THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR FELL OFF. WE ARE LUCKY NO ONE GOT HURT. MY 81 YEAR OLD MOTHER-IN-LAW HAD TO SIT IN BACK AND HOLD IT TO LET ME KNOW IF IT STARTED SLIPPING. WE WERE IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AND WHEN IT WAS OPENED IT JUST FELL. A SMALL AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BUT THANK GOD THAT IS ALL THE DAMAGE THAT DAY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING (IN MOTION) WITH MY WIFE AND 5 CHILDREN ON A STRAIGHT, SMOOTH STRETCH (NO CURVES OR LANE CHANGES) OF EASTBOUND I-84 NEAR BURLEY/RUPERT, IDAHO. THERE WAS A LIGHT DRIZZLE, TEMP OF ~60 F, AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN 300 FEET FRONT, SIDE, OR REAR. ALL WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLE WERE CLOSED, AND INTERIOR TEMP OF THE VEHICLE WAS ~68 F. WE HEARD A VERY LOUD, SCARY SOUND -- LIKE A SHOTGUN OR AS IF WE HAD DRIVEN UNDER A HUGE WATERFALL. I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW NO OBVIOUS ISSUES, THEN LOOKED UP AND OPENED THE CLOSED SLIDING SUNROOF COVER. I FOUND THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED, WHICH SCARED ME EVEN MORE, AND PROMPTLY CLOSED THE COVER TO PREVENT GLASS FROM FALLING ON ME, MY WIFE, OR MY 1 AND 3 Y/O DAUGHTERS WHO WERE SEATED IN THE SECOND ROW. WE STOPPED AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE REST AREA TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE AND TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS. AS WE DROVE, WE HEARD GLASS CONTINUE TO BREAK OFF AND BOTH SLIDE FROM THE CAR ROOF ONTO THE ROAD SURFACE, AS WELL AS TOWARD THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE ROOF AND HEADLINER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING A BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY 2019, WITH 177 MILEAGE, THE CAR HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, BLIND SPOT INFO SYSTEM PROBLEM, AND EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM. AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED, I SAW THE RPM INCREASED TO 5000-6000R/MIN AND I HEARD LOUD VROOM NOISE COMING OUR FROM MY CAR. WHILE THE CAR STILL HAD SOME MOMENTUM RIGHT OFF THE FREEWAY, I MADE TWO RIGHT TURN AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN NEAR MY APARTMENT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AT AROUND 8:30PM, AND OTHER CARS HAD TO DRIVE AROUND US. MY WIFE AND TWO TODDLERS WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME. WE WERE VERY FRIGHTENED BY THIS INCIDENT AS WE COULD NOT BELIEVE AN ENGINE/TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAN HAPPENED TO A BRAND NEW HONDA CAR WITH ONLY 177 MILEAGE.

AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WE PARKED OUR MINIVAN IN OUR PARKING SPOT BEHIND OUR HOUSE. WHILE GETTING OUT OF THE MINIVAN THERE WAS AN ODOR AND A TINY BIT OF SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER WAITING A COUPLE MINUTES THE SMOKE SEEMED TO GO AWAY. WE LEFT THE MINIVAN PARKED AND ABOUT 10-20 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED ON FIRE AND WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM OUR NEIGHBORS THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN CALLED AND THEY WERE PUTTING OUT THE FIRE. I AM UPLOADING A PICTURE OF THE BURNT MINIVAN AND THE LAST SERVICE RECORD FOR A REGULAR OIL CHANGE ON 12/29/2018

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, SAW A BOW TIE SHAPED HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MOONROOF. WHEN I HEARD THE NOISE, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH IN A LOCAL STREET IN START STOP TRAFFIC DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE. TEMPERATURES WERE MILD, AND THERE WERE NO LARGE VEHICLES OR FLYING DEBRIS AROUND THAT I NOTICED THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE HOLE. I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS AROUND MY FAMILY, AND WAS QUOTED ABOUT $900 FOR PARTS AND LABOR.

AT 26608 MILES FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED. HONDA DEALER DID THIS AT 'NO CHARGE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY.' ROTORS VIBRATED AGAIN AT 50000 MILES AND WERE REPLACED INDEPENDENTLY WITH NON HONDA PARTS. NOW AGAIN AT 70000 MILES THE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING IS WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE. BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AS WELL WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. WITH SO MANY OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT.

THE PAINT STARTED PEELING OFF IN THE AREA ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD IN THE 3RD YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP (HONDA OF CLEAR LAKE) DID NOT CONSIDER THAT AS WARRANTY WHEN THE ISSUE WAS POINTED OUT TO THEM. AN INDEPENDENT QUOTE FOR FIXING THE PAINT (PEARL WHITE) WAS WELL OVER $2000. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW CAR, HONDA MUST OWN UP THE ISSUE AND DO THIS PAINT RELATED FIX FREE OF CHARGE, ON DOING A SEARCH ON ODYSSEY OWNERS FORA, I NOTED THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE MODEL.

CHECK EMISSION MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. ON CHECKING THE CODES VIA OBD - IT SHOWS P3400 BANK 1 VALVE STUCK ERROR CODE POINTING TO A FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SWITCH. I CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL USING THE DIPSTICK WHICH SHOWS THE OIL LEVELS ARE WITHIN THE LIMITS ON THE STICK. THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT + CHECK EMISSIONS MSG) SUDDENLY APPEARED WHILE DRIVING ON A WARM AFTERNOON AT 45MPH (ABOUT 15 MINUTES INTO THE RIDE).

2019 HONDA ODDESAY BATTERY DIED ON US AT 2960 MILES! AFTER MY WIFE AND MY TWO BABIES, DROVE THE CAR FOR ALMOST 45 MIN. WENT TO THE ZOO AND CAME BACK 4 HOURS LATER ONLY TO FIND THE CAR BATTERY DEAD! 4/7/19, 4:45 PM! CALLED HONDA ROAD ASSISTANT AND WHEN FINALLY ARRIVED AT 5:20 PM HE HAD A HARD TIME CLAMPING HIS PORTABLE BATTERY PACK INTO THE CAR BATTERY DUE TO LIMITED SPACE AROUND THOSE BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS. HE HAD TO HOLD THE CLAPS MANUALLY IN PLACE! SO EVEN IF I HAD WAS THERE AND HAD A PORTABLE BATTERY I COULDN'T START UP THE CARS SINCE IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLAMPS TO BATTERY TERMINALS SECURELY AND JUMP INSIDE TO PUSH THE IGNITION KEY!
