ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON RURAL PAVED HIGHWAY, OUR 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN APPLIED MODERATE BRAKING (WITH ZERO DRIVER INPUT) TO THE LEFT-FRONT WHEEL TWICE WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO OF EACH OTHER. THIS BRAKING CAUSED THE VAN TO PULL MODERATELY TO THE LEFT AND NEARLY CROSS THE HIGHWAY CENTERLINE. THE VSA LIGHT ICON (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) FLASHED ON THE DASH DURING THIS EVENT. THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNNY, DRY DAY WITH TEMPERATURE AROUND 70F. VAN WAS TRAVELING ON A PERFECTLY STRAIGHT SECTION OF HIGHWAY. NO TRACTION ISSUES WHATSOEVER.

DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. I GOT A EMERGENCY TONE TELLING ME SOMETHING WAS WRONG, BUT NO INDICATION ON THE DASH. I FOUND A COUPLE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND STOPPED BY THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER (PIAZZA), BUT THEY SAID THE VIN HAS NO RECALLS AND THE RECALL IS TOO OLD. I JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE A MONTH AGO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE KNOWN BY HONDA AND EVEN IF IT IS HAPPENING ONLY NOW, THE DEALER SHOULD REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME.

AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW/NORMAL SPEED ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, I WENT OVER A GENTLE SPEED BUMP AND ON THE WAY DOWN, THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR STRUCK WHAT I BELIEVE IS PART OF THE ROADWAY. IT WAS A MINOR BUMP - BUT SOME OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS TO DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED ALONG WITH BOTH KNEE AIRBAGS. THIS WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED SINCE WE WERE DRIVING AT NORMAL RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS AND SLOWED FOR THE SPEED BUMP. AT THIS SPEED, WHATEVER IT STRUCK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS A APPROXIMATELY 140,000 MI. WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH.TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP MALFUNCTIONED AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. HAD TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO EXIT. WHEN SPEED PERMITTED SHIFT DOWN TO WND AND QSTACKS GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP INTO A PARKIN* LOT. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION FACILITY. PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK AND SMELLED THE FLUID WHICH EMITTED A VERY PUNGENT SMELL. THE FLUID WAS NOT BLACK. THE FLUID HAD BEEN CHANGED 15- 20,000 MI EARLIER. WHEN TALKING TO MECHANIC HE TOLD ME ALMOST EXACTLY HOW MANY M8LES HE THOUGHT THE CAR HAD BECAUSE HE HAD SEEN SO MANY HONDA'S WITH EXACTLY THIS SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA DID NOT DESIGN THIS TRANSMISSION PROPERLY TO LAST WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE AND FLUID CHANGES.

CAR WAS PARKED IN PARKING LOT. I UNLOCKED SIDE DOORS AND PLACED MY PURSE WITH MY KEY FOB INSIDE AND STRAPPED ONE 4 YEAR OLD INTO ONE CAR SEAT IN PASSENGER MIDDLE SEAT AND THEN ANOTHER 4 YEAR OLD IN DRIVER'S SIDE MIDDLE SEAT CARSEAT. I HIT THE DOOR CLOSE BUTTONS RESPECTIVELY. I THEN WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO ENTER AND THE DOOR WAS LOCKED. I THEN TRIED THE SLIDER BEHIND ME AND THAT WAS LOCKED, TOO. I WALKED AROUND ALL THE DOORS OF THE VAN AND ALL WERE LOCKED. THE KEY AND THE PRESCHOOLERS WERE ALL IN THE CAR. I COAXED ONE 4 YEAR OLD WHO COULD GET OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT TO CLIMB UP FRONT TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY BUT UPON ME WATCHING THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE EITHER. HER CHECKED THE PASSENGER DOOR WHICH ALSO WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I ATTEMPTED TO GET HELP IN THE PARKING LOT FOR SOMEONE TO GO INTO THE STORE AND GET HELP BUT NO-ONE CAME. THE 4 YEAR OLD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLASS WAS FRANTIC AS I KEPT TRYING TO OPEN ALL OF THE DOORS. I FINALLY GOT HIM TO GET IN MY PURSE AND WAS TRYING TO HELP HIM, THROUGH THE GLASS, TO UNLOCK THE PHONE TO CALL 911 WHEN THE CAR ALARM ENACTED AND ALTHOUGH MY CAR DOOR STILL WOULDN'T OPEN THE OTHER 4 YEAR OLD MANAGED TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE THE LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR TO ENABLE ME TO CLIMB THROUGH AND START THE CAR. NO HELP CAME AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL THEY WERE NOT YOUNGER AND I WASN'T HOTTER OUTSIDE. THE 4 YEAR OLDS WERE TERRIFIED. I SPOKE WITH HONDA SERVICE ON THE PHONE AND THE EMPLOYEE SAID IT DIDN'T SOUND ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL AND FELT NO NEED FOR ME TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HELLO I HAVE 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, THAT FREEZES UP, MUSIC NOT PLAYING, SCREEN BEING UNRESPONSIVE, CABIN WATCH FEATURE FREEZES, SKIPS PICTURE OR DOESN'T DISPLAY IT AT ALL OR WITH MESSAGE THAT PICTURE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED. RAIN SENSING WIPERS DO NOT WORK AS INTENDED. WHEN IS BARELY RAINING THEY GO FAST, WHEN IS RAINING A LOT WIPERS ARE WORKING SLOW. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIX ISSUES OR THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THEM. I TRY TO TAKE VIDEOS/PHOTOS OF EVERY TIME SOMETHING IS HAPPENING BUT THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T TAKE THAT AS A PROOF THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. THEY DRIVE CAR FOR TWO MILES VS MINE 27K MILES IN 10 MONTHS, AND ALWAYS SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. I CALLED HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES TO HAVE ISSUES RESOLVED, ALWAYS SAME STORY FROM BOTH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE OR DEALERSHIP, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN UPDATE. I AM WAITING OVER 6 MONTHS AND NOTHING. I HAVE MORE VIDEOS/PICTURES AVAILABLE. WE HAVE TWO SAME VEHICLES IN OUR HOUSEHOLD, MY WIFE'S CAR HAVE SAME ISSUES.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES ROUGH SHIFTING WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP IN STOP IN GO TRAFFIC. IT IS LIKE IT FALLS INTO GEAR, AND NOT A SMOOTH SHIFT. VERY DISAPPOINTED FOR A $33,000 PURCHASE. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, OR ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ONE DAY AFTER CHANGING ENGINE OIL AT HONDA DEALERSHOP LAST WEEK MONDAY, THERE WAS FLICKERING ON DASH BOARD AFTER TURNING THE POWER OFF. THE SYMPTOM WAS GETTING WORSE AND ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY (YESTERDAY), THE CAR HORN HONKING ITSELF. AND YESTERDAY, THE DASH BOARD POWER COULDN'T BE TURNED OFF WHEN I TURNED THE POWER SWITCH OFF (ENGINE OFF LUCKILY) AND THE FLICKERING GOT WORSE LAST NIGHT. SO, I DID UNPLUG THE BATTERY WITH A WORRY OF FULLY DRAINED BATTERY OVERNIGHT. TODAY MORNING, I PLUG THE BATTERY BACK AND GET THE SAME ISSUE, AND LUCKILY IGNITE THE ENGINE AND WENT TO DEALER SHOP AGAIN. THEY DID DIAGNOSIS AND SAID KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HERE IS THE SUMMARY OF THE SYMPTOMS: LAST WEEK FLICKERING DASH BOARD WITH FCW SYSTEM FAILED. AND HONKING ITSELF WITH KEEPING FLICKERING. YESTERDAY, I SAW ERROR MESSAGE OF "KEYLESS SYSTEM ERROR". AND I WENT TO DEALERSHOP IN THIS MORNING. HERE IS MY SPECULATION: DURING OIL CHANGE, THERE WAS OIL SPILLING, WHICH CAUSES SHORTING OF CIRCUITRY (OR TECHNICIAN ACCIDENTLY HIT SOME PARTS INSIDE). IT CAUSES FREQUENT ON/OFF OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM, ENDING UP BREAKING THE KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT. THE DEALER DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, BUT CHARGED ME TO REPLACE THE PARTS SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY.
