STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
THE TAIL GATE LIFT WAS WORKING FINE ONE DAY AND ON THE NEXT DAY THE TAIL GATE HIT MY WIFE IN THE HEAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THIS HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING. HONDA MUST FIX THIS MATTER BECAUSE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
YESTERDAY MY THREE YEAR OLD HAD 3 OF HIS TEETH NEARLY RIPPED OUT OF HIS HEAD BY AN INTEGRATED SUNSHADE IN THE SLIDING DOOR OF MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. BY NEARLY RIPPED OUT I MEAN THEY GOT CAUGHT IN THE THING WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENING...THE DOOR DIDN'T STOP OPENING AND IT CAUSED HIS TEETH TO STICK STRAIGHT OUT OF HIS MOUTH (MOVED ALMOST 90 DEGREES UPWARD). THE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY UP AND THE WINDOWS ARE TINTED IN THE REAR OF THE ODYSSEY'S SO I COULDN'T SEE HIM HOLDING (AND APPARENTLY BITING) THE SUNSHADE WHILE APPROACHING THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR. I WOULD NOT HAVE OPENED THE DOOR KNOWING IT WAS IN HIS MOUTH. I APPLIED PRESSURE AND GOT HIS TEETH TO GO BACK IN PLACE AND TOOK HIM TO THE DENTIST. WE ARE ON A WAIT-AND-SEE SCENARIO WITH WHETHER OR NOT MY CHILD WILL LOSE HIS TEETH. I INQUIRED, WITH HONDA VEHICLES, IF THERE WAS ANY SORT OF LOCK FOR THIS SUNSHADE AND WHY THERE ISN'T A SENSOR TO INDICATE SOMETHING IS TUGGING ON THE DOORS. HE TOLD ME THERE IS NO PRODUCT THAT CAN LOCK THE SUNSHADE IN THE RETRACTED POSITION TO PREVENT INJURIES, DIDN'T COMMENT ON THE SENSORS, AND TOLD ME TO MOVE MY CHILD TO THE BACK SEAT OF THE VAN. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, OUR TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA SHOP AND THE CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST APROX. $5,800.00. 37 MONTHS AGO HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION THE 1ST TIME BECAUSE OF A RECALL. WHEN WE SPOKE TO HONDA, THEY TOLD US THEY DID NOT WARRANTY RECALLS. SO, NOW OUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILY IS NOW WORTH $500.00. WE THINK HONDA EITHER REPLACED THE RECALLED TRANSMISSION WITH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT TO SAVE MONEY, OR USED THE SAME RECALLED TRANSMISSION TO REPLACE OUR FACTORY TRANSMISSION. IF WE HAD KNOWN THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON RECALLED REPAIRS, WE WOULD HAVE DONE THINGS DIFFERENTLY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING ON A CLEAR, DRY DAY AT 45-50 MPH, THE CAR SELF-BRAKES CAUSING WHIPLASH. UNPREDICTABLE WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 4 YEARS. HONDA DEALER REPLACED SENSOR LAST TIME ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE IT SO THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THEY STATED THEY CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. EVER. MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF COULD BE KILLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES OPERATED ON THEIR OWN AS I MADE A LEFT TURN AND WAS ASCENDING A HIGHWAY RAMP AT 20MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. I TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND DROVE 45 MILES TO MY HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. IN FEBRUARY, 2012, I MADE A RIGHT TURN ASCENDING A HIGHWAY RAMP AT ABOUT 25MPH. THE BRAKES OPERATED ON THEIR OWN. AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED OFF THE MOTOR AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME I DROVE IT 100 MILES TO THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND LEFT IT THERE (IT WAS A SATURDAY NIGHT). NEITHER THE AGENCY WHERE I PURCHASED IT NOR THE HONDA AGENCY 60 MILES FROM MY HOME COULD FIND A PROBLEM. IN APRIL, 2012 THE BRAKES OPERATED ON THEIR OWN AFTER MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN. I WAS GOING 20-25MPH. I PULLED OVER, TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN. AGAIN, NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN JUNE, 2012 AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. IN NOVEMBER, 2012 IT BRAKED AGAIN. I LEFT THE MOTOR RUNNING AND CALLED THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY CAME AND DROVE IT TO THEIR SHOP (IT TRIED TO BRAKE 5 TIMES DURING THE 10 MILE DRIVE BUT DID NOT SUCCEED). A STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WAS REPLACED PER THE CODES. MARCH, 2013, 250 MILES FROM HOME IT DID IT AGAIN. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND DROVE 250 MILES HOME. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A "HISTORY", BUT PILOTS AND ACURAS HAD A RECALL IN MARCH, 2013 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. DO I HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE AND WE WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. FUSE BOX WAS CHECKED. ALL WORKING. LOCKS WERE CHECKED. ALL WORKING. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WILL OPERATE. THANKFULLY, THEY ROLLED BACK UP AND WE LOCKED IT WITH THE MAIN SWITCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. AT FIRST THEY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY, HOWEVER, AFTER UNLOCKING THE SAFETY MASTER WINDOW SWITCH AFTER OUR VACATION, THE WINDOWS NO LONGER WORK (EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW). THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN NEEDING FRESH AIR, OR FOR GETTING CAR SICK. I'VE SEEN MANY VEHICLES OF THIS SAME MANUFACTURER HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WHEN SEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS ONLINE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WE HAVE A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 76,000 MILES. IN DECEMBER 2012 WE HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-4 MINUTES, EXITING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING TO REACH 65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN WE REACHED APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH AND WERE STILL ACCELERATING THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 SECONDS, LURCHING US FORWARD. WE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN TO PULL OVER. IT AGAIN SPONTANEOUSLY BRAKED AS WE WERE SLOWING DOWN. WE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE SLOWLY ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TO GET TO THE NEXT EXIT, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ONCE WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO STOP IN A SAFE PLACE WE TURNED OFF THE CAR. WE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY ONLY FOUND ONE CODE - THE STEERING SENSOR. THEY RE-CALIBRATED IT BUT WERE NOT CONVINCED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. SURE ENOUGH, APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE WERE NOT GOING QUITE AS FAST AND IT DID NOT LURCH QUITE AS SEVERE. AFTER IT DID THIS THREE TIMES I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND PUSHED THE SWITCH TO TURN THE VSA OFF. IT DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NO CODES. THEY DROVE 17 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS BOTH TIMES WERE APPROXIMATELY 30-40 DEGREES WITH SOME SNOW OR WETNESS ON THE GROUND FROM PRIOR PRECIPITATION. THE DEALER CONTINUES TO SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SHOWS NO CODE AND THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY INSTRUCTED DEALER TO DRIVE AGAIN AND TRY TO DUPLICATE. THEY DENY ANY OTHER INCIDENTS DOCUMENTED (DESPITE LISTINGS ON THIS WEBSITE THAT SAY THEY HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE SAME PROBLEM.) *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON. DEALER SAID IT WAS RIGHT FRONT SENSOR WHICH THEY REPLACED. IT DID NOT FIX IT AND NOW THEY SAY THE CONTROL SYSTEM IS BAD AND AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK. PERHAPS THIS IS RELATED TO OTHER HONDA AIR BAG RECALLS. THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, BRAKES (RECALLED), STEERING (RECALLED) AND AIR BAGS. *TR

TIRES
TODAY 2/15/13 , WHEN MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING FROM AUSTIN TO HOUSTON AROUND 7:30 AM ON A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI VAN A ONE OF FOUR TIRES EXPLODED. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING ON THE HIGHWAY IT JUST EXPLODED IN AN AREA CLOSE TO THE RIM. IT WAS A REAR TIRE. WE CALLED AAA TO COME TO HELP US AND LATER WE WENT TO 2 DIFFERENT GOODYEAR TIRE OUTLETS AND I NOTICED THAT ALL TIRES OF THESE KIND HAD BUBBLES ALL OVER THE TIRES. THE TIRES WERE BOUGHT LESS THAN 3 YEARS AGO AND HAVE ABOUT HALF OF ITS TREADS LEFT ON THEM. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
BOTH MY POWER SLIDING DOORS ARE STARTING TO FAIL. THERE SEEM TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT REAR POWER DOOR ISSUES ON THE ODYSSEYS. OUR DRIVER SIDE REAR POWER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK PROPERLY UNLESS DONE MANUALLY AND IT WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE OR THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS MAKES A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN IT OPENS AND ALSO MAKE A NOISE AFTER ITS CLOSED AS IF THE DOOR HADN'T LATCHED PROPERLY. HAVE NOT HAD ANY BROKEN OR FALLEN DOORS YET. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ENDEMIC ISSUE RATHER THAN A FEW PROBLEMS HERE AND THERE. THIS IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH SAFETY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE HENCE REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM HONDA WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I HAVE TO RUSH MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY AND AM NOT ABLE TO OPEN EITHER DOORS OR AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PARENTS MY DOOR FALLS WHILE DRIVING?????? THIS IS A PART OF THE CAR THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER ANY YEAR OF SERVICE AND SENSIBLE USE, HOWEVER IS HAPPENING TO NEW AS WELL AS OLDER MODELS. AND WHY ARE WE CONTINUOUSLY BEING STUCK WITH THE BILL (UPWARDS OF $500.00) FOR HONDA'S FAILURE TO PRODUCE QUALITY DOORS AND DOOR ASSEMBLIES FOR ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF A CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FROM YOU GOVERNMENT WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THIS. WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER TOYOTA SITUATION, WHERE WE HAD TO SEE PEOPLE PERISHING BEFORE YOU GUYS DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!!! *TR
