POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE IS HESITANT WHEN ACCELERATING AND JOLTS WHEN SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING. I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED FOR A SERPENTINE BELT AND I WAS TOLD THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER WAS LEAKING SO THAT HAD TO BE CHANGED ALSO. EVERYTHING WAS 'CHECKED OUT' BY A CERTIFIED HONDA SPECIALIST AND THEY DIDN'T FEEL THE ISSUE. IT'S BECOMING WORSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE ON 9/17/2019. I DROVE TO WORK AS USUAL, MADE SURE ALL ELECTRICALS (E.G., DOME LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, ETC.) WERE OFF, PARKED AND ALARMED MY VEHICLE. CAR REMAINED PARKED WHILE I WORKED. AFTER MY SHIFT, I TRIED TO USE THE REMOTE ENGINE START, BUT NOTICED THE CAR DIDN'T START. I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON KEY FOB, BUT NO RESPONSE; THE CAR REMAINED LOCKED. I TRIED TO UNLOCK VIA HONDALINK APP, WHICH DISPLAYED THAT CAR WAS UNLOCKED. I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN ANY CAR DOOR, BUT THEY REMAINED LOCKED. I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN 94*F HEAT AND NO NEARBY SHADE. LUCKILY MY FAMILY WEREN'T THERE OR THEY WOULD'VE ALSO BEEN LEFT BAKING IN THE HEAT. I USED THE MANUAL KEY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND GOT IN. THEN TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT NO RESPONSE AT ALL (I.E, NO LIGHTS ON THE HUD, LCD MONITORS, ETC.). ALSO TRIED UNLOCKING OTHER DOORS FROM INSIDE; NOTHING WORKED. CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE & THEY SENT SOMEONE TO HELP. GUY TRIED JUMP STARTING CAR, STILL NOTHING. SAID HE EVEN SENT "DIRECT CURRENT" TO CAR, BUT ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE; NO LIGHTS OF ANY KIND, NO ACCESS TO UNLOCK OTHER DOORS OR OPEN WINDOWS. CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AGAIN. THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO TOW CAR TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP. TOW DRIVER ARRIVED, BUT COULDN'T TOW MY CAR AS THERE WERE CARS PARKED IN FRONT & IN BACK OF MY CAR. THERE WAS ALSO NO WAY FOR HIM TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT FEATURE. WE LOOKED IN CAR MANUAL FOR SOLUTION. ABOUT 2 HRS LATER, THE DRIVER DISCOVERED HE WAS ABLE TO START CAR BY USING KEY FOB TO PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON. I DROVE TO DEALERSHIP & TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. SAID THEY WOULD PERFORM THOROUGH INSPECTION. IT'S BEEN 1.5 DAYS & THEY STILL DON'T KNOW THE PROBLEM. SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. I'M SCHEDULED TO PICK UP MY CAR TODAY BUT AM HESITANT & AFRAID OF BEING STRANDED WITH MY FAMILY WHEN TRAVELLING.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HAND WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK OF THE REAR SLIDING DOOR, THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER HAND. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.*DT FROM THE CONTACT'S WIFE MY NAME IS MARY JO WELZ, NUMBER XXX XXX XXXX. I AM THE WIFE OF THE CONTACT. I WAS IN THE BACK SEAT ATTEMPTING TO PULL THE SEAT BELT FORWARD AROUND ME WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSING AND CLOSED ON MY HAND. THERE WAS NO SENSOR THAT OPENED THE DOOR AND MY FINGERS WERE PINCHED IN THE DOOR WHEN MY HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY OPENED THE DOOR, AS I WAS YELLING IN PAIN. MY FINGERS WERE SWOLLEN FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEY WERE SORE FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THEY SEEM OK BUT IF I HAVE ANY FURTHER PAIN OR STIFFNESS, I WILL SEE A DOCTOR. OUR CONCERN WAS, IF THERE WAS A CHILD OR PET, THEY COULD EASILY GET THEIR DIGITS CAUGHT IN THE TRACK WHILE THE DOOR IS CLOSING IF THERE IS NO SAFETY SENSOR INSTALLED.

STRUCTURE:BODY
ON SEPTEMBER 12TH 2019, AROUND 11PM I WAS DRIVING APPROX 45MPH ON A ROAD WITH NO OTHER CARS IN SIGHT. IT WAS ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR WITH THE HEAT INDEX THAT DAY OVER 100 DEGREES F. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION ABOVE MY HEAD. AFTER RECOVERING FROM THE SHOCK, I LOOKED UP AND DISCOVERED THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED COMPLETELY (STILL TOGETHER). I PULLED OVER. THERE WAS NO HOLES OR NICKS BUT A LARGE OUTWARD PROTRUSION AS IF THE IT EXPLODED OUTWARD FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. AS I DROVE IT HOME SOME OF THE TOP PIECES OF THE CRACK EVENTUALLY BROKE AWAY FORMING A HOLE. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT BUT JUST CLAIMED THAT A ROCK MUST HAVE HIT IT. THEY TOLD ME THE LARGE UPWARD PROTRUSION WAS CAUSED MY DRIVING WIND AFTER THE CRACK HAD HAPPENED (BUT I PULLED OVER INSTANTLY). THIS SEEMS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND I AM SAD THAT THE DEALER WON'T EVEN AKNOWLEDGE THE POSSIBILITY OF A DEFECT IN THE SUNROOF GLASS.
