DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND CAR BEGIN MISFIRING. HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO MISFIRE FOR A FEW MILES TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. GOT CAR TO REPAIR SHIP AND THEY REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS BECAUSE THEY WERE IN BAD SHAPE AND ONE NO LONGER WORKED. THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER THAT. 4 MONTHS LATER WHILE ON HIGHWAY SAME MISFIRE HAPPENED. I TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND SAID THE O-RINGS NEED REPLACED. THEY TRIED TO GET HONDA TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S THE SAME ISSUE THAT LED TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2011-2013 HONDA ODYSSEYS. IN THAT CASE THE "PISTON RINGS IN CERTAIN CYLINDERS MAY ROTATE AND ALIGN, LEADING TO ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SPARK PLUG FOULING." HONDA OF AMERICA SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME ISSUE.

WE HAVE HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED, THE ROTORS AND BREAK PADS ARE GOOD. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARD AND HONDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

OUR 2014 DIAMOND WHITE PEARL HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A FACTORY PAINT DEFECT CALLED DELAMINATION. THE PAINT STARTED PEELING OFF IN SHEETS / LARGE SECTIONS FROM THE ROOF IN JANUARY 2019 AND THEN THE TAILGATE IN FEBRUARY 2019. THE WHITE PAINT BASE COAT IS CLEANLY SEPARATING FROM THE ED PRIMER. AMERICAN HONDA USA REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM AND ACTUALLY TRYING TO STATE THIS IS OWNER WEAR & TEAR? THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT 100% AND HONDA NEEDS TO ADMIT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AFFECTING ALL NEWER WHITE HONDA'S LIKE 2016 HRV, 2015 PILOTS, FITS & ODYSSEYS, 2014 PILOTS & ODYSSEYS, 2013, 2012 ETC ETC. ANYTHING WHITE FROM HONDA AND EVEN ACURA, MADE IN THEIR USA & MEXICO FACTORIES. CBS 2 LOS ANGELES NO HAS AN OPEN AND ONGOING INVESTIGATION AS WELL: HTTPS://LOSANGELES.CBSLOCAL.COM/VIDEO/PROGRAM/1200/4059251-2-ON-YOUR-SIDE-PEELING-CAR-PAINT/ ALL WE WANT IS HONDA USA TO COVER THIS DEFECT 100%, AND IF THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THESE WHITE HONDA'S TO OWNERS NOT LETTING THEM KNOW THE PAINT WILL ONLY LAST BETWEEN 3-5 YEARS THEY ARE PRACTICING IN CONSUMER FRAUD. INDUSTRY STANDARD IS FOR A CARS PAINT TO LAST A MINIMUM OF 10 YEARS UNDER NORMAL USE.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES
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).

WE HAVE HAD ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH OUR ROTORS. THEY HAD TO BE MACHINED AFTER ONLY 15,000 MILES AND REPLACE AFTER 30,000 MILES. WE REPLACED THEM WITH HIGH END NAPA ROTORS SINCE WE DID NOT TRUST HONDA ROTORS AND HONDA REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM. NOW AT 54,000 MILES, THE BRAKES ARE SHIMMYING AGAIN.

MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY MOST NOTABLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS VERY COLD BELOW 30 DEGREES AND FIRST THING IN THE AM. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IT'S AS IF I'M STUCK IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHIFTS AND IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS VERY LOUD & THEN THE CAR JERKS FORWARD FROM THE CAR SHIFTING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WHEN MY CAR WAS VERY NEW WITHIN THE FIRST 1-2 YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET IT TO 'THROW A CODE' FOR THEM. I EVEN LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT SO THAT THEY COULD DRIVE THE CAR COLD IN THE MORNING AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM. IT IS VERY RANDOM WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN? AFTER READING MANY HONDA ODYSSEY ONLINE CHATS EVERYONE SAYS IT'S THE COMPUTER AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS HAS SEEMED TO WORK AND STOPS THE JERKY SHIFTING FOR THE TIME BEING. SO NOW WHEN MY CAR STARTS JERKING ME DOWN THE ROAD AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT I HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTART IT. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL BY NOW BUT I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE REPORTED IT EARLIER. TO SUM IT UP THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTERIZED SHIFTING MECHANISM THAT FOR SOME REASON WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE KEEPS THE CAR IN LOW GEARS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EVERY TIME I'VE HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED THEY COMMENT ON HOW DIRTY IT IS? I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND NO ONE CAN SOLVE IT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN DRIVEN TO WALDORF HONDA (2450 CRAIN HWY, WALDORF, 20301). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. INITIALLY, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED, BUT LATER STATED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE ROTORS - DO I REALLY NEED TO GO INTO DETAIL? 54,000 MILES AND FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED TWICE AND NOW THE REAR NEED IT AS WELL. SEVERE SHIMMYING/VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAUSES INCONSISTENT REACTION FORCES BETWEEN THE TIRE AND ROAD SURFACE THAT COULD CAUSE UNPREDICTABLE VEHICLE RESPONSE! DOES A CHILD NEED TO LOOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED? DOES ANYONE READ THESE COMPLAINTS? IS HONDA DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? HOW HAS THE NHTSA NOT PERFORMED AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS? COME GET MY VAN AND TRY IT OUT!
