SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2007 ODYSSEY LX HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR 40 MINUTES WHEN WE CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND BRAKED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL HALFWAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SOFT BRAKES FOR A WHILE SO I HAVE ADJUSTED MY BRAKING, GIVING IT A LONG RUN TO STOP, BUT THIS TIME EVEN THAT WASN'T ENOUGH. THE HONDA DEALER TOLD US THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS WORKING FINE! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DRIVER IN FRONT ME STOPPED AND I WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO THE UNRESPONSIVENESS OF MY 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. I ENDED UP REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. WE'VE BEEN COMPLAINING OF SOFT BRAKES AND THE INABILITY TO STOP FOR AWHILE TO THE DEALER. THEY'VE SAID IT'S NORMAL. ON A TRIP UP TO RENO RECENTLY, IT WAS VERY APPARENT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS STOPPING. THE BRAKES WOULD CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE. WE'VE HAD MANY VEHICLES AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I OWNED A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 5 YEAR / 60000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY. ON JAN 4, 2010, A/C STOP WORKING AND I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER EXPECTING FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE DEALER TOLD ME THE DAMAGE WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZARD AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER STATED THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL YEAR BUT THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. THEY CAN NOT REPAIR ANY DAMAGES DUE TO ROAD HAZARD. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY HONDA OWNER HAD EXACT PROBLEM AS I DID. IF IT A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, WHY HONDA IS NOT COMING UP WITH A FIX TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCE. DEALER IS ENJOYING THIS "DESIGN" FLAW BY CHARGING INNOCENT CUSTOMER WITH MORE THAN $1300 REPAIR. CAN YOU KINDLY INVESTIGATE THIS UN-ETHICAL PRACTICE? *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE WITH MY WIFE AND OUR 5 CHILDREN AT A STEADY SPEED OF 60 MPH, THERE WAS A SNAP/JERKING MOTION FELT AND SLIGHT RUBBER SMELL AND THE VAN IMMEDIATELY LOST ACCELERATION. THERE WAS STEADY TRAFFIC I HAD TO NEGOTIATE THROUGH TO GET OUR VAN SAFELY OFF THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT DO SO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED FOR THE LAST REPLACEMENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO ADVISE OF RECOURSE OPTIONS I HAVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2000 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE, APPROXIMATELY THE 3RD FAILURE SINCE PURCHASED IN 2005 OR EARLY 2006. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS, THE VAN DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL AND WITHOUT WARNING. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE ONCE STRANDED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN GOD INTERVENED AND GAVE HER JUST ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE SHE WAS TOWED FROM. JANUARY 2ND AT 2AM THE TRANNY WENT OUT ON HIGHWAY 80 AND MY WIFE THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. IT WAS THE TRANNY. AND MY 4 YOUNGEST CHILDREN WAS WITH HER. *TR

STEERING
AT AROUND 25,000 MILES, MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY DEVELOPED A NOISE IN THE ENGINE BAY, WHILE AND AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE POWER STEERING AT TIMES SEEMED WITHOUT ASSIST. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE, AND THE PROBLEM IS INCREASING IN SEVERITY AND FREQUENCY. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, AND NO REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED BY HONDA MOTORS, DESPITE MANY CLAIMS OF IDENTICAL SAFETY ISSUES FOUND UPON A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE COMPLETE POWER ASSIST FAILURE WILL CAUSE A COLLISION, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND INJURY. *TR
