VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN LIKE SOMEONE PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND HELD IT TO THE FLOOR. THIS CONSTANT ACCELERATION ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS WE WERE FORCED TO WEAVE AROUND IN TRAFFIC UNTIL WE COULD PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED AND WE FOUGHT THE VAN WITH THE BRAKES ON UNTIL WE COULD SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE IN PARK, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT REDLINE LEVELS. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN A COUPLE OF TIMES AS IT CONTINUED TO BE REVVING AT RED LINE LEVELS. EVENTUALLY AFTER SLAMMING ON THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES, THE ENGINE IDLED AT NORMAL LEVELS. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE IN A LIGHT TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IN MODERATE OR HEAVY TRAFFIC - ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE 4 KIDS. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I OWN A 2004 HONDA ODESSEY. I WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OPENING THE PASSENGER DOOR, WHICH IS AUTOMATIC. MY 2 YEAR-OLD LEANED AGAINST THE OUTSIDE OF THE VAN AGAINST THE REAR PANEL AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE AUTOMATIC REAR DOOR WAS OPENING. SHE BECAME LODGED BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE VAN. THE REVERSE MECHANISM ON THE DOOR DID NOT OPERATE (OR DOESN'T EXIST) AND I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL THE DOOR OFF HER AND DISLODGE HER FROM BETWEEN THE DOOR AND VAN. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO HONDA AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD 10 OTHER REPORTS THUS FAR. MY DAUGHTER DID NOT SUFFER A SERIOUS INJURY. HOWEVER, I FEEL THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SERIOUS INJURY TO A CHILD IN THIS MANNER. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST
WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO REDUCE THE SPEED BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED ABRUPTLY. I APPLIED MORE AND MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. VEHICLE WAS NOT STOPPING ANY FASTER. I DID NOT PUMP THE BRAKES SINCE ODYSSEY HAS ABS AND THEY DID NOT KICK IN THOUGH I APPLIED A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. *AK I COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR FASTER.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
DAILY MY 2004 ODYSSEY WILL STALL. THE ENGINE WILL START, RUN FOR ONE SECOND, THEN SHUT OFF. THIS WILL OCCUR FOR ONE MINUTE TO ONE HOUR. IT FIRST OCCURED WHEN THE VAN HAD THREE HUNDRED MILES ON ITS ODOMETER. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES, BUT THEY TELL ME IT CANNOT BE FIXED UNLESS IT ACTS UP AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT I AM PRESSING ON THE FOOTFEET AND FLOODING THE VAN. LASTLY, THEY TOLD ME TO HOLD THE KEY TWO SECONDS AFTER THE VAN STARTS-EVEN THOUGH THIS WILL WEAR OUT THE STARTER. NO DEATHS OR INJURIES HAVE OCCURED DUE TO THIS, JUST A RUINED VACATION AND MANY TIMES OF BEING STRANDED WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT START. IT HAS NEVER BEEN EXAMINED BY ANYONE AT A DEALERSHIP-THE SERVICE ADVISER WOULD ALWAYS SEND ME AWAY WITHOUT HAVING A TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHEN DRIVING AT A CONSISTENT SPEED BETWEEN 30 AND 50 MPH, ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS LOSING POWER AND THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE FLUCTUATES, THIS WILL OCCUR FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN REGARDLESS IF THE ENGINE IS COOL OR HOT. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER AND TECHNICIAN ONLY TOOK THE VAN OUT FOR ONE TEST DRIVE WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. I TOLD SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK VAN ON JULY 08, CONTACTED HONDA, STILL NO RESOLUTION.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN SHIFTING UP FROM A LOWER GEAR (FROM 1ST TO 2ND) MOST NOTABLY AT LOW SPEEDS, AROUND 20 TO 25 MPH, THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS REVVING HIGHER THAN NORMAL BEFORE SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. WHEN IT DOES SHIFT, IT SHIFTS HARD AND MAKES A CLANKING NOISE. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS STICKING, PREVENTING IT FROM CHANGING GEARS IN A NORMAL FASHION. I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT OCCURRING AT ANY SPECIFIC TIME, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM INTERVALS WHEN DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VAN IN FOR INSPECTION AND THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT RECREATE THIS PROBLEM. TOOK VAN ON JULY 08, CONTACTED HONDA, THE PROBLEM STILL HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED. THIS IS ONE OF SIX PROBLEMS I HAD TO TAKE THE VAN IN FOR. AFTER HAVING THE VAN FOR TWO WEEKS, ONLY TWO NON-MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WERE PARTIALLY RESOLVED AND ONE NON-MECHANICAL PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED COMPLETELY.*AK
