ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN COLDER WEATHER THE BACK LIFT HATCH WILL NOT OPEN OR YOU HAVE TO TRY AND WARM IT UP SOMEHOW. DURING WARM WEATHER IT WILL OPEN RIGHT AWAY BUT WHEN IT COLD YOU HAVE TO STAND THERE WITH YOUR HAND ON THE BUTTON FOR 5 MINS OR IT MAY NOT OPEN UP AT ALL. PRIOR YEAR MODELS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS A RECALL BUT NOT THIS YEAR. I TOOK IT IN AT THE START OF SPRING AND BEFORE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WENT OUT AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT REPLACED A LATCH. IT WORKED FINE BECAUSE IT WAS WARM WEATHER AND SUMMER CAME BUT THE FIRST COLD NIGHT IN SEPTEMBER IT WOULDN'T WORK. I WENT BACK IN AND BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MONTHS AND SO MANY MILES THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT WHICH IS CRAZY CONSIDERING PREVIOUS MODELS HAD A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THAT PART AND NOT SOMETHING IT WASN'T.

SEATS
HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE THIRD ROW SEAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE WILL NOT LATCH RELIABLY TO THE FLOOR. SITTING ON THE SEAT AND/OR ACCELERATING CAUSES THE SEAT AND PASSENGER TO FLIP BACKWARDS. THE SEAT LATCH IS ON A SWINGING PANEL AND IS TOO FAR FORWARD TO MEET THE FLOOR MOUNTED HOOP. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY WAY TO ADJUST THE LATCH POSITION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ONCE THE ENGINE REACHES OPERATING TEMPERATURE THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE AND SHIFT GEARS. I MASH THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM GAUGE GOES UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE. I LET THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COOL DOWN AND SOMETIMES IT WILL OPERATE PROPERLY AGAIN UNTIL EVERYTHING WARMS UP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IM SITTING AT A LIGHT OR IN ACTUAL MOTION GOING DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE CEASES TO CONTINUE MOVING. I HAVE BEEN GOING 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOSES ALL MOVEMENT BUT THE CAR IS STILL REVING UP AND I CAN CHANGE GEARS BUT IT STOPS ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS. I CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY TELL ME ITS A VERY COMMON ISSUE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE PINPOINTED

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVE THROUGH ON DECEMBER 6, 2020. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE (I DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT - MY RIGHT FOOT) WITH MY RIGHT FOOT, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VAN MOVED ABOUT 5 FEET FORWARD AS I INCREASED THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WENT TO RED LINE. I PUSHED THE POWER BUTTON. NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING AS THE DRIVETHROUGH AHEAD OF ME WAS EMPTY. THE DAY BEFORE, THE LDW AND FCW FAIL LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECKOUT / DIAGNOSTICS OF WHAT HAPPENED. HONDA HAS OPENED A CASE ON THIS FOR US: CASE IS 11754879. NO PICTURES OR VIDEO AVAILABLE, UNFORTUNATELY, ALTHOUGH I AM CHECKING WITH FADI'S AT 12360 WESTHEIMER ROAD 77077.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
YES WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS MISSING A FEW FUSES, MY BACK LEFT DOOR WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE ON MY CAR DISPLAY IT ALWAYS SHOWS THAT THE BACK LEFT DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN. ALSO THE CAR WAS MISSING A BREAK PAD ON THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL. IT'S ALSO MISSING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DVD PLAYER DOESN'T WORK IT ALWAYS SAYS ERROR. AND THE CAR IS MISSING ALL MOTOR MOUNTS SO BASICALLY MY MOTOR IS JUST HANGING ON TOP OF CABLES IN MY CAR. THE GPS DISPLAY WAS ALSO MISSING AND MY FRONT RIGHT WINDOW DOESN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY UP. THE MAJOR #1 ISSUE IS THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN MY CAR. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN I'M SCARED ON DAY EVERYTHING IS FINE & THEN ONE DAY IT'S NOT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR GOD FORBID.
