SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE SOFT PEDAL/WEAK PERFORMANCE - LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE I STRONGLY FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT AND THE PERFORMANCE IS NOT GOOD. IT HAS A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS ABOUT 50K MILES. AT 30K THE BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED BY A DEALER, ALONG WITH OTHER MAJOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULED. STILL I FELT THE SAME ISSUE AT 45K, BUT THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT PADS OF THE BRAKE ONE YEAR AGO, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED AS OF NOW. IN THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT BECAUSE IT IS A BIGGER CAR AND HONDA'S BRAKE STYLE. BUT I FOUND OTHER SIMILAR MINIVAN I RENTED FOR A TRAVEL HAD A TIGHT AND GOOD PERFORMING BRAKING SYSTEM, AND ALSO I PURCHASED A HONDA CR-V THIS JANUARY WHICH HAS A VERY TIGHT AND GOOD PERFORMING BRAKE AS WELL. IN THE MEAN TIME, I FOUND A PREVIOUS BRAKE RELATED RECALL FOR THE HONDA ODYSSEY 2007-8 MODELS. MY 2010 MODEL HAS THE SIMILAR BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER MODELS - SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. I AM NOT SURE HOW HONDA HAS SOLVED THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM AND WHETHER IS THERE ANY SIMILAR PROBLEM POSSIBLY REMAINING IN THE LATER MODEL. SIMPLE BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT/ROTOR POLISHING AND SO ON, CAN NOT SOLVE THIS SOFT BRAKE PEDAL PROBLEM. DEALER HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM BUT SIMPLY REPLACING MY FRONT BRAKE PAD AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I AM AFRAID THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS HONDA ODYSSEY 2007-8 MODEL PROBLEMS.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE, MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THE PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN AFTER THIS INCIDENT INDICATE THE GLASS IS BOWED OUTWARD AS THOUGH IT WERE SUCKED FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT THE RESULT OF SOMETHING IMPACTING THE CAR. THERE WAS NO OBJECT FOUND IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE ON THE SUNROOF COVER. THE COVER ITSELF WAS NOT DAMAGED, ALSO DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS WAS AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION. IF THE SHADE HAD NOT BEEN CLOSED, I COULD'VE EASILY BEEN KILLED, OR AT THE VERY LEAST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. THIS COULD KILL SMALL CHILDREN AND CAUSE MANY OTHER ACCIDENTS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE JERKED LIGHTLY EACH AND EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE VIBRATION IS MORE OBVIOUSLY WHEN VEHICLE CHANGED FROM STOP TO MOTION. HOWEVER, THE VIBRATION CAN STILL BE PERCEIVED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE FASTER THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE LESS VIBRATION PERCEIVED. THE CAR RUNS SMOOTHLY IF IT IS RUNNING AT THE SPEED 60MPH OR MORE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR USED LIGHTLY, PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND ONLY HAS 35K ON IT. OIL CHANGES PERFORMED REGULARLY EVERY 3K, AIR FILTER CHANGED YEARLY. *TR

STOPPED IN A SERVICE ROAD AROUND A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR CROSS TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. FOOT WAS ON BRAKE. VEHICLE ENGINE BEGAN RACING. PRESSED HARDER ON BRAKE TO HOLD VEHICLE BACK TO PREVENT HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO STOP FROM GOING FORWARD. TURNED OFF IGNITION SWITCH. STARTED VEHICLE AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I OPERATE THE BRAKE AND GAS ONLY WITH MY RIGHT FOOT. I CANNOT PRESS THE GAS WHILE MY RIGHT FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THIS VAN EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. DAY WAS SUNNY AND ABOUT 65F.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAVELING IN MOTION AT 40MPH THAN A SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF ENGINE AND SPEED. VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP WITH BRAKES. HONDA ODYSSEY WAS PUT ON NEUTRAL THAN BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO STOP VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS ON A SECONDARY RODE AT THE TIME OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION. WE CALLED AAA TO PICK UP OUR HONDA ODYSSEY AND TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IN MY VAN. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM IN MY 2010 YEAR VAN. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR MY PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH SIDE POWER SLIDING DOORS WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO AND THEY ARE BOTH GOING TO NEED REPAIR AGAIN AS THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. THEY CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND THEN POP BACK OPEN LEAVING THEM ON AND THE OPEN DOOR SOUND INDICATORS REMAINS ON. ALSO WHEN TURNING, THE DOOR WILL CLOSE AND THEN OPEN BACK UP CREATING AIR TO COME THROUGH THE OPENINGS. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND VERY UNSAFE FOR OUR FAMILY TO TRAVEL IN. WE CAN'T EVEN TURN THE POWER OFF AND COMPLETELY CLOSE THE DOOR WITHOUT IT POPPING BACK OPEN. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM HONDA ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED AND ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE AN OBJECT FROM THE TRUNK, THE OBJECT WAS FOUND TO BE WET AND MOLDED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WHOLE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR HEADLINER WERE WET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAMS THAT MEET THE ROOF RAILS WERE SEPARATING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

POWER TRAIN
OCCASIONALLY AS I COME TO A STOP (APPLY THE BREAKS, THE ENGINE WOULD SURGE UP TO 5,000 RPM), THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD UNTIL THE I APPLIED ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE BREAKS. THE ENGINE WOULD SHIFT DOWN TO THE IDLE CONFIGURATION. . I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 FOR MAINTENANCE THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT WITHOUT THE REPLICATION THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED 2 MINOR ACCIDENTS AND I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS MAY OCCUR. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE NYLON GUIDE ROLLERS ON THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR BROKE. THESE ROLLERS APPARENTLY CONTRIBUTE TO KEEPING THE DOOR UP AND INSIDE THE GUIDE RAIL. THIS CAUSED THE DOOR TO DROP AND BE SUSPENDED BY THE MOTORIZED CABLE THAT OPENS/CLOSES THE DOOR AND CANTILEVERED OFF OF THE BOTTOM GUIDE. THIS HAPPENED AFTER BEING PARKED AND ACTUATING THE DOOR. THERE WAS A SOUND OF THE NYLON GUIDES CRACKING AND THE SLIDER HITTING THE BODY PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT. I CONSIDER IT UNSAFE THAT THE DOOR BECAME UNUSABLE AND WOULD NOT RETURN CLOSED UNLESS UNBOLTED AND PUSHED IN. IT THEN DID NOT LATCH AND HAD TO BE CHAINED/TIED DOWN. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE DOOR. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I MUST HAVE HAD A COMMUNICATION ISSUE. IT WAS CHARACTERIZED IN THE ITEMIZED STATEMENT DIFFERENTLY THAN MY VERBAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT WAS WRITTEN UP AS A DOOR JAM. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE PERSON WAS QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE I EXPERIENCED AND SAID IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON. I WAS ADVISED IF THE DOOR BECAME COMPLETELY DETACHED TO GO TO A BODY SHOP FIRST. MY INSTANCE WAS NOT THAT SEVERE.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER FRONT BRAKES WERE REPLACED PEDAL HEIGHT FELT DECENT. WHEN STOPPING ON A RAINY DAY I FELT THE ABS KICK IN. IT MADE A DIFFERENT SOUND THAN I'VE HEARD BEFORE. EVER SINCE THEN THE PEDAL HEIGHT HAS NOT FELT NORMAL. FEELS SOFT. IF YOU PUMP IT A COUPLE TIMES ITS NOT TOO BAD BUT WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT IN A SUDDEN STOP. THE PEDAL FEELS AS THOUGH IT TRAVELS FARTHER BEFORE ENGAGING AND WHEN IT DOES, IT IS STILL NOT HARD LIKE MY FORD. FOR A VEHICLE LIKE THIS WITH 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES IT SHOULD STOP ON A DIME LIKE IT USED TO. HAD THE BRAKE FLUID CHANGED AT THE DEALER. NO DIFFERENCE. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A SPEC FOR THE PEDAL HEIGHT. INTERESTING. I GUESS THE PEDAL CAN NEVER BE TOO LOW IF THERE'S NO SPEC, ONLY SUBJECTIVE TO WHAT HONDA WANTS TO ADMIT IS BAD OR NOT. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH I HAVE A 1989 LINCOLN MARK VII WITH THE ORGINAL FORD SERVICE MANUAL. THERE IS A SPECIFIC RANGE FOR THE PEDAL HEIGHT WHEN MEASURED FROM THE FLOOR BOARD. SURPRISING HOW FORD HAS HAD IT SINCE 1989 AND HONDA IS NOT REQUIRED. AGAIN - WE CAN ALL THINK THE PEDAL IS TOO LOW BUT IT'S ULTIMATELY HONDA'S OPINION SINCE THERE'S NOTHING TO MEASURE IT AGAINST. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW SO I KNOW HOW THE BRAKES USED TO, AND SHOULD FEEL. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB WITH SIMILAR STORIES FROM THE DEALERS AND HONDA I HOPE NHTSA WILL FINALLY FORCE THIS ISSUE INTO A RECALL BY REASSESSING THE VEHICLES STOPPING DISTANCE AGAINST WHAT WAS ADVERTISED. OR IS THIS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR THE 3/36 WARRANTY? NHTSA, IN THE WAKE OF THE VW SCANDAL, PLEASE FINALLY FORCE HONDA TO PULL THEIR HEAD OF THE SAND, ADMIT AND CORRECT THESE ISSUES SO MANY CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. ESPECIALLY AS IT PERTAINS TO SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS BRAKES.

SIMILAR TO CAMPAIGN ID # 12V062000 (FOR OLDER 2008-09 ODYSSEYS), THE TAILGATE ON MY 2010 ODYSSEY HAS FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. OPENING IT VIA ELECTRICAL BUTTONS (IN-CAR DASHBOARD OR REMOTE BUTTONS) RESULTS IN THE TAILGATE RAISING, BOUNCING UP AND DOWN, THEN CLOSING RIGHT BACK DOWN. OPENING IT MANUALLY PRODUCES ADDITIONAL RESISTANCE TO OPENING THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE THE FAILURE; THEN THE TAILGATE REFUSES TO STAY UP IN THE OPEN POSITION AND SLAMS DOWN WITH ADDITIONAL FORCE THAT CAN HURT AN ADULT, AND SERIOUSLY INJURE A CHILD. BASED ON CAMPAIGN ID # 12V062000, SUSPECTED FAILURE POINTS ARE THE TAILGATE GAS-FILLED STRUTS. VIDEO OF THE FAILURE MODE IS POSTED ON YOUTUBE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=8J54VWBCMAG

RIGHT REAR TAIL LAMP UNIT WAS COLLECTING WATER INSIDE THE HOUSING. DEALER ADVISED TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AS IT WAS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IF THERE WAS A SHORT CIRCUIT. IN JULY 2015, LEFT REAR TAIL LAMP STARTING COLLECTING WATER AS WELL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
SELF ACCELERATION ON HIGHWAY: DRIVING ON HIGHWAY (NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY) I REALIZED CAR (2010 ODYSSEY EX) WAS STARTING TO SPEED UP ON ITS OWN, EVEN WITH BRAKE (FOOT COMPLETELY OFF GAS PEDAL) IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 55 MPH: WHEN I BRAKED HARDER CAR SHOOK HEAVILY AS IF BRAKE WAS FIGHTING ENGINE. FINALLY (WITHIN 1-2 MILES) I CAME TO A SAFE AREA TO STOP (A SMALL REST-"TEXT" STOP) STOPPED ON BRAKE HARD AND PULLED HAND BRAKE, AND TURNED OFF ENGINE - SMOKE CAME OUT OF BRAKES . FRONT DISK BRAKES WERE GLOWING ORANGE. AFTER BRAKES COOLED DOWN RESTARTED CAR DROVE ABOUT 2 MILES AT 40MPH - ON HIGHWAY TO EXIT AND CHECKED INTO HOTEL.

AIR BAGS
ON 8/5/15 APPROXIMATELY 7:10 PM, I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY 37 TOWARDS VALLEJO. IT WAS ONE LANE HIGHWAY, MARSH LAND ON THE RIGHT AND CONCRETE BLOCK ON THE LEFT. A MAROON VAN LOST CONTROL, BUMPED INTO MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND HIT US FROM THE BEHIND. OUR ODYSSEY MINIVAN HAD A COSTCO SIZE IGLOO ICE CHEST, COMPUTER TOTE, AND A PLASTIC CRATE IN THE TRUNK, BUT IT WAS CRUSHED TO THE BACK ROW SEATS. ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT AND PASSENGER. DUE TO THE FACT THAT FRONT AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY, I HIT MY HEAD AND NECK FROM FRONT AND BACK MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE CRUSH. I HAD PAIN IN MY NECK AND HEAD IMMEDIATELY, AND I WAS TRANSPORTED TO KAISER PARMANENTE HOSPITAL. I WAS DISCHARGED NEXT DAY, BUT DUE TO THE CONCUSSION I HAVE BEEN SUFFERED BY MASSIVE, PAINFUL HEADACHE AND NAUSEA. THE BACK OF OUR MINIVAN WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH THIS UNSPEAKABLE FORCE. IF I WERE DRIVING 6 INCHES SLOWER, TWO CHILDREN WHO WERE SITTING IN THE VERY BACK ROW WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE FRONT AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED TO SAVE ME FROM INJURY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND LET US KNOW WHY THE FRONT AIR BAG OF OUR HONDA ODYSSEY DID NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD BE. THANK YOU. *TR
