SEATS
FOLSOM LAKE HONDA HAS NOT REPAIRED OUR SEAT FOR THE TWO SAFETY RECALLS THAT WE HAVE REPEATEDLY CALLED THEM ABOUT. THEY NEVER SEEM TO HAVE THE PART OR MAY JUST BE UNWILLING TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. AT THIS POINT WE ARE AFRAID TO SEAT OUR KIDS IN THE OUTER 2ND ROW SEATS.

THE CAR WAS OFF AND THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON WHICH WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. DIFFERENT LIGHTS STARTED TO ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD WITH THE CAR OFF. THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SHOPS TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CABIN WIRE HARNESS IS CORRODED DUE TO A LEAK IN THE ROOF RUN CHANNELS AND OR WINDSHIELD. THE UNDER THE DASH FUSE BOX IS ALSO SHOWING CORROSION AND NEEDS REPLACING. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 64000 MILES AND THE REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $3465. A VERY COSTLY REPAIR WHICH SEEMS IS DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN A STORE PARKING LOT, THE MINIVAN WAS SHUT OFF AND PARKED, MY HUSBAND TOOK THE KEYS AND LOCKED ME IN THE MINIVAN, NOT KNOWING I WOULD HAVE NO WAY OUT OF THE MINIVAN. I WAITED IN THE MINIVAN PERHAPS 10 MINUTES. THEN, I TRIED TO LEAVE THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, BOTH MANUALLY MOVING THE UNLOCK SWITCH NOR HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. INSTEAD THE CAR ALARM WENT OFF. I THEN TRIED TO LOWER THE POWER WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I THEN TRIED TO EXIT THE DRIVER DOOR. IT WAS LOCKED. THE MANUAL SWITCH AND AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVER WINDOW THROUGH THE POWER CONTROL BUTTON AND IT DID NOT OPEN. I TRIED TO OPEN THE POWER SUNROOF. IT DID NOT OPEN. I HIT THE OPEN TRUNK BUTTON, IT DID NOT OPEN. I TRIED THE SIDE SLIDING DOORS AND THEY DID NOT UNLOCK. I MADE SURE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK WAS OFF AND RETRIED ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ITEMS AND NOTHING UNLOCKED. I WAS TRAPPED IN MY MINIVAN ON A WARM DAY. I WAS SWEATING. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND TRIED EVERYTHING IN IT, BUT NONE OF IT WORKED. THE MINIVAN CAR ALARM REMAINED ON FOR A FEW MINUTES AND NO ONE WOULD HELP WALKING BY, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE CAR ALARM. AFTER ANOTHER FEW MINUTES, SOMEONE CAME TO THE MINIVAN AND I ASKED THEM FOR HELP AS BEST I COULD. THEY GAVE A DESCRIPTION OF MY MINIVAN/PLATE TO THE NEARBY STORE AND THEY FOUND MY HUSBAND OVER THE STORE INTERCOM. HE CAME OUT AND UNLOCKED ME WITH THE KEYS. I WAS TRAPPED IN THE MINIVAN FOR AROUND 20 MINUTES ALTOGETHER. IF NO ONE WOULD HAVE LUCKILY WALKED BY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED LONGER. I AM SCARED MY KIDS COULD GET TRAPPED IN THE MINIVAN OR I COULD GET TRAPPED AGAIN.

SEATS
AFTER THE THIRD ROW HAS BEEN FOLDED FLAT AND YOU ARE BRINGING IT BACK OUT TO MAKE IT A SEAT AGAIN, IT OFTEN WILL NOT LATCH WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO HELP GUIDE THE SEAT INTO THE PROPER PLACE. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WITH THE 2 SEAT SECTION AND NOT THE SINGLE SEAT SECTION (SINCE THEY FOLD 60/40). IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THE SEAT DID NOT LATCH, THEN IT CAN EASILY ROLL BACK AND TRY TO FOLD FLAT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SHOULD SOMEONE TRY TO CLIMB OVER IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT WHEN I SAW THAT A CHILD DIED BECAUSE OF IT, I WANTED TO REPORT IT.

POWER TRAIN
NHTSA RECALL 04V176000 DOES NOT INCLUDE OUR VIN, BUT IT SHOULD, BECAUSE THIS IS THE PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED WITH OUR VEHICLE 3 TIMES NOW. THE TRANSMISSION HAS OVERHEATED AND FAILED. AND ACCORDING TO 04V176000, TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING IS A SERIOUS HAZARD THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE!!! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING ON A 2-LANE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT ON HWY 80 TOWARDS RENO. THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED, SHE WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT THE SAME PLACE I WAS, ON 41 NORTH. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS ON A MEDIUM TO LONG TRIP GOING UP AN INCLINE. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS AS WELL, SO MUCH THAT THERE IS A SITE DEDICATED TO THIS VERY PROBLEM -- ODYSSEYTRANSMISSION.COM. IF YOU VISIT THIS WEBSITE YOU CAN SEE THE DEFINITE DIFFERENCE IN PROPORTION OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE EARLIER GENERATIONS VS THE LATER. IT APPEARS THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES FLUID FLOW CONSTRICTION DURING TORQUE CONVERTER LOCK, WHICH RESULTS IN OVERHEATING. IN THE LAST INCIDENT, AS DESCRIBED BY MY WIFE, SHE WAS DRIVING UP 41, AND THE ENGINE WENT UP TO AROUND 4000 RPM. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND SHE SMELLED TRANSMISSION FLUID BURNING. SHE HAD TO WAIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A WHILE, AND THEN IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. SHE GOT IT TO A SAFER PLACE AND THEN LET IT COOL FOR LONGER. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO GO HOME, WHICH WAS A COUPLE MILES AWAY, AND WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. WE HAD THIS TRANSMISSION REBUILT BY SHAWS AUTO SALES 2 TIMES. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO. WE HAVE NOT DONE ANY ABNORMAL DRIVING, OR ANY TOWING, OR ANYTHING. JUST NORMAL DRIVING. SO WE EXPECTED THE FIX TO LAST LONGER THAN THIS. SOUND LIKE A REASONABLE EXPECTATION? WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT WE DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. BUT OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY! THIS VIN AND OTHERS LIKE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN 04V176000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ALARM WENT ON AT AROUND 2AM AND KEPT ON GOING. SWITCHED IF OFF USING KEY FOB. CHECKED ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS AND NOTHING WAS OPEN. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES IT STARTED GOING OFF AGAIN BY ITSELF. AS I WAS WATCHING AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE ALARM TO GO OFF. THE SAME THING REPEATED OVER SEVERAL NIGHTS AND THIS BECAME AN ISSUE FOR US AND NEIGHBOR'S. FROM THEN ON, I HAVE STARTED TAKING OUT THE HORN FUSE WHEN PARKING. AS THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO, I HAVE GIVEN AN APPROXIMATE DATE BELOW. I AM HAVING THIS CHECKED BY A DEALER, THOUGH I DOUBT THEY CAN FIND THE CAUSE AS THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY. THIS HAS HOWEVER BECOME A MAJOR HEADACHE.

THE 2 SLIDING DOORS OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THE DOOR CLOSES AND LATCHES BUT BECOMES UNLATCHED WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ONLINE. WHEN WE CONTACT HONDA THEY SAY IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY WON'T FIX IT WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE MY VAN IS OUT OF WARRANTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

SEATS
PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAT IS EJECTING FROM THE FLOOR BOARD AND IS RECLINING ON IT'S OWN WHEN BREAKING OR GOING FORWARD. BOTH ON CITY & HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED FIRST ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO SUDDENLY BRAKE BECAUSE ANOTHER CAR CUT HIM OFF AND OUR 8 YR OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND SUDDENLY WENT FORWARD AND SIDEWAYS AND THE SEAT RECLINED AND WOULD NOT STAY IN POSITION. THE SEAT CAME OFF THE FLOOR BOARD BRACKETS WHICH ARE SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS . ALSO IN ONE PHOTO YOU WILL SEE THE SPACE BETWEEN THE SEAT AND THE SMALLER SEAT IN THE MIDDLE HOW FAR IT CAME OFF THE BRACKETS.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. IT CONSTANTLY RE-OPENS AFTER PRESSING THE CLOSE BUTTON OR USING THE HANDLE AND MUST BE FORCED CLOSED MANUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH TIME. WE TRY TO NOT USE THAT DOOR WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THAT IS THE DOOR CLOSEST TO ME FOR MY CHILDREN TO USE. AND THE OTHER DAY WHEN MY DAUGHTER ACCIDENTALLY FORGOT AND USED THAT DOOR, I SHUT IT AND WE WENT ON TO OUR ERRANDS, WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE VAN THE DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN, OBVIOUSLY IT AUTOMATICALLY OPENED AS WE LEFT. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. AT 4 YEARS OLD THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. MY LAST HONDA ODDESSEY WAS A 2009, IT DID THE SAME THING, AAA HAD TO COME ONE DAY WHILE I WAS STUCK AT THE GYM AND COULD NOT GET IT TO CLOSE. THEY HAD TO CUT THE WIRES ON THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT. NOW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY A RECALL.

ENGINE
ENGINE IS BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL RESULTING IN A P3497 OBD II FAULT CODE. LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DOES NOT TURN ON, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE BURNED OVER 2 QUARTS OF OIL. BECAME AWARE OF ISSUE WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL, THEN OBTAINED AN OIL CHANGE THE NEXT DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS A VERY HIGH RISK OF ENGINE SEIZING. HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. HONDA DID ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN 11-033 TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER AT A COST OF $125. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET...NO NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA.
