT REAR DOOR WILL OPEN PART WAY AND SHUT. ALL IN ALL HONDA HAS GONE DOWN HILL. $37,000 AND ITS A PIECE OF JUNK. THANK GOD OTHER THAN THE BRAKES THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY VERY GOOD AND HAS FIXED EVERYTHING AT LEAST ONCE. *TR

STEERING, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP, STEERING:RACK AND PINION
VEHICLE WAS HARD TO STEER AT LOW SPEEDS ALSO DURING COLD WEATHER WE HEAR A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING PUMP. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE WE WERE TOLD THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS BAD. THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AND TOLD US IF WE HEAR THE WHINING NOISE AGAIN IT IS PROBABLY THE POWER STEERING RESOVIOR WHICH WAS NOT REPLACED. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING SOUND IN THE STEERING WHICH THEY SAY IS THE RACK AND PINION AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOW THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE BUT BEFORE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED WE HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE POPPING NOISE BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MAGICALLY NOW THEY HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM. WITH THEM NOW WANTING TO CHARGE $2000 TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 54000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS MUCH TROUBLE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE NEEDING THIS MUCH WORK THIS SOON. ALTHOUGH I DO LOVE MY VEHICLE I CAN HONESTLY SAY I AM HAVING DOUBTS OF EVER OWNING ANOTHER ONE. IF THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. *KB

STRUCTURE:BODY
ON 1/23/12 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE DRIVERS SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR WITH REMOTE, IT WAS NOTED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE, SAID DOOR CLOSED ABOUT HALF-WAY AND THEN REOPENED. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO CLOSE ABOVE DOOR UNTIL IT FINALLY DID CLOSE. IT WAS ALSO NOTED AT THIS TIME THAT WHEN IT DID CLOSE IT MADE A THUMPING NOISE. "THUMP... THUMP... THUMP..." WHILE THE DOOR WAS CLOSING. IT SHOULD BE STATED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES THIS PAST WEEK, HOWEVER NOT ALL THE TIME. THE THUMPING NOISE WAS NOTED ALL THE TIME THOUGH, ONLY UPON CLOSING. ANNOYING, BUT NOT TERRIBLE. TONIGHT, 2/1/12, HOWEVER IS A DIFFERENT STORY. I OPENED THE ABOVE DOOR USING THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, THE DOOR BEGAN TO OPEN. WHEN IT (SLIDING DOOR) WAS JUST ABOUT COMPLETELY OPEN (MORE THAN 3/4 OPEN BUT NOT FULLY), MY SIX YEAR-OLD SON ATTEMPTED TO CLIMB INTO THE VAN (SOMETHING HE HAS DONE BEFORE WITHOUT THERE EVER BEING A PROBLEM) WHEN THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE ON ITS OWN! THANKFULLY, I WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL HIM OUT OF HARMS WAY AND STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING ON HIM. THE DOOR THEN OPENED, WHEN I PHYSICALLY STOPPED IT FROM CLOSING ON MY SON, AND THEN BEGAN TO CLOSE AGAIN AND THEN OPEN, TO WHERE IT STAYED. IT WAS THEN THAT I TURNED OFF THE POWER SLIDER AND CLOSED THE DOOR MANUALLY. I REALIZE NOWHERE ON THIS FORM DOES IT ASK FOR POTENTIAL INJURIES, HOWEVER THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING. A NECESSARY COMPONENT (A DOOR) THAT ONE BELIEVES TO BE SAFE IS NOT ONLY UNRELIABLE BUT HAZARDOUS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL OFF AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF 45 MPH ON LEVEL GROUND. BRAKES SPONTANEOUSLY ACTIVATED WITH MODERATELY HARD FORCE, SLOWING CAR TO 30 MPH, THEN RELEASING. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND ALL FOUR WHEELS APPEARED TO BE INVOLVED. ENGINE RPM DID DECREASE DURING THIS EVENT. THE SPONTANEOUS BRAKING RECURRED TWICE WITHIN TWO MILES WITH THE SAME FAIRLY SPIRITED DECELERATION EXPERIENCED. THE VSA WAS SWITCHED TO THE OFF SETTING, AND NO OTHER EPISODES OF SPONTANEOUS BRAKING WERE NOTED FOR THE REMAINING ONE MILE OF THE JOURNEY. FUEL LEVEL AT 80%, CAR IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. NO ABERRANT SOUNDS WERE GENERATED. UPDATED 03/09/12 *TR

STEERING
AFTER DRIVING APX. 50 MILES MOST OF THEM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UPON EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND WAITING TO MAKE A TURN I HEARD A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DO SO. THE NOISE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AT TIMES AS IF YOU HAD LOSS POWER ASSIT. I PARKED THE VAN AND CKECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL, LEVEL WAS GOOD, BUT IT LOOKED FOAMY. THE VAN SAT FOR APX. 3 HOURS I CHECKED THE FLUID AGAIN AND IT LOOKED NORMAL. AFTER STARTING THE VAN THE NOISE WAS NOT AS PRONOUNCED AND STEERING SEEMED OK, BUT AFTER MAKING THE 50 MILE RETURN TRIP HOME THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET I FIND THIS IS A PROBLEM HONDA IS AWARE OF SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED AT LEAST TWO SERVICE BULLETINS 07-005 AND 10-076 TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK ANY PROBLEM THAT WOULD AFFECT THE STEERING OF A VEHICLE AT SLOW OR HIGH SPEED SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. YOU COULD LOOSE THE ABILITY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT EITHER SPEED OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT AS IF THIS IS DUE TO POOR OR LACK OF MAINTANCE, OR HIGH MILAGE. THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO HAPPEN WAY BEFORE A VEHICLE OF THIS COST AND PRECEIVED QUALITY SHOULD START HAVING PROBLEMS, TO A SYSTEM THAT AFFECTS IT'S SAFE OPERATION. SOME HAVE OCCURED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MY VAN, BUT IT HAS BEEN SERVICED BY A HONDA DEALER SINCE NEW. I HOPE HUMAN LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LOST OR SERIOUS INJURY OCCUR BEFORE THIS ON GOING PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM IF THEY WILL NOT DO THE RIGHT THING, THEN SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE THEM, AND FIX THE POWER STEERING PUMPS. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
2007 - 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE TARGETED TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF A "WARRANTY EXTENSION" TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY, SUFFERED WITH THE "HARD TO TURN" CONDITION (SEE TSB 10-076) AND ASSOCIATED PUMP WHINING NOISE THAT IS DESCRIBED IN TSB 07-005 (DEFECTIVE PUMP RESERVOIR). ALTHOUGH THE PUMP WAS EXTENDED WARRANTY REPLACED AT UNIVERSITY MOTORS (MISSOULA) I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RESERVOIR ($66.08). MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE RESERVOIR DEFECT IS WHAT CAUSES THE PUMP TO FAIL. I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED AND ALL OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE RESERVOIR (OR PUMP) SHOULD BE 100% REIMBURSED. AMERICAN HONDA AUTOMOBILE REFUSED TO REIMBURSE FOR THIS REPLACEMENT STATING THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO THE PUMP. PLEASE REVIEW HUGE COMPLAINT DATA BASE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS IN A LONG LINE OF CARS WAITING TO LEAVE A PARKING LOT AFTER AN EVENT. AT ONE POINT, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IN LINE, I BRIEFLY INCHED THE CAR FORWARD AND THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SPEED UNEXPECTEDLY STARTING INCREASING QUICKLY ON ITS OWN. WHEN THE SPEED HIT 5000 RPM AND WITH MY FOOT STILL FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO PREVENT IT FROM POSSIBLY MOVING FORWARD. THEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY AFTER IT WAS RESTARTED, AND HAS BEHAVED NORMALLY IN THE TWO WEEKS SINCE THEN. PERHAPS COINCIDENTALLY, THE BATTERY FAILED TWO DAYS LATER AND WAS REPLACED. A HONDA DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT THE 2007 ODYSSEY EX-L RES NAV NEW IN 2007, DID NOT NOTICE THE 40~50MPH JUDDER DURING THE 10 MINUTES TEST DRIVE. I DID NOTICE THAT WHILE DRIVING IT BACK HOME, BUT THAT WAS TOO LATE AND THE MONEY WAS WITH THE DEALER ALREADY. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL, EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN FIND LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FROM INTERNET. I SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE RESEARCH BEFORE I MADE THIS PURCHASE. TOO MUCH PENALTY TO TRADE IN FOR OTHERS. FROM THAT ON, I JUST AVOID THAT SPEED RANGE AS MUCH AS I COULD. AFTER DEALER UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION CODE LAST YEAR, THE VIBRATION STILL EXISTS AND JUST SLIGHTLY IMPROVED. BUT THE DOWN SHIFT IS KIND OF ROUGH WHEN CRUISING TO SLOW DOWN. SOMETIMES IT EVEN STUCK AT UNEXPECTED LOW GEAR WHEN DRIVING ON A DOWN HILL WHILE GAS IS OFF. EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAVE 38K MILES ON IT SO FAR, BUT WORRY IT MIGHT NOT LAST LONG ENOUGH TO WORTH THE MONEY I PAID. ANY WAY, I JUST TOLD ALL MY FRIENDS GO GET A "TOYOTA SIENNA" AND DEFINITELY NOT HONDA ODYSSEY. HONDA/ACURA HAVE LOTS OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THEY NEED TO RECALL ALL THOSE CARS. THIS IS THE FIRST AND LAST HONDA FOR ME, NO MORE HONDA ....! *KB

STEERING
POWER STEERING PUMP IS FAILING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AT LOW ENGINE SPEEDS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED (NOT INTERMITTENT). CONDITION MAKES IT DIFFICULT AND SLOW TO MANUEVER THE VEHICLE DURING PARKING LOT TYPE MANEUVERS. THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THE CONDITION WAS WHILE PARALLEL PARKING IN THE CITY DURING A TIME OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. NOTE: POWER STEERING RESERVOIR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP DUE TO AIR INGESTION PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS A ONE OWNER AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT ONLY HONDA POWER STEERING FLUID HAS EVER BEEN USED. *TR
