POWER TRAIN
WE CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND AS WE STARTED MOVING WHEN LIGHT WAS GREEN IN SLOW SPEED SOMETHING MADE A BIG CLUNK AND EACH TIME WE CAME TO A STOP AND PRESSED ON GAS PEDAL TO PROCEED THEN CLUNK AND JERK BECAME LOUDER AND MORE INTENSE. WE PULLED OVER TURNED VAN OFF STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT QUIT. WE HAVE IT IN THE HONDA DEALER NOW AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. THEY DID ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID. KEEPING OVER NIGHT PER OUR CHOIC OUT OF TWO (OR PICK UP AND TAKE HOME), TO SEE IF IT DOES SAME THING IN THE MORNING. IT'S VERY SCARY WE DON'T REALLY TRUST IT ON TRIPS. SO DISAPPOINTED. PLEASE HELP US! THERE IS ON YOUTUBE THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENING TO OURS IN SAME MAKE AND YEAR VAN. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/4D2LJTBUAKS. SEEMS AS THOUGH WHEN IT GOES TO SHIFT INTO SECOND THATS WHEN IT CLUNK AND JERKS.

WHEELS
METAL VALVE STEM CAP WERE INSTALLED ON TIRES WHEN I GOT MY CAR BRAND NEW. YESTERDAY I TRIED TO OPEN THE CAP FOR REFILL, THEY ARE UNABLE TO OPEN DUE TO CORRODED METAL. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I BELIEVE OPENING UP A TIRE VALVE CAP SHOULD BE EASY, BUT FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE. I DID NOT WANT TO BREAK THE VALVE OR DAMAGE MYSELF. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE ON TIRES NOT PROPERLY INFLATED.

RECALLS NUMBER 17V-725 AND 18V-170 APPEAR TO BE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES FOR PASSENGERS IN THE 2ND ROW SEATS, AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A MANUFACTURER SOLUTION. FOR THE 17V-725 RECALL, IT HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT A SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG AND WHY HASN'T NHSTA NOT TAKEN STRONGER ACTION TO COMPEL HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM? THIS IS WHY YOU EXIST, TO KEEP CONSUMERS SAFE BEFORE A SAFETY INCIDENT OCCURS. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS WITH HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 20-30MPH, MY VEHICLE CONVULSES DURING A GEAR SHIFT, EVERY TIME I SWITCH FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. CURRENT VEHICLE SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS. 17-044 AND 17-043 ISSUED ON 2-28-2018. NO WARRANTY OFFERED AFTER 60,000 MILES. I'M CURRENTLY AT 67, 700. NO ASSISTANCE BEING OFFERED BY HONDA OR AUTHORIZED DEALER. IF SERVICE BULLETIN DOES NOT GOOD THE ISSUE, HONDA RECOMMENDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT!! AS A CONSUMER, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND FEEL HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS, NOT THE CONSUMER. TO ISSUE A TSV MEANS THEY KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
COMING DOWN MCDONALDS PASS, THE VAN WAS GOING FASTER THAN I WANTED, 50 OR 60 MILES PER HOUR SO I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN ON CLEAR BLACKTOP, NO ICE. WHEN I DID,THE FRONT END WHEELS SHIMMIED EACH TIME I TAPPED THE BREAKS. IT SCARED ME, BECAUSE IF IT HAD BEEN ICY, I COULD NOT HAVE SLOWED DOWN AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO GET TO A SAFER SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY SLOW DOWN, BUT THE FRONT END KEPT SHIMMYING EACH TIME I TAPPED THE BRAKES GOING DOWN THE STEEP HILL AND THERE WERE CURVES IN THE ROAD AS WELL.

NOVEMBER 2017 NEWS REPORTS DESCRIBED A SAFETY RECALL OF CERTAIN MODEL YEARS OF HONDA ODYSSEY VAN SECOND ROW SEATING. THIS WAS DUE TO SEATS NOT BEING SECURE IN SUDDEN STOP OR IMPACT. SINCE THAT TIME, NOW 4 MONTHS, SEVERAL DEALERSHIP CLAIM NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN THE RECALL REPAIRS WILL BE HONORED AND REFER CALLERS TO HONDA AMERICA. HONDA AMERICA REFERS ALL CALLS TO DEALERS AND STATES THIS IS "NOT REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE" BUT A MATTER OF OPERATOR ERROR. I WOULD SUBMIT THAT IF THE SEAT LATCH SYSTEM CAN BE INSTALLED/OPERATED IMPROPERLY THEN IT IS IN FACT A SAFETY RELATED DESIGN DEFECT WHICH A CORPORATION THE SIZE OF HONDA COULD HAVE REPAIRED BY NOW, IF THEY WERE NOT DENYING THE PROBLEM! CAN DOT ENFORCE AN EXISTING FEDERAL RECALL?

POWER TRAIN
CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY DURING MILD ACCELERATION, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND SPEEDS. THIS CAN OCCUR RIGHT AFTER STARTUP OR CAN START AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. IT CONTINUES UNTIL THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM DISSAPPEARS WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. IT OCCURS VERY RANDOMLY, I.E., INTERVALS OF WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE IT OCCUR AT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT., AND IT DOES NOT GIVE A COMPUTER CODE. THE DEALER CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE.

THIS IS THE 2ND RECALL I'VE HAD ON MY CAR WITHIN A YEAR ALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE 2ND ROW SEATS NOT LATCHING PROPERLY. THE LADY ON THE PHONE JUST TOLD ME THAT IF I BRAKE TOO HARD THE SEAT COULD POSSIBLY COME UNLATCHED. I HAVE A CHILD AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT HONDA ISN'T DOING ANYTHING EXCEPT WAITING FOR PARTS TO COME IN AND NOT SELLING THEIR NEW VANS UNTIL THESE PARTS COME IN. I DON'T FEEL THAT IS ENOUGH. HOW CAN HONDA ALLOW PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES TO STILL BE DRIVING THEM UNTIL THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. IF I BRAKE HARD AND THE SEAT COMES UNLATCHED FROM THE FLOOR BOARD, WHICH IS WHAT THE LADY TOLD ME, THAT IS SUPER UNSAFE AND HONDA SHOULD BE DOING MORE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, EVEN WORSE IF SOMEONE IS TO RUN INTO YOU OR REAR-END YOU. THE CHILD OR ADULT, WHOMEVER, WILL PROBABLY DIE IF THE SEAT UNLATCHES FROM THE FLOORBOARD. AND BETTER YET, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE PARTS IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING (IN MOTION) ON SLIPPERY, WET, BUT ICY ROADS IN TOWN. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. TWICE, I HAD TO STOP SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN I NORMALLY WOULD HAVE, BUT WHEN I STARTED TAPPING THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP, THEY FELT LIKE THEY LOCKED UP ON ME AND IT TOOK AWHILE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO HAVE ANY "BRAKE" FEELING AT ALL! THE WHEEL WALLS, I NOTICED LATER HAVE SMALL SPACE BETWEEN TIRE AND WHEEL WALL, CAUSING SNOW BUILD-UP, WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A PROBLEM IN THE BRAKING ABILITY ALSO. AFTER THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, MY BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT WARNING CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON NOW. BUT, AFTER I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CAR WASH AND GOT ALL THE ICE OUT OF THE WHEEL WELLS, THE BRAKES ARE WORKING FINE AND SMOOTH STOPPING, STILL ICY CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD. I THINK THE WHEEL WALLS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN THE TIRES AND WHEEL WALLS. IN ICY CONDITIONS, IT SEEMS TO BE PUTTING DANGEROUS PRESSURE ON MY BRAKE SYSTEM, WHEN IN MOTION APPLYING THE BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A ROAD WHEN ALL THE ABOVE OCCURRED.
