JUST PURCHASED THIS VAN, BRAND NEW, LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO. WHEN DRIVING MY CAR, AND IN THE MIDST OF A TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, MY CAR SHUT DOWN. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, I COULDN'T MOVE THE WHEEL. IT JUST WENT DEAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE SERIES OF ISSUES I HAD EXPERIENCED IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS EVENT, WHICH INCLUDED NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE TRUNK, A MESSAGE FLASHING THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND TO TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE (NO LIGHTS WERE ON), ANTI-THEFT MESSAGE CAME UP TWICE, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE FRONT SAFETY SENSORS SAID THEY WERE NOT OPERABLE (WHICH ARE CONTROLLED BY A BOX BY FRONT REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND SENSOR WAS NOT BLOCKED), CALLS HAVE BEEN DROPPED RANDOMLY, SIDE DOORS STICK, ETC. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN OTA SYSTEM UPDATE, AND THAT THE CAR SHUT DOWN AS A RESULT. WHEN I QUESTIONED WHY THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION DUE TO A NEED FOR A SYSTEM UPDATE, I WAS TOLD THAT IS WHAT THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO DO. I AGAIN REPEATED, THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION JUST BECAUSE OF A SYSTEM UPDATE? I WAS TOLD YES, ALL COMPUTER ASSISTED CARS ARE DESIGNED THAT WAY. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING ELSE IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT PERILOUS DANGER AND RISK WHEN THESE CARS ARE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE NOW BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR AND SOMEONE DIES. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING MY FAMILY BACK IN THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH NO SATISFACTORY ANSWER FROM THE DEALER ON WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE MAKES HARD SHIFTS IN LOWER GEARS, CAUSING A LACK OF ACCELERATION AND THEN A LURCH WITH ENGINE/TRANSMISSION CLUNK. OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOWED OR STOPPED POSITION, SO VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS. HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH LACK OF RESOLUTION FOUND IN ONLINE FORUMS AS WELL. PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN SINCE ACCELERATION IS ALTERED AND SHIFTING IS SLOWED. HAS OCCURED ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS AND HIGHWAY AND AT VARYING OUTDOOR TEMPERATURES.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UPON PROCEEDING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE VAN BEGAN TO AUTOMATICALLY BREAK TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM APPROXIMATELY 30-35MPH, SCREECHING TIRES, THEN SHUTTING COMPLETELY OFF. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CLUSTER WAS DARK AS WAS THE COMPUTER DISPLAY FOR THE RADIO/OTHER CONTROLS. LOOKING DOWN THE "PARK" INDICATOR WAS LIT RED. I PRESSED THE BREAK AND THE VAN STARTED UP AND WENT INTO GEAR DRIVING AS IF NOTHING OCCURRED. THIS SCARED ME AND UPON MY CALL TO HONDA, THEY SAID IT'S RELATED TO ANOTHER "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UPDATE" WHICH NEEDS TO OCCUR BUT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I REACHED OUT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE SITUATION AND THEY ADVISED ME TO USE THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE THE VAN TAKEN TO THEM FOR SAFETY REASONS.

WE ARE THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VAN BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER. AT APPROXIMATELY 145K MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALERS WANTED A SMALL FORTUNE TO REPAIR IT, MORE THAN THE CAR WAS WORTH IT. I LEARNED THAT IT IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH THOSE HONDA ODYSSEYS. THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED THOUGH.

AIR BAGS
THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ON OUR 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY DEPLOYED WITHOUT KNOWN CAUSE WHILE ROLLING INTO OUR GARAGE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 9:00AM ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH, 2018. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS TRAUMATIC, AS WE HAVE COME TO RELY ON THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF THE HONDA ODYSSEY. THE AIRBAG STRUCK MY WIFE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HER HEAD, BUT THANKFULLY DID NOT STRIKE OUR DAUGHTER IN THE CAR SEAT. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED BUT LOOKS TO BE LIMITED TO BRUISING AND SORENESS. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING LESS THAN 1 MILE PER HOUR AND WAS HALF WAY INTO THE GARAGE. THERE WAS OVER 1 FOOT OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE CAR AND THE GARAGE FRAME. THERE WAS NOT JUST CAUSE FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE SIDE-CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THE DEALERSHIP STALLED THE PROCESS TO REFER THE MATTER TO HONDA AMERICA. NOW, HONDA AMERICA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. HONDA AMERICA IDENTIFIED HISTORICAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE AND BELIEVES THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT. I AM THANKFUL MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I ASK THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS EVENT, AS I BELIEVE THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE IT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE PUBLIC FROM A FAULTY DESIGN WITHIN HONDA ODYSSEY THAT CAN CAUSE THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS.
